SQM Replication Project Update 15-08-05.

Theory after two months of thought about past experiments.

What we know about the SQM Conditioning setup Mr Floyd Sweet had setup in the video with Mr Bearden.

There are two coils, one Resonant Coil inside the bigger Conditioning Coil, at the bottom. The Resonant coils height to the top is roughly ¼ the way up the Conditioning coil. The Resonant coil is driven by a 100 Watt Amplifier and a Wave Tek Oscillator is the input signal to the Amplifier. The approximate frequency the Oscillator inputs is around 11 Hz.

The Conditioning coil is driven by a capacitive discharge circuit. In this circuit there is a SCR, a Capacitor, with a rating of 1600uf and 250 Volts and there appears to be a small circuit with what appears to be some Capacitors and resistors in it. This Circuit appears to be driven by a Triac and can be adjusted up and down in voltage and possibly in frequency this is an assumption because there is a Light bulb attached to this circuit and it appears to flicker at different frequency while being adjusted by the Triac. The appearance of a frequency in the flashing of the bulb could be the capacitor charging and discharging with the power fluctuations when turned up and down by the Triac. For example: If the Triac was turned down the capacitor would take longer to charge and the discharge would be of a low value thus the light would dim. If the Triac was turned up full the Capacitor will charge much quicker and the discharge would be of a higher value and thus the light would be brighter.

The Power from the wall socket in the United States is 115 Volts and in the circuit there appears to be a Bridge Rectifier with at least one extra wire coming out than what normally would. So there is two wires going in as AC, two wires coming out as DC and an extra wire coming off one side of the AC plug. As far as I know Triacs are AC devices and don’t work on DC because of the Sine Wave signal where as DC is not a Sine Wave.

This would indicate there is AC Current in this circuit as well as DC.

Important: A SCR when turned on will latch on until the current is turned off or the Gating current is reversed. In past experiments I have used another coil to cut off the SCR when it is on by using the back EMF to switch off the SCR. This other coil was the secondary Resonant Coil which was on the outside of the Conditioning Coil.

We know two frequencies that Mr Sweet used, the Resonant frequency is around 11 Hz and the Frequency of 60 Hz is what we are trying to impress into the magnet. The mains frequency is between 50 and 60 Hz and if AC was used in the circuit it could be used to turn off the SCR and Switch the SCR also. This would require an extra coil on the Conditioning coil and the small circuit with capacitors and resistors in it.

Important: The Capacitor will discharge only 30 times a second if the mains power was at 60 Hz. The other half of this time the current to the capacitor would be off and the capacitors charge rate would be nearly 0.  This in itself would help turn off the SCR. A thirty Hz pulse at right angles to the magnet would create a sixty Hertz oscillation to the magnets field but keeping the oscillation steady and lasting would be tricky. With magnetics the major rules have a very strong relationship with a force at right angles or a field at right angles. Just check out the right hand rule. Click Here.

The circuit would bring two states to the magnet, the AC signal at right angles to the magnet would create an AC oscillating magnetic signal with some strength to the oscillation. At the bottom of the AC sine Wave the DC Capacitor would be discharged in alignment of the AC Wave and give a strong jolt to the magnet at right angles to the magnet. This would be 30 times a second so the capacitor must be Charged, and discharged enough so the AC Coil could turn off the SCR and that would be another reason why only 1600uf was used by Mr Sweet with a coil resistance of around 10 Ohms.

The trick, I believe, to making this work is with the magnets and a very fine line in the voltage discharged. The magnets MUST be Isotropic preferably Barium Ferrite. There would be a very fine line with the discharge, not enough voltage and you would see no results, too much voltage and you would make a permanent change to the magnetic field and damage the oscillation you are trying to put into the magnets. This could be fixed by just remagnetising the magnets again. Isotropic means that the magnet in this case can display properties in all directions, Anisotropic means the magnet can have properties in only one direction.

With this theory everything fits, Mr Rosenthal when he said the Zero Crossing is the trigger. Getting a 60 Hz oscillation and not having a complex switching circuit in the Video. Using a Triac as the switching for the SCR.

Remember, Mr Floyd Sweet did quote in his paper "Nothing is Something", "The fundamental magnets have been broken free of their binding forces which constrained them to be steady state single pole uniform magnetic flux devices."

My Magnets will be here soon and I am very excited to try this theory and think this is what I have been aiming for all along. The theory makes perfect sense and should work by all accounts. It is very exciting to have this so clear in my head and I am very confident this will work and we will finally have what we want. A source of clean cheap renewable Energy.
