Read about EFNMR frequencies here

EFNMR on Wikipedia

Depending upon your location, you will need anywhere from 1.3khz upwards to 2.5khz to see EFNMR "echo" returns.

The Earth's field varies all around the planet.

Earth's Magnetic Field and FID...

Today I did a very simple experiment.
Materials and Equipment needed:

* Pulse Generator (0 to 10khz -or higher)
* Oscilloscope (10Mhz or better)
* Horseshoe magnet (strong ... perhaps 3 inch or so)
* Horseshoe solenoid (each coil giving opposite pole when energized)
* Longish keeper -- one that extends well beyond the magnet width
* Pick up "air" coil -- to fit nearby the longish keeper.

Place the horseshoe magnet oriented such that its back is facing north, and its left pole is north, right pole south as you face north as well.
Place the keeper across the magnet, having the left side extend leftward, and the right side right up against the south pole.
Place the horseshoe solenoid against the keeper as well.
Place the pick up coil along the axis of the keeper.
Connect the scope to the pick up coil.
Connect the pulse generator to the solenoid.

On the scope, dial in 50usec/div and the lowest AC voltage setting.
On the pulse generator, pick and amplitude mid-way and select
a frequency approx. 2Khz. Also, if your pulse generator can
do square waves, select that -- NOT sine waves or saw-tooth.

If things are working correctly, the pickup coil should be showing you
nice 2khz spikes on your scope, one going upwards (positive) and
the second one going sort of mostly downwards (negative), with
a nice associated damped oscillation afterwards. This is all normal stuff.

Now for the fun part.
Take your frequency generator and slowly dial upwards higher than 2khz,
and then also lower below 2khz.

You should observe an "echo" pulse that is NOT the same amplitude as your solenoids pulse. In fact, you can increase and decrease the amplitude of your solenoid pulse, and you will see that this does not affect the amplitude of the "echo" pulses.
Further, as you carefully increase or decrease the solenoid frequency, you should observe that these "echo" pulses will speed up scrolling BETWEEN your pulses faster and faster, or slower and slower. You can attempt to exactly match to get the "echo" pulses exactly between your pulses.
You can effect, therefore, the duty-cycle of these "echo" pulses by dialing in MORE of them between your pulses ... or LESS Of them ... down to LESS then ONE for every one of your pulses. It is "beating" in other words.

Now can this "echo" pulse be exploited for power generation?

If you selected a "beat" that gave you say 3 pulses for every 1 of your pulses ... and if you were to also use less power to get the return, utilizing the MAGNET's field, the "echo" amplitude being more than one you put in,
the pick up coils "tuned" for this 4x * 2khz frequency range will see a nice DUTY cycle that is more than what you are doing with your 2khz pulses.

If you orient the horseshoe magnet such that its back is facing WEST, and everything else turned as well, you still see the "echo" pulses, but they are lower frequency and you cannot get more of them between your pulses.

I found a paper titled "Nuclear Spins in the Earth's Magnetic Field" by P.T. Callaghan and M. Le Gros, which explains this better than I can.

modern day "electric" flight - NY to Paris

Here is someone trying to repeat Lindbergh's success using "electricity". The proposal is SAD. We should be able to do better than this by now....
Instead of batteries, should we just BEAM the electricity to the craft ala Tesla... or have a Hendershot-like motor...

fuel?

"I didn't really get what you might call downright sleepy," he said, " but I think I sort of nodded several times. In fact, I could have flown half that distance again. I had enough fuel left to 1,000 miles, I think -* certainly 500 although I had not time to examine my fuel tanks, the crowds were so terrific." - Charles Lindbergh

Could have gone 500 Miles Farther

Bogus Story

Is it true that on the airplane of St Louis that crossed atlantic ocean in the past was with a hendershot engine?
Any updated schematic?
Thanks

No. The story being floated to sell the plans for the Hendershot Fuelless Generator is completely Bogus.
Lester Hendershot was NOT a secret inventor working on airplane motors for Charles Lindbergh and his motor most certainly was not USED in the famous flight. I was curious about this just last night and looked up how much GAS Lindbergh had in his plane.
Wikipedia says 450 U.S. gallons, 2,710 lbs, were what he started with.
He wouldn't go empty on his flight to Paris unless he got worse than 8 MPG. It is very believable that he used gas the entire flight.

Lindbergh was one of the famous people to come see Hendershot's fuelless motor. That part is true and can easily be verified via news paper articles. If Hendershot had something interesting, the Army would have been interested and would have created a cover story to prove the invention was a hoax, so as to keep it from other nations and the general public. Certainly powering military devices and vehicles in this new way would have been of great interest -- and physicists and experts would have been "tapped" to investigate his phenomenon. If there were any difficult problems such as stability, or Gigahertz radiation, or an inability to get politicians to commit resources, I could see this invention going black for many years -- at it has appeared to do.

Although its a nice fantasy to think of Lester Hendershot as some sort of Q for the Bond-like Lindbergh, I'm afraid this is all made up to "sell" the "un-helpful" plans.

For the fuelless generator (American Gauges):
L1 - AWG 28, diameter 0.0136"
L2 - AWG 24 - enamelled Formvar copper wire, diameter .0213"
L3 & L4 - AWG 20 - thermoplastic single copper core wire, diameter 0.0334"
{can use different color plastic to tell the coils apart}

It is not clear whether these gauges matter or not or whether 57 dowels matter. I have a video that shows some math on why 57 dowels might have been selected and it has to do with the "ideal" wire crossing angel.

A radio engineer might want thicker dowels and closer dowels so that the wire crossing angle approaches 90 degrees. This is ideal if you want the "self-capacitance" in the coil to be minimized. Tesla's bifilar spiral coil solves the capacitance problem a different way.
This wire-crossing angel will affect the self-inductance of the coil, but possible may also affect its magnetic properties.
The ideal coil has a very high self inductance because you want its inductive response curve to be linear over a large range of frequencies.

I played around with the math and found a "possible" formula for how Hendershot derived 57 dowels. If this is correct, and if you change wire-gauge or diameter, this formula would allow you to calculate the correct number of dowels (given also the dowel diameter):

Hey the L1 - AWG 28, diameter 0.0136" wire is it Enamelled Copper Wire ?

I have found an Ebay store that sell wire
