It seems that RandyFL is not the only one thinking about it.

At least I´m happy that my work could be useful for someone 

wowow Doug1, hold on a minute  !

I stated in my translator notes, that I was being as LITERAL as I could.
These are the patent words by Buforn, not mine !!!
IMHO its the  more tedious, repetitive, and obscure text I´ve never read in a patent. (I even found typos and spelling mistakes)

It is so even in Spanish, but someone here was using a worse program translation, and asked for a better option.
The simplicity of text in the Figuera patents, leaves many unknowns, but no booooring 

By the way,. . what´s a semi collapsing field ?? . . . will it send semi current back as it semi decays ?? and will it semi reverse the polarity  ?? (sorry, could not resist, no offense intended)

About my typo´s, please be kind to point them at me (in a PM) to be corrected asap. Thanks

cheers

Well here is my interpretation of the Figuera device.

-Core

es igual

Core,
So... from a side angle. Great job. Whats the bias coil for...? Now could you add one more thing to it. Draw a shaft ( rotor ) being held in place in the middle that spins and gives another avenue of the endless possibilities. Also you could have Y lower than the N and S to lay another coil on top of it............

Lastly... this bias coil... is that part of the U shaped iron... because it could be another Y if you separated it from the N and S and be a avenue for some more energy... plus you have that circle in the middle ( which puts this out of the ball park - home run ) great job.

All the best

This is how the above unit operates. In the PDF I give credit to the patents used. One of them is a device from Thomas Edison. In short these are concepts taken from other peoples hard work.



- CORE MATERIAL & SHAPE:
Iron is the only material used here. The shape of the core is extremely insignificant and does have to mach what is shown in the drawing. A Magnetic circuit will close regardless of the shape of the core material. To emphasize this you could create a core in the shape of Mickey Mouse with the smallest of air gaps and the magnetic circuit, providing the air gap closes via Magnetostriction, will still conduct magnetic current. For drawing purposes the core is shown square, functionality is the same regardless of shape when we are talking about Magnetic Currents. This drawing shows laminated iron sheets, in a square fashion, being used.


- SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

-Bias Circuit:
This circuit provides for a constant magnetization of the core material. The objective here is to constantly provide a low power driving force that keep the core material magnetized in a specific direction. Possible substitution here could be a permanent magnet core.
However the magnetizing force provided by this coil should be below the force required for the Magnetostriction effect. Initial voltage should be 24 volts D.C. @ .25 amps.

-PRIMARY COILS:
These coil provide the energy required to create the Magnetostriction effect in the larger iron core. It is estimated that this driving force should be no less then 120 volts @ 1 amp or 220 volts @ .5 amps. The coils should be oriented in a fashion that supplements the pole orientation shown on the drawing. These coils can be operated in the fashion shown by the Discharger circuit. If pulsed simultaneously a D.C. Output is created. If pulsed alternately an A.C. Output is created.

Resonance is of importance here. However this resonance is not electrical resonance but the resonance of the core material. The mass of the core material will dictate the required pulse frequency.

- SECONDARY COIL:
This phrase is used loosely here and used for identification then actual practice. This coil should be robust as it will absorb/transport a large amount of current. Its sequence is as follows:

1. At the moment the iron core of the secondary comes in contact with the primary core material (via the Magnetostriction effect) a large current will flow throw this core.

2. This coil, at that moment, is shorted out via a mosfet. When shorted a large current will flow through the coil increasing the expansion of its core material thus increasing magnetic contact with the primary core.

3. At the moment the Primary coil(s) are de-energized the iron primary core retracts effectively opening the core to the designed air gap. The magnetic current, that was circulating rapidly through the magnetic core is abruptly halted due to the resistance encountered in the air gap of the core.

4. At this moment the magnetic energy is thrown from the iron. It is at this moment that the Secondary coil short is removed and the coil is allowed to feed a load or a storage capacitor. The moment the primary coil is closed again producing the Magnetostriction effect the secondary coil is shorted again.

5. This procedure is repeated in a smooth fashion at the resonant frequency of the primary core material.

-Core

Core,
Great job on your interpretation and your drawings. Now... have you got the replication in video of where it powers up and disconnects from the power and runs by itself and powers something else...

Also...is the transformer ( for lack of a better word ) stand alone or is it 5, 7 or 8 array...

All the Best

Alvaro,


Yo have done a great work translating the patent from 1914 by Buforn !!! I am sure that your work will be of great value to those wanting to replicate the original Figuera´s generator. This patent put into light some more details than the patent from 1908 because it defines the induced core orientation and it gives to arrangements for the induced coil with respect to the electromagnets. In this patent it is clear that the three cores must be aligned in a straight way :


(====)(====)(====)


but not forming a kind of transformer with the induced coil touching the 4 poles as Bajac stated in his personal proposal. That proposal from Bajac is wise, genuine and very interesting but it is not what Figuera porposed first in his 1902 patent, later in his 1908 and finally by Buforn after Figuera´s death (Buforn was a Figuera´s partner)   


Core,
It is good to see new ideas in the forum. I didn´t know the effect of magnetostriction (the deformation of the magnetic material as consequence of the magnetic polarity created). I have read some info in the wikipedia and this effect it is very little: around one micrometer (10^-6 m) of elongation per meter of length in the original material. It is too little to affect the space between inducers and induced coil. But it is just my guess after a quick review of the theory, but not sure if it could be the key. I have read that this effect is the acuse of the humming sound in transformer. In the other hand, Figuera never told about switch off and on both the inducer and the induced alternatively and shunting the induced coil while the inducer was powered. These are new ideas in your design but not in the patents. In case we were looking for and strange effect in the space between two magnet I tend to think that maybe it is more related to the works of Nikolaev with the discovery of the longitudinal magnetic field. I posted this in the next link. P please read it carefully and give your opinion:
