exactly BEP,

I just can't believe we get suckered into these old patents.  I mean if the thing was some sort of a promising technology it would have been all over the place by now, and it's not, why? because there are better things to store energy into than this thing.  Only nowadays do they research new materials and try to improve on these old ideas.

EM

@Guys

Geez I was just talking about this thread to someone else a few days ago and bingo, some are back here, I guess for the final round of Truth or Consequences.

I think EM is right that this device is a capacitor and may be used in conjunction with other components in a completed system. Maybe a cap for a dc motor, maybe to better catch flyback (notice I did not say BEMF - lol - shoot I just said it).

But the clincher question still remains "how the hell did Brnbrade light up those lights".

I still have my three builds;

1) Bailing wire core
2) Solid iron rod core
3) Solid iron rod core with aluminum varnish encapsulation

Of all three, the first worked the best.

Hey maybe I can use one of these once I make @HG's swing generator.

Yes, you can say this is a PERPETUAL MOTION HOLDER.  

Magnetic fields generated by magnetisation of mater, makes use of the atomic spin or rotation  (perpetual motion on the atomic level)

Under the influence of an external magnetic field,  these tiny magnetic "moments", or little magnets,  align themselves with the external field, and the net macroscopic effect is an observed magnetic field that is even stronger.   (the atoms are always magnetic but the net effect can be zero when the external field is removed due to random orientation of the tiny magnetic moments)

So what keeps the magnetization "alive"   ?

I can see you guys are wondering, but it's realy simple.    If you build up a magnetic field in an inductor, and then short the inductor leads, it will continue to persist.   This is because as the magnetization tries to decrease the coil reacts by Lenz's law to drive a current that opposes the change.   Hence the magnetization is preserved by the current that flows in the coil.

To make such a system as efficient as possible so it can last a long time, it is necessary to use a coil with very little resistance so it does not rapidly discharge the inductor.  So that's why it is better to use two coils, a multi turn one for the high voltage that might be required, and a small turn coil that will keep the magnetisation alive by flowing a rather higher current.

Here's a drawing I did to illustrate the basic operation of an inductor storage system.   Can you identify a practical problem with it?    I can see one already 

EM

@allcanadian, there are multiple current in his invention absolutely.

I just made a post in tesla technology/patent 512340 that seems very relevant to this, that is how the device could maintain operation and produce excess energy in the right context if multiple coils were used. Just a thought

Are you thinking of Matthew Emery?

I have the impression you are thinking more in terms of what old power plant folk (meaning me) call circulating currents. They were a bugger in multi-generator systems but used no noticable energy from the generator. (Not to be confused with cross-currents for those thinking they are power plant folk

I think the trick is to not allow the flux to fall at all. Supposedly this is expected to be possible in parallel resonant circuits but the conductors would have to be superconductors or, at least, zero ohms. All impedance would be approaching infinity.
But then I'm talking about voltage varying over time.

Are these coils types related to the Steven Mark's TPU?..They all seem to use many coils and are trying to capture FE from somewhere.

I have 2 (or 3) suggestions for anyone trying this.

Run an electric motor or a buzzer near it. (DC or universal would do fine, powered by battery possibly or by the output, although if so consider using caps to isolate it)

Second, put 2 batteries in reverse connection on the secondary so that each are making the coil positive.

Oh, and it never hurts to use a few paralleled incandescent bulbs in the secondarty circuit as they will help pull in EM.
