Yes, resonant stages is the way to go. Utility companies occasionally burn up transformers from phenomenon called
ferroresonance. This is covered in Basic Oscillators by Gotlieb. Under certain circuit conditions, steel likes to
resonate at twice the input frequency, also it expands and contracts like a piezo. It also picks up harmonics of
the fundamental and that causes a power surge within a whole range of frequencies, not just one, that smokes
the transformers. Yes that's free energy, more than we put in. The gain from resonance isn't the same as stepping
up a transformer. With the latter there are trade-offs. Resonance is only virtual power but it can be made into real
power with cascade stages and secondaries, and yes the antennae is our source frequency from which we "suck"
all the power we need. There are radio experts who just can't grasp secondaries-parallel tanks in cascade. They think
in terms of filter networks which is all wrong in the wiring for our purposes. Start with high frequency in the antennae
and step it down in each stage. There is twice as much power in a 100Hz signal as a 50hz signal. Step it down and
extract the power.

I think all Henry Moray's rectifier/detector/"valve" did was keep the power flowing down the antennae in one direction, not
radiating it out during half a cycle. He used a "tribo-luminescent zinc" which could be simply zinc sulfide used to coat
cathode ray tubes. So break an old b/w TV or spent flourescent tube and harvest your powder. The detector probably
also helped establish the frequency, as the accrued input static from his wire antennae, rythmically jumped the phosphor.
Maybe there was an electronic cascade effect in the phosphor that increased the total electron flow and strength of the signal.
I use to think his cold electricity was from hole flow, but think I figured that out, is too easy.

Take a transformer. Observe the laminated steel plates. Now think, couldn't a transformer also be made of steel wire
coiled, with copper coils wrapped around the steel wire? Now your wire core transformer still works, just like a laminated plate
transformer, but here's the trick; the two ends of wire from the steel coil are left open! In fact they concentrate magnetic
energy racing up and down the wire in AC fashion at the same rate as your input into your copper coils! Now magnetism is cold... has
no temperature to speak of. Now here's a question worthy of experiment; what if we wrap another steel coil and connect the leads
from the first steel coil to the second. (remember, the first steel coil has copper coil primaries and secondaries.) Will the magnetic
field in the steel wire convey to the second coil? If yes, will field strength be lost or diminished in the first coil? If not, can we wrap
copper coils on the second steel coil and get twice or more bang for our buck? To answer that question, take two cylinder shaped
magnets N-S attracted and insert similar sized steel plugs between them. Now you have one longer magnet. In fact increase the
number of steel plugs until your magnet has reached the length of infinity. Has the field strength decreased as you increased the
magnet's effective size? Not Really! The number of field lines is the same, but you've increased the magnet's surface area/length and
can pick up a lot more stuff with the same field strength!

Point is it's possible we'll get not just the energy we put into the copper coils, but magnetic current from the steel coils
to boot. That magnetic current could act or behave like cold electricity. And because it's true oscillating magnetic current,
(just like occurs in laminated plates), it could be converted back to regular electricity again, to heat irons and such, but better
to use the magnetic current for light bulbs, computers and things you want to run cool.

Hi Elvis.

Hey man, it's fun to think one's way around the textbooks, what they never got around to describe or consider.
 

If I were doing the resonant cascade thing, I'd be sure that each stage was made of bigger and burlier wire,
just to be safe. On the other hand if one were using the magnetic current from the steel wire instead of
electron flow from the copper wire, there's little danger of burning anything up. I recall from reading his book,
Moray's device had multiple stages and one could get more power out of the device by tapping into previous
stages. In fact the only limit on power he was able to draw, was determined by the loads. Wouldn't it be neat
if resonance weren't even necessary? -- just cascaded stages of wire core transformers? We could theoretically
draw magnetic current flow from every steel wire stage! Sure, laminate it if you like. Might want to do that
anyway to keep it from rusting. Steels have different hysterisis properties. The same design selection factors
might apply.

Some of Faraday's and Henry's earliest experiments with inductors were constructed like this - with a donut shaped coil of copper stitched around by fine iron wire to make a torus.  There is nothing of any significance at the ends of the iron/steel wire, because the magnetic flux would rather leak between adjacent turns of the iron/steel than between the ends.

There are radio experts who just can't grasp secondaries-parallel tanks in cascade.

Yes, and they are unemployed because they can't make their transmitters work properly.

Both of you guys are right to a degree... and basically agree.   It's the language and the terms that get everyone miixed up.  Like the earlier post arguing about voltage vs power vs energy...   But with electronics, the basic theory is full of crazy shit that makes no sense.
i.e. - calling negative charge "negative" just because it was the accepted term at the time.
And - does current flow from - to + or reversed?  Depends on whether you use conventional flow or electron flow.  And actually there is a force coming from either both directions - or neither, if we believe Bearden.

A/C will have less total power than DC at a given voltage... cause DC is 0Hz A/C.  A DC generator is composed of multiple coils that each give a cycle of power - combining these pulses in series creates a constant flow.
It makes sense that higher frequency would have more power... but I will defer to someone with math skills, or until I can study at it myself.
The one thing I think is certain though, is that higher frequency translates into a faster change in voltage... and that means more current on your capacitor.  So higher frequency would seem a better choice on the surface.

However... IF there is an aether... and if it can be tapped by resonating at 12Hz...  then a higher frequency would just be a harmonic and would provide less voltage... right?  But.... by using the lower frequency we would get more of the signal... so this is still something that has to be considered.

About the steel wire... while it is true that magnetic fields prefer metal to the air...  but it is not going to flow out of the end of the steel and into the iron core.  But you would get some magnetic field into the core from the steel being around it.  But I would think it would just be a redistribution and not help.
But... the configuration is still a curiousiity.  Being would in a coil itself - without the additional iron core... would it's magnetic field become stronger?  Is there such a thing as magnetic induction??
I think it would be a good experiment.  Especially using some material in the core and around the coil that would shield magnetic fields.
Or at least a core of that material, and a secondary of just copper around the outside.

As far as the cause of transformers burning up... I'd say no one knows for sure.    Tesla said it was so... and Einstein said it could not be ruled out... and now quantum mechanics requires it.  Considering what the aether would do to the oil industry... no wonder people who ordinarily resist change were so quick to accept that aether was just a fairy tale.

I appreciate all the posts in this thread.  Sometimes I am glad to hear someone correct me.    But I will always reserve the right to be skeptical until I see it for myself.

I think it is time to experiment with tank circuits.  I'll have to order some materials to start.  I'll let you know what I see. 

Peace!!

Obviously there's something missing.  Unless you can explain how a 100 lb man can lift rocks weighing 20 tons overnight alone without equipment...  Wanna take a guess? 
And I guess Edison thought he had something right too?  Tesla and his damn wacky alternating current.

But seriously - what's your point and why are you here?

Meyl is smarter than Bearden that's for sure.  Eveyone knows that Germans are better engineers   - or at least the USA knows this... after WWII we split the engineers with the Russians.

For anyone reading - who can read German... I have many texts by Meyl - mostly in German.  I can attach them here.
