My feeling on where the magnetic field of the Earth comes from is that the core of the Earth is not solid or liquid but is a piece of ejected solar plasmasphere spinning round and round.   The entire core is spinning and the electrons move as they would in a coil.  This causes magnetic field effects.  The big magnetosphere.  This plasma current is not uniform by any stretch of the imagination.  It appears to have taken on many states of angular momentum and polarity over the ages.  This may be due to solar activity where the solar magnetic field changes intensity and polarity.  The plasmasphere currents on the Sun create many magnetic poles.  Some people belive that they have found various rhythmic field strength changes but 8 or 20 minute cycles in the order of microteslas isnt very much power.

Dang, Looks like I missed a lot, I got entranced by my experiments, I've made significant headway towards understanding what I'm doing. I found I had a bad diode which was causing bad wave forms and bad performance.

Tinsel, Your point (6) about resonance in a pulse motor, I think there is already people claiming resonant pulse motors but I'm not sure what is the actual claims. Some say resonance is just the return of energy that builds system potential or energy some say otherwise. I want it all, I want sine waves from pulses and energy returned when the frequency means no sine waves. In other words the harmonics should not interfere, they are processed in a way. It is difficult to get the visual out of my head for people to grasp I guess, I think you get it though.

I now have a nice "h" wave with a flat top without a charge battery and efficient high speed running with no load and no charge battery but using a charge battery is still a bit better and the reason is that the battery makes the currents look smoother, the return set up makes waves, but it just a matter of tuning the circuit. If the capacitor is small the voltage on the drain at the discharge portion of the "H" wave is high and short so the current is more intense but shorter (kinda like when a charge battery is used), and like with a battery, when really feeding in the power fast I get a steep climb in voltage on the drain which fires the neons and noise upsets the picaxe which shuts down the boost converter (I think) and that drops the input.
If I feed power in slower and speed the rotor up slower I get the fastest speeds with a charge battery followed closely by my return setup, but if I snub the fly back to the supply or around the coil it just will not accelerate.

I get the best result as far as loading goes when I use a larger return capacitance so that the drain voltage stays lower, however I intend to replace the NE2 neons with 220 volt gas discharge tubes from the drain to ground for now but I think that is a bad idea I think a safety valve from the drain back to the supply might be better, I think in my setup the circuit noise is causing me problems when it becomes too much so I need to keep it in mind.

I think for pulse motors they can be kinda like a self triggered (pseudo synchronous motor) because when I switch in the extra charging capacitance that the charging coils empty into the frequency and speed of the motor slow quickly as a result of the braking effect from the change in phase of the charging coil current. Kind of synchronous to it's circuit frequency.

I'll get a shot of one of my (h) waves. in a minute. I'll need to make another post to reply more anyway.

The way I see it even an ordinary pulse motor of any kind if the pulses make sine waves then I see no reason why it cant be smooth quiet and powerful. Now when I get to high speed the most noise comes from the windage on the rotor, it's full of holes, can hardly hear the pulsing, still not properly balanced though. I'm going to take most of the current video clips down because they are now obselete. I can easily out perform the 18 Watt fan that beat me last time. And considering my motor is much bigger it should beat it for efficiency with the same load. The main thing is I need the computer control, once I get command of all variables I think I can make it work well.

Head down making progress. I'll get the shot. First thing.

Oh I was also only running on three bangs a revolution too, my sensor was ignoring one reflector strip because it was too small. 

Cheers

These wave forms show why I chose to use a resonant charging circuit and how I made the inductive energy return to try to match the effects of a charge battery.

It's quiet because the powerful rectangle pulses are just adding to a sine wave, the sine wave is driving the rotor. 

New clip of quiet running unloaded. (except for the wind noise sorry bout that).

Hi Farmhand,

Thanks for returning to the series or parallel cap topic at the Tesla primary coil,  (it has been okay with me) the fireing spark gap put the capacitor in parallel with the primary and the cap was discharged by the primary in that moment. What you show now in the drawing I understand too.
It is interesting you mention Avramenko plug as half of a FWBR and indeed the two diodes' half  seem to copy two 'plugs' but remember an Avramenko plug is driven by a single wire while the FWBR (or half of it) is driven by two wires,  so this difference must have a different loading effect on the source.

Gyula

  I always thought that in a Tesla transformer oscillations in the primary are maintained by the power supply and coupled to the secondary through the capacitance of the gap.  As  the oscillations are damped in the secondary the energy stored in the primary is passed into the secondary via ac coupling of the two tanks through the capacitor the gap represents. This makes the whole transformer self-regulating and increases voltage to be distributed to loads far more efficiently than the pole pigs westinghouse was selling and continues to sell to this day.

Please show me where did Tesla write his coil construction (defined in his patent) is to be charged first with high voltage and then use it with a lower voltage?

Did you check whether the nail manifested a remanent magnetism after your 12V charge up treatment? (I am not saying your nail manifested remanence magnetism, just a possibility for explaining your test result.)

When I did my own tests first with paper clips I noticed that due to the inherently very small touching surfaces of the clips the tests were not fully convincing for me, even though the difference in the number of lifted clips was evident,  and when I repeated the tests  I decided to change the clips to small sized nuts: http://www.overunity.com/11350/confirming-the-delayed-lenz-effect/msg357952/#msg357952 
So the small nuts have made the tests more convincing for me and more repeatable.  I suggest you also use small nuts or just cut up your "trombone" clips to many small (say 3 or 4 millimeter long) pieces and do the tests again. 

Here is your post from last night and I highlighted some words in your text I wish to answer:

Well,  see the first picture Magluvin uploaded in his post here:
http://www.overunity.com/13460/teslas-coil-for-electro-magnets/msg359705/#msg359705
He has wound nice coils, precise and tight, no lash winding on his nails, right?  And he did find equal performance for the single and the bifilar (SBC) coils just like I did with my 'lash' winding.  So we got the test results independently from whether the windings were precise or lash, right?

I restored my laptop and plan to video tape and upload the experiment for you to let you decide what to make of it. The SBC stores it's pico farad capacitance in kilovolts and nano amps. A 100 turn SBC has 250,000 times the voltage potential between the wraps as a single wire coil. How do you imagine this power gets into the coil if it's not sent there? The high voltage spike from the magnetic field collapse charges the SBC to full potential. This happens automatically when the coil's pulsed, but you need at least one strong field collapse to generate the high voltage that's stored in the bifilar windings. The collapse dosen't effect the single wire coil because it lacks the storage potential. This high voltage storage capacitance eliminates reactance to current direction change in the coil windings, and generates double the field strength from the resulting Lorentz force. I got the experiment to work. You're asking me why yours caused trouble. Please put your thinking cap on!
 
Electrons are attracted to one another as they pass head on. There's no influence between them on the perpendicular. The head on electrons turn when there's no reactance to direction change from the high bifilar windings potential. Imagine two electrons orbiting each other. What happens? Think about it!

Hi Gyula, I get you on the AV plug I think.  So if I may could I ask a couple of questions please. Would it be true to say that with the plug and capacitor there is a second instance of displacement current ? The first instance between the capacitor plates and the second instance in series with that capacitor's plates and whatever it can go to, maybe a tin plate or the bench or the ground/air ect. ? And if yes that the quality and value of the second capacitive coupling will give the AV plug it performance in a specific situation ? The plug uses the second displacement current path for the return ?

I think that would be the principal of the receiving of the wireless power transmission of Tesla's last patent. The displacement current path might be possible from the top of the tower's air capacitance to the Earth and the sending Plant's transformer is connected to both as well. There is just no diodes, resonant coils do it all.

Cheers

Farmhand:

For the AV plug you are correct.  The key factors are the frequency of the AC signal in the single wire, the amplitude, and how much capacitive coupling the power source has to ground and the charging capacitor has to ground.  For every rising edge of the AC source, a tiny "puff" of charge passes through the forward diode to charge the cap.  For every falling edge, a tiny puff of charge flows through the reverse diode and that also charges the cap.  The tiny puff of moving charge though the diode is the displacement current.  It's the same current that is capacitively coupled to ground at both the source and destination ends of the current flow.  It's a two-wire charging system that only has one physical wire.

Sometimes you can have a an audible high-frequency oscillator on your bench and by bringing your hand near to it you can make the pitch change. Same idea, the capacitive effect of your hand in proximity to the oscillator will cause very faint displacement currents and affect the oscillator.

The higher the frequency and the higher the amplitude of the signal the larger and more frequent the puffs are and the faster the capacitor charges.  The stray coupling capacitance to ground will act like any capacitor and conduct AC more readily the higher the frequency.

I can suggest a good test for you.  If you have a compass and arrange your setup so the regular coil and SBC will try to deviate the compass from magnetic North you can then measure the relative strength of the fields from the two types of coils at different compass positions.  Say the compass is a foot away from the regular coil and when you energize the coil it deflects 30 degrees.  Now try the same thing with the SBC and see if the compass also deflects by 30 degrees.  This test will be much more accurate than picking up paperclips.

I will remind you that you need to know the current through the coils.  So you measure the DC resistance of the coil and then measure the voltage across the coil when you connect the battery.  You might not know if the battery is freshly charged or nearly discharged.  That will affect the battery voltage under load so you must read the voltage and then calculate the current.  Alternatively you can use your multimeter to measure current.  One way or the other, assuming that you are comparing two coils with the same number of turns and the same core material, you have to measure both setups and be sure the current through both types of coils will be the same when you do the tests.  You should present that data as part of your test results to your audience.

Looking forward to seeing your clip.  We can see if there is any evidence of very high voltage.
