Now it has me thinking more.
The lever or cantileaver is used to multiply force sacrificing distance but what if your distance requirements are not so great. Like rowing a ship with many paddles and many people. Once the ship gets going momentum will take over to some degree.
 If the flux is movement rather then having one winding of many turns maybe many small seperate windings of nearly no turns or the least turns would reguire little power to a longer secondary or even a collection of the same. It would be interesting to know if it is a case of normally having a great deal of waste then trying to figure ways to resolve the waste outside the cause of the problem. That would certainly insure a great level of difficulty in getting unity over 1.
 Boy wouldnt that be a bitch,like looking for a better shock absorber to over come the ride from your square tire.

Thanks Iflew
But what I am looking for is to find a balance between the cap and inductor.  There is a so called full resonance, in which the balance is of equal energy between the cap and inductor. Sure there can be resonance between any combo, but when equaled, there is no comparison.  =]   

I have searched for this answer and have not found it yet.   Thanks for the site though, I liked the way it does the calc as in, it allows any parameter to be calculated easily.

Hi Mags,

Would really like to understand what you think of but no clue...  would you describe it in some more detail?  Never heard of 'full resonance' or of  'balance between the cap and inductor'...  Probably it is the words that block me (English is my second language) but if you could put it otherwise it may be of help to understand you.

Thanks, Gyula

Hey Gyula
I have read that any cap and coil can have resonant frequencies.  But, when the cap and inductor are of equal energy storing capabilities, the resonance is best.  Maybe I am not saying it right.  Im still searching for that statement.

Hey Doug

Im not sure the Hatem devices claims, if real, have anything to do with the cogging.  His mags are set up for a very tight gearing. And each wheel carries a lot of weight, including the mags.

But I do know from my experiments that all 3 of his cog wheels add up to 1 larger flywheel.
I sorta see the flywheel as an inductor, and an LC circuit as a pendulum, or just an off centered flywheel.  Like the inductor is, in theory, a perfect electronic flywheel, and a cap sets it off balance.  How much do we need to make the wheel(inductor) off balance to become the longest lasting electronic pendulum possible?



Im working on some things this afternoon. Will be back on later..

...

Yes, any cap or coil combination has got a resonant frequency somewhere, the Thomson formula give the frequency.
Or you mean a cap or coil has an equivalent circuit with a series inductance in case of a cap and a distributed parallel cap for a coil? Yes this is so and in both cases the loss resistances are also considered. This means that a cap has a series resonant frequency in itself, without adding any coil to it, and a coil has a parallel resonant frequency in itself, without adding any cap to it. Is this what you think of combining?

Considering the equal energy storing capability: if you mean the stored energies are equal in them, then you can equate the two formulas for the stored energy in case of an L and a C like this:
E=L*I^2/2   and E=C*V^2/2   so L*I^2/2=C*V^2/2  from this it comes that  L/C=V^2/I^2  so square root(L/C)=V/I and V/I=Z and this Z is either the capacitive or inductive reactance in Ohm at resonance.
Will further ponder on this, what advantage this might give if any...

Yes Gyula  Maybe it is that hey have the same resonance, but I remember the equal energy thing.
Like a huge coil and a tiny pico cap may not be as good as a larger cap, And the same vice versa, a huge cap and a tiny inductor.  where is the middle?   If we know the middle, we can scale our parts equally in either direction for what ever purpose..   Like a pendulum and flywheel,  the pen is just a coil with a cap.  The total weight of the offset flywheel is the inductor and the cap is how much offset there is. Think about the many combination's that would give different results?


Today I am messing with a larger wire/few turns coil. Just to see what I can see. 

I was checking out Core's project.  He says it gives him headaches pretty quick, and goes away as quick as they come when he shuts it off.   I would like to stay away from such projects. Hopefully this is not one of them.  =]

Hi Mags,

So you are thinking of the so called L/C ratio I guess. It means that the AC impedance of an LC parallel circuit at resonance can be much different in case you use a 10uH - 100pF combination (their resonant frequency is 5.03MHz) or you use for instance a 100uH - 10pF combination for the same 5.03MHz resonant frequency.
The impedance for parallel LC tanks comes from the reactance value of either the L or C (they are the same at resonance) multiplied by the coil's Q or quality factor. (Assuming the Q of the capacitor is much higher than that of the coil, normally this is valid in practice.)
So assuming a moderate Q of say 80 for a practical coil at 5MHz, the impedance, Z for such a 10uH coil + 100pF combination comes out as Z=Q*XL, XL=2PI*f*L=6.28*5*10=314 Ohm so Z=Q*314=80*314=25.12 kOhm. Now if you use the 100uH - 10pF combination and suppose you can make a 100uH coil for 5MHz with the same Q=80 value (still practical), then the impedance for this case comes out as XL=6.28*5*100=3140 Ohm, Z=Q*3140=80*3140=251.2 kOhm

So we have a resonant AC impedance of 251kOhm versus the 25.1kOm just by using a 100uH coil instead of the 10uH (assuming a Q of 80 for both, this is important when you compare) and using a 10pF cap instead of the 100pF capacitor value, respectively.

Now the question is how the stored energy varies in the different cases? The stored energy in a capacitor for instance depends on the second power of the voltage across it and linearly depends on its actual capacitance value: E=C*V2/2  This means if you decrease the cap value 10 times, from 100pF to 10pF, the stored energy gets 10 times less, assuming the voltage would remain the same,  however, for the capacitance case of 10pF the 251kOhm resultant AC impedance inherently involves higher resonant voltages too (still assuming the loaded Q is 80 of course) so the stored energy can easily turn to not a decrease but a gain. The resonant impedance increase is ten times (251kOhm/25kOhm) so the AC voltage across it can also be 10 times higher and the 10 times increase in voltage means a 100 times increase in the stored cap energy.

Considering this for the coil, the stored energy E=L*I2/2 and the ten times linear increase of L from 10uH to 100uH gives a 10 times increase in stored energy and the second power of the current may remain at the same value like in case of the 10uH if the loaded Q is kept at the same Q=80 value.

If these 'ramblings' are correct (I believe they are), then there seems to be no middle value for the L-C combinations you look for but an extreme limit of using the highest value coil with the smallest value cap if you are to maximize stored energy...  This may correspond to Tesla's coil where he did not use any parallel capacitance but the unavoidable self-capacitance and used thick wire for his coils to reduce losses to a minimum.

I have not mentioned yet that if you increase the coil's inductance from 10uH to 100uH and suppose you use a thicker wire for the 100uH coil to get the same DC copper resistance like the 10uH coil has, then the quality factor also increases 10 times because Q=XL/R where R is the losses that include the DC resistance, the main loss factor for an air core coil. The higher coil Q gives higher AC resonant impedance. So your larger wire tinkering is good direction.

If there is a correct equivalence comparison between a mechanical pendulum and an LC tank circuit, then the above reasonings somehow should reflect back on the pendulum, within reasonable mechanical limits of course.

I hope my 'ramblings' may help you in your progress.

to gyula: great nice facts

actually ..can be easily say: the energy in LC tank will be grater when you use bigger capacitance than inductance. in case 100uh 10pf will be energy smaler than in case 10uh 100pf.
But the tank will also need more energy to delivery (smaler resistance)

In reality, on the coil will be almost same voltage in both cases, but the current will be bigger in case of bigger capacitor.(that means also bigger power on coil)

When you use a thicker wire to coil, then the coil wil also have bigger capacitance because bigger surface of the wire, and Tesla uses a ground which add serious capacitance to the coil but do not decrease his Q.


But the ground ...is already charged, so when coil oscilate every time on the grounding point of the coil is positive is smal amout of charges indrawn to the coil, that create a magnetic field which will add to the magnetic field of the coil and when the magnetic field collapse.... charges up the capacitance to bigger value that before ...and bigger potential will indrawn more charges from earth, so in that case on secondary coil can be bigger movements of current (bigger power) as tesla stated in one of his patent. that of course will have bigger influence on the primary.
if you feed your tesla coil directly from semiconductors or some like that. you will see a serious rise in consumption form source in resonance point. Interesting is... that is not happening  when you use disruptive discharge thru spark gap metod :) because there is only final amount of energy which can be delivered.

Garry and IWD: Thanks for the kind words.

To IWD:

You wrote the energy in an LC tank is greater when using the lower value coil i.e. in my example the 10uH - 100pF values at 5.03MHz, compared to the 100uH - 10pF combination. And you added that for the 10uH - 100pF combination the tank needs a higher input energy to keep up oscillations because that combination has less resonant impedance than 100uH -10pF combination. 
Ok, I agree but this is just the opposite conclusion to what I wrote in my previous post...
However, now I think both of us are right LOL and the explanation for this virtual controversy is found here, see the very bottom text in this link:
http://www.play-hookey.com/ac_theory/ac_lc_parallel.html

"...if we use a large value of L and a small value of C, their reactances will be high and the amount of current circulating in the tank will be small. If we reverse that and use a low value of L and a high value of C, their reactances will be low and the amount of current circulating in the tank will be much greater. Many applications of this type of circuit depend on the amount of circulating current as well as the resonant frequency, so you need to be aware of this factor. In fact, in real-world circuits that cannot avoid having some resistance (especially in L), it is possible to have such a high circulating current that the energy lost in R (p = i²R) is sufficient to cause L to burn up!"

Now I wonder if Magluvin has received an answer for his question...  ;)

Good stuff guys.  Thanks for your work here.  It is all work when you think about it.  =]

Im tryin to bust a problem on my buddys laptop. Has an antivirus virus. lol   You know, the antivirus that yells and screams at you to purchase their product, that probably doesnt exisit. Every 20 seconds it interupts anything you do.
I should be done in a bit.

I cant wait to get back and absorb it all..  =]

Mags,

Here is link, maybe you have seen it,  deals with induction heating but basically a very good discussion on phase response and impedance mathing wrt series and parallel LC resonant circuits.
