>>>>>     report as low 15 rpm !). Most other early experimenters
>>>>>     boasted up to 3000 rpm. J.G.Trump in his work on high voltage
>>>>>     generation in space [note 12] spun his rotary machine at
>>>>>     10,000 rpm (to produce 433 Watts at 24 KV no less). One reason
>>>>>     for this low speed might be to do with the close proximity of
>>>>>     the 50 lamellas (gitter-grilles) on the discs at their inner
>>>>>     ends, they are very close together, I think too close. Air,
>>>>>     normally an insulator, breaks down and conducts at around
>>>>>     25-35 KV (this figure has been fairly constant from day-one of
>>>>>     electrostatic machine experiments right through to the present
>>>>>     day --- because air has a breakdown field strength of 3x106
>>>>>     volts/metre) and short-circuits the circuit. I feel that
>>>>>     because this design of grilles is prone to short-circuiting at
>>>>>     high voltages the Methernitha people have limited their
>>>>>     rotational speed so as to ensure a low operating voltage ---
>>>>>     of what I'd guesstimate to be only 12 to 24KV.
>>>>>
>>>>>     But, is this a waste of extra potential ? Not necessarily, for
>>>>>     I don't think that the main power output comes solely from
>>>>>     what the two counter-rotating discs supply.
>>>>>
>>>>>     There is, I believe, a far more important power generator ---
>>>>>     the electron cascade generator, and the Methernitha has two of
>>>>>     them, held inside the two horseshoe magnets, and providing the
>>>>>     circuits to the magnets are made to oscillate at the right
>>>>>     frequency at a high enough voltage then these
>>>>>     metalised-perspex laminated blocks can enmass A MUCH LARGER
>>>>>     AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY THAN WHAT IS PUT INTO THEM.
>>>>>
>>>>>     This, perhaps, is the previously unknown electronic phenomenon
>>>>>     that the Methernitha group have so zealously been trying to
>>>>>     protect against unscrupulous entrepreneurs. But I would say
>>>>>     that this copious supply of free energy is already known to
>>>>>     the world --- it is not readily available - and its principles
>>>>>     are not fully understood, as yet, but it is known about.
>>>>>
>>>>>     As the descriptions say (on the Testatika website), between
>>>>>     the horseshoe magnet legs are four blocks of transparent
>>>>>     'plexiglass' type material alternated with copper and
>>>>>     aluminium plates (that may or may not be perforated), in the
>>>>>     sequence c-p-a-c-p-a-c-p-a-c-p-a (also see fig.6). And
>>>>>     according to the Linden Experiment, where Paul Baumann induces
>>>>>     a resonance of about 80-140 MHz in a coiled horseshoe and then
>>>>>     has an aluminium-insulator-copper block moved between the
>>>>>     horseshoe legs, a voltage could be taken off the plates of the
>>>>>     block which measured 700 volts (DC presumably) [note 13]. This

>>>>>     possibly, to this Principle Experiment may be
>>>>>     variable-capacitance and dielectric-absorpsion].
>>>>>
>>>>>     But what, I hear you say, is an electron cascade... Well, it

>>>>>     to an audio tape by a Dr. Flanagan about crystal water; when I
>>>>>     switched the tape over after the end of side one Dr. Flanagan
>>>>>     then began talking about an electronic configuration that

>>>>>     across an insulator --- that created what he called an
>>>>>     electron cascade effect --- Yes, I thought, here is the answer
>>>>>     to the Methernitha Machine.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The electron cascade or avalanche effect is where air
>>>>>     molecules are accelerated to the device at such a high
>>>>>     velocity that they collide with other molecules and atoms in
>>>>>     the air to liberate new electrons which in turn also collide
>>>>>     and liberate even more 'free electrons' from other air
>>>>>     molecules (see fig.5), all of which become accelerated by the
>>>>>     electric field, and an avalanche of electron-multiplications
>>>>>     progresses throughout the whole immediate environment [note
>>>>>     14]. It's a chain reaction, and an entirely safe one, it
>>>>>     happens in a more ferocious way in lightning strikes, and is a
>>>>>     natural phenomenon. And, as in this case, the environment
>>>>>     actually becomes part of the circuit [note 15] because the
>>>>>     process is actually negatively-ionising the air surrounding
>>>>>     the Methernitha machines, and that is why those who have been
>>>>>     near these generators when working say the air around about
>>>>>     them is cool and fresh [note 16].
>>>>>
>>>>>     In view of the fact that it's designers have chosen to wind
>>>>>     insulated wire (which may or may not be bifilar) around the
>>>>>     horseshoe metal it is likely that the horseshoes are used for
>>>>>     some form of induction [note 17], it would also be very
>>>>>     possible to draw directly from this part of the circuit the
>>>>>     extra electric current produced from the electron cascade
>>>>>     blocks, with suitable connections that might lead downward
>>>>>     into the wooden base (where it is believed that an alternate
>>>>>     layering of perforated metal plates and insulating plates -
>>>>>     making up a large high-voltage storage capacitor - is
>>>>>     located). This power could then be discharged as a pulsed
>>>>>     output of high wattage, especially if the final output part of
>>>>>     the electronic circuit is configured as a Pulse Forming
>>>>>     Network of multiple sections of inductor / capacitor
>>>>>     combinations [note 18].
>>>>>
>>>>>     The two big cans at the side, the big capacitors, are probably
>>>>>     not highly technical (see fig.7), once the fundamental formula
>>>>>     has been decided upon all models of a Testatika generator
>>>>>     would follow a similar construction process. The written
>>>>>     descriptions are a little contradictory but they seem to
>>>>>     suggest a central input rod, or tube, connecting at the bottom
>>>>>     of the cans to a stack of inter-linked pancake coils, that are
>>>>>     wound secondary-outside primary-inside, fitted around a core
>>>>>     of 6 hollow donut-ring magnets stacked in such a way with
>>>>>     plastic spacers as to allow air gaps between them, and then
>>>>>     finally the output of each can is a connection from the top
>>>>>     coil of the secondaries of the pancake coils to a brass ring
>>>>>     around the centre of the black plastic top lid --- and from
>>>>>     the photographs can be seen a large diameter wire or tube
>>>>>     [note 19] connecting that polarity's output terminal to the
>>>>>     top lid's brass ring via a brass screw terminal. I would
>>>>>     suggest that the ring magnets (of anistropic ferrite perhaps)
>>>>>     are gapped in this way to prevent the magnetic flux fields of
>>>>>     the pancake primaries co-joining as one sprawling field,
>>>>>     because it would be more advantageous, and safer, to have each
>>>>>     separate pancake's magnetic flux cut it's own adjoining
>>>>>     secondary coil, and divide the secondary output voltage into

>>>>>     The use of aluminium mesh and solid copper sheeting is
>>>>>     commonly used in electronic construction; the outer aluminium
>>>>>     mesh cylinder would be used to shield stray electrostatic

>>>>>     voltage/higher current [note 20]. Obviously they don't want

>>>>>
>>>>>     Within these two outside shielding-cylinders are 'grid
>>>>>     condensers' which, according to the 1999 report by the 30

>>>>>     (presumably as concentric cylinders) - which I have indicated
>>>>>     (in fig.7 for instance) as being electrically connected
>>>>>     BETWEEN each separate secondary winding - in the fashion of an
>>>>>     old discovery from the early days of wireless telegraphy and
>>>>>     based on the 'disruptive discharge coil' devised by Nikola
>>>>>     Tesla, that such a condenser connected in the center of a

>>>>>     *"Principle Experiment"*
>>>>>
>>>>>     *by*
>>>>>
>>>>>     *Paul E. Potter*
>>>>>
>>>>>     With respect to the 30 engineer's report (of 1999) the
>>>>>     'principle experiment' was set up in such a way (see diag 1)
>>>>>     that by swivelling the cross-piece over two other plexiglas
>>>>>     blocks a current was transferred into two capacitors. Possibly
>>>>>     when someone grabs hold of the swivelling cross-piece they
>>>>>     transfer some static electricity from their body to the
>>>>>     grilles of the cross-piece which, when vigorously turned back
>>>>>     and forth will initiate a transfer of electric charge to the
>>>>>     two stacks of blocks below them attached to the base. This may
>>>>>     either be because anyone walking over a carpet or wearing
>>>>>     man-made fibres will already hold thousands of volts of
>>>>>     electrostatic charge - which will be enough to 'prime' this
>>>>>     apparatus after touching it, to get it to work, much the same
>>>>>     as when a rotating influence machine has to be primed with an
>>>>>     electric charge before it will work; or, as many researchers
>>>>>     have surmised already, that the plexiglas blocks glued to the
>>>>>     swivelling cross-piece had been charged up with electricity as
>>>>>     an ELECTRET.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The use of mesh around the cross-piece guarantees a variable
>>>>>     capacitance to the moving arms --- and as these are moved
>>>>>     quickly over the base blocks (again, alternated with mesh and
>>>>>     Plexiglas) an amount of electric charge will be transferred to
>>>>>     them EACH TIME the arms go backward-and-forward over them.
>>>>>     Electronically, you have one variable capacitance acting upon
>>>>>     another variable capacitance - which is why Baumann said that
>>>>>     if metal foil were used instead of the mesh it would not
>>>>>     produce the same effect.
>>>>>
>>>>>     What happens next is called "dielectric absorption", and the
>>>>>     following extract, from "Dielectrics" by P.J.Harrop (1972)
>>>>>     pp71, will explain;
>>>>>
>>>>>     "When a given dielectric [i.e., plexiglas] has a field put
>>>>>     across it, and this field is then removed, the electrodes are
>>>>>     briefly shorted out (not enough for all the ions and particles
>>>>>     to relapse back) and the device left on open circuit one finds
>>>>>     subsequently that it has partially charged up again.
>>>>>
>>>>>     This is due to the slow-moving charge carriers remaining in
>>>>>     position. It can be a frightening phenomenon with practical
>>>>>     dielectrics since a person who has briefly discharged a
>>>>>     charged insulator may subsequently touch it and be severely
>>>>>     shocked." Some dielectric materials being more prone to this
>>>>>     effect than others, and so obviously some experimentation will
>>>>>     be needed to choose the best perspex, plexiglas, plastic, or
>>>>>     acrylic materials so as to take the most advantage from this
>>>>>     dielectric absorption effect.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Once the blocks are being charged up the electric charge
>>>>>     simply flows into the two interconnected capacitors and
>>>>>     accumulates.

>>>>>     *Linden Experiment ~*
>>>>>
>>>>>     A look at the only available diagram of the Linden experiment
>>>>>     (see diag 2) shows a horseshoe magnet coupled to what seems to
>>>>>     be a closed-ended wire. It can also be seen in this diagram
>>>>>     that the wire coils around the magnet are sufficiently spaced
>>>>>     apart so as to provide capacitance (between each coil of the
>>>>>     wire) in the circuit. So, with capacitance, coils (for
>>>>>     induction), and magnetic flux, you have all the ingredients
>>>>>     needed to make an oscillating circuit --- provided there is a
>>>>>     supply of voltage and some sort of interruption mechanism -
>>>>>     then you have a circuit that will resonate. And this leads us
>>>>>     back to that oft repeated question --- is the block used in
>>>>>     the Linden Experiment an electret. The first person to PUBLISH
>>>>>     how they have duplicated this experiment will be the one to
>>>>>     answer that question...
>>>>>
>>>>>     But there is something wrong with this diagram --- the
>>>>>     resonant frequency of this simple circuit --- depending only
>>>>>     on the values of inductance and capacitance included in the
>>>>>     circuit would consequently enable it to oscillate at only a
>>>>>     few kilohertz at best. No circuit of capacitance/inductance
>>>>>     can be made to resonate at such a high frequency as claimed,
>>>>>     not even if it included any form of quartz crystal. If, as the
>>>>>     diagram says, it resonates at 140 MHz then there must be a
>>>>>     Lecher wire system (the running of two conducting wires in a
>>>>>     parallel line, about a foot apart or less, for several feet)
>>>>>     to make it resonate at such a high frequency. It would seem to
>>>>>     me also that a required modification of the Linden Experiment
>>>>>     diagram would be to put a different metal into this circuit
>>>>>     where the wire is said to be "closed-ended", say for instance
>>>>>     a zinc plate, then there will be a contact voltage established
>>>>>     between the copper wire and the zinc plate. Such a voltage
>>>>>     would start the circuit resonating, for the reasons stated above.
>>>>>
>>>>>     And as with the Tini setup if a block comprising two metal
>>>>>     plates separated by a suitable dielectric material (such as
>>>>>     plexiglas) is placed in an oscillating electric field the
>>>>>     electric charge on the metal plates will permeate into the
>>>>>     dielectric, and for the same reasons as detailed above in the
>>>>>     Principle Experiment, will temporarily accumulate voltage
>>>>>     because of dielectric absorption. As I have already said
>>>>>     elsewhere there is a great similarity between the phenomenon
>>>>>     of the Testatika horseshoe blocks (and the Tini setup) and the
>>>>>     principle behind Patrick Flanagan's Electron Field Generator
>>>>>     which energizes an electron cascade mechanism throughout the
>>>>>     immediate environment.

>>>>>     *by*
>>>>>
>>>>>     *Cyril Smith*
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>     Having read Nelson Camus’ article purporting to "explain" the
>>>>>     Testatika over-unity generator
>>>>>     (http://members.aol.com/overunity2/nelson/testatic.htm), I am
>>>>>     of the opinion that the real explanation is hidden amongst the

>>>>>     machine (Leyden Jars, Horseshoe Magnets, Wimshurst Generator
>>>>>     and so on). From the description of spiral-wound foil
>>>>>     capacitors containing radioactive material and placed within
>>>>>     current carrying coils it strikes me that perhaps the real
>>>>>     energy comes from Beta particles (fast electrons) absorbed
>>>>>     into the electrical circuit.
>>>>>
>>>>>     To extract energy from Beta particles it is not just enough to

>>>>>
>>>>>     *"The Research Work of Methernitha in the Field of the
>>>>>     so-called Free Energy"*
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>     Ever since the foundation of Methernitha there existed a
>>>>>     department for research, development and electronics, which
>>>>>     was concerned with the problem of alternative energy sources,
>>>>>     namely with technologies, which were suited to exploit the
>>>>>     inherent forces of nature and thus to unlock sources of
>>>>>     energy  without disturbing natures ecological balance in any
>>>>>     negative way. Any technology man invents should serve him in
>>>>>     short as well as in long terms, and this condition is not
>>>>>     fulfilled as soon as it opposes nature in any way.
>>>>>
>>>>>     This team of research within Methernitha works completely 
>>>>>     autonomous and is financed out of the co-operatives own
>>>>>     resources,  without any outside support.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The efficient utilisation of wind energy was one of the first
>>>>>     objectives of Methernitha's research program. At the beginning
>>>>>     generators with special excitation were developed, which
>>>>>     allowed to load the cells of accumulators even at low RPM at
>>>>>     times when there are only moderate air movements.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Utilising the kinetic energy of water currents was another
>>>>>     field of interest of the development team,  but it was pursued
>>>>>     more as hobby. The key problem was here to transfer the slow
>>>>>     revolutions of the waterwheel to an extent that the excitation
>>>>>     threshold of the generator could be surpassed by a minimal
>>>>>     loss of energy.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Also solar cells and solar heat collectors attracted the
>>>>>     attention of our researchers since a long time. But since in
>>>>>     these fields other institutions have attained outstanding
>>>>>     results, Methernitha started, and this was already more than
>>>>>     30 years ago, to concentrate its efforts on lesser known and
>>>>>     even generally unknown sources of energy. The result of this
>>>>>     scientific work is the Thestatica machine.
>>>>>
>>>>>      The question arises: How it comes, that Methernitha, nothing
>>>>>     more than a private organisation, could invest so much time,
>>>>>     engagement, perseverance and financial resources in this kind
>>>>>     of research.
>>>>>
>>>>>      Research and development are integrated parts of the general
>>>>>     idealistic concept of Methernitha. To make you understand
>>>>>     these ideals and goals, we will now introduce you into the
>>>>>     practical sides of this spiritual community Methernitha, as
>>>>>     it  functions as a co-operative of people, living and working
>>>>>     together.
>>>>>
>>>>>      Linden is a calm village of farmers just as dozens of others
>>>>>     in the region of the valley called Emmental. However Linden is
>>>>>     also the home of a special form of human life, which is
>>>>>     capable of attracting more and more people from all over the
>>>>>     globe, and which has repeatedly caused astonishment through
>>>>>     its excellent functioning, even in extremely difficult
>>>>>     situations.
>>>>>
>>>>>      There is no doubt that the formation of Methernitha is also a
>>>>>     good part of the life story of Paul Baumann. Through his
>>>>>     extraordinary technical capabilities, but also through his
>>>>>     astonishing practicable wisdom he opened relations to all kind
>>>>>     of people with ideals and in many places, and pretty soon, the
>>>>>     idea to form a co-operative enterprise took shape.
>>>>>
>>>>>     "In the name of the God Almighty" people of equal thinking
>>>>>     gathered and founded a co-operative, which could serve as the
>>>>>     economic basis of this spiritual community.
>>>>>
>>>>>     "We want to be a united group of brothers, and never separate
>>>>>     however severe the burden may be", this was the solemn vow.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Renunciation of alcohol and smoking and the will to realise a
>>>>>     harmonious community life without dispute and discord like in
>>>>>     the original Christian communities were the prerequisites to
>>>>>     become a member. For the members Methernitha is an ideal
>>>>>     opportunity to lead a fulfilled life by practising charity.
>>>>>
>>>>>     A workshop was erected and soon, one house after the other
>>>>>     grew on these premises. Also all construction was done out of
>>>>>     own resources and solely with the savings from the common work.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Today Methernitha is a social model proving the quality of its
>>>>>     ideals through its well functioning just more than forty
>>>>>     years. The people working here are almost without exception
>>>>>     members of Methernitha.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Not even the prospering development that took place over the
>>>>>     following decades could impair or even suppress the global
>>>>>     idealistic aims. On the contrary, everybody works in his own
>>>>>     interest with diligence and great joy towards the erection and
>>>>>     the support of their new  homeland and according to the
>>>>>     principle:
>>>>>
>>>>>     One for all and all for one!
>>>>>
>>>>>     With this word one can conquer anything. Also the ancient
>>>>>     truths appear again and attain respect.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The people living here feel themselves as members of a family,
>>>>>     like a group sitting in the same boat and proud, but also
>>>>>     grateful proprietors of their own beautiful homeland, which
>>>>>     they may shape exactly as they wish to. Evidently, this form
>>>>>     of human social life can function only on the base of
>>>>>     idealistic principles.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The question arises, how the realisation of a sincere
>>>>>     religious philosophy of life may be brought in harmony with a
>>>>>     successful economic management. It is not obvious at all, that
>>>>>     this is attainable.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Nowadays there are many amongst us that are caught in the
>>>>>     world-wide and dense network of social and economic
>>>>>     dependencies and obligations and many also feel the
>>>>>     confrontation with its problems.
>>>>>
>>>>>      One member of the economic directory has recently phrased
>>>>>     this in the following way:
>>>>>
>>>>>     "The fact that all essential functions of Methernitha are
>>>>>     fulfilled without any external force, driven solely through
>>>>>     inner conviction, which causes everybody to help and take care
>>>>>     of the other, this is for me the most astonishing effect which
>>>>>     is produced by this form of living together. It seems to be a
>>>>>     miracle."
>>>>>
>>>>>      Another miracle within Methernitha is the Thestatica, which
>>>>>     is the result of more than 20 years of research.
>>>>>
>>>>>      This wonder machine is lurked from nature, nothing else.
>>>>>     Nature is the greatest source of power as well as knowledge
>>>>>     which man has, and it still conceals many secrets, which are
>>>>>     only revealed to those, who approach and tie in with them with
>>>>>     highest  respect and responsibility.
>>>>>
>>>>>     To understand nature and to perceive its voice, man is obliged
>>>>>     to experience silence and solitude, and it was there, where
>>>>>     the knowledge about this technology was obtained.
>>>>>
>>>>>     For these reasons it was always a great concern of Methernitha
>>>>>     to acquire properties, untouched by man as far as possible, be
>>>>>     it in valleys or forests, in the mountains or ashore of lakes,
>>>>>     where one could study nature, ones own being and the creator
>>>>>     of all this universe in silence and concentration and without
>>>>>     being disturbed.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The public never understood this properly, rather interpreted
>>>>>     it wrongly as an act of seclusion, assuming we had to hide
>>>>>     something unclean. We actually had --- and still have --- to
>>>>>     take great troubles to realise undisturbed all the things we
>>>>>     intended to accomplish.
>>>>>
>>>>>     Such undertaking in research and development necessitate
>>>>>     considerable financial expenditures. Therefore we are quite
>>>>>     often obliged to construct things with most primitive means
>>>>>     and materials. What was thrown away by our affluent society,
>>>>>     we collect and possibly set up with it a cornerstone in the
>>>>>     discovery of new forces and truth.
>>>>>
>>>>>     We are fortunate in gaining the experience that paradoxically
>>>>>     the most beautiful and useful results can be achieved by just
>>>>>     using the most simple means. Never did we use any borrowed
>>>>>     capital because we want to stay free Swiss citizens and do not
>>>>>     want to be hindered or even bound in any way in the pursuance
>>>>>     of our aims.
>>>>>
>>>>>     The two conterrotating discs generate an electrostatic charge.
>>>>>     One disc represents the earth, the other the cloud. Using grid
>>>>>     electrodes the charges are bound. After that they are
>>>>>     collected by non-contacting so-called antenna keys and then
>>>>>     sorted.
>>>>>
>>>>>     After being initially turned on by hand, the discs rotate by
>>>>>     themselves according to the electrostatic laws about
>>>>>     attraction and repulsion. A rectifying diode keeps the cycles
>>>>>     in steady state. Otherwise the impulses of attraction and
>>>>>     repulsion would accumulate and cause the discs to run faster
>>>>>     and faster. The correct speed is of great importance and for
>>>>>     optimal power generation the discs have to run quite steady
>>>>>     and slow.
>>>>>
>>>>>     By means of grid condensers the energy is stored and then
>>>>>     uniformly discharged, at the same time reducing the high
>>>>>     voltage and building up power with additional devices. Finally
>>>>>     the machine supplies a uniform direct current, which varies
>>>>>     according to the size of the model. The machine furnishes
>>>>>     about 3-4kW permanent output, depending on humidity, whereby
>>>>>     the electric potential ranges from 270 to 320Volt. High
>>>>>     humidity of the atmosphere prevents the build-up of electric
>>>>>     potential. The drier the air, the better.
>>>>>
>>>>>     No doubt, through the so far achieved results one main
>>>>>     objective has been reached, namely to prove that it is
>>>>>     possible to use Free Energy. Nevertheless the research work is
>>>>>     not yet completed.
>>>>>
>>>>>     To the educated physicist many a thing of this machine may
>>>>>     seem impossible, maybe even crazy. Maybe he is also offended
>>>>>     by the conceptions used to explain the whole. Only partly we
>>>>>     could use the concepts of conventional physical terminology to
>>>>>     explain and define only approximately the functions and
>>>>>     properties of the various parts of the machine.
>>>>>
>>>>>     After all it will be necessary to create some more new
>>>>>     concepts like the one we have already used before, when we

>>>>>     antenna keys.
>>>>>
>>>>>     This machine puts experts, which are just trained in

>>>>>     officially accepted physical knowledge, or at the most only
>>>>>     partially explainable. However also a trained specialist
>>>>>     should remain free and independent in his thinking, and should
>>>>>     avoid to be limited by the temporal framework of publicly
>>>>>     admitted knowledge in any science.
>>>>>
>>>>>     It has to be remembered that the established science was
>>>>>     already many times forced to change or give up some of its

>>>>>
>>>>>     The book knowledge of any times is not wrong, but it is

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     In 1943, Hans Coler and Dr. Heinz Frohlich made a report to
>>>>>>>     the Research Department of the Admiralty (OKM) in Berlin, in
>>>>>>>     which they described the Stromzeuger:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "The apparatus consists of three principle circuits which
>>>>>>>     are inter-wound and inter-coupled in a peculiar way. Some of
>>>>>>>     these are divided again into single subsidiary circuits
>>>>>>>     which evidently have all to be brought into resonance with
>>>>>>>     one another.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "The principal circuits (called the anchor) in which the
>>>>>>>     energy gain probably occurs, consists of metal plates
>>>>>>>     between which transformer coils are connected, the whole
>>>>>>>     being connected to one large coil plate. On each of the
>>>>>>>     single windings on this is coupled a large flat coil (called
>>>>>>>     field). These flat coils are interwound in two groups; these
>>>>>>>     groups represent the turns of a transformer. This couples,
>>>>>>>     on one hand on the flat coils of the other group (as
>>>>>>>     secondary coils), and on the other hand on the anchor-plate
>>>>>>>     coil, which is placed between them. The third electrically
>>>>>>>     independent circuit (called the directing circuit) regulates
>>>>>>>     this transference. Figure 1 [not included in the BIOS
>>>>>>>     Report] shows diagramatically and in plan these interwound
>>>>>>>     parts. Figure 2, the so-called basic diagram, shows the
>>>>>>>     connections between these different parts. This basic
>>>>>>>     diagram shows the conditions necessary for
>>>>>>>     self-interruption. In consequence of this arrangement,
>>>>>>>     different types of currents are created in different
>>>>>>>     conductors (pulsed DC, AC, etc.).
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "The transformer coils, connected between the anchor plates,
>>>>>>>     are connected in a peculiar way through thin permanent
>>>>>>>     magnet rods. Their main object seems to be to pre-magnetize
>>>>>>>     the transformer cores; it is, however, very probable that
>>>>>>>     they are also connected with the Barkhausen Effect."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     In his report Coler also described the following simple,
>>>>>>>     significant experiment:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "Given a solenoid consisting of two windings, one upon the
>>>>>>>     other, of the same length and number of turns, enclosing a
>>>>>>>     soft iron cylindrical core. Firmly attached to one end of
>>>>>>>     the core is a pre-magnetized steel rod. If an alternating
>>>>>>>     current is passed through one of these coils, acting as
>>>>>>>     primary, the residual magnetism of the steel rod is
>>>>>>>     strengthened during one half cycle, through the magnetism
>>>>>>>     induced in the core, during the other half it is weakened.
>>>>>>>     If now the other winding is connected in series with the
>>>>>>>     pre-magnetized steel rod (as secondary coil) in such a way
>>>>>>>     that the secondary current must pass through the magnet, one
>>>>>>>     half cycle of the secondary current must be more or less
>>>>>>>     subdued; in other words, a rectifying effect must be
>>>>>>>     created. It may be remembered that according to measurement
>>>>>>>     by Profs. Kloss and Schumann a high-frequency pulsed direct
>>>>>>>     current ~ about 180 kc ~ is flowing in the output resistance
>>>>>>>     of the apparatus, for the creation of which no other
>>>>>>>     explanation is possible." Another experiment with two
>>>>>>>     double-wound solenoids, connected in series, revealed that
>>>>>>>     "in such a secondary circuit a considerable DC component
>>>>>>>     exists which can be strengthened by means which we shall not
>>>>>>>     go into here…" Experiments were conducted with the plate and
>>>>>>>     flat coil unit to test their interactions: As the plates are
>>>>>>>     not only charged as condensers, but also have directed
>>>>>>>     currents passing through them it had to be assumed that
>>>>>>>     their mutual influences not only consisted of a condenser
>>>>>>>     effect, but that they also created a magnetic field… It
>>>>>>>     appeared that the "Ankertrakte" AC or BD are not all to be
>>>>>>>     considered as oscillating units, but that the single group
>>>>>>>     systems, consisting of plate - to anchor coils - plate,
>>>>>>>     already represent independent oscillation circuits.
>>>>>>>     _According to this the apparatus contained ten such
>>>>>>>     oscillation circuits_… In order to make the apparatus work
>>>>>>>     the harmony of all oscillating circuits in their individual
>>>>>>>     frequencies would evidently be necessary -- at least within
>>>>>>>     certain limits determined by the suppression in question…
>>>>>>>     The previous occasional success must be considered as due to
>>>>>>>     chance. The mutual influence of the flat coils upon one
>>>>>>>     another could not the other hand easily be examined because,
>>>>>>>     despite the great distance between the windings (25 mm),
>>>>>>>     they have remarkably great apparent resistance (about 200
>>>>>>>     ohms at 10 kc). It appeared that the power factor of both of
>>>>>>>     the flat coils wound 1:1, in consequence of their peculiar
>>>>>>>     interwinding have the astonishingly high value of 0.85. The
>>>>>>>     value of the power factor was at a maximum at 10 kc, at
>>>>>>>     which frequency the most favorable matching of the
>>>>>>>     impedance… was obtained. The repeated mention of 10 kc is
>>>>>>>     also found in the scientific literature on the Barkhausen
>>>>>>>     Effect. After all his experiments and measurements, Coler
>>>>>>>     offered the following explanation of the way in which the
>>>>>>>     apparatus works:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "Due to the connecting of the batteries, a current impulse
>>>>>>>     is induced in the anchor circuit which charges the plates.
>>>>>>>     The discharge circuit from the plates causes electrical
>>>>>>>     interruption of short duration of the battery current in the
>>>>>>>     field circuit, which furthermore inductively interrupts, or
>>>>>>>     changes the direction of, the battery current in the
>>>>>>>     directing current for a short time. The electromagnetic
>>>>>>>     field induced by this process in the directing circuit by
>>>>>>>     its dissipation, induces over the field circuit a current in
>>>>>>>     the anchor circuit recharging the plates, and so forth.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "Due to the influence of the Barkhausen Effect each single
>>>>>>>     process has an impulse-like character, and the necessary
>>>>>>>     change of phase is produced to allow the regularity of the
>>>>>>>     process.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "Due to a source, up to the present not investigated, and
>>>>>>>     not explainable by existing scientific theories, an
>>>>>>>     additional quantity of energy is freed during each cycle
>>>>>>>     which leads to a continual raising of the amplitude of the
>>>>>>>     mutual processes, until the magnetic cores are saturated.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "From the fact that in the resistance of the apparatus
>>>>>>>     pulsed direct current is flowing… There is possibly an up to
>>>>>>>     now unknown rectifying effect, or alternatively the gain in
>>>>>>>     energy is produced only during one half of the cycle, either
>>>>>>>     during the charging or discharging of the plates. The
>>>>>>>     activity in the apparatus must take place _in the ten
>>>>>>>     oscillation circuits in a phase-like manner_… No technical
>>>>>>>     means were available to make the necessary tuning adjustments.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "It is clear from the above that the success of the inventor
>>>>>>>     up to now could only be due to chance, or happy accident.
>>>>>>>     The necessity, therefore, arises to transfer the apparatus
>>>>>>>     from the state of empirical development, with sufficient
>>>>>>>     technical means and based on results of an exact basic
>>>>>>>     research, to a state of working procedure which can be
>>>>>>>     controlled." Other experiments, conducted by Frohlich with
>>>>>>>     the arrangement in Figure 6, convinced Coler that his theory
>>>>>>>     was correct:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     "The result obtained with this experimental arrangement… was
>>>>>>>     the clear proof of a considerably larger energy during
>>>>>>>     opening (intake), compared with closing impulses. The
>>>>>>>     [10-50%] difference is always in favor of the opening
>>>>>>>     impulse… Consequently this observation can also be
>>>>>>>     considered as a proof of the fact that an energy difference
>>>>>>>     exists. [There is a] considerable, but extremely short,
>>>>>>>     energy peak of the opening impulse. My development of the
>>>>>>>     "Space Energy Receiver" was based on this and was successful."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>     In the 1980s, George Hathaway (Planetary Association for
>>>>>>>     Clean Energy, PACE) constructed a Magnetstromapparat that
>>>>>>>     produced 50 millivolts, and demonstrated it at
>>>>>>>     unconventional technology conferences. There has been no
>>>>>>>     news of further development. The Barkhausen Effect upon
>>>>>>>     which the Coler inventions work is a low-field phenomenon
>>>>>>>     that occurs when a ferromagnetic material is subjected to a
>>>>>>>     change in the applied magnetic field. A series of
>>>>>>>     discontinuous steps develop, corresponding to reversals in
>>>>>>>     magnetization domain volumes from 10^-10 to 10^-8 cm^3 . The
>>>>>>>     size of the discontinuities can be increased by stressing
>>>>>>>     the magnet. Possibly the soft iron magnets which Coler used
>>>>>>>     were subjected to such stress by ultrasonic magnetostriction
>>>>>>>     from the coil windings at the 180 kHz resonant frequency.
>>>>>>>     One can only wonder why British Intelligence (sic)
>>>>>>>     declassified the Coler report, but we can be glad they did.
>>>>>>>     If only they had seen fit to include more schematics of the
>>>>>>>     Stromzeuger, because the available diagrams are woefully
>>>>>>>     inadequate. At least we now know a few key facts, to wit:
>>>>>>>     (1) Ferromagnetism resonates at 180 Khz; (2) The Barkhausen
>>>>>>>     Effect can be amplified to provide useful power (10 Khz is
>>>>>>>     another key frequency here); (3) "Some of the magnets are
>>>>>>>     wound in a clockwise direction looking at the N pole (called
>>>>>>>     _left_) and others in an anti-clockwise direction (called
>>>>>>>     _right_)". The resistance of the magnet-coil combination was
>>>>>>>     about 0.33 ohm; (4) "The basic principle is that an electron
>>>>>>>     is to be regarded not only as a negatively charged particle
>>>>>>>     but also as a South magnetic pole"; (5) "The novel feature
>>>>>>>     is that the capacities are connected to the secondary core
>>>>>>>     _through permanent magnets_"; (6) "There is a considerable,
>>>>>>>     but extremely short, energy peak of the opening impulse". It
>>>>>>>     is to be hoped that the Stromzeuger can be redeveloped,
>>>>>>>     since it is a relatively simple, low technology device
>>>>>>>     requiring no exotic components. It should not be left "to
>>>>>>>     chance, or a happy accident", as it was for Hans Coler.
