Wow, I have read some hundreds of pages of Patrick Kelly´s manual and just now have read about this generator!

Except for silverhealtheu´s proposal, which I´m not sure if has already been replicated successfully, and the Kunel patent. seems this is the simplest high power generator there...

Now, in Patrick´s book I saw the inner parts of the iron frames all rounded, which seems is something not easy to find.

Would this shape be a critical point?

Bajac,

First, congratulations on your work and, second, have you already made measurements on the output?

Daugustus,

Thank you for your participation.

I assume that you are referring to the inner corners of the C shape iron cores. The rounding is not an issue. I am using 90 degrees corners.

Thanks again,
Bajac

COMPARING HEINS AND FIGUERA'S TRANSFORMERS
« Reply #62 on: April 06, 2013, 08:53:38 PM »
 I have compared the designs from Clemente Figuera and Thanes Heins and concluded that the 100 years old concept is more efficient. The following are the bases for the conclusion:
 
Can you see a pattern between the apparatus of Figuera and Heins? Figuera’s design consists in placing a secondary coil between two primary coils. Meanwhile, Heins’ design shows a primary coil between two secondary coils.
 
As I already explained in my paper about the Figuera’s apparatus, the induced secondary magnetic field is pulled away from the inducing primary coil by the other primary coil. That is, there is no magnetic fields interaction between the inducing primary coil and the induced secondary coil. However, this is no true for the Heins’ apparatus.
 
First, the Heins’ apparatus found in this link:
 
http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/16180925?hostedIn=slideshare&referer=http://www.slideshare.net/ThaneCHeins#
 
indicates that the magnetic fields of the two secondary coils must interact with the primary in order for the apparatus to work. Moreover, in order for the Heins’ apparatus to have an optimum performance, the load on the secondary coils must be matched.
 
If you already read my article, you can see that the magnetic field distribution of the Heins’ design and shown in the above link is not correct. Because the magnetic field does not have a beginning or an end, it is not possible to have them flowing within the iron cores, only. Therefore, the secondary magnetic fields must cross the air gap windows of the Heins’ device to reach and interact with the only primary coil. When the loads connected to the secondary coils are the same, the net influence of the induced fields on the primary coil is zero. The effects of the secondary coils onto the primary are null and it can say that the Lenz’s law effect has been mitigated.
 
Second, if the secondary loads are not properly matched, the resultant of the secondary magnetic fields will react with the primary field in such a way as to oppose the primary magnetic field. As a consequence, the effects of the Lenz’s law are not completely cancelled and the current through the primary coil will increase. And,
 
Third, because of one secondary coil, the Figuera’s transformer should have lower output impedance than the Hein’s transformer. Having two secondary coils increases the magnetic flux losses and the wire resistance.
 
The Heins’ transformer should work better if the two secondary coils are connected in series to add their voltages. In this way you will always guarantee that the secondary magnetic fields are properly matched.
 
Finally, I have finished the construction of the primary and secondary coils. See my progress in the following photos: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/bobinasprimarias.jpg/

 Because of the criticality when matching the induced magnetic fields in the Heins transformer, in addition to matching the loads and the two secondary coils, the magnetic circuit must be symmetrical with respect to the center line passing through the primary coil. Any mismatch of these two halves can create serious instability issues. Said that, I expect the Heins transformer to be a little bit tricky to make it work.

I have simulated in Excel the output signal from the comutator as designed in 1908 (I have posted the Excel file with the simulation)

In the Excel file you can play with different values of the resistors and the inner resistance of each electromagnets, and even, you can play with one or two brushes defined as a second contact certain number of steps ahead of he first one.

Clearly Clemente Figuera was searching to create two DC signals which are unphased by 90º. The signals never reach zero voltage.

Hi everyone,
 
I have revised the traslation into english of the 1908 patent and I have included a new scanned drawing that I could get from the Spanish Patent Office Archive. This drawing has better quality than the one included in the previous version. Please note that in the original text there are some words which are underlined.
 
Regards

Tomorrow I will show a data which confirms that the Figuera generator was running as said. I have found a newspaper article from 1902 stating the story that happened to keep in silence this device.

Be tuned ...

In the Spanish National Library it can be found some references to Clemente Figuera in newspapers from those years. This is a report which appeared just few days after filing the 1902 patent. I think this could be the reason for keeping silence from 1902 to 1908 when Mr. Figuera filed his second patent about the generator just some days before his death. Just judge by yourself this information:

24th of September of 1902, “La Region Canaria”, Page 4
 
 The Invention of Mr. Figuera

 
 When rumors about the invention of our dear friend and wise engineer Mr. Clemente Figuera appeared, we were its convinced believers, because knowing Figuera´s character he had not claim for sure an statement of such importance publicly, unless he were mad, until not being fully convinced that he had made a discovery of those which performs a great revolution in the industrial world.
 
 We had faith in him from the very beginning, and this was increasing while the famous engineer was providing us, by means of his notable work, which was published in these columns, the theories of  the invention, keeping, as it is natural, the secret thereof. It is no longer possible for even the most skeptical, doubt the invention of Mr. Figuera, because he has just sold , we assume that for high sum of money, the Spanish patent which were obtained from our government when he arrived at Madrid. The company, which has bought it, will be well ascertained, before handing the stipulated capital between that company and the inventor, that the discovery does not leave any room for the slightest doubt. Here Mr. Figuera´s telegram which has produced so much satisfaction:
 
 Madrid 15-13 h.
 
 “I have just signed sale deed Spanish patent managing world bankers first union formation. Congratulations.” FIGUERA.


Many celebrate that a discovery of this nature have been done in the Canary Islands which should worry to large companies worldwide and even to governments themselves; We are very satisfied with the patriotism of Mr. Figuera for having obtained the patent for his invention in Spain, perhaps sacrificing his interests, because everyone knows how great discoveries are paid in other nations.

 Mr. Figuera receive our warmest congratulations that we extend to the distinguished family of the wise inventor. 
(Note: in other newspaper report is written that the sum of money for the patent was 30 million pesetas (around 230,000 USD as those of year 1902)

the two guys who were building them, whats the results?
Im not convinced so am interested in your observations.

No testing yet. I just finished putting together the seven sets of coils. See my progress of the INFINITE ENERGY TOWER here:

Hi all,
 
Here I attach a pdf file with Figuera´s patent from 1902 about the electrical generator “Generador Figuera-Blasberg”. This patent was filed by Figuera some days before the telegram where he stated that the patent was sold to a banker union with a sale deed. After filing this patent and signing the patent sale there was a big silence until 1908 when Mr. Figuera filed his final patent with a detailed description of his invention on the 31th of October of 1908. In November of 1908 Clemente Figuera died. I don´t know the cause of the death neither the exact date, just that it occurred in November for some mentions in the newspapers. I think for myself that maybe Figuera was very ill and he decided to file his last patent as a legacy before dying.  Clemente Figuera was born in 1845.
 
As you can see in the patent drawing there is no reference to the reddish ink mentioned in the text. Therefore, in the 1902 patent it was not included the position of the induced coil. This patent was not granted because it seems that, after filing it and after the patent sale deed, no one paid the annuity renewal, which confirms the intention of hiding the patent, as occurred in fact.

Its taking shape now :) Nice setup, I like it.
But what about those thick reinforcing aluminium? bars on the sides of cores?
Eddy currents inside those will be huge!
Unless they are there as phase shifters...

Keyho,
 
The permeability of aluminum is about the same as air. Because the aluminum is not in the path of the magnetic field, I see not reason for the magnetic field to leave the main core (high permeability) and travel through the aluminum (very low permeability). It could be very small interaction at the air gaps where fringing effects should occur. But, this is an issue that I will pay attention during experimentation.
 
Hanon,
 
Thank you for the superb work that you have done related to Mr. Figuera. It really gives a historical credibility to his work.
 
Thanks,
Bajac

You do not seem to understand how magnetic field operate.
It is about Electric vector A potential, a stress gradient. Aligned atoms inside the core make a strong density potential whereas free air outside is of lower flux density.
anything in the path between those two areas will be influenced by this gradient with the inverse square law when it comes to distance away from the core.
You will heat those bars due to eddy currents, even if you would isolate them from the cores with a dielectric (to exclude heat transfer from the cores).
