Is there any one out there that has a decent sized readable schematic of these designs or information on where I can find them? I'd like to try this thing out but have no real starting point.

Go to "Hendershot Replication", and look at the thread from the

Hendershot coil

Hi Gentlemen (and Ladies),

I found this thread tonight and was compelled to pass along some thoughts.
I haven't worked on the Hendershot stuff for a while, but lately the chatter on youtube has been picking up due to the HOAX that is being sold. For shame!!!

The investigation of this thing should continue, however, because I think this was a valid invention, with many witnesses to its operation, a paper trail, etc.

I do agree with the conclusions of others that it is very unlikely that Lester used radio active materials. I don't think Hubbard did either, but that is another story.

I was thinking along the lines of studying each component, and subsets of the schematic, and powering it with oscillators or other "chopper" circuits based on relays, etc.
My background is computer science, but electronics is a hobby. Many years back I earned a Technican Ham radio license, so I have a basic understanding of radio. My knowledge is a but rusty, however.

Here are some conclusions I have come to, which may or may not be correct, but I try.

1. The solenoid, bar, magnet thing are going to oscillate at mechanical speeds in the range of 20Hz upwards to 100Hz. Its very difficult to get something mechanical like this to oscillate faster. I did find, while messing around with a doorbell, that you can get one into a state were you just have high-speed arcing, and very little mechnical movement that you can see. Thus, a "tuned" circuit would need to be working in this low frequencies. If there are other harmonics involved, that would be over near the coil-tank circuit area.

2. I have found that with the clapper attached to the horseshoe magnet, the field BENDS outward to the LEFT and RIGHT of the magnet. The field presented toward the solenoid is WEAKENED, and thus the solenoid is able to wiggle it all the easier as it gets closer. Interesting that the LEFT and RIGHT fields can be made to intersect with the two coils, if you bring them within range. Mark Hendershot's picker and replication shows the coils way far away from the solenoid. I think this is WRONG and possibly disinfo. My feeling is that you want the magnet to provide a FREE established field that you can easily wiggle and generate power in the coils w/o inertia. I.e., don't spin the coil, like was done in the induction compass, wiggle a field near the coils instead.

3. L. Hendershot was trying to improve the so called induction compass. You can find many patents on the Induction Compass doing a goggle patent search. Keeping things simple-stupid, I had the idea that Hendershot may have realized that instead of spinning coils in the Earth's field to generate power (well known for the Induction Compass), he could instead wiggle a field near stationary coils and generate power. Relativity indeed.

4. Why did Hendershot go to the trouble of making these hand-wound capacitors. He opened up a good, expensive cap, dumped out its oil, and made this funky hand-wound thing. It was suppose to be 7.8nF (an unusual value not easily purchased off-the-shelf). Clearly he needed this value to "tune" for resonance. Further, he used clamps to pinch it for another way to "tune", since it would be unlikely to create exactly that value or have the coils be exactly the inductances he was shooting for. He needed a way to make adjustments.

5. The cylinder was originally a coffee can in his earlier design. That would be TIN and ferromagnetic. Some aluminums are ferrormagnetic. Some are not. One clue in the Aho picture are the letters "Fe" which might stand for Iron and imply "Ferromagnetic" cylinders. Add that into the coil and you completely change the inductance value (but only when currents are large enough). You further have the funky Histerisis, transformer considerations. The open cylinder, and its dimensions may be an Antenna, specifically for waves in the Mhz range. The Sun provides a large signal in the range of 4 to 6Mhz. This signal might "charge up" the capacitor as the tank circuit self-oscillates from the incoming signal. Circuits that tune for these frequencies can easily be made to self oscillate due to the energy at these frequencies. Tank circuits self-oscillate. Capacitors self charge. Was this exploited to provide some energy input?

6. There are various "metals" here. Do we have galvanic battery effects? Copper wires, Tin, Aluminum, capacitor foil, and possibly other wire types.

7. Did Hendershot Hoax this in any way? Hidden batteries? Doped capacitor (with "hot" material inside). Or did he push his device up against a lab wall and inductively couple with his house main (intentionally for the hoax or by accident thinking his device only worked in certain physical locations in the lab)? I have found that by having CFLs in my room, these are enough to excite coils in the room. Turn them all off, the coils go quite. Certainly test equipment such as oscilloscopes also provide INPUT into your coils under test.

8. A true test would bring the thing way out in a field away from all high tension wires, etc, and away from lab equipment. A faraday cage is also a good test since it might prove that there is some Hertzian wave dependency.

9. The clapper on the horseshoe magnet has a very interesting effect on nearby compasses. I can make a compass on the left or right of the magnet SPIN by pulsing the solenoid. Remove the clapper, and you can't make the compass spin. Hence, you can create a spinning field momentarily in this way. This is no unlike taking a DOOR and suddenly pulling it open quickly. There is a vortex WAKE on the edge of the door that can make lint and hair and other light weight material SPIN. Did Hendershot use the magnet-solenoid, therefore to SPIN fields directly into his two coils? This idea is worth investigating.

10. If you read up on Magnetic Amplifiers, you learn that these were all the RAVE during WWII. Designing them now is a lost art. Such circuits were hardened, had no stupid TUBES that kept burning out, and predated transistor designs. Someone of Hendershot's age could be very familiar with circuit design using coils and only coils.

11. Hendershot lived during a time where making your own radio was a right of passage (and economical). There were magazines and books he would have access to and it is clear to me that he was self taught and developed some very interesting techniques for how to wrap coils. Basketweave coils were state-of-the-art for him. Radio hobbies were trying out all sorts of coil designs and little antenna designs. Hendershots various coils look like they have the so called "tickler coil" that Armstrong used for his heterodyne radio circuit.

12. Don't be afraid to use modern circuit design techniques, SPICE, modeling, etc. Don't be afraid to use "other" parts, other frequencies, other approaches. If the principal Hendershot was exploiting is there, it should be doable many different ways. A Joule thief oscillator is a perfectly good "chopper" circuit for make-break. Using relays, solenoids, magnets, etc. is a bit old school.

13. We need a theory for where the power comes from. We cannot violate any laws of thermodynamics here. We cannot be receiving power from another dimension. It is either received power from the radio spectrum OR it is power from the Earth's magnetic dynamo and eddy currents OR it is galvanic, etc. We do know from the myth that it took a little time to "charge up", which would be the case with big capacitors. You can actually calculate the Joules (or voltage) in relative to time. If it took "minutes" for Hendershot to get it going, the power is flowing in at a modest rate. If you are greedy with your Load, you drain down the capacitors and the system stops -- or so would be the prediction. So the Load would need to be modest as well. One 60Watt bulb is NOT a modest load. However, we don't know the duty cycle the light was being pulsed at.... Not w/o a scope. The eye can't see rapid pulsing of an incandescent bulb.

14. Let us not confuse the Fuelless Generator with Hendershot's Fuelless Motor. The latter being first implemented in a little toy plane for his son. It is not clear if this thing used the same principals as the Fuelless Generator. Certainly Hendershot was inventive and he may have figured out various ways to do the "same" basic harnessing of this power.

Best way to communicate with me is via youtube -- user "morpher44".
I check that periodically.

English to Spanish Translator (I hope it does a good job):
Acerca de cristales piezoeléctricos, Hendershot pudo haber utilizado algún tipo de material de carbono en la cera entre sus bobinas y el cilindro. Hay cierta especulación en este sentido en el que he leído. Puede que no sea el efecto piezoeléctrico. Puede ser de efecto triboeléctrico. Más experimentos son necesarios.

Hendershot Parts

I'm about to begin my project to build the Hendershot Generator. I have a few simple questions for the forum.

#1 Do I need the Elko's TM-58 Pyramid capacitors to build the .0078 mfd capacitor from it's internal foils? If so what substitute materials can i use? Better still, where can I buy the capacitors for this part of my build?

#2 Where can i get the Vertically oscillating transformers from a vintage TV or can i use a modern equally rated transformer?

#3 What would be the best "trigger" to get the 60 hz oscillations in the metal bar at startup?

If there is any other info you can give to aid my search for the best materials please respond. Vincent

I am a newbie, not extremely well educated in the science field but I find this very interesting to read, as I too am interested in free energy, I live in Canada, Ontario. A whole group of people who are interested in science for the people is great and what the real challenge will be is when you figure this all out will your country allow you to market something, that will bring down all the energy monopolies that are already in place and will most likely loose billions of dollars for the sake of the people and the environment? More than likely this is why inventions like Mr. Hendershot's was never realized. I was shopping for an oven the other day since my broke down quite the hydro sucker, came across ovens where they have induction burners, I was told that it ran with magnetic fields and that if you don't have true iron pots and pans it will not work. I was mesmerized by this but have no idea if it works, they say its supposed to reduce the amount of energy and cook far quicker then previous burner versions. If anyone can explain this that would be great.

I did not see any references to this video in this tread (please forgive me if I missed it). While this is most likely not for real, I thought that perhaps it would be of interest to anyone wanting to replicate Hendershot Generator. It is a step by step build of a generator able to power more than a dozen light bulbs.

Hello everybody.

I've recently had so many real-life family and home related responsibilities that I just had to drop out. This is my first 2013 read and catch-up visit, and so yet again I'm trying to get the hang of this forum contribution window. Anyway, here goes - with the first of many posts to come.

Hi Morpher
From your February 2013 posts.

"""
So my thinking of late is that we need to just experiment
with the magnet-in-coil, and the honeycomb and see what
sort of energy input will stimulate that structure.
If the magnet-in-coil is the so called "tuner", I have to imagine
this is NOT radio we are tuning, but magnetic wave reception.

The Earth's field is 50uT or so, yes, but the oscillations occuring
are down in the nano-Tesla range. YET, there is a BIG effect
from the 50uT that should be considered. All the incoming energy
to the planet, be they electrons or protons, will SPIN due to this
50uT influence. The frequency of this spin, if electrons, works out
to be 1400Khz. You can pick up this signal on radio as NOISE.
But, you can also pick up this signal "magnetically" with a
loop-of-wire style antenna. The advantage to the "magnetic"
reception is that the signal is probably MORE current ... more gain.
So instead of a quarter-wave radio antenna == dipole ==
that is really long for 1400Khz, you need instead a loop of wire
that can be designed to pick it up. If that coil was an air coil,
the LOOP would still be HUGE. But, if you could CHEAT a bit
and receive that frequency from a "sympathetic" magnetic
object, then the "gain" might be there for a bit of power reception.

Let us suppose, therefore, that we want to tune our honeycomb
coil(s) for 1400Khz -- in terms of there self-resonance.
I don't have the formulas for this style coil. Some searching
around for that would be in order.
If it was a solenoid-style coil, with say 100pF of self-capacitance,
you would need a coil of about 129.24uH or so.
On a 3inch diameter structure, with say 1 inch width of winding area,
you would need ONLY 24 turns to get an inductance about that
big. For honeycomb, you would probably need MORE turns because
honeycomb does use MORE wire, zigging up, and then down again...
but you get the idea... about this much wire. Not much.
"""

I know that you are referring to the Mk1 design with activated field within the honeycombe type coil, so please forgive me by shifting my comments more towards the Mk3 electrical generator, for this has always seemed the better challenge for me.

The 'Q' of an air core coil is quite limited by the nature of the coil wire itself.

Yet even a crudely made Ferrite Sleeve Loop 'Q' can exceed 1,000 and the transduction induced mutual magnetic RF field surrounding one can be phenomenal.

July 2013 Rockwork 4 (Oregon Cliff) DU-DXpedition - YouTube

Note what Gary says here - it can peak a single channel.
Actually, my experience is that a ferrite sleeve construction can peak tune AM *voice frequencies only* on either sideband of a MW carrier, or just a single channel to beyond the 49 metre band.

Morpher, it is interesting you wrote about the electrons and 1400kHz, so it is a pity I was away and not even visiting this thread. However, whilst it fell upon me big-time to re-establish family foundations with building improvements etc., my thoughts always drifted towards the Mk3 Hendershot, plus Hubbard, Mace-Meyer, Paul Brown, Kapanadze, and more recently Wesley's Colman replication and Akula translations, for their devices all run in the same way, as likely did Tesla's 'box' powered Pierce Arrow car, and was similar with TH Moray's.

Three years back when bandscanning with an 8" FSL antenna I was unable to tune a known distant daytimer on 1390kHz. The signal meter was pinned for about 30kHz either side of 1390-1400kHz due to a reception blocking band of unmodulated and carrierless noise.

I thought WTF because I had never before witnessed such a positive demonstration of this effect, it being so powerful that had it been manmade there would have been an outcry by the authorities.

It was however, most abnormal, and such electron excitation levels could never be relied upon to initiate coil resonance, even though they can become so charged as to occasionally reach weather affecting levels, as indeed they have been recently.

Look at that FSL antenna and think about the Mk3 Hendershot coil, where his tin can or steel sleeve had also been of ferrous based material.
The alternating 'magnetic' field is within the matter of the sleeve, and capable of end-on and side-adjacent inductive coupling, but not within a core placed within that ferrite or thin steel sleeve core unless it too is co-incidentally tuned ! Hence Hendershot could put his field phasing transformers within his ferrous sleeves without interfering with device operation !

Back soon after I have read through everybody's more recent posts.

I have been studying Induction Compasses lately to see how much power is used and have found that all of them must boost the earth 50uT to get any useful signal out of them. For our understanding on Hendershots devices we don't have external power, tubes or transistors, no capacitors, etc. I believe we can agree that the process starts with the earths magnet field and goes from there. With the experiments on the honey comb coil and its micro-Tesla oscillations there must be a way to boost the signal using magnetic amplification. So your thoughts on the coil L8 and the internal coils L6 or L30 and the external coils L13 and L14 and L4, Collector/Antenna, hanging strip is the starting point to this device. We just need to get an understanding and then use modern parts and methods to make it work. But i f the old methods are better I am in favor of lost technology and methods.

Magnetic amplifiers have no moving parts and nothing to wear out, unlike our modern technology. I am a complete newbie to that forgotten amplification method. Whatever the combination of mutual inductance, resonance, etc. that is taking place must be experimented with.

IMHO: The magnetic strip that hangs down is like the horse shoe magnet and buzzer coils on the MKIII device. It is the only moving part (besides the motor) in the device it has a key roll to play!

The adventure continues.

Hi Mike.

Hmmm ! Now why on earth did this not come to mind for me ?

I was taught about and worked with magnetic amplifiers 45 years ago.
However that was a time when I was already well hands-on into transistor as well as tube circuits, so whilst I found their magnetic power amplifying capabilities to be most impressive, even way back then I judged them to be 'old hat'. Besides, they were extremely heavy and costly.
They were commonly operated from ships gun control rooms deep within warships in order to accurately aim the truly massive above-deck gun turrets.

Now I must get my thinking cap on in this regard, however, I am not aware of any way in which they could operate with over unity, or as a free standing generator in the same way that Hendershot did achieve and demonstrated with his very lightweight Mk3 using no more than everyday obtainable materials.

Spice won't work.
The energy generated by a Hendershot Mk3 comes from atomic nucleii within the construction, and is not a linear nor computable circuit function.

Ordinary dress maker's pins will do exactly the same.
The steel is indeed becoming polarised, thus indicating just like a miniature field plotting compass. Thanks for the video.

An essential comprehension of magnetism relates to having an understandable visualisation - whether this be within a permanent magnet or any paramagnetic material - and where magnetism relates to the alignment of electron orbit axes within molecular domains. See attachment.

Here is a video in return.

Wesley Gary Neutral Zone - Video Dailymotion

The rod is a standard AM radio ferrite rod, and this illustrates the Wesley Gary 'neutral zone' about which fractional magnet movement (vibration) can induce a sudden field reversal through a ferric bar/ rod. There is a Barkhausen avalanche of electron spin-axis orbit (magnetic) reversal within the molecular domains along the bar.

Of course our Morpher tried this before me - though in Hendershot's arrangements it is the reflected energy from phase changes within his circuit arrangements which maintain his magnetic buzzer oscillation and output.
