Thanks Garry, I have updated the file so the schematic is more accurate, Regards Arto.

Letters in the newspapers

Yes, exactly...

Hi all,

Here I have traslated some letters that Clemente Figuera sent in 1902 to the newspapers. You can follow cronologically the sequence of events prior to the filing of the 4 patents in September 1902. Before filing the patents there are some references in the newspaper (in april- may - june 1902) . Later he filed the patents in the 20th of september 1902, and, four days later he signed the sale of the patents to an international banker union. Later... all is silence ... until the 1908 patent few days before his death.

It is curious to note that Mr. Figuera said many times that the principle os his invention is very simple.

Thanks Hanon1492,

And...yes completely right, and excellent work you are doing here!

MR. Figuera states very often..."The honors that so many credit me with...I do NOT deserve them...as it is NOT MINE...this is based on older Concepts ..."

As we could read on his patents, he refers continuously to Faraday's Laws of Induction...

In my opinion...the "simplicity" of an Invention, as seen by its own inventor...must of times is "not that simple at all" as seen by the majority of people... The Inventor sees all the relations, confirms all "previous studies and calculations"... when finally "finds" the key for it to work perfect, after years of testing, research and development ...as also many frustrations...However, the inventor sees it very "simple"...as He finds the "Final Connections"...

In ALL His explanations, He states the VERY Basic Faraday's Principle that "RULES" Induction...He "dissect it" to "His Benefit" to see that it "really works" like was stated.

Faraday states that "A CONDUCTOR", and let's pause here, "a conductor" meaning a simple Copper Enameled Wire...Faraday NEVER Mentions/Cites that "Conductor MUST BE wrapped around a Massive Steel Core...

Later Figuera cites "Another fraction" of the Faraday's Law...that is "convenient" for Him to "stand/support" his particular findings...

"..A conductor passes through Magnetic Field Changes..."

As Conductor start leaving the magnetic field, it suffers "a change", as also when it "Enters" that magnetic field...

Figuera then "realizes" that using an AC Sine-wave or an "Intermittent/Pulsed Signal" on a coil feed, will "simulate" that effect of entering/leaving (when sine goes at high peak=approach/ and when sine starts looping down=conductor leaving field...

He then uses Resistors to "simulate" a smooth "leave" or an "approach" without moving absolutely "nada" (nothing)...all has been "simulated", however, based on "REAL FACTS" about Faraday's Laws...

He, then concludes..."It so simple...to the point I ask myself...why?...someone before Me, never came up with this invention/method?...

Like I wrote above...Once it works...it seems "very simple"...

Thanks Ufo for your inspiring and encouraging posts. For you and for other people who may read spanish texts there is a new pdf document in the webpage where you can find many more newspapers clippings about Clemente Figuera. I have just translated some of them, but spanish readers will enjoy for sure reading all those documents. --> search for Newspaper report II at the bottom side of the page.

Saw Tooth Wave...

Hello to All,

On this Diagram below:

[IMG][/IMG]

We have a copper conductor (seen from top), passing through a Static Magnetic Field Lines created by N-S Poles.

I have broken it into Five Simple Steps...

Now, the "Strongest" Induction stage would be between 2 to 4, while "Prior" and "Post" Magnetic Field...would be represented by a "smooth line" dropping or ascending.

I, particularly, after conducting this brief study...came to the conclusion that a "Saw Tooth Wave" would be the more suitable to represent this stages that Copper Conductor passes by when getting induced by magnetic fields.

I chose it above an AC Sine Wave...or a Steep Square Wave...Why?

[IMG][/IMG]

Well, an AC Sine Wave (Green) would never have a straight horizontal and steady Induction Period (2-4) like in reality occurs...

And a Steep Square Wave (Blue) , even though, it does have a Flat, straight/horizontal Period...the Pre and Post Stages would be VERY ABRUPT (Steep) to ZERO...which does NOT occur like that either...in reality.

We all know Magnetic Field Flux Lines "expands/fades" away "smoothly" from the physical bodies of the Magnets/Electromagnets, as they become weaker as further away from their center originating cores...

My Conclusion:

If I were to "simulate" electronically, the "Changing Magnetic Fields"...I would rather use a Saw Tooth Wave Design, to "Excite" those Coils...as Conductors and Stators would be "Physically Static"...

Seeing A Magnetic Field...



Hello Hanon1492,

Yes, this is the "common" doubt that have not allow Us to "see" what Figuera, Tesla and many more did see...

The problem lies in a very simple issue...You are NOT "interpreting" all this from the Magnetic Field "side"...

And you MUST, "See in the Unseen

[john_g]

The way I'm seeing this device is that we are trying to move the lines of force to create the induction and maybe keep the magnetic circuits interacting but not joined:

Commonsense.

Hello, UFO, John_g, and Hannon, you guys will have the static device nutted in no time, the way you are going.

I am only a learner with electronics, with no formal training, but i see some real life, commonsense, taking place here.

Thanks to you all, Warm Regards Cornboy.

Hi John_g,

You proposal make senses. You idea is very smart. I have seen a similar approach into this patent US7830065

Hello Hanon1492

Hi John_g,

Hello Hanon1492,

Well the drawings are correct as now I can see what you meant before...

And yes it is correct, if either conductor or Field moves PARALLEL to each others, meaning angle=0, yes, absolutely, there would be NO Induction. Your Pic 3 shows it clearly, conductor is moving ALONG/PARALLEL to the Field Lines...No Induction.

The Main Concept recites...Conductor (Understanding also "Conductor Traveling Path") MUST CUT the Magnetic Field Lines Perpendicularly...and the best way to portrait this is by 3D Geometrical Planes...and volumes...

[IMG][/IMG]

Hanon, the Area is given by the "HIGHER DENSITY AREA" of the FIELD, AND INTERSECTION of Conductors or Coils through IT. In the Diagram above I used the WHITE RECTANGLE as the AREA where "DENSITY" of the Magnetic Field is STRONGER for the Conductor Traveling Path.

Speaking In Geometry...

The Middle CUBE between the Two Magnetic Poles Rectangles, represents the HIGHER DENSITY SECTION of those Two Magnetic Poles Fields, now picture the Conductor PATH leaves a "TRACE/GHOSTING IMAGE"...Creating a Plane (Light Brown Plane)...Now, when that plane CUTS right at the Center of Middle Cube, it creates a COMMON AREA, shown by that White Rectangle WITHIN Conductor Traveling Plane.

Above Diagram in 2D, is the same as the one I showed on my previous post, except that conductor movement/Time are opposite here (from Right to Left)...However, I show "Reference Lines" (intermittent lines) matching Conductor Stages...1,2,3,4 and 5 from 3D to 2D Diagrams.


Hope it helps You to see it better.


Warm Regards

Hi Hannon

Thanks for your comments. I have seen the patent you referred to - same sort of idea, and of note that his units can be stacked. I just wonder if the permanent magnets he used also has an iron circuit with them? although not shown. I'm ordering some cut mild steel today, so hopefully in a few days will have some results, I do think its key to keep the circuits separated although interacting.


The fundamental discovery of Faraday may be summed up in the following words :



Lets hold the faith!

[hanon1492]

Faraday-or-Maxwell by Meyl (read page 5 and next of the file). Meyl proposes a theory to take into account the longitudinal waves which were predicted by Tesla in his wireless power transmission system.



An interesting point which Eric Dollard comments in an old presentation (Youtube video) is that in the secondary of transformers the induced current is produced in the wiring WITHOUT being cut by the magnetic field. Most of the magnetism is supposed to be enclosed into the iron magnetic circuit and therefore no magnetism should cut the secondary winding, which is external to the iron and only encircles the iron. Can anyone explain it to me???
