13-03-05 Update on experiments.

 

The magnetic field strength is just not enough to bring the magnets into resonance while the magnets are on top of the Conditioning coil. I started work on the 60 Hz oscillations in the Conditioning coil again and at certain power levels the circuit stops and the transistors fuse. In After fusing several tens of transistors I sat back and thought about the approach I was taking. May be instead of trying to trigger the Conditioning coil via an Audio Oscillator, it would be better to use the Coil and SCR in an oscillating circuit of their own (SCR Oscillator). This circuit would also solve the problem of the Resonant coils field strength not being sufficient to bring the magnets into resonance at the top of the Conditioning coil because the starting voltage and frequency of the Conditioning coil would be the same as the Resonant coil, exactly like the video. For example the input Voltage of say 40 Volts to the Conditioning coil would give this circuit a frequency of around the 8.5 Hz of the resonating Magnet. Sitting back now this approach seems so simple. The field strength of the Resonant coil is still in question while the magnets are inside the Conditioning coil. Will the field strength be sufficient to open the molecular structure of atoms inside the domains themselves. Progress has been made. I got some Alloy tube this week to replace the PVC holder for the magnets. They measure 100mm x 150mm x 50mm and fit exactly to the magnets. I will put some pictures up tomorrow. With the information I have learned after these experiments I expect to have a full video demonstration of the first attempt at conditioning the magnets in two weeks time. This is as long as everything goes well and I don't blowup anymore hardware. I have received a lot of very good feed back. Suggestions like the Alloy tube that may have eddy current effects, to Coil structure and Circuit information. Thanks to everyone that is so extremely interested in this project.

Here is the new Bench with all the hardware for the experiments to date. You can see the Instek Oscillator next to the Troneer Oscillator. The big SCR or fast switching Thrisistor and Variac in front of the Oscilloscope. I have modified the Conditioning coil to have a band each end of the coil to hold the coils in tight and not let them move with the oscillations. I am in the process of making more modifications to the Conditioning coil to bring the resistance up to 10.4166 Ohms in line with the new circuit I am trying this weekend. The RC time constant T = R x C. T = 60 Hz the resistance of the coil is 10 Ohms and the capacitance will be 1500uf.

 

This is the circuit that keeps fusing the transistors.

 

Here you can see the new Alloy tube to hold the magnets in place when the SQM is ready for testing.

 

This is really cool. Magnaview. This material is a thin sheet of plastic film that shows the magnetic field of the magnet. These Pictures are of virgin magnets that have had no attempt to change their properties. I am hoping the Magnaview will provide some evidence of change in the magnets when the conditioning of the magnets is achieved.

 

With some organisation, these experiments are now starting to get a professional look to them.
