I've been relaxing a bit, rejuvenating my connection with spirit/home.
I just recently built a thermal mass heater, which is surprisingly effective and efficient.
What I am seeing with the thermal mass heater, is a correlation in my mind, with the flywheel amplifiers, that you brought up on the previous page bromikey.
At the moment, i think those flywheel devices require a strong impulse drive, to extract gain, which is mentioned by some working on those devices.
Whether an electromagnet is used to pulse a flywheel, or a loose belt, or a friction drive wheel, that gives it a kick intermittently, the key is a high magnitude torque impulse.
I think their is a solid state analogue for that flywheel gain mechanism.
My heater is not pulsed, though it does use high magnitude heating elements.
Each heating element uses low power, though has high potential, so it is similar to a high value impulse, for brief moments.
So it may take a little longer to heat up the 30 lbs. of thermal mass, which is a medium sized terracotta flower pot, filled with pea gravel.
The high magnitude heating elements are removed from 120 vac 30 watt solder pens and they are buried in the top of the pea gravel,
The thermal mass, just like the inertial mass, wants to keep moving in the direction it is kicked and I think if enough mass is charged up, at some point it will provide gain.
It will become like a freight train and it can maintain a certain load gain, based upon the impulse magnitude and if too much torque load is extracted, it will start to slow down.
Or if the air space load, the thermal mass heater is immersed in, is too large, then the thermal mass will move below its stable neutral point, based upon the impulse value, where it will move out of the window of gain.
Joe Newman's giant eureka machine, derived gain from the pulsed inertial mass, in addition to the large mass of copper, which allowed a high magnetic impulse, for a low power input.
Will be watching this site more often now.
