    Moving Along

    Here is the BiToroidal transformer on 60hz scope shot.

    Voltage and current lead, lag, this is with no caps for tuning, just the windings. The top wave it current leading by 70-75 degrees.

    This is very efficient, I must say.

    I used a 50 watt 1 ohm resistor.

    Also I hooked up my scope tonight to a 650 watt UPS box to a charging 350ah battery set.

    After the scope warms up good i lose my ocean waves.

    I am Back

    Hello Group members

    I re-soldered fuses back into my new meters and am getting readings again in the 50- 100ma range. Mainly I am trying to stay at this so I can find my way around. Having made so many mistakes I know the exercise daily is needed.


    I also noticed that my screen on the scope looks like an ocean wave. Couldn't figure it til I unplugged my Variac. Also the line AC goes to the variac and on the scope the wave looks more pointed while the second wave on the back end looks like a perfect sine wave. 60Hz With no probe hooked I turn on the variac and the scope start a sort of ocean wave effect over the entire area of the screen. Then dial the variac down to zero and it stops.

    I have two waves right now on my scope 180 degrees out. The primary wave and the secondaries wave seem to be opposite.

    Still learning and getting familiar with everything. I am going to isolate better next.

    Tonight I found my mistake. I have removed all of my data figures input output as the meter was hooked up wrong sorry everyone I really goofed it up this time. I had the amp meter reading the large cap and not the input fully. I found it when i did some scope shots tonight and blew the fuses on my cheapy meters.

    When I went back to check everything again I saw my blunder.

    I am way under unity dudes way under. Still I will keep trying because I figured that was to easy anyway.

    Again I want to apologize for getting peoples hopes up like Dave said one time. He was right I should have been more thorough.

    Mikey PS all the best
    I'm sorry to hear that, Mike. It is easy to convince yourself that there is something there when there is not. I've claimed OU 3 times now and have been 100% wrong. Still, you keep trying. It is there. Geometry is probably key. Think naturally.

    Thanes' VS Bill

    Hey Dog-One

    Yes I agree about what you stated, however I said that for DAVE maybe he could go to a larger primary winding at 60hz. That is what I meant to say, not do a Thane core build.

    Starting with a proportionate power means in the .001 amps or 1-5 ma range if small wire is used.

    I am getting results with a 1:1 winding ratio at 60hz. At least there is a point where I go over the input on the output..

    We will see what happens with the amp. I got all 7 of my probes in the mail this week.

    The way to think about this is how Jim Murray explained it. You have a motor that is acting ONLY as a motor and a generator that is acting ONLY as a generator. The piece in between the motor and the generator couples power in only one direction (from motor to generator). Now you let the motor freewheel with no load and collect the power from the generator without in any way effecting the motor. Now, if you want something really special, you need to collect enough power from the generator to power the motor. Half as much or three quarters as much won't do.

    BiTT vs. SFT

    The whole reason I promoted Bill's design was because we needn't have special-built cores which I have priced--prototypes in excess of $500 for silicon steel; no idea how much they would be for Amorphous core material or Ferrite.

    Having said all that, I do think the concept involved is the same either way; what's different is the tuning. Tuning a Thane BiTT is far more difficult because if you have the wrong physical shape core, you're done before you ever start. With Bill's design you have a lot more options.

    Bottom line, I think Bill's design allows us the flexibility to find a sweet spot using different off-the-shelf cores and turns ratios. What again does a sweet spot look like? It should be something that demonstrates a cancellation of back EMF. Meaning an increase in load on the output does not propagate back to the source. That's half the battle--the easy part. The second half is creating an environment for the device where the input power draw is less than the real output power. This has always been the hard part. I've seen hundreds of devices where when you apply a load, the input power doesn't change, but in all cases so far, the input power has always been higher than the output power. This isn't obvious at first, never is, but once you check for average power usage, it always turns out you've used more power driving the input than you got back on the output. Otherwise a looper would be a piece a cake right? Just couple the output back to the input with a transfer switch to start the device and away you go.


    The way to think about this is how Jim Murray explained it. You have a motor that is acting ONLY as a motor and a generator that is acting ONLY as a generator. The piece in between the motor and the generator couples power in only one direction (from motor to generator). Now you let the motor freewheel with no load and collect the power from the generator without in any way effecting the motor. If you want something really special, you need to collect enough power from the generator to power the motor. Half as much or three quarters as much won't do. Haha! But if your generator isn't loading the motor, add another one, or two, or three until you have enough total power to run the motor. That's power magnification in a nutshell.

    So suppose we have an SFT that takes 10 watts in and gives us 5 watts out. No OU there right? What if we take three SFTs and gang their primaries in series and when we do this, we notice the input power drops a little to 8 watts and the output of each SFT drops to 4 watts. Add it up now--8 watts in, 12 watts out. We can work with this.

    Good Instructions

    Hey Dave

    Good to hear from ya great instructions I must add also. I guess I heard that one too where electric acts funny is the person has to much negative energy, or something like that. Personally I alway thought that one was a cop out, but thats just me .


    Either it works or it don't. With that reasoning (on the broken straw) I could build a unit over here and send it to another fellow and the working device would stop when it got to his house .

    I don't think so. All this stuff goes around the web, like some people are black holes sapping up all of the Aether? NAW


    I think you should follow thane and not Bill for now like I did. The video's that Thane show are nothing like your setup so I don't know how you could ever bring Thane into the discussion.

    This is because you haven't done anything like Thane has done in his video's so we must now shift our focus away from the complication of mixing two devices together for a complete mess of conflicting data.

    Let us begin once again with your setup. It is a BILL A. device that you are replicating. In this Bill A device that is an off shoot of the Bi-Toroid shown by Thane the frequency has changed from 60cps to 1000's of CPS.

    Another thing I need to point out is that BILL A. like Thane had a HUGE MASS of copper and core material and both were running an output voltage of a few volts. These are my personal views, here me out.

    If you weigh the transformer that Thane shows in the demo's we are probably looking at a 10lb sack of potato's.

    If we look at Bill's high frequency version of the idea we find the the size just got smaller. Yet when we look at the Bill A transformer, we are looking at an arrangement different for Thanes 1000's of windings.

    The Bill A. coils are triangular shaped so the right core balance can be achieved.I will assume that the wire is at least 20 awg so if you or I run a 26awg wire we can only expect 4X less is this comparison. Also core material volume has a direct relationship to efficient coupling coefficients. This is mentioned. Of course we all know transformer companies have designed their standards for generations and we are all familiar with them. This is not the case with the new BiTT designs.

    Core material volume proportions for the primary links VS secondaries should be scrutinized closely. Trust me if we don't do it just like Bill has done it then we will suffer loses. Make the winding and core material proportions as close to Bill's or Thanes as possible so as to eliminate failure.

    Once we have found the success we search for however small it may seem, we then can change it and watch the experimental results to improve on any design.

    These are the words of John Bedini and I can see what he means more everyday.


    I do not know this for sure but judging from the video you had and the video Bill A did, your mass for the entire unit is quite a bit less than Bills.

    Bill used a pretty large BiTT device for a merger input of 10 volts at 1466ma. X cos 78degrees = 3.277 watts at approx 3200CPS.

    Bill has heavy winds, more than mine and I use 20awg wire.

    Those cores are huge blocks that make up a whole lot of the mass of his unit.

    Coupling improperly can AXE your project.



    So based on this evaluations you might need a small load around a 1 watt load device and target 5 times less energy.

    Mine wants to be at a fraction of a watt on the output and any time I go up to a watt I end up with a COP of 1. Mine is poorly coupled, I need to finish winding two more triangular coils so I can do the core material proportions right, like Bill A. has shown.

    Think about it, each primary to secondary is only 25 percent smaller than the big link between secondaries. VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! WARNING ANY OTHER COUPLING PROPORTION MAY RESULT IN FAILURE.

    These are my personal thoughts on mass and size comparisons.

    Thane was calculating under a watt for his giant BiTT.

    Mikey PS Don't worry someone will blow our doors off soon enough and it will become clear.

This comes from full load calculations vs input calculations. Even when I cut out the resistive losses in the primary and run calculations, I still never calculate over 100%.

    I read Thane's patent application and accordingly, am within the design specs. I'm even using a grade of steel in one setup that is higher quality than in his original transformers. I still see conventional transformer operation.

    Be careful about trusting your test equipment too much, you must double, triple, quadruple check everything. I hope you are seeing something, Mikey, as it would give me motivation to not give up but must warn you. In a series of tests I ran a couple of weeks ago, I found that my Radioshack multimeter would register 159 mA vs the Fluke multimeter which showed 210 mA. Since the Fluke is true RMS rated, it is more accurate, 159/210 = .76. That is an error of 24%. Don't trust test equipment. Keep testing until you are tired of testing and then have a friend test it.

    From what I've seen on the bench and read on some of the old BiTT threads, either Thane is a magician or he is of the right mindset to make the phenomena manifest. The reason that I say that is because, according to Ralph Ring, supposedly Otis T. Carr's flying saucer's wouldn't operate correctly if a person's mental state wasn't of a pure loving vibration. Maybe that carries over into this type of situation. Grasping at straws...

He should have disconnected the load on secondary and showed data.

    Normal transformers increase current on the primary side when the secondary is called upon to delivery power.

    Not this one because it is a Bi-Toroid.

    Hype

    I am being funny because the "ONE WATT CHALLENGE" is hype.

    The rich guys who had the one watt challenge never pay. They just want people to put on the black list for practice target .

    The problem with so many OU devices is when they are looped back around again they are actually under unity, like mine.

    Maybe someday I will grow up enough to get as much as JOHN B. gets

    John can use 240watts to get 2400watts on his BIG MACHINE.

    The Howard Johnson Magnetic Gates DVD gives us a clue as to why JOHN can get so much more out of his monopole machines than we do.

    John also answered this 30year old question in PART 22 where Tom Beardon was being honored for his 80th birthday. The Ferris wheel was red, looked like a huge ribbon on the perimeter. John asked the audience is they knew why his machine was not like the SSG machines they all had?

    The answer so simple. John makes magnetic poles in a special way that is a switching gate that he learned from studying Howard's work.

    As long as the magneto coils are putting in a small amount to trigger these GATES these specially designed magnets with their odd fields will run the machine and charge battery banks without additional input.

    Basically what I just said was that JOHN B. big machines are a magneto triggered magnet motor generator all in wonder.

    John B. pressed in at an early age and achieved this task and many many more. He is someone who has lead the way keeping this work alive.

    Plus hundreds more who are friends of John's

    The one watt Challenge is approx 30 years old I think and I was just joking around when i said that.

    Which Core for a specific Job?

    All good reasoning Wayne

    I have wanted to get into that area of this work to offer some other thoughts as well. Sure your description is common and generally given to start with. The material is dust of metal, dust sized particle separators, some binder but heat and hydraulic pressure are used to mold parts. Also magnetic alignment while forming can be part of these cores.

    Nano size particulate itched with abrasion chemicals to clean the surface to make excellent bonds. Each nano particle whether aluminum, magnesium, cobalt, iron, nickel, moly and many more all have a job to do based on a proportion for each mix.

    Coupling inductor coils at low frequency uses more than one combination in the core mixtures. Medium and higher CPS have many formula each experimentally arrived at by that company. This is a complex process to discover what mixture does the best work at every frequency.

    This is why i have never given much merit to the idea of plopping some black sand into a mold with epoxy binding butter using a magnet to align particulate.

    There is no way that iron dust from the beach can compete with the controlled environment of a scientifically engineered product such as a ferrite core.

    To eliminate dozens of anomalous variants and still keep your day job use a factory made core material. Producing perfect coupling for inductor coils at a given frequency with near zero loses may SEEM like a simple task but it far beyond the average persons ability.

    Find the frequency of your experiment such as the AUDIO RANGE and you are good to go. Intermediate and high frequencies require a far differant response to keep loses near zero.

    All that we need do is pull up that companies list of available cores in the right frequency range and we are good to go.

Quality number two is the ease with which it LOSES any remaining magnetic tendencies when the external field is removed. Other, less important characteristics have to do with how easy it is form or mold into the desired shape, and its electrical resistance and other factors related to "core losses".

    I think my view is probably typical. The only other thing I can think of at the moment is the cost side of things. Is the material readily available at a reasonable cost?
