Here is a basic rudimentary video of how Buforn's drawings "MAY" be working..  I think it makes more sense than the common logic.

AC starts the process by going into the center coil.  The 2 outer coils start producing alternate current.  We arrange the outside electromagnets so when we parallel the leads, you have AC current between the parallel leads.

Now we hookup a diode to one side to change the parallel AC to get direct.  We lose half the amperage, as only 1 electromagnet is sending at a time now.  That direct + is fed into the commutator / resistor rig which creates the growing / shrinking fields into 2 leads..

Now we untie the electromagnet leads that do not have the diode and we feed the 2 sides of the resistor rig into each coil's return lead.   We now have 1 complete circuit that is self-exciting.

The foreign generator can now be removed and the center coil that jumpstarted the process now becomes the output coil.

No claims being made as usual..  But based on Buforn's drawings, makes sense in my mind.

Request to Math Wizards...

Can someone help me calculate the resistor values to achieve the wave in the image as designed?  I have spent dozens and dozens of hours calculating different values over and over and can not get the pattern right for the life of me..  Maybe it's not possible??

Goal-  2 sinewaves exactly 180 degrees out of phase perfectly equal..  Crossing at the exact middle..

I am currently getting the waves equal by using 2 separate resistor rigs..  But I want to see if it is possible to form 2 exact waves that cross in the exact middle as the patent is drawn..

 

Nice work. 
Try the same value for all resistors, voltage dividing is linear. 
You could try a sliding potmeter, then you can vary the ohms manually by hand, total resistance is always the same.

Hi Floodrod,

Sorry, I haven't been following your detailed design much; but hopefully this may provide some further
insight to your sine wave generation development:

A few screen shoots below to show the concept found in the link above.
 
If not, appologies for the interuption... Your work on Figuera is quite interesting - good luck!

Imightknow
Agreed and I also noticed there are some people who consistently spam post random unrelated pictures or links the moment there is some movement towards a working principal of a free energy device. There should be no surprise here and it's common knowledge most big corporations and some governments hire paid shills to spread misinformation and distract on all forms of media.

I even ran some social experiments where I would move the conversation towards some more relevant facts, ergo bait them, and note which people made obvious attempts to distract and how they did it. The mistake I think most make is confusing ignorance with intent. To suppose some fool just spam posts every thread with nonsense where progress is being made but not recognizing the consistent pattern of behavior. You see the same people always do exactly the same things in the same way as if on cue.

My favorite is the "I'm one of you and look at all my builds shtick". Let's just build random shit which has no chance of ever working then criticize those who actually want to understand how they could work. Of course working principals could lead to a working device rather than countless nonsensical builds which never will. We naturally want to believe those who appear to have made an effort, a build, and that's the whole point. Anyone could build any number of nonsensical devices to mislead and distract a majority of people. Look, look at all the work they did, they would never mislead us or is the whole point to distract?.

Well said and it's really hard to know who is who but I found there is one way that works and seems obvious.

When someone offers something which makes us actually think or has some tangible value it's more likely to be sincere. Thinking independently and producing something of value is why were here. Look for the value in it, if there is no value or we have not learned anything then we have our answer...

Hi Onepower,

I went back a few pages to become more familiar with the work being done here regarding the Figuera device and ran accross your post.

Was glad to see I'm not the only one to notice this Shill trend on the threads that show progress. It's the same guys, for the most part.

But I still haven't exactly figured out whether they are actually paid Shill Trolls or just disruptive, very jealous children, that are afraid of
being left out. Maybe just the "center of attention" thing - IDK?  BTW - ran some similar analysis (experiments) on a few threads, as you
did, research for a lecture series on Shills, Trolls, and LARPS. The results were sad, but unfortunately, not suprising. No matter - we'll Win!
 
Oh well, it is what it is! Lets just leave it at that for now - maybe worthy of discussion and finding a solution - but in another thread...

Anyway - I'd like to see where this Figuera thread goes - appears to be on the right track so far and seems viable! 

Floodrod, et al, are doing some excellent work here. Please forgive me for the OT.

Hi Floodrod,

Quick question:

Would a Dual Channel synchronized Sine Wave Generator (30MHz 50 ohm adj->20V output) work for driving your coils?

If so - let me know...

Something like the JDS2900 (pdf manual attached)

Thank You SL,  but I don't think it will help.  With this setup, there can be no flipping of polarities in the primaries.  I don't think anyone really sees the operation like I do (not that I am right).

So to explain, lets take a coil..  We can induct it to go NORTH in 2 ways.. 

1 way would be to bring a north magnetic field into it.  Growing north will cause the coil to try to repel the motion and make the coil go North.

2nd way would be to pull a SOUTH field away.  Again, the coil tries to stop the motion and as South is leaving, the coil turns NORTH.

The Figuera setup mimics the second way.  It causes the induction coil to react to a field by pulling away the field ** Without flipping polarity on the primary***..   

Now if we hit the induction coil from both sides, one field growing and the other pulling away, the coils are acting like a North and South even though current direction and winding direction are the same in both!  We get real AC from the induction coil between them. But the best part is how the electromagnets should react in this setup with respect to induction back to the primaries..  The magic happens in the electromagnet with the shrinking field.

Just think of how a transformer works. The normal way we get the secondary to go North is by making the primary grow North. But with this method, we can get the secondary to go NORTH with the opposite current direction in the primary by retreating south..

1. The electromagnets driving current must never switch polarities.
2. The electromagnets must simulate 2 sinewaves 180 degrees out of phase. And evenly.
3. We can not collapse the fields, 100% duty cycle  is needed.

I appreciate you looking out..

Now, both channels can also be amplitude offset by +/- 10VDC (PP_max is 20V) so at say 5V_pp they would not cross zero but remain positive
for the full cycle [+10V to 0V].

This statement may change everything.  If they can create the 2 waves with a full positive bias, it makes it interesting..

When we induce a coil between the 2 waves, the retreating wave will go past the zero line..  The source will not switch polarities, but the induction coil will push it past the zero line from it's magnetic coupling. Thus sending power back to the signal generator on the positive retreating lead.

Figuera didn't have reliable diodes back in 1908, so he needed to use both sides of the same resistor to return the energy..  Since both coils always flow power one way at 100% duty cycle, Shouldn't be much of a problem to route the counter EMF around the signal generator with diodes.

If you do test it, can you run each output through separate diodes and test?  We probably do not want to route real power backwards through the signal generator. 

No luck amplifying it..  I grabbed a stereo amplifier and hooked the signal generator into the amplifier.  The signal generator can output the wave nicely, but the stereo amplifier converts is back to AC.  It's no longer positive biased.

I assume most (if not all) amplifiers use an induction coil..  As soon as we induct this positive biased sinewave, it turns right back to AC passing the zero line. 

You need a class A amplifier which never turns off or goes below the zero line.
