Great place for a golf course... Norm, the experiment that mentioned you as an observer with the two fluorescent tubes with the magnets and ignition coil to fraction out the cold electricity, what comments do you have concerning that experiment? Is it something interesting to repeat? Seems pretty thought provoking and with possibilities, but there was not much said beyond the primary write up I saw so wonder if there was followup or successes.

Mick!! Please provide a little more info on this particular experiment
for I have been involved with using magnets to translate "ZPE" component
of 4th state (plasma) found in gas tubes. Longitudinal electricity does
not have the electric nor magnetic vectors (A / B fields), so magnets
translate it into normal electric current. The Hans Coler device worked
this way! He was using atmospheric antennae and we used "Plasma"!

HANS COLER's GERMAN PATENT <http://rexresearch.com/coler/de680761.pdf>*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Immediately* after World War Two, Allied technical teams plundered
all the scientific data they could find in Germany. Much of what
they learned remains classified to this day. One most remarkable
exception to this secrecy is the declassified British Intelligence
Objectives Subcommittee (BIOS) Final Report #1043, Item #32: "The
Invention of Hans Coler Relating to an Alleged New Source of Power".
Coler was interviewed by R. Hurst (Ministry of Supply) and Capt. R.
Sandberg (Norwegian Army):
"[Naval Captain] Hans Coler is the inventor of two devices by which
it is alleged that electric energy may be derived without a chemical
or mechanical source of power. Since an official interest was taken
in his inventions by the German Admiralty it was felt that an
investigation was warranted, although normally it would be
considered that such a claim could only be fraudulent...
Accordingly, Coler was visited and interrogated. He proved to be
cooperative and willing to discuss all details of his devices, and
consented to build and put into operation a small model of the
so-called Magnetstromapparat [Magnet Current Apparatus]... With this
device, consisting only of permanent magnets, copper coils and
condensers in a static arrangement, he showed that he could obtain a
tension of 450 mv for several hours... One model is said to have
worked for three months locked in a room in the Norwegian Legation
in Berlin in 1933... The greatest tension obtained was 12 volts."
Coler also invented another device called the /Stromzeuger/ (Current
Generator). He claimed that, "with an input of a few watts from a
dry battery an output of 6 kW could be obtained indefinitely." The
last and largest model which Coler built was destroyed by a bomb in
1945, but "Coler expressed his willingness to construct it, given
the materials, the time required being about 3 weeks." The public
version of the BIOS report does not state whether or not this was
done. However, Bill Lehr (d. 1996) informed this writer that a close
friend of his once saw a Stromzeuger in operation in the offices of
MI5 in London, and a copy of the original BIOS report which was over
200 pages in length. The declassified report is a mere 30 pages
long. Hurst and Sandberg also interviewed Dr. F. Modersohn, who had
been collaborated with Coler and financed his research for 10 years;
he corroborated every detail of Coler's story. The
Magnetstromapparat was developed by Coler and von Unruh (who had
died by 1945), and they were assisted by Franz Haid of
Siemens-Schukert. Haid also built a working model which was seen in
operation by Dr. Kurt Mie (Berlin Technische Hochschule) and Herr
Fehr, who was the assistant of the renowned scientist Fritz Haber.
The Magnetstromapparat was described thus:
"This device consists of 6 permanent magnets wound in a special way
so that the circuit includes the magnet itself as well as the
winding (Fig. 1). These 6 magnet-coils are arranged in a hexagon and
connected as shown in the diagram (Figs. 2 & 3), in a circuit which
includes two small condensers, a switch, and a pair of solenoid
coils, one sliding inside the other. To bring the device into
operation the switch is left open, the magnets are moved slightly
apart, and the sliding coil set into various positions, with a wait
of several minutes between adjustments. The magnets are then
separated still further, and the coils moved again. This process is
repeated until at a critical separation an indication appears on the
voltmeter. The switch is now closed, and the procedure continued
more slowly. The tension then builds up gradually to a maximum, and
should then remain indefinitely. The greatest tension obtained was
stated to be 12 volts...
"In our presence, Coler built an apparatus as shown in Figures 1-3.
It is to be noted that 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 magnets were selected
to be as nearly equal in strength as possible, and the resistance of
the magnet-coil combination was checked after winding to see that
this also was uniform (about 0.33 ohm). The physical arrangement was
as shown in Fig. 2. A mechanical arrangement of sliders and cranks
for separating the magnets evenly all around was made up.
"When the magnets were at a separation of about 7 mm, the first
small deflection was noted. The switch was closed and by slow
adjustment of the sliding coil, and by increasing the separation of
the magnets to just over 8 mm, the tension was raised to 250
millivolts. This was maintained for another 3 hours when a soldered
tag became disconnected, and the meter slowly dropped back to zero.
Soldering up the broken connection did _not _restore the tension.
The magnets were closed up and left overnight, and the same
procedure for adjustment was repeated on 2-7-46. After about 3 hours
a deflection of 60 millivolts was obtained; this was maintained for
more than 30 minutes, but then decreased to zero when further
adjustments were tried.
"During all this work the model was completely open, and nothing
could be hidden in it. The breadboard and meter could be picked up
and moved round the room, tilted, or turned, without effect.
"The apparatus would appear to be to crude to act as a receiver of
broadcast energy, or to operate by induction from the mains (the
nearest cable was 6 feet away), and the result must for the moment
be regarded as inexplicable"
"[Coler was of the opinion that] ferro-magnetism was an oscillating
phenomenon, of frequency about 180 kilohertz. This oscillation took
place in the magnetic circuit of the apparatus, and induced in the
electrical circuit the frequency which of course depended on the
value of the components used. These two phenomena interacted, and
gradually built up the tension... Coler stated that the strength of
the magnets did _not_ decrease during the use of the apparatus, and
suggested that he was tapping a new sort of energy hitherto unknown
"Raumenergie" (Space-energy).
"It was judged that Coler was an honest experimenter and not a
fraud... The result obtained was genuine insofar as could be tested
with the facilities available, but no attempt has yet been made to
find an explanation of the phenomenon."
The Stromzeuger was invented in 1925, at which time Coler showed a
10-watt model to Prof. Kloss in Berlin. Kloss tried to interest the
German government in the invention, but his request was refused (as
was Coler's patent application) because it was a "perpetual motion
machine". The model was also seen by Prof. Schumann (of terrestial
resonance fame), Pr. Bragstad (Trondheim), and Pr. Knudsen
(Copenhagen). Kloss and Schumann wrote reports explaining the
physics of its operation, which apparently amplified the Barkhausen
Effect to a useful level. The Stromzeuger was described in the BIOS
report as follows: This device consists of an arrangement of
magnets, flat coils, and copper plates, with a primary circuit
energized by a small dry battery. The output from the secondary was
used to light a bank of lamps and was claimed to be many times the
original input, and to continue indefinitely." Coler and von Unruh
constructed a 70 watt model of the Stromzeuger in 1933 and
demonstrated it to Dr. F. Modersohn, who subsequently financed the
development of the invention and established the Coler Gmbh. for the
purpose. In 1937, Coler built a 6 KW version of the Stromzeuger. In
1942, Modersohn demonstrated the device to the Research Dept. of the
German Navy, which intervened and supplied them with materials,
meters and tools. Thereafter the research was directed by Oberbaurat
(Naval Construction Chief) Seysen, who assigned Dr. H. Frolich to
assist Coler for several months. The operation of the newly
developed apparatus turned out to be more complicated than they had
first thought, but progress was made. The large Stromzeuger was
destroyed by a bomb which struck Coler's house in Kolberg
(Pomerania) in 1945. Coler had been powering his house with the unit
for three years. Hurst and Sandberg gave a summary account of the
Stromzeuger in their report:
"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.
"The basic element is that of an open secondary circuit, capacity
loaded, inductively coupled to a primary circuit. The novel feature
is that the capacities are connected to the secondary core _through
permanent magnets_, as shown in Figure 4.
"It is claimed that, on switching on the primary circuit,
"separation of charges" takes place, i.e., Magnet 1 becomes
positively charged and Magnet 2 becomes negatively charged, and that
these charges are "magnetically polarized" when they are formed,
owing to the presence of the magnets. On switching off the primary
circuit a "reversing current" flows in the secondary, but the
magnets "do not exert a polarizing effect on this reversal".
"Two of these basic elements are now placed together making a double
system or stage with the plates close together in parallel planes as
shown in Figure 5. The secondary windings are both exactly equal and
wound in a direction such that on switching on the primary coil the
electrons in the secondary coil flow from P_1 to P_2 [P = Plate] and
F_1 to F_2 [F = "Flat Spool"].
"It is then stated that system merely has an inducing effect, and
the useful current comes into existence in the system.
"A single stage cannot be effective but two stages connected so that
the numbers of effective North and South poles are equal will
provide a basic working arrangement. More double stages can then be
added to provide higher outputs.
"It is then stated that as well as the normal electrons flowing from
the battery and from induction when the circuit is opened or closed,
"space electron" flow from "repelling spaces" to "attracting spaces"
between the plates" Professors M. Kloss and R. Franke (Technical
College of Berlin) tested the Stromzeuger in March 1926; their
report was included in BIOS Report 1043:
"The apparatus consists of: a double row system of copper plates, a
double-row system of flat spools, and a system of electromagnets, to
whose cores silver wires are attached and through which branch
currents of the plate-system are conducted. For each of the three
systems a 3-part accumulator battery of 6 volts/6.5 ampere-hours
capacity is provided. The plate-circuit and the spool circuit are
parallel so that the two batteries appertaining thereto can also be
replaced by a single battery. This was ascertained by switching off
the one battery while the apparatus was working.
"When asked why two batteries were used at all, Capt. Coler declared
that for starting the apparatus a double battery is necessary to get
a second charge-impetus after exciting with the one battery, and
this for releasing the peculiar character of the apparatus. A test
confirmed this assertion in as much as the mechanism could not be
started with the single battery; on the contrary, the "adjustment"
of the mechanism got disturbed.
"Current-indicators are built into each of the three circuits
mentioned, as well as volt-meters, behind some switch resistances
necessary for the "adjustment". Between the open ends of the two
plate and spool-systems there are the terminal clamps for the
effective circuit for whose loading 3 bulbs of 8 volts are provided.
The apparatus was then put into action and above all the load was
tested with the aid of the built-in instruments, that is on being
loaded with [2-3] lamps…
"The consumption of energy in the external circuit is greater than
the energy taken from the batteries. According to the circuit, the
magnet-exciting circuit is fed by a special battery, completely
separated from the other two circuits. Consequently, a direct
comparison of efficiency and consumption of the apparatus would mean
that only the sum of current of the plate circuit and of the spool
circuit would count.
"The reception of current from the two batteries in this case was
1.7 watt while the consumption of the bulbs amounted to about 8
watt. Especially striking in this connection is the considerably
higher current-power in the bulb-circuit being about 12 times bigger
than the current coming from the two batteries."
Professor W.O. Schumann (Munich) also tested the Stromzeuger in
1926; his 6-page analysis was included in an appendix of the BIOS
Report:
"The apparatus in question principally consists of two parallel
connected spools, which being bifilarly wound in a special way, are
magnetically linked together. One of these spools is composed of
copper sheets (the spool is called the plate spool), the other one
of a number of thin parallel connected isolated wires (called: spool
winding), running parallel at small intervals to the plates. Both
spools can be fed by separate batteries; at least two batteries are
necessary to put the spools to work.
"The spools are arranged in two halves each, according to the
bifilar winding system. The batteries are attached to the starting
points, and the current-receivers to the parallel connected ends.
Inter-communications are connected between parallel windings of the
two halves of the plate spool which contain iron rods with silver
connections. These rods are magnetized by a special battery through
applied windings (called: exciter windings).
"According to the statement of the inventor, the production of
energy principally takes place in these iron rods, and the winding
of the spools plays an important part in it (The form of the spool
is a long small rectangle).
"The inventor stated that the apparatus in its installation was very
sensitive, especially with regard to the magnetic conditions of the
iron cores, and that a wrong treatment [internal measurements] would
cause interferences which would be wearisome and very difficult to
be eliminated.
"The exciter winding is electrically completely separated from the
other windings...
"Installed in the apparatus were 3 current meters for the currents
from the 3 batteries, and furthermore current and volt meters for
the current receivers. One and two bulbs respectively were employed
for this purpose.
"As a striking fact it should be mentioned that the spool circuit
having been at first always switched on alone, received a current of
104 mA. As soon as plates and exciter circuit additionally and
simultaneously were turned on, as, according to the inventor, the
apparatus demands it, the current in the spool circuit comes down to
about 27 mA.
"After the present examination, carried through as carefully as
[possible], I must surmise that we have to face the exploitation of
a new source of energy whose further developments can be of an
immense importance. I believe that a further development of the
apparatus will prove justified and of great importance."
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.

Hi Norm, Yes when I asked you about endothermic circuits you pointed me towards page 25 of Colorado Springs where Dr T uses a gas tube. I guess I am still missing something as I thought longitudinal electricity can elicit an E field in electrostatics between two spherical resonant caps for instance but in it's native form is a background scalar field. Have much to learn... I assume you know about this as the article claims you introduced the parties, maybe that's where it ends but I thought you would be the one to ask as your name was mentioned. I have read about the Coler device with the four inductors magnets and the verniers. I am sure there is so much more to this as what filters out to the public is generally just a small taste as per the article you sent when the UK distilled down 200 pages to 30. The experiment was the Hawkings generator and below is the link. http://www.commutefaster.com/Hawkings%20generator%20of%20cold%20electricity.pdf On 12/6/2017 1:44 PM, Norman Wootan [email protected] [EVGRAY] wrote: > > Mick!!

Mick! To answer some of your questions,I need to clarify a few things
in Gary's PDF. I had the 5200 sq. ft. Research Lab in Dawson, TX built
to prototype my Hydrogen Reactor for GAZPROM, Russia. Ken Hawkins
(partner) lived in San Antonia and had an apartment in Allen, TX where
he worked for Sage Communications. We had visited Dr. John Milewski at
Albuquerque,NM where he was experimenting with Herkimer diamonds (twin
point quartz crystals) which Ken want to develop a new "super-luminal"
communication method. Paul Walker & Ken worker on the ignition power
pack driven method of creating the "Tesla Fire" ( white flame) using the
timing circuit. We flew down to El Paso and visited a group doing the
very same thing at the time. I went the alternate route to make the
Tesla Fire by building the famous "dissruptor transformer" (Tesla) and
using "unidirectional DC" discharge across very powerful magnetic quench
spark gap to get the desired results with the attendant,"unsheildable"
penetrating shock and Tesla fire. we all played with the flourescent
tubes and plasma tube with magnets. The use of magnetic fields to
convert "Static electricity", Holtz & Whimshurst machines is evidenced
by the Baumann Testatika.

*Translation by Stefan Hartmann < [email protected] > & Hans Holzherr*
From: Hans Holzherr
To: Stefan Hartmann
Recently, over 30 technicians and engineers (most of them retired)
were allowed to visit the Methernitha group in Linden, Switzerland,
where they witnessed a demo of the different Testatika machines.
Here is a report from Hans Holzherr from Switzerland who was present:
Hello Mr. Hartmann,
To your questions: > Have you seen live a machine with a load? If
so, what load?
I am referring in the following to the model with the 50-cm diameter
disks. This machine was already running when the visitors stepped
into the room, and was not halted during the whole time --- we were
there for about 1.5 hrs. As a first load a 1000-Watt lamp was
connected for approximately 10 seconds whose brightness did NOT
diminish --- the corresponding sequence on the Testatika film is
just an effect of the camera aperture's automatic adjusting to the
sudden brightness! The second load was a U-shaped heating element,
that Mr.Baumann handed to me. It became so hot within one second
that I had to put it down immediately! What was particularly
impressive was that while he pulled back one of the contact wires
(that was with the lamp, I believe), a 1-cm long arc appeared
between the output electrode and the connecting wire for
approximately one second. The apparatus was under a plexiglass hood.
Near the base it had two holes which Baumann used to insert the
contact wires to touch the output electrodes.
How do you think the high wattage is produced ?
Good question! I'd love to know the answer, too!
Did the disks slow down when a load was placed across the output
electrodes ?
I did not notice that (nobody else did), but of course you tend to
turn your look to 'where the action is' (the lamp etc.) The disks
turned with 15 rpm, which is quite slow. The spin rate was regulated
magnetically.
What general impression did you have ?
It was really impressive! One can hardly believe it, with this slow
rotation. In any case, this cannot be explained in terms of bare
electrostatics in the sense of the Wimshurst machine. The perforated
sheets seem to have a key function... Beside the pick-up and the
drive electrodes there are a number of small plexiglass blocks with
glued-on perforated sheets, whose function is unknown.
As Adolf Schneider already mentioned, my colleague Bernhard XXX and
I want to try to copy the principle experiment shown by Baumann ---
without much hope to find anything extraordinary, though.
The device consists of a horizontal swiveling plexiglass arm with a
small rectangular plexiglass plate at both ends glued to the lower
side of the arm. The lower side of the arm is covered with
perforated aluminum sheets (square holes), while the bottom of the
plates is covered with brass wire mesh. Beneath each plate five
additional plates are glued onto the base plate. There is also wire
mesh between each pair of plates in the two blocks. From the mesh
layer between the lowest plate and the base a wire goes to the two
capacitors, which are connected in parallel . Baumann seized the arm
with both hands and turned it about ten times back and forth (a full
rotation was not possible, because the capacitors were in the way),
then measured the DC voltage with a digital measuring instrument: 60
Volts. Then, as he short-circuited the condensers a loud crack could
be heard. I don´t know if that already is an abnormal result...
On my question Baumann replied that with metal foil (instead of wire
mesh) the device would not produce that effect.

That the Swiss Methernitha group's Testatika machine is thought to
be based on a Wimshurst electrostatic generator, is only a sparse
approximation of the truth --- of the great multitude of
electrostatic influence machines developed around the 1900's it more
closely follows the charge-separation-and-collection system used by
the 1898 Pidgeon machine [note 1] for its electrical circuit.
Its 50-per-disc steel grilles or 'gitter-grilles' are plainly unique
to the Methernitha (see fig.1) but in principle follow on from
previous research and patents for corrugated sectors which were
found to be more efficient charge carriers [note 2] than flat ones,
and from a similar example in more recent times of aluminium rods
extending out like wheel spokes from an insulating hub of perspex
[note 3].
Another unique function of these perforated grilles attached to the
discs is how they induce charge from the rotating discs onto the
special collecting pads, or 'tasten' antennae keys (which are also
perforated --- so as to more readily pick up charge); for in a
Wimshurst you had conductive brushes or rails of sharp points which
actually touched the discs or were placed very close to them, but in
the Methernitha the charge has to be made to traverse a parallel
air-gap to the pads and for this purpose the metal gitter-grilles
are so designed to create miniature eddy-currents of charged air
which circulate in and out of the perforated metal's surface
charges, and are more easily bounced out to the collecting pads.
This process is categorised as VARIABLE CAPACITANCE electrostatic
generation.
Careful note needs to be made of how the Methernitha uses its
basically Pidgeon setup with regard to its neutralising rods (that
equalise and stabilise the opposite charges --- see fig.2), and how
charges are picked up from one area and accumulated at others, so
that the polarities of charge are distributed correctly to specific
areas on both discs [note 4].
And although there have been some fanciful claims, or
misinformation, that it uses all sorts of radioactive materials to
achieve its pulsed output I most strongly believe that the auxiliary
electromagnetic circuit, that wraps itself around the rotating
discs, portrays a simple electronic approach; afterall, who would
use radium radioactive emission alongside leyden jar capacitors !
Indeed, the more you look into certain elements of its construction
the more they point to three main eras of electronics development,
the 1900's, the 1920's and the 1950/60's. The authentic Methernitha
was designed and developed by purists who believed they had
discovered a previously unknown electronic phenomenon, but they
wanted to keep an integrity to the early pioneering days of the
Pidgeon, Wimshurst and Holtz electrostatic machinery; they would not
use such modern devices as transistors or IC chips (more's the pity)
--- but they do use some pretty uncommon electronic engineering in
their circuit [note 5].
Obviously, the electronics are in two parts; one --- the
electrostatic generator and its particular technologies of how to
direct what charge where, and two --- the very unique auxiliary
electromagnetic circuit of inductances, capacitances and
rectification that mobilises that 'static' electricity. To
understand how they convert static energy into an electromotive
force you would do well to go back to the earliest years of radio.
From the pages of spark radio you soon appreciate just how
important oscillation circuits and their valve rectifiers were, and
moreover, how difficult it proved to engineer them. For although
radio transmitters and receivers from the 1900's used resonating
circuits their oscillations were controlled by sparks between two
contacts and, of course, they were relatively inefficient. Not until
the 1920's did the first electric current oscillations become an
observable controlled phenomenon when someone coupled a rectifier
valve, a capacitor, and a resistor together [note 6]. The early
1920's also saw the best era of experimentation and invention for
novel devices that turned static energy into useable electromagnetic
energy; it was in a 1921 patent that we see a German physicist
Hermann Plauson describe in great detail his methods to convert
static power, not only from rotary influence machines but also from
balloons collecting atmospheric electricity up in the sky; and by
using thermionic rectifiers, leyden jar capacitors and inductor
coils he proposed a free-energy network that was to power the whole
of Germany [note 7] ! The thermionic rectifier valve heralded a new
era for radio and high voltage physics, and as it was then subjected
to such a broad array of experiments and modifications to improve
its efficiency so it paved the way for all sorts of new avenues in
electronics. Indeed, with such a technical catalogue of similarities
with what we see in the available photographs of Testatika it can be
assumed without doubt that the horizontal glass tube which sits on
top of the Methernitha machines is exactly what a home-made vacuum
thermionic rectifying valve would look like; with its internal anode
mesh-plate, surrounded by a coiled copper grid, fed by a glowing
(heated) cathode wire running horizontally across its centre and
capped by two black end-pieces, which are too big and bulbous to be
mere end-caps and must surely be black rubber vacuum seals to seal
the glass tube and the input/output wires [note 8].
With such a rectifier, some induction coils, and some leyden jar
capacitors you have a circuit that oscillates, and that's what has
to happen with a Methernitha, the electromagnetic circuit has to
oscillate for it to work, and then the oscillations have to be
rectified (or even modulated) so that the resulting single-pole
pulses can be channeled through the big cans, which are basically
high-efficiency transformers, and outputted as reduced voltage
higher current DC pulses (see fig.3).
The precise components used to oscillate the primary oscillating
circuit are, I believe, not to be seen in any of the available
photographs, but there are various hints for their approximate
whereabouts on the machine. Firstly, according to electronic design
there should be a capacitor and coil configuration in close
proximity to the rectifier. Well, from the picture "3KWREAR" can be
seen the two long upright tubes which, according to those who have
seen them first-hand, comprise a spirally turned aluminium strip
(which indicates they are chokes [note 9]) inside a glass tube,
inside the same sort of outer shielding that the big cans have
(which indicates they are electrostatic shields), inside yet another
glass tube, and are terminated at the top with a brass connecting
rod which does a right-angled turn and passes into the side of the
tower --- but only two-thirds up the height of the tower. These two
assemblies must form a connection to the rectifier, because the
rectifier is at the top of the tower, so why don't these
electrostatically sensitive tubes extend all the way up to it ?
Again, from the photographs of the rear and front of the
Methernithas there is a wire that comes out of the tower's side wall
at about 4 inches above the upright's brass terminals and this wire
then passes through a short black tube and on to the rectifier
valve. This, of course, would happen on both sides of the tower,
enabling a connection to both ends of the rectifier. But why have
this 4 inch gap of connections at the top of the tower ? Something
is placed inside the top of the tower in this intermediate space
which is very necessary to the circuit, and I think it must be the
location of the capacitor/inductor configuration to oscillate the
circuit. This (fig.4) is how I would see the inside of the top of
the towers [note 10].
I've seen some of the patented inventions that rotate discs --- by
using magnets (i.e., H.Rosenberg's permanent magnet excited
rotational machine, US Patent # 3,411,027 ), and by utilising
inscribed metalised discs (US Patent # 3,239,705 for instance), but
there simply isn't enough room for these to be located in the
Methernitha disc setup --- also, you don't want to interfere with
the ES fields that zip around the revolving discs: From the reports
of those who have seen the small machines working it appears their
discs were rotated by small DC electric motors after they were
hand-started, some re-wound with thinner wire (to presumably
increase their torque) and powered directly from the discs'
generated electricity --- but I have also seen how two discs can
continue to rotate simply by careful placement of curved electrodes
[note 11] which would act on the charges on the discs --- like the
3kw Testatica Distatica generators.
After reading through the many early accounts of electrostatic
rotary machines, and some of the more recent ones, you can't help
but be puzzled by the Methernitha's incredibly low rotational speed
of just 60 rpm (and in the 1999 engineers 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 incredible phenomenon has never been replicated by any 'outside
researcher', and is said to be the basis by which the Methernitha
machine could be understood how to work [the clue, possibly, to this
Principle Experiment may be variable-capacitance and
dielectric-absorpsion].
But what, I hear you say, is an electron cascade... Well, it was
only by chance, very recently, that I happened to listen 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 applied a high frequency, high
voltage alternating field 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 smaller amounts
of potential, thus depending less on complicated insulating
procedures that accompany high voltage single primary / single
secondary transformers.
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 charges, and the solid copper
cylinder is to shield the large amount of stray electromagnetic
fields produced by the transforming process from high voltage/low
current to lower voltage/higher current [note 20]. Obviously they
don't want field contamination taking place between the sensitive
electrostatic generator and the transformers.
Within these two outside shielding-cylinders are 'grid condensers'
which, according to the 1999 report by the 30 engineers, can be as
many as 20 layers of perforated sheet (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
secondary coil collects the maximum amount of voltage created by
that secondary. This configuration of one condenser inside another
inside another etc etc, has a striking similarity to the layout of a
pulse forming network [see note 18].
In the red wired can the transformer is wired to output negative,
and the blue wired can's transformer is wired to output positive
polarity. Special note should be made of a similar arrangement for
divided primary / secondary windings devised by Van de Graaff in his
'High Voltage Electromagnetic Charged-Particle Accelerator Apparatus
Having an Insulating Magnetic Core' [note 21] with respect to
magnetic reluctance gaps.
Whilst it has been said that the clear perspex disc was designated
the 'cloud' disc, and the (rear) dark disc the 'ground' disc I would
think this relates to different types of acrylics or plastics that
might become charged to different polarities, as in the
triboelectric series, where frictional charging of different
plastics --- and then bringing them close together, might cause
donation or acceptance from one to the other; I would think from the
above that cloud represents a donator (positive charge) and that
ground must mean an acceptor (negative charge). Has anyone tried the
combination of a teflon disc (extremely negative charge) with a
glass disc (highly positive charge) ?
Or discs doped with paramagnetic particles perhaps [note 22] ?

of Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz (
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html ) which is
absolutely full of information about (and with links to) present-day
developments in electrostatic machines.

Using A Modified Electrostatic Influence Machine" by M.Zahn, et al.,
American Journal of Physics, Vol 42 (1974) p. 289.
*Note 4* The Methernitha designers have taken a basic Pidgeon
electric field system and added a few modifications of their own,
partly to lock a certain polarity of charge to a certain area so as
to stabilise it, and also to boost certain areas with charge. As in
their use, for example, of an extra field plate located at the
top-centre in front of the front disc (just under the rectifying
valve), note also that this plate, or antennae key, is indirectly
coupled to the rest of the circuit, via a coil setup. Much the same
occurs with the two plates slightly below it, these plates are
connected to a brass terminal which connects to a copper wire that
goes down and winds in a coil shape around a hollow plastic tube,
and inside the tube will be another wire or small coil that draws
off the electric charge. So these three plates are using not direct
connection but induction to get their charge.
*Note 5* ------- By looking at how each of the photographed machines
have been constructed you can see that these are high quality
crafted structures. I would think each would start off as
sub-assemblies fitted together by pairs or small groups of members,
those sub-assemblies of wooden base, big cans, perspex framework,
discs with bearings and axles, when completed would be passed on to
the electrical engineers of the community who would then fit the
wiring connections, vacuum tube rectifier and make sure that not
only did they work but that they looked like a work of art.
*Note 6* --- The Fleming valve had been around since 1905 and while
it progressed to the thermionic valve and audion, by 1922 the
‘Pearson and Anson Effect’ was discovered whereby oscillating
currents could be produced with a resistor, capacitor and thermionic
valve coupled together.
*Note 7* --- See US Patent 1,540,998 (9 June 1925) Conversion of
Atmospheric Electric Energy by Hermann Plauson. He also wrote a book
of the subject titled "Gewinnung und Verwertung der Atmospharischen
Elektrizitat" in 1920 in German (which is currently held in the
British Library).
*Note 8* --- Whilst some have seen the smaller 300 Watt machine’s
discharger/rectifier quite open and not encased in a vacuum tube the
vacuum tube models would be much more efficient and would waste less
current. Also, the rectifier tube must have a heated filament (which
on the 3KW machines can be seen as a glowing line running the whole
length of the grid and coil assembly between the two black end caps,
and in the films you can see faint flashes coming from behind the
rectifier so possibly the filament is wrapped around the other side
of the grid/coil assembly as well). Coolridge, back in the 1900’s,
discovered that no discharge from the cathode to the anode would
occur, even at 100,000 volts, unless the filament was heated
(Physics Review, Vol. 2, Dec 1913, p. 418). Aluminium mesh will give
off electrons quite readily and can be used as a cold cathode ---
but a heated cathode offers the advantage of being able to control
the oscillations.
*Note 9* --- The two long upright tubes are without doubt choke coil
assemblies in precisely the right place to slow down the current
where it gets oscillated and rectified. In a choke the higher the
flow of current the greater will be its resistance to that current
flow. An even better form of choke will have some form of iron core
inside it.
*Note 10* --- I have come up with 6 different circuits for this
oscillation section, some of which include small quartz crystals.
(See notes 13 and 16 on frequency of oscillation). The black dial at
the rear of the 3kw machine is most likely to select a variety of
capacitances so as to control the oscillations of the circuit, which
in turn control disc rotational speed.
*Note 11* --- The phenomenon of electrostatic motors has been well
researched over the years (see "Electrostatic Motors" O. Jefimenko
in "Physics Teacher" Vol. 9, March 1971, p. 121-9, and in
"Electrostatics And Its Applications" by A.D. Moore (1973) p.
131-147; "Electrostatic Motors" by B.Bollee in "Philips Tech.
Review" Vol 30 (1969), p. 178-194). The Methernitha Testatika
generators (see a recent report by 30 engineers) auto-rotate, after
they have been started by hand, by the same principles of these ES
motors.
*Note 12* --- J.G.Trump worked for the US Air Force and pioneered
some highly efficient electrostatic machines around the 1960’s
(see"Electrostatic Sources of Electric Power" in "Elec. Eng."
66:525, June 1947; and "High Voltage Generation in Space:The
Parametric Electrostatic Machine" in "Progr. Astronaut. Rocketry"
(vol 3 --- Energy Conversion for Space Power) 1961 p745).
*Note 13* --- Although the ‘Linden Experiment’ was thought to
register a frequency of 80-140 MHz this does not necessarily mean
that the Methernitha generators would oscillate at that rate also.
Such a frequency seems unnecessarily high.
*Note 14* --- See "Plasma --- The Fourth State of Matter" by D.A.
Frank-Kamenetskii (1972) pp10, and Dr.Patrick Flanagan’s US patents
4,743,275 (May 10, 1988) and 4,391,773 (Jul 5, 1983).
*Note 15* --- The effect is very similar to the converging forces in
a non-uniform field, the oscillating perspex blocks become one
‘electrode’ and the surrounding air in the room becomes the opposite
‘electrode’, and by the processes of electrophoresis and
dielectrophoresis the electrically charged particles in the air (the
electrons and negative ions) are drawn toward the central electrode,
which in this case is the perspex block assembly (see "Nonuniform
Electric Fields" by Herbert A. Pohl in "Scientific American" (Dec
1960) p. 107-8). I am much more inclined to believe that the
ingenuity of the design of these types of machines comes from
physicists and not electronic engineers.
*Note 16* --- Dr. Flanagan actually uses the electron field
generator in his own special ionizer (see Method of Purifying Air
and Negative Field Generator US Patent 4,391,773).
How does an electron cascade generator work, I would think that
while you have an alternating electron movement (and Dr. Flanagan
reckons this effect occurs with a high voltage field alternating at
above 20 KHz) at the metal electrodes, the perspex blocks sandwiched
between them would transfer the electricity not through their mass
but around it, as surface charge --- actually in the layer of air
right next to the insulator’s surface. Its the same principle as
dielectric absorption - the perspex blocks don't discharge
themselves fast enough to keep up with the alternating voltage and
so they accumulate more and more charge --- until it forms as a
layer of charge on the insulator's surface. This means that at a
high enough frequency the surface-air molecules polarize, with the
more mobile electrons separating from the slower bulks of those
molecules and while the electrons get thrusted back and forth a
secondary layer of (slower) positive air ions develops, and so on,
and the process of high voltage high frequency polarization triggers
the electron avalanche effect.
In the event that the perspex blocks are indeed ELECTRETS (as
free-energy researcher Geoff Egel and others suggest) I would think
that they would work in a similar fashion to the above process, of
dielectric absorption that charges up the blocks before they produce
the cascade-effect. Because in the electret the electrons charged
into the perspex/plastic, and the positive ions, would still be
manipulated by the reversing electromagnetic field in such a way as
to orientate (as with dipoles) back and forth, to eventually reach
the point (if the whole circuit is tuned properly) where they would
attain resonance with the immediate air surrounding them. And if
this effect is similar to an inductance then possibly a back-emf
will result also, to increase the output voltage. Either way I
believe the effect will still be an electron cascade through the
environment and the product of this oscillating output (at the
blocks) could similarly be drawn off and accumulated in the
multi-layered base capacitor network.
I would suggest that a test program to find the best type of blocks
would be; One --- try different types of plastic/acrylic/ceramic
materials for the blocks.
Two --- try different methods of electrifying the plastics (as with
electrets). Three --- try plastics doped with semiconducting
particles. Four - try plastics doped with paramagnetic particles.
Five - try hollow plastic blocks containing an electrolytic fluid.
More information on plastics will be found on the Electret vs
Dielectric Absorption Page.
*Note 17* --- There are several definitions of Bifilar, one where
the wires cancel out their magnetic fields, and one where the wires
are wound to ensure a tight low-loss magnetic flux coupling, in this
case you need all the magnetic flux you can get so it must be the
latter --- See "Transformers For Electronic Circuits" by Nathan R.
Grossner (1967), p. 224 etc.
Most commonly used magnetic metal is Mumetal, which is an easily
saturable magnetic material, routing magnetic flux through it rather
than in the surrounding air, so as to enhance the mutual induction
between the two coilings of red wire around the horseshoe legs.
*Note 18* --- So that the machine's output voltage doesn't drain
away when it is connected up to a large load, what is needed here is
a Pulse Forming Network (or artificial delay line). "Such a network
is an improvement on simple capacitor storage because of the
cascading action from one capacitor to the next along the chain. At
the beginning, all capacitors are charged to the same voltage but as
soon as the first one starts to loose voltage, the one behind it is
then free to discharge into it. This topping-up action, which
trickles down the network from capacitor to capacitor, is the
mechanism by which the voltage across the output terminals tends to
hold onto its original level." (see "High Energy Discharge Systems"
A.P.Stephenson, Electronics Today International, March 1992, pp.
24-26).
*Note 19* --- When voltage of a high potential and high frequency
flows along a wire it does so on the outer surface (called the ‘skin
effect’) and so the Methernitha would use thick wiring or even 1/8"
tubing to connect its circuit.
*Note 20* --- Two references for shielding are: "A Shielded Loop" by
S. Goldman in "Electronics" Vol 11 (1938), pp. 20-22; and
"Measurements in Radio Engineering" by F.E. Terman (1935), p. 218 &
p. 341.
*Note 21* --- For information on maximum voltage in the center of a
secondary coil see "A Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy" by J.
Erskine-Murray (1913) p. 42; and an article called "Dielectric
Hysteresis at Radio Frequencies" by E.F.W. Alexanderson in "Proc.
I.R.E., Vol. 2 (June 1914) p137-157. For Van de Graaff's transformer
see US patents 3,323,069 (May 30, 1967) and 3,187,208 (June 1,
1965). These patents were not just for a Van de Graaff high voltage
generator, they were for a special system devised by Van de Graaff
long after his generator had been in use to convert static
electricity into current electricity. This system may be a little
too complicated for the Methernitha but, nevertheless, the
principles he used for multiple primary / secondary windings may be
of some interest.
*Note 22* --- Dr. Flanagan modified his insulator blocks, made of
resin, by doping them with paramagnetic granules (such as silicon
carbide) to enhance even more the electron cascade effect; which is
an idea that the physicist Thomas Townsend Brown first experimented
with (by using lead oxide granules) in his US Patent 3,187,206 (June
1, 1965) to good effect. The surrounding air could also be
‘enhanced’ in similar fashion to polarise it's electric charge and
improve its side of the performance (for those interested in the
‘physics’ of this see an article by W.A.Douglas Rudge "On Some
Sources of Disturbance of the Normal Atmospheric Potential Gradient"
in Proc. Royal Soc. A, Vol. 90 (1914) pp. 571, etc).
*Note 23* --- Some other generators with similarities to the
Testatika machine are the "Electrostatic Energy Field Power
Generating System" invented by William W. Hyde (US Patent 4,897,592
of Jan 30, 1990) is a rotor/stator variable capacitance machine
capable of producing 300 KV. Other such generators are; "Parametric
Electric Machine" invented by Ferdinand Cap (US Patent 4,622,510 of
Nov 11, 1986) which has a series resonant (LCR) circuit structured
into it so that it oscillates --- and indeed operates AT RESONANCE
to ensure a high output; "Electrostatic Generator" invented by Dan
B. Le May, et al. (US Patent 3,094,653 of Jun 18 1963) is a very
ingenious system of variable capacitance; the "Electrostatic
Machine" by Noel Felici (US Patent 2,522,106 of Sep 12, 1950) is a
good standard which utilizes a valve rectifier; and the
"Electrostatic Generator" by William S. Spencer (US Patent 1,415,779
of May 9, 1922) is an early rotor/stator generator which transferred
its electric impulses through a transformer to produce a higher
current output.

*"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.

*Unidentified European Report ~*
*"Believe or Not, Here It Is!"*
The first really running "free energy" machine coming from
Switzerland, Europe. It was developed over a 20 years Research
period by a religious group called: METHERNITHA. This group lives in
CH-3517 Linden, Switzerland. The inventor of this superb machine,
Mr.Paul Baumann claims, its running principle was found by studying
the lightning effects from nature.
And here are the facts :
* Testatika is an influence-type Wimhurst machine which runs on it's
own energy, once started by counterclock revolving it's 2 dics by
hand !!!
* Testatika not only runs on it' own energy, but produces also a
huge amount of excess power, at least 3 KWATTS of power! That is
enough to supply a one-person apartment with one machine!
* The machine you see during this demo-animation is only about 70 cm
wide, 40 cm deep and about 60 cm tall !
* It delivers DC-Voltage ranging from 270 til 320 Volts, only
depending on the dryness of the air! At this voltage it can supply
at least 10 Amperes of DC-current !
* Testatika is not a perpetuum mobile, but an energy machine that
collects it's huge amount of "FREE" energy from the charged and
ionized air particles. But there are still some technological tricks
implemented to overcome the normal drag-resistance of a conventional
Wimhurst machine, which is still the secret of the Methernitha group
!!!
When will this technology be available for everyone?
The Testatika machines, (there already exists also some smaller
units which only deliver about 200-300 Watts) are not yet
mass-production type models! They are still laboratory prototype
units, although they are build with a very good craftmansship !

The pictures are from some photos and from a video-tape Methernitha
sells. It shows the machines (also the smaler ones) and explains
also Methernitha's spiritual aims. The tape has a running length of
about 40 minutes and is really worth looking at it! It is also
available in
VHS-NTSC and American language. It also shows Methernitha's earlier
research developments like huge wind generators.
With the Testatika there is no fraud, hidden batteries or any other
hidden energy source. It is really running! They already have the
technology of ten years ahead! No more oil, no more pollution, no
more atomic waste products, no more hunger in this world! This is
the machine the mankind has dreamed about for centuries. Now it has
come true!
More information about the Methernitha machine is also available in
the German magazine /RAUM & ZEIT/, issue Nr.40 (8).

*"Testatika Generator and Over-Unity"*
*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 19th century
electrical mumbo jumbo which makes up much of 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
capture them. Clearly this will result in a current flow according
to the capture rate, but current by itself is not power. The kinetic
energy of the particle must be captured and this will result in
potential difference or voltage. If a Beta particle enters a thin
foil conductor normal to its surface and is captured, then the
potential difference associated with giving up its kinetic energy
can be expected to occur across the opposite faces of the foil. If
however the Beta particle were turned so as to enter at a shallow
grazing angle to the surface, not only would the probability of
capture be increased (since the particle will travel further within
the material) but the potential difference will occur along the
length of the foil. Beta particles travelling even at relavistic
velocities can be turned within short distances by relatively weak
magnetic fields, so the concept shown in the following Figure
suggests itself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Methernitha Statement of Purpose ~*
*"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 termed the
non-contacting collectors of electric charges as antenna keys.
This machine puts experts, which are just trained in conventional
physics to a very hard test, because its mode of action is not
explainable with the state of the art of 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 very fundamental
concepts. Think about Galilee, to name only one example. Our human
society almost condemned this man as a sorcerer and magician, just
because he investigated and discovered a truth that seemed
unacceptable by the established science of the days.
The book knowledge of any times is not wrong, but it is incomplete,
and therefore allows to draw wrong conclusions.
We are part of a new area which brings to light many new facts and
new knowledge. The clothes of nowadays science have become too tight
and should be stripped off, just as the larva of an insect does with
its skin. Only this will allow a true metamorphosis to take its
course, and finally, at the limits and at the destination of all
worldly knowledge, an universal and unlimited spiritual science,
radiating and beautiful, just as the completed imago of an insect,
may give its blessings and benediction to a renovated humanity.
To ever reach there, a universal development of man has to take
place. This however is only possible when man becomes aware of his
true role within the whole creation, and again learns to recognise
his true tasks, because the whole universe functions within a strict
and precisely structured order according to the will and word of the
creator. Therefore also man should recognise and realise these
universal laws that are valid within the whole and within every part
of this creation.
The hard facts rather show how far man has left the divine order
through his self willed and authoritarian way of action and that he
has become the actual cause of all discord and evil on this planet.
Unfortunately the ruling bodies that should be responsible for the
well-being of the people work too often with the target to make life
more and more difficult and to render impossible every free
spiritual development.
Instead of utilising the achievements of science and technology for
the benefit and preservation of all form of life, they are abused
carelessly and irresponsibly to destroy and to kill, and thus turn
them into a curse upon mankind.
To change all this, the evolution of a new technology is not enough,
even if it were the most ecological and ingenious. To change this
present status one has to go much deeper down, to the root-cause of
all this evil, and this is mans way of thinking, his state of mind.
The ancient divine commandments are still valid today and also show
today the way and direction humanity should go, as clearly spoken by
the prophet Mica:
God has told you what is good. And what is it that the Lord asks of
you? Only to act justly, to love loyalty, to walk wisely before your
God.

*"Testatika-Distatica Machine"*
(Transcribed from the Methernitha Testatika video by Paul E Potter)

and this was already more than 20 years ago [since 1960], to

The two counter-rotating 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

>> Schumann (of terrestial resonance fame), Pr. Bragstad
>> (Trondheim), and Pr. Knudsen (Copenhagen). Kloss and Schumann
>> wrote reports explaining the physics of its operation, which
>> apparently amplified the Barkhausen Effect to a useful level. The
>> Stromzeuger was described in the BIOS report as follows: This
>> device consists of an arrangement of magnets, flat coils, and
>> copper plates, with a primary circuit energized by a small dry
>> battery. The output from the secondary was used to light a bank
>> of lamps and was claimed to be many times the original input, and
>> to continue indefinitely." Coler and von Unruh constructed a 70
>> watt model of the Stromzeuger in 1933 and demonstrated it to Dr.
>> F. Modersohn, who subsequently financed the development of the
>> invention and established the Coler Gmbh. for the purpose. In
>> 1937, Coler built a 6 KW version of the Stromzeuger. In 1942,
>> Modersohn demonstrated the device to the Research Dept. of the
>> German Navy, which intervened and supplied them with materials,
>> meters and tools. Thereafter the research was directed by
>> Oberbaurat (Naval Construction Chief) Seysen, who assigned Dr. H.
>> Frolich to assist Coler for several months. The operation of the
>> newly developed apparatus turned out to be more complicated than
>> they had first thought, but progress was made. The large
>> Stromzeuger was destroyed by a bomb which struck Coler's house in
>> Kolberg (Pomerania) in 1945. Coler had been powering his house
>> with the unit for three years. Hurst and Sandberg gave a summary
>> account of the Stromzeuger in their report:
>>
>> "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.
>>
>> "The basic element is that of an open secondary circuit, capacity
>> loaded, inductively coupled to a primary circuit. The novel
>> feature is that the capacities are connected to the secondary
>> core _through permanent magnets_, as shown in Figure 4.
>>
>> "It is claimed that, on switching on the primary circuit,
>> "separation of charges" takes place, i.e., Magnet 1 becomes
>> positively charged and Magnet 2 becomes negatively charged, and
>> that these charges are "magnetically polarized" when they are
>> formed, owing to the presence of the magnets. On switching off
>> the primary circuit a "reversing current" flows in the secondary,
>> but the magnets "do not exert a polarizing effect on this reversal".
>>
>> "Two of these basic elements are now placed together making a
>> double system or stage with the plates close together in parallel
>> planes as shown in Figure 5. The secondary windings are both
>> exactly equal and wound in a direction such that on switching on
>> the primary coil the electrons in the secondary coil flow from
>> P_1 to P_2 [P = Plate] and F_1 to F_2 [F = "Flat Spool"].
>>
>> "It is then stated that system merely has an inducing effect, and
>> the useful current comes into existence in the system.
>>
>> "A single stage cannot be effective but two stages connected so
>> that the numbers of effective North and South poles are equal
>> will provide a basic working arrangement. More double stages can
>> then be added to provide higher outputs.
>>
>> "It is then stated that as well as the normal electrons flowing
>> from the battery and from induction when the circuit is opened or
>> closed, "space electron" flow from "repelling spaces" to
>> "attracting spaces" between the plates" Professors M. Kloss and
>> R. Franke (Technical College of Berlin) tested the Stromzeuger in
>> March 1926; their report was included in BIOS Report 1043:
>>
>> "The apparatus consists of: a double row system of copper plates,
>> a double-row system of flat spools, and a system of
>> electromagnets, to whose cores silver wires are attached and
>> through which branch currents of the plate-system are conducted.
>> For each of the three systems a 3-part accumulator battery of 6
>> volts/6.5 ampere-hours capacity is provided. The plate-circuit
>> and the spool circuit are parallel so that the two batteries
>> appertaining thereto can also be replaced by a single battery.
>> This was ascertained by switching off the one battery while the
>> apparatus was working.
>>
>> "When asked why two batteries were used at all, Capt. Coler
>> declared that for starting the apparatus a double battery is
>> necessary to get a second charge-impetus after exciting with the
>> one battery, and this for releasing the peculiar character of the
>> apparatus. A test confirmed this assertion in as much as the
>> mechanism could not be started with the single battery; on the
>> contrary, the "adjustment" of the mechanism got disturbed.
>>
>> "Current-indicators are built into each of the three circuits
>> mentioned, as well as volt-meters, behind some switch resistances
>> necessary for the "adjustment". Between the open ends of the two
>> plate and spool-systems there are the terminal clamps for the
>> effective circuit for whose loading 3 bulbs of 8 volts are
>> provided. The apparatus was then put into action and above all
>> the load was tested with the aid of the built-in instruments,
>> that is on being loaded with [2-3] lamps…
>>
>> "The consumption of energy in the external circuit is greater
>> than the energy taken from the batteries. According to the
>> circuit, the magnet-exciting circuit is fed by a special battery,
>> completely separated from the other two circuits. Consequently, a
>> direct comparison of efficiency and consumption of the apparatus
>> would mean that only the sum of current of the plate circuit and
>> of the spool circuit would count.
>>
>> "The reception of current from the two batteries in this case was
>> 1.7 watt while the consumption of the bulbs amounted to about 8
>> watt. Especially striking in this connection is the considerably
>> higher current-power in the bulb-circuit being about 12 times
>> bigger than the current coming from the two batteries."
>>
>> Professor W.O. Schumann (Munich) also tested the Stromzeuger in
>> 1926; his 6-page analysis was included in an appendix of the BIOS
>> Report:
>>
>> "The apparatus in question principally consists of two parallel
>> connected spools, which being bifilarly wound in a special way,
>> are magnetically linked together. One of these spools is composed
>> of copper sheets (the spool is called the plate spool), the other
>> one of a number of thin parallel connected isolated wires
>> (called: spool winding), running parallel at small intervals to
>> the plates. Both spools can be fed by separate batteries; at
>> least two batteries are necessary to put the spools to work.
>>
>> "The spools are arranged in two halves each, according to the
>> bifilar winding system. The batteries are attached to the
>> starting points, and the current-receivers to the parallel
>> connected ends. Inter-communications are connected between
>> parallel windings of the two halves of the plate spool which
>> contain iron rods with silver connections. These rods are
>> magnetized by a special battery through applied windings (called:
>> exciter windings).
>>
>> "According to the statement of the inventor, the production of
>> energy principally takes place in these iron rods, and the
>> winding of the spools plays an important part in it (The form of
>> the spool is a long small rectangle).
>>
>> "The inventor stated that the apparatus in its installation was
>> very sensitive, especially with regard to the magnetic conditions
>> of the iron cores, and that a wrong treatment [internal
>> measurements] would cause interferences which would be wearisome
>> and very difficult to be eliminated.
>>
>> "The exciter winding is electrically completely separated from
>> the other windings...
>>
>> "Installed in the apparatus were 3 current meters for the
>> currents from the 3 batteries, and furthermore current and volt
>> meters for the current receivers. One and two bulbs respectively
>> were employed for this purpose.
>>
>> "As a striking fact it should be mentioned that the spool circuit
>> having been at first always switched on alone, received a current
>> of 104 mA. As soon as plates and exciter circuit additionally and
>> simultaneously were turned on, as, according to the inventor, the
>> apparatus demands it, the current in the spool circuit comes down
>> to about 27 mA.
>>
>> "After the present examination, carried through as carefully as
>> [possible], I must surmise that we have to face the exploitation
>> of a new source of energy whose further developments can be of an
>> immense importance. I believe that a further development of the
>> apparatus will prove justified and of great importance."
>>
>> 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

Norm, Thanks for the in depth on the Testika stuff! Based on all of the amazing out of the box technology you have worked with, for a working reliable system OU that could in theory keep up with lets say a photo-voltaic systems in sunny California what direction would you go in or what two directions might you go in? The Transverter idea looks very compelling but getting something that can behave itself with changing loads is of importance, specially if one has HVAC and well pumps etc. This static into useful EM energy looks great, was the ignition power pack a feasible way to fraction this power for this type transition also? When you used the highly quenched spark gap and shortened pulse width below the 100ms pain threshold and lower were you able to produce any of the effects such as a plasma sphere acting as a directional light beam or any of the other legendary effects?

Mick!!! You have asked a very "pregnant question" so here is my take on the whole "Energy Independence Situation"!! After over 40 years of research into the "Alternative Energy Arena", I have seen no magic "Over Unity device" using the definition of "self running"! Sure , over unity clearly exist but has not produced a totally "self running prototype" Nada! Our MRA was over unity but "not self runner"! You asked, "of all the available technology, what would you recommend"!! Under our Vortex Energy System, I wrote an "abstract" which will give you a clue! BTW! I did a prototype study of this technology and it proved totally feasible for you to "thrive totally from our environment", separated from the grid. Read this abstract! Abstract Within the “VES”the “prime objective” for “extraordinary thermal efficiency” is the “scavenging”, transport and utilization of all “sensible” and “latent” heat that is available in the overall scope of operation of any given plant or operation.The “Implosion Vortex Turbine” (carbon/carbon composite construction) in its many configurations and usages provides us the ability to achieve Industrial Heat Pumping capability employing the “Mechanical Vapor Re-compression" technology, (MVR). Since our “vapor driven” turbine operates at relatively low temperatures through the use of ‘selected” refrigerants we are able to maintain a fairly low “thermal lift requirement” therefore can “very conservatively” operate at a COP of 20:1. (COP: “coefficient of performance” which can be further defined as the ratio of power needed to transport a given amount of thermal energy in BTU s vs. the input energy in kilowatts. This means that at a 20:1 ratio we only require an electrical input of one kilowatt to move a BTU equivalent of 20 kilowatts) The MVR COP is dictated by the “lift” requirement between stages or the temp differential across the operation. Very “low lift”MVR (Industrial) systems have achieved phenomenal COPs of 40:1.High “thermal lift” requirements see a COP down to 6:1 as seen with your domestic heat pumps.Our system operates at a moderate lift requirement.This technology is directly used to “obviate” the requirement for cooling towers and heat ex changers to get rid of what is known as waste heat.Never, ever waste heat for heat is “potential energy” and if properly handled and conserved can be accumulated and converted into power.All of the sensible heat and latent heat (heat of condensation, water=144 BTU/#) can be re-cycled leaving the air and water of the plant scenario at ‘ambient or below”. In a conventional steam turbine operation, 90 percent of the fresh filtered water that went into the “steam raising plant” and passes through the power turbine en-route to the “now replaced cooling tower” is fully recovered and recycled back to the front to the process as clean potable filtered water.The feed water and cooling water requirements are almost eliminated in the overall plant for we “scavenge heat from all sources including “solar input”, “Ambient air” “latent heat in air” (water vapor) and “grey water” heat recovery.If you have to wear an overcoat in one of our facilities in the summer time that is a good sign we are doing our job in heat recovery.“HEAT is ENERGY” and can be converted into additional useful power. Our system utilized three different refrigerants, each with unique characteristics for a "cascade heat recover scenario". Tesla turbines, due to their super high efficiencies with unique designs are used as power generation prime movers, vacuum pumps, water pumps and refrigerant condensation pumps. The average home has the following "heat energy" sources available. Direct solar, all sensible heat, plus "latent heat" (atmospheric moisture) (144 BTU/# of water) (all of your potable water needs), grey water, ground heat source and even the "human input"! With the required "capitol investment", yes! you could cut loose from the grid. Coastal areas with high relative humidity is a real "plus" (latent heat recovery) here. Desert climates have the additional advantages of high ambient & solar input. "As I see it"!! Norm PS: of all the study we have done on the EV Gray, RV, TRV technology, we find that we can extend battery life on RVs etc but not Over unity results.

Hi Norm Don't forget your experiment with the Rotovertor-motor spun PMI DC Servo motor (you sent me some of those!) This DC "pancalke" motor spun and belt and pullied up to high rpms (I think 14,000rpm it was) and you reported some overunity comparing input watts to ouptu watts upon loading the DC motor and although things got hot it was pretty good test... Seems to me all "we need" Is generator that does not display lenz law braking action upon loading such as this simple test here below in links, and what you saw too at that 14.000rpm approx...the prime mover/motor can be just about anything efficient: I will guess your RV-PMIDC servo motor experiment worked for same reason shown and explained here - as certain rpm and impedance of coils will "Delay" the lenz braking effect to happen upon upcoming or trailing-edge of rotor magnets... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24I12hrpTDY&t=158s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24I12hrpTDY&t=158s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVFXSZzUNmE&t=57s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVFXSZzUNmE&t=57s

Norm, Very elegant way to proceed on a system one could rely on without having to be ones own utility engineer. A staged system with different refrigerants and pressures or vacuums depending on the radiant environmental temperature scalar. Perhaps one day we could speak in depth concerning your experiments and experiences... After you were able to get the Tesla fire energy with the highly quenched spark gap what interesting effects and experiments did you run besides the nominal electrical sandblaster on ones skin? Were you ever in touch with Ron Brandt with his interesting AC motors? I don't believe I have seen a Tesla patent with the reverse flyback windings on the phases as with Brandt's designs. If we could create a steady state load in order to buffer something like an RV or TV or MRA and then as Warren has mentioned before build an Arduino device to handle turning on the device and tuning it to output to something like this may be ready for prime time. The problem is the big enough flywheel or water tower or whatever storage medium one can rely upon no to deviate enough to destroy the effect. I am sure a gap in understanding of these process foibles provides an overtly optimistic personal outlook. Maybe just a large grain silo and the proper Schaberger vortex thermodynamics or low pressure Ranque Hilsch effect could self run on most warm days. I also like the static electricity harvesting concepts many have claimed as useful as a secondary, top off source. Suzanne Guillemette's static pump has some very interesting claims for the type of static power coming out claiming a bare wire can touch the ground or be immersed in water and not lose ability to work. Likely not useful in high humidity, but if this Testika machine has powered this commune for years... how reliable and real... there seems little firsthand knowledge. I think Mr Bowman was in the beginning interested in mass marketing his invention but likely received the threatening visitors or is just insanely paranoid as are the few of the inventors I have met, on the cusp of something they felt was paradigm shifting. Or just plain crazy from chasing an idea with no reliable normal income stream. As for your Tesla turbine driven by a refrigerant at a phase change bifurcation point I am assuming, I think it's a marvelous way to go. Have also considered a conical boundary layer turbine so a bit of a cross between the Schauberger and Tesla concept. Your abstract refers to a vortex also so this is again intriguing. One of your projects was a hydroxy generator. In water alone be it external static charge of the Faraday dropper, vortex, cavitation, gas production so many ramifications for energy in this one substance it could account for several lifetimes of study. Right now watching one of the daily storm extravaganzas in South America as the heat from the valley rises 9000ft into the Andes dumping tons of water and megajoules of lightening. So much energy available by simply throwing the ambient out of equilibrium. Impedance dropping enough every few seconds to bridge the troposphere to ground.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Thanks for posting this Norman Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network. -------- Original message -------- From: "Norman Wootan [email protected] [EVGRAY]" <[email protected]> Date: 2017-12-08 12:49 PM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EVGRAY] Most lightning active point on planet Mick!!! You have asked a very "pregnant question" so here is my take on the whole "Energy Independence Situation"!! After over 40 years of research into the "Alternative Energy Arena", I have seen no magic "Over Unity device" using the definition of "self running"! Sure , over unity clearly exist but has not produced a totally "self running prototype" Nada! Our MRA was over unity but "not self runner"! You asked, "of all the available technology, what would you recommend"!! Under our Vortex Energy System, I wrote an "abstract" which will give you a clue! BTW! I did a prototype study of this technology and it proved totally feasible for you to "thrive totally from our environment", separated from the grid. Read this abstract! Abstract Within the “VES”the “prime objective” for “extraordinary thermal efficiency” is the “scavenging”, transport and utilization of all “sensible” and “latent” heat that is available in the overall scope of operation of any given plant or operation. The “Implosion Vortex Turbine” (carbon/carbon composite construction) in its many configurations and usages provides us the ability to achieve Industrial Heat Pumping capability employing the “Mechanical Vapor Re-compression" technology, (MVR). Since our “vapor driven” turbine operates at relatively low temperatures through the use of ‘selected” refrigerants we are able to maintain a fairly low “thermal lift requirement” therefore can “very conservatively” operate at a COP of 20:1. (COP: “coefficient of performance” which can be further defined as the ratio of power needed to transport a given amount of thermal energy in BTU s vs. the input energy in kilowatts. This means that at a 20:1 ratio we only require an electrical input of one kilowatt to move a BTU equivalent of 20 kilowatts) The MVR COP is dictated by the “lift” requirement between stages or the temp differential across the operation. Very “low lift”MVR (Industrial) systems have achieved phenomenal COPs of 40:1. High “thermal lift” requirements see a COP down to 6:1 as seen with your domestic heat pumps. Our system operates at a moderate lift requirement. This technology is directly used to “obviate” the requirement for cooling towers and heat ex changers to get rid of what is known as waste heat. Never, ever waste heat for heat is “potential energy” and if properly handled and conserved can be accumulated and converted into power. All of the sensible heat and latent heat (heat of condensation, water=144 BTU/#) can be re-cycled leaving the air and water of the plant scenario at ‘ambient or below”. In a conventional steam turbine operation, 90 percent of the fresh filtered water that went into the “steam raising plant” and passes through the power turbine en-route to the “now replaced cooling tower” is fully recovered and recycled back to the front to the process as clean potable filtered water. The feed water and cooling water requirements are almost eliminated in the overall plant for we “scavenge heat from all sources including “solar input”, “Ambient air” “latent heat in air” (water vapor) and “grey water” heat recovery. If you have to wear an overcoat in one of our facilities in the summer time that is a good sign we are doing our job in heat recovery. “HEAT is ENERGY” and can be converted into additional useful power. Our system utilized three different refrigerants, each with unique characteristics for a "cascade heat recover scenario". Tesla turbines, due to their super high efficiencies with unique designs are used as power generation prime movers, vacuum pumps, water pumps and refrigerant condensation pumps. The average home has the following "heat energy" sources available. Direct solar, all sensible heat, plus "latent heat" (atmospheric moisture) (144 BTU/# of water) (all of your potable water needs), grey water, ground heat source and even the "human input"! With the required "capitol investment", yes! you could cut loose from the grid. Coastal areas with high relative humidity is a real "plus" (latent heat recovery) here. Desert climates have the additional advantages of high ambient & solar input. "As I see it"!! Norm PS: of all the study we have done on the EV Gray, RV, TRV technology, we find that we can extend battery life on RVs etc but not Over unity results.

The Transverter idea looks very compelling but getting something that can behave itself with changing loads is of importance, specially if one has HVAC and well pumps etc. This static into useful EM energy looks great, was the ignition power pack a feasible way to fraction this power for this type transition also? When you used the highly quenched spark gap and shortened pulse width below the 100ms pain threshold and lower were you able to produce any of the effects such as a plasma sphere acting as a directional light beam or any of the other legendary effects?

I had the 5200 sq. ft. Research Lab in Dawson, TX built to prototype my Hydrogen Reactor for GAZPROM, Russia. Ken Hawkins (partner) lived in San Antonia and had an apartment in Allen, TX where he worked for Sage Communications. We had visited Dr. John Milewski at Albuquerque,NM where he was experimenting with Herkimer diamonds (twin point quartz crystals) which Ken want to develop a new "super-luminal" communication method. Paul Walker & Ken worker on the ignition power pack driven method of creating the "Tesla Fire" ( white flame) using the timing circuit. We flew down to El Paso and visited a group doing the very same thing at the time. I went the alternate route to make the Tesla Fire by building the famous "dissruptor transformer" (Tesla) and using "unidirectional DC" discharge across very powerful magnetic quench spark gap to get the desired results with the attendant,"unsheildable" penetrating shock and Tesla fire. we all played with the flourescent tubes and plasma tube with magnets. The use of magnetic fields to convert "Static electricity", Holtz & Whimshurst machines is evidenced by the Baumann Testatika.

Here is a report from Hans Holzherr from Switzerland who was present: Hello Mr. Hartmann, To your questions: > Have you seen live a machine with a load? If so, what load? I am referring in the following to the model with the 50-cm diameter disks. This machine was already running when the visitors stepped into the room, and was not halted during the whole time --- we were there for about 1.5 hrs. As a first load a 1000-Watt lamp was connected for approximately 10 seconds whose brightness did NOT diminish --- the corresponding sequence on the Testatika film is just an effect of the camera aperture's automatic adjusting to the sudden brightness! The second load was a U-shaped heating element, that Mr.Baumann handed to me. It became so hot within one second that I had to put it down immediately! What was particularly impressive was that while he pulled back one of the contact wires (that was with the lamp, I believe), a 1-cm long arc appeared between the output electrode and the connecting wire for approximately one second. The apparatus was under a plexiglass hood. Near the base it had two holes which Baumann used to insert the contact wires to touch the output electrodes. How do you think the high wattage is produced ? Good question! I'd love to know the answer, too! Did the disks slow down when a load was placed across the output electrodes ? I did not notice that (nobody else did), but of course you tend to turn your look to 'where the action is' (the lamp etc.) The disks turned with 15 rpm, which is quite slow. The spin rate was regulated magnetically. What general impression did you have ? It was really impressive! One can hardly believe it, with this slow rotation. In any case, this cannot be explained in terms of bare electrostatics in the sense of the Wimshurst machine. The perforated sheets seem to have a key function... Beside the pick-up and the drive electrodes there are a number of small plexiglass blocks with glued-on perforated sheets, whose function is unknown. As Adolf Schneider already mentioned, my colleague Bernhard XXX and I want to try to copy the principle experiment shown by Baumann --- without much hope to find anything extraordinary, though. The device consists of a horizontal swiveling plexiglass arm with a small rectangular plexiglass plate at both ends glued to the lower side of the arm. The lower side of the arm is covered with perforated aluminum sheets (square holes), while the bottom of the plates is covered with brass wire mesh. Beneath each plate five additional plates are glued onto the base plate. There is also wire mesh between each pair of plates in the two blocks. From the mesh layer between the lowest plate and the base a wire goes to the two capacitors, which are connected in parallel . Baumann seized the arm with both hands and turned it about ten times back and forth (a full rotation was not possible, because the capacitors were in the way), then measured the DC voltage with a digital measuring instrument: 60 Volts. Then, as he short-circuited the condensers a loud crack could be heard. I don´t know if that already is an abnormal result... On my question Baumann replied that with metal foil (instead of wire mesh) the device would not produce that effect.

Potter http://website.lineone.net/~aarekhu/index.html<http://website.lineone.net/%7Eaarekhu/index.html> (Copyright 2000) That the Swiss Methernitha group's Testatika machine is thought to be based on a Wimshurst electrostatic generator, is only a sparse approximation of the truth --- of the great multitude of electrostatic influence machines developed around the 1900's it more closely follows the charge-separation-and-collection system used by the 1898 Pidgeon machine [note 1] for its electrical circuit. Its 50-per-disc steel grilles or 'gitter-grilles' are plainly unique to the Methernitha (see fig.1) but in principle follow on from previous research and patents for corrugated sectors which were found to be more efficient charge carriers [note 2] than flat ones, and from a similar example in more recent times of aluminium rods extending out like wheel spokes from an insulating hub of perspex [note 3]. Another unique function of these perforated grilles attached to the discs is how they induce charge from the rotating discs onto the special collecting pads, or 'tasten' antennae keys (which are also perforated --- so as to more readily pick up charge); for in a Wimshurst you had conductive brushes or rails of sharp points which actually touched the discs or were placed very close to them, but in the Methernitha the charge has to be made to traverse a parallel air-gap to the pads and for this purpose the metal gitter-grilles are so designed to create miniature eddy-currents of charged air which circulate in and out of the perforated metal's surface charges, and are more easily bounced out to the collecting pads. This process is categorised as VARIABLE CAPACITANCE electrostatic generation. Careful note needs to be made of how the Methernitha uses its basically Pidgeon setup with regard to its neutralising rods (that equalise and stabilise the opposite charges --- see fig.2), and how charges are picked up from one area and accumulated at others, so that the polarities of charge are distributed correctly to specific areas on both discs [note 4]. And although there have been some fanciful claims, or misinformation, that it uses all sorts of radioactive materials to achieve its pulsed output I most strongly believe that the auxiliary electromagnetic circuit, that wraps itself around the rotating discs, portrays a simple electronic approach; afterall, who would use radium radioactive emission alongside leyden jar capacitors ! Indeed, the more you look into certain elements of its construction the more they point to three main eras of electronics development, the 1900's, the 1920's and the 1950/60's. The authentic Methernitha was designed and developed by purists who believed they had discovered a previously unknown electronic phenomenon, but they wanted to keep an integrity to the early pioneering days of the Pidgeon, Wimshurst and Holtz electrostatic machinery; they would not use such modern devices as transistors or IC chips (more's the pity) --- but they do use some pretty uncommon electronic engineering in their circuit [note 5]. Obviously, the electronics are in two parts; one --- the electrostatic generator and its particular technologies of how to direct what charge where, and two --- the very unique auxiliary electromagnetic circuit of inductances, capacitances and rectification that mobilises that 'static' electricity. To understand how they convert static energy into an electromotive force you would do well to go back to the earliest years of radio. From the pages of spark radio you soon appreciate just how important oscillation circuits and their valve rectifiers were, and moreover, how difficult it proved to engineer them. For although radio transmitters and receivers from the 1900's used resonating circuits their oscillations were controlled by sparks between two contacts and, of course, they were relatively inefficient. Not until the 1920's did the first electric current oscillations become an observable controlled phenomenon when someone coupled a rectifier valve, a capacitor, and a resistor together [note 6]. The early 1920's also saw the best era of experimentation and invention for novel devices that turned static energy into useable electromagnetic energy; it was in a 1921 patent that we see a German physicist Hermann Plauson describe in great detail his methods to convert static power, not only from rotary influence machines but also from balloons collecting atmospheric electricity up in the sky; and by using thermionic rectifiers, leyden jar capacitors and inductor coils he proposed a free-energy network that was to power the whole of Germany [note 7] ! The thermionic rectifier valve heralded a new era for radio and high voltage physics, and as it was then subjected to such a broad array of experiments and modifications to improve its efficiency so it paved the way for all sorts of new avenues in electronics. Indeed, with such a technical catalogue of similarities with what we see in the available photographs of Testatika it can be assumed without doubt that the horizontal glass tube which sits on top of the Methernitha machines is exactly what a home-made vacuum thermionic rectifying valve would look like; with its internal anode mesh-plate, surrounded by a coiled copper grid, fed by a glowing (heated) cathode wire running horizontally across its centre and capped by two black end-pieces, which are too big and bulbous to be mere end-caps and must surely be black rubber vacuum seals to seal the glass tube and the input/output wires [note 8]. With such a rectifier, some induction coils, and some leyden jar capacitors you have a circuit that oscillates, and that's what has to happen with a Methernitha, the electromagnetic circuit has to oscillate for it to work, and then the oscillations have to be rectified (or even modulated) so that the resulting single-pole pulses can be channeled through the big cans, which are basically high-efficiency transformers, and outputted as reduced voltage higher current DC pulses (see fig.3). The precise components used to oscillate the primary oscillating circuit are, I believe, not to be seen in any of the available photographs, but there are various hints for their approximate whereabouts on the machine. Firstly, according to electronic design there should be a capacitor and coil configuration in close proximity to the rectifier. Well, from the picture "3KWREAR" can be seen the two long upright tubes which, according to those who have seen them first-hand, comprise a spirally turned aluminium strip (which indicates they are chokes [note 9]) inside a glass tube, inside the same sort of outer shielding that the big cans have (which indicates they are electrostatic shields), inside yet another glass tube, and are terminated at the top with a brass connecting rod which does a right-angled turn and passes into the side of the tower --- but only two-thirds up the height of the tower. These two assemblies must form a connection to the rectifier, because the rectifier is at the top of the tower, so why don't these electrostatically sensitive tubes extend all the way up to it ? Again, from the photographs of the rear and front of the Methernithas there is a wire that comes out of the tower's side wall at about 4 inches above the upright's brass terminals and this wire then passes through a short black tube and on to the rectifier valve. This, of course, would happen on both sides of the tower, enabling a connection to both ends of the rectifier. But why have this 4 inch gap of connections at the top of the tower ? Something is placed inside the top of the tower in this intermediate space which is very necessary to the circuit, and I think it must be the location of the capacitor/inductor configuration to oscillate the circuit. This (fig.4) is how I would see the inside of the top of the towers [note 10]. I've seen some of the patented inventions that rotate discs --- by using magnets (i.e., H.Rosenberg's permanent magnet excited rotational machine, US Patent # 3,411,027 ), and by utilising inscribed metalised discs (US Patent # 3,239,705 for instance), but there simply isn't enough room for these to be located in the Methernitha disc setup --- also, you don't want to interfere with the ES fields that zip around the revolving discs: From the reports of those who have seen the small machines working it appears their discs were rotated by small DC electric motors after they were hand-started, some re-wound with thinner wire (to presumably increase their torque) and powered directly from the discs' generated electricity --- but I have also seen how two discs can continue to rotate simply by careful placement of curved electrodes [note 11] which would act on the charges on the discs --- like the 3kw Testatica Distatica generators. After reading through the many early accounts of electrostatic rotary machines, and some of the more recent ones, you can't help but be puzzled by the Methernitha's incredibly low rotational speed of just 60 rpm (and in the 1999 engineers 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 incredible phenomenon has never been replicated by any 'outside researcher', and is said to be the basis by which the Methernitha machine could be understood how to work [the clue, possibly, to this Principle Experiment may be variable-capacitance and dielectric-absorpsion]. But what, I hear you say, is an electron cascade... Well, it was only by chance, very recently, that I happened to listen 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 applied a high frequency, high voltage alternating field 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 smaller amounts of potential, thus depending less on complicated insulating procedures that accompany high voltage single primary / single secondary transformers. 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 charges, and the solid copper cylinder is to shield the large amount of stray electromagnetic fields produced by the transforming process from high voltage/low current to lower voltage/higher current [note 20]. Obviously they don't want field contamination taking place between the sensitive electrostatic generator and the transformers. Within these two outside shielding-cylinders are 'grid condensers' which, according to the 1999 report by the 30 engineers, can be as many as 20 layers of perforated sheet (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 secondary coil collects the maximum amount of voltage created by that secondary. This configuration of one condenser inside another inside another etc etc, has a striking similarity to the layout of a pulse forming network [see note 18]. In the red wired can the transformer is wired to output negative, and the blue wired can's transformer is wired to output positive polarity. Special note should be made of a similar arrangement for divided primary / secondary windings devised by Van de Graaff in his 'High Voltage Electromagnetic Charged-Particle Accelerator Apparatus Having an Insulating Magnetic Core' [note 21] with respect to magnetic reluctance gaps. Whilst it has been said that the clear perspex disc was designated the 'cloud' disc, and the (rear) dark disc the 'ground' disc I would think this relates to different types of acrylics or plastics that might become charged to different polarities, as in the triboelectric series, where frictional charging of different plastics --- and then bringing them close together, might cause donation or acceptance from one to the other; I would think from the above that cloud represents a donator (positive charge) and that ground must mean an acceptor (negative charge). Has anyone tried the combination of a teflon disc (extremely negative charge) with a glass disc (highly positive charge) ? Or discs doped with paramagnetic particles perhaps [note 22] ?

Note 2 --- See "Modern High Speed Influence Machines" by V.E. Johnson, 1921, p. 76. Johnson was not only a researcher of electrostatic machines but was also an innovative constructor of them, and as such was keen to try any technique that made his generators more powerful than even the specialised Wommelsdorf multi-disc condenser machines. This book is an absolute must for those who wish to work in this field. Another 'must' is the website of Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz ( http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html<http://www.coe.ufrj.br/%7Eacmq/electrostatic.html> ) which is absolutely full of information about (and with links to) present-day developments in electrostatic machines. Note 3 --- See "Self-Excited, Alternating, High-Voltage Generation Using A Modified Electrostatic Influence Machine" by M.Zahn, et al., American Journal of Physics, Vol 42 (1974) p. 289. Note 4 The Methernitha designers have taken a basic Pidgeon electric field system and added a few modifications of their own, partly to lock a certain polarity of charge to a certain area so as to stabilise it, and also to boost certain areas with charge. As in their use, for example, of an extra field plate located at the top-centre in front of the front disc (just under the rectifying valve), note also that this plate, or antennae key, is indirectly coupled to the rest of the circuit, via a coil setup. Much the same occurs with the two plates slightly below it, these plates are connected to a brass terminal which connects to a copper wire that goes down and winds in a coil shape around a hollow plastic tube, and inside the tube will be another wire or small coil that draws off the electric charge. So these three plates are using not direct connection but induction to get their charge. Note 5 ------- By looking at how each of the photographed machines have been constructed you can see that these are high quality crafted structures. I would think each would start off as sub-assemblies fitted together by pairs or small groups of members, those sub-assemblies of wooden base, big cans, perspex framework, discs with bearings and axles, when completed would be passed on to the electrical engineers of the community who would then fit the wiring connections, vacuum tube rectifier and make sure that not only did they work but that they looked like a work of art. Note 6 --- The Fleming valve had been around since 1905 and while it progressed to the thermionic valve and audion, by 1922 the ‘Pearson and Anson Effect’ was discovered whereby oscillating currents could be produced with a resistor, capacitor and thermionic valve coupled together.

He also wrote a book of the subject titled "Gewinnung und Verwertung der Atmospharischen Elektrizitat" in 1920 in German (which is currently held in the British Library). Note 8 --- Whilst some have seen the smaller 300 Watt machine’s discharger/rectifier quite open and not encased in a vacuum tube the vacuum tube models would be much more efficient and would waste less current. Also, the rectifier tube must have a heated filament (which on the 3KW machines can be seen as a glowing line running the whole length of the grid and coil assembly between the two black end caps, and in the films you can see faint flashes coming from behind the rectifier so possibly the filament is wrapped around the other side of the grid/coil assembly as well). Coolridge, back in the 1900’s, discovered that no discharge from the cathode to the anode would occur, even at 100,000 volts, unless the filament was heated (Physics Review, Vol. 2, Dec 1913, p. 418). Aluminium mesh will give off electrons quite readily and can be used as a cold cathode --- but a heated cathode offers the advantage of being able to control the oscillations. Note 9 --- The two long upright tubes are without doubt choke coil assemblies in precisely the right place to slow down the current where it gets oscillated and rectified. In a choke the higher the flow of current the greater will be its resistance to that current flow. An even better form of choke will have some form of iron core inside it. Note 10 --- I have come up with 6 different circuits for this oscillation section, some of which include small quartz crystals. (See notes 13 and 16 on frequency of oscillation). The black dial at the rear of the 3kw machine is most likely to select a variety of capacitances so as to control the oscillations of the circuit, which in turn control disc rotational speed. Note 11 --- The phenomenon of electrostatic motors has been well researched over the years (see "Electrostatic Motors" O. Jefimenko in "Physics Teacher" Vol. 9, March 1971, p. 121-9, and in "Electrostatics And Its Applications" by A.D. Moore (1973) p. 131-147; "Electrostatic Motors" by B.Bollee in "Philips Tech. Review" Vol 30 (1969), p. 178-194). The Methernitha Testatika generators (see a recent report by 30 engineers) auto-rotate, after they have been started by hand, by the same principles of these ES motors. Note 12 --- J.G.Trump worked for the US Air Force and pioneered some highly efficient electrostatic machines around the 1960’s (see"Electrostatic Sources of Electric Power" in "Elec. Eng." 66:525, June 1947; and "High Voltage Generation in Space:The Parametric Electrostatic Machine" in "Progr. Astronaut. Rocketry" (vol 3 --- Energy Conversion for Space Power) 1961 p745). Note 13 --- Although the ‘Linden Experiment’ was thought to register a frequency of 80-140 MHz this does not necessarily mean that the Methernitha generators would oscillate at that rate also. Such a frequency seems unnecessarily high. Note 14 --- See "Plasma --- The Fourth State of Matter" by D.A. Frank-Kamenetskii (1972) pp10, and Dr.Patrick Flanagan’s US patents 4,743,275 (May 10, 1988) and 4,391,773 (Jul 5, 1983). Note 15 --- The effect is very similar to the converging forces in a non-uniform field, the oscillating perspex blocks become one ‘electrode’ and the surrounding air in the room becomes the opposite ‘electrode’, and by the processes of electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis the electrically charged particles in the air (the electrons and negative ions) are drawn toward the central electrode, which in this case is the perspex block assembly (see "Nonuniform Electric Fields" by Herbert A. Pohl in "Scientific American" (Dec 1960) p. 107-8). I am much more inclined to believe that the ingenuity of the design of these types of machines comes from physicists and not electronic engineers. Note 16 --- Dr. Flanagan actually uses the electron field generator in his own special ionizer (see Method of Purifying Air and Negative Field Generator US Patent 4,391,773). How does an electron cascade generator work, I would think that while you have an alternating electron movement (and Dr. Flanagan reckons this effect occurs with a high voltage field alternating at above 20 KHz) at the metal electrodes, the perspex blocks sandwiched between them would transfer the electricity not through their mass but around it, as surface charge --- actually in the layer of air right next to the insulator’s surface. Its the same principle as dielectric absorption - the perspex blocks don't discharge themselves fast enough to keep up with the alternating voltage and so they accumulate more and more charge --- until it forms as a layer of charge on the insulator's surface. This means that at a high enough frequency the surface-air molecules polarize, with the more mobile electrons separating from the slower bulks of those molecules and while the electrons get thrusted back and forth a secondary layer of (slower) positive air ions develops, and so on, and the process of high voltage high frequency polarization triggers the electron avalanche effect. In the event that the perspex blocks are indeed ELECTRETS (as free-energy researcher Geoff Egel and others suggest) I would think that they would work in a similar fashion to the above process, of dielectric absorption that charges up the blocks before they produce the cascade-effect. Because in the electret the electrons charged into the perspex/plastic, and the positive ions, would still be manipulated by the reversing electromagnetic field in such a way as to orientate (as with dipoles) back and forth, to eventually reach the point (if the whole circuit is tuned properly) where they would attain resonance with the immediate air surrounding them. And if this effect is similar to an inductance then possibly a back-emf will result also, to increase the output voltage. Either way I believe the effect will still be an electron cascade through the environment and the product of this oscillating output (at the blocks) could similarly be drawn off and accumulated in the multi-layered base capacitor network. I would suggest that a test program to find the best type of blocks would be; One --- try different types of plastic/acrylic/ceramic materials for the blocks. Two --- try different methods of electrifying the plastics (as with electrets). Three --- try plastics doped with semiconducting particles. Four - try plastics doped with paramagnetic particles. Five - try hollow plastic blocks containing an electrolytic fluid. More information on plastics will be found on the Electret vs Dielectric Absorption Page. Note 17 --- There are several definitions of Bifilar, one where the wires cancel out their magnetic fields, and one where the wires are wound to ensure a tight low-loss magnetic flux coupling, in this case you need all the magnetic flux you can get so it must be the latter --- See "Transformers For Electronic Circuits" by Nathan R. Grossner (1967), p. 224 etc. Most commonly used magnetic metal is Mumetal, which is an easily saturable magnetic material, routing magnetic flux through it rather than in the surrounding air, so as to enhance the mutual induction between the two coilings of red wire around the horseshoe legs. Note 18 --- So that the machine's output voltage doesn't drain away when it is connected up to a large load, what is needed here is a Pulse Forming Network (or artificial delay line). "Such a network is an improvement on simple capacitor storage because of the cascading action from one capacitor to the next along the chain. At the beginning, all capacitors are charged to the same voltage but as soon as the first one starts to loose voltage, the one behind it is then free to discharge into it. This topping-up action, which trickles down the network from capacitor to capacitor, is the mechanism by which the voltage across the output terminals tends to hold onto its original level." (see "High Energy Discharge Systems" A.P.Stephenson, Electronics Today International, March 1992, pp. 24-26). Note 19 --- When voltage of a high potential and high frequency flows along a wire it does so on the outer surface (called the ‘skin effect’) and so the Methernitha would use thick wiring or even 1/8" tubing to connect its circuit. Note 20 --- Two references for shielding are: "A Shielded Loop" by S. Goldman in "Electronics" Vol 11 (1938), pp. 20-22; and "Measurements in Radio Engineering" by F.E. Terman (1935), p. 218 & p. 341. Note 21 --- For information on maximum voltage in the center of a secondary coil see "A Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy" by J. Erskine-Murray (1913) p. 42; and an article called "Dielectric Hysteresis at Radio Frequencies" by E.F.W. Alexanderson in "Proc. I.R.E., Vol. 2 (June 1914) p137-157. For Van de Graaff's transformer see US patents 3,323,069 (May 30, 1967) and 3,187,208 (June 1, 1965). These patents were not just for a Van de Graaff high voltage generator, they were for a special system devised by Van de Graaff long after his generator had been in use to convert static electricity into current electricity. This system may be a little too complicated for the Methernitha but, nevertheless, the principles he used for multiple primary / secondary windings may be of some interest. Note 22 --- Dr. Flanagan modified his insulator blocks, made of resin, by doping them with paramagnetic granules (such as silicon carbide) to enhance even more the electron cascade effect; which is an idea that the physicist Thomas Townsend Brown first experimented with (by using lead oxide granules) in his US Patent 3,187,206 (June 1, 1965) to good effect. The surrounding air could also be ‘enhanced’ in similar fashion to polarise it's electric charge and improve its side of the performance (for those interested in the ‘physics’ of this see an article by W.A.Douglas Rudge "On Some Sources of Disturbance of the Normal Atmospheric Potential Gradient" in Proc. Royal Soc. A, Vol. 90 (1914) pp. 571, etc). Note 23 --- Some other generators with similarities to the Testatika machine are the "Electrostatic Energy Field Power Generating System" invented by William W. Hyde (US Patent 4,897,592 of Jan 30, 1990) is a rotor/stator variable capacitance machine capable of producing 300 KV. Other such generators are; "Parametric Electric Machine" invented by Ferdinand Cap (US Patent 4,622,510 of Nov 11, 1986) which has a series resonant (LCR) circuit structured into it so that it oscillates --- and indeed operates AT RESONANCE to ensure a high output; "Electrostatic Generator" invented by Dan B. Le May, et al. (US Patent 3,094,653 of Jun 18 1963) is a very ingenious system of variable capacitance; the "Electrostatic Machine" by Noel Felici (US Patent 2,522,106 of Sep 12, 1950) is a good standard which utilizes a valve rectifier; and the "Electrostatic Generator" by William S. Spencer (US Patent 1,415,779 of May 9, 1922) is an early rotor/stator generator which transferred its electric impulses through a transformer to produce a higher current output.

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. [http://www.rexresearch.com/testatik/principl.jpg] 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.

The first really running "free energy" machine coming from Switzerland, Europe. It was developed over a 20 years Research period by a religious group called: METHERNITHA. This group lives in CH-3517 Linden, Switzerland. The inventor of this superb machine, Mr.Paul Baumann claims, its running principle was found by studying the lightning effects from nature. And here are the facts : * Testatika is an influence-type Wimhurst machine which runs on it's own energy, once started by counterclock revolving it's 2 dics by hand !!! * Testatika not only runs on it' own energy, but produces also a huge amount of excess power, at least 3 KWATTS of power! That is enough to supply a one-person apartment with one machine! * The machine you see during this demo-animation is only about 70 cm wide, 40 cm deep and about 60 cm tall ! * It delivers DC-Voltage ranging from 270 til 320 Volts, only depending on the dryness of the air! At this voltage it can supply at least 10 Amperes of DC-current ! * Testatika is not a perpetuum mobile, but an energy machine that collects it's huge amount of "FREE" energy from the charged and ionized air particles. But there are still some technological tricks implemented to overcome the normal drag-resistance of a conventional Wimhurst machine, which is still the secret of the Methernitha group !!! When will this technology be available for everyone? The Testatika machines, (there already exists also some smaller units which only deliver about 200-300 Watts) are not yet mass-production type models! They are still laboratory prototype units, although they are build with a very good craftmansship ! For more info contact directly: METHERNITHA, CH-3517 LINDEN, Switzerland TEL.-Nr.: ++ 41 31 97 11 24 The pictures are from some photos and from a video-tape Methernitha sells. It shows the machines (also the smaler ones) and explains also Methernitha's spiritual aims. The tape has a running length of about 40 minutes and is really worth looking at it! It is also available in VHS-NTSC and American language. It also shows Methernitha's earlier research developments like huge wind generators. With the Testatika there is no fraud, hidden batteries or any other hidden energy source. It is really running! They already have the technology of ten years ahead! No more oil, no more pollution, no more atomic waste products, no more hunger in this world! This is the machine the mankind has dreamed about for centuries. Now it has come true! More information about the Methernitha machine is also available in the German magazine RAUM & ZEIT, issue Nr.40 (8). ________________________________ Jean L. Naudin Labs (4 February 1998) ~ "Testatika Generator and Over-Unity" 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 19th century electrical mumbo jumbo which makes up much of 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 capture them. Clearly this will result in a current flow according to the capture rate, but current by itself is not power. The kinetic energy of the particle must be captured and this will result in potential difference or voltage. If a Beta particle enters a thin foil conductor normal to its surface and is captured, then the potential difference associated with giving up its kinetic energy can be expected to occur across the opposite faces of the foil. If however the Beta particle were turned so as to enter at a shallow grazing angle to the surface, not only would the probability of capture be increased (since the particle will travel further within the material) but the potential difference will occur along the length of the foil. Beta particles travelling even at relavistic velocities can be turned within short distances by relatively weak magnetic fields, so the concept shown in the following Figure suggests itself. [http://www.rexresearch.com/testatik/betacapt.jpg] ________________________________ Methernitha Statement of Purpose ~ "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 termed the non-contacting collectors of electric charges as antenna keys. This machine puts experts, which are just trained in conventional physics to a very hard test, because its mode of action is not explainable with the state of the art of 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 very fundamental concepts. Think about Galilee, to name only one example. Our human society almost condemned this man as a sorcerer and magician, just because he investigated and discovered a truth that seemed unacceptable by the established science of the days. The book knowledge of any times is not wrong, but it is incomplete, and therefore allows to draw wrong conclusions. We are part of a new area which brings to light many new facts and new knowledge. The clothes of nowadays science have become too tight and should be stripped off, just as the larva of an insect does with its skin. Only this will allow a true metamorphosis to take its course, and finally, at the limits and at the destination of all worldly knowledge, an universal and unlimited spiritual science, radiating and beautiful, just as the completed imago of an insect, may give its blessings and benediction to a renovated humanity. To ever reach there, a universal development of man has to take place. This however is only possible when man becomes aware of his true role within the whole creation, and again learns to recognise his true tasks, because the whole universe functions within a strict and precisely structured order according to the will and word of the creator. Therefore also man should recognise and realise these universal laws that are valid within the whole and within every part of this creation. The hard facts rather show how far man has left the divine order through his self willed and authoritarian way of action and that he has become the actual cause of all discord and evil on this planet. Unfortunately the ruling bodies that should be responsible for the well-being of the people work too often with the target to make life more and more difficult and to render impossible every free spiritual development. Instead of utilising the achievements of science and technology for the benefit and preservation of all form of life, they are abused carelessly and irresponsibly to destroy and to kill, and thus turn them into a curse upon mankind. To change all this, the evolution of a new technology is not enough, even if it were the most ecological and ingenious. To change this present status one has to go much deeper down, to the root-cause of all this evil, and this is mans way of thinking, his state of mind. The ancient divine commandments are still valid today and also show today the way and direction humanity should go, as clearly spoken by the prophet Mica: God has told you what is good. And what is it that the Lord asks of you? Only to act justly, to love loyalty, to walk wisely before your God. ________________________________ "Testatika-Distatica Machine" (Transcribed from the Methernitha Testatika video by Paul E Potter) "...

The two counter-rotating 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-contacted, so-called, antennae keys** and then sorted [shorted ?].

Nevertheless, the research work is not yet completed: To finish a model which can be handed out more or less to anybody and without any haphazards, also to non-specialists, much work and also time will still be needed. Only partly we could use the concepts of conventional physical terminology in order 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 termed the non-contacting collectors of electric charge as antennae keys**. This machine puts experts who are just trained in conventional physics to a very hard test..." * The German original has gitter-condensers, with gitter defined as wire lattice, grille, grate. ** the original word used is tasten or taster, which means antenna, probe, key. ________________________________ [http://www.rexresearch.com/testatik/0logo.gif] Your Support Maintains this Service -- BUY The Rex Research Civilization Kit ...

Nelson Copyright 1999 ________________________________ ________________________________ HANS COLER's GERMAN PATENT<http://rexresearch.com/coler/de680761.pdf> ( PDF Format ) ________________________________ Immediately after World War Two, Allied technical teams plundered all the scientific data they could find in Germany. Much of what they learned remains classified to this day. One most remarkable exception to this secrecy is the declassified British Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (BIOS) Final Report #1043, Item #32: "The Invention of Hans Coler Relating to an Alleged New Source of Power". Coler was interviewed by R. Hurst (Ministry of Supply) and Capt. R. Sandberg (Norwegian Army): "[Naval Captain] Hans Coler is the inventor of two devices by which it is alleged that electric energy may be derived without a chemical or mechanical source of power. Since an official interest was taken in his inventions by the German Admiralty it was felt that an investigation was warranted, although normally it would be considered that such a claim could only be fraudulent... Accordingly, Coler was visited and interrogated. He proved to be cooperative and willing to discuss all details of his devices, and consented to build and put into operation a small model of the so-called Magnetstromapparat [Magnet Current Apparatus]... With this device, consisting only of permanent magnets, copper coils and condensers in a static arrangement, he showed that he could obtain a tension of 450 mv for several hours... One model is said to have worked for three months locked in a room in the Norwegian Legation in Berlin in 1933... The greatest tension obtained was 12 volts." Coler also invented another device called the Stromzeuger (Current Generator). He claimed that, "with an input of a few watts from a dry battery an output of 6 kW could be obtained indefinitely." The last and largest model which Coler built was destroyed by a bomb in 1945, but "Coler expressed his willingness to construct it, given the materials, the time required being about 3 weeks." The public version of the BIOS report does not state whether or not this was done. However, Bill Lehr (d. 1996) informed this writer that a close friend of his once saw a Stromzeuger in operation in the offices of MI5 in London, and a copy of the original BIOS report which was over 200 pages in length. The declassified report is a mere 30 pages long. Hurst and Sandberg also interviewed Dr. F. Modersohn, who had been collaborated with Coler and financed his research for 10 years; he corroborated every detail of Coler's story. The Magnetstromapparat was developed by Coler and von Unruh (who had died by 1945), and they were assisted by Franz Haid of Siemens-Schukert. Haid also built a working model which was seen in operation by Dr. Kurt Mie (Berlin Technische Hochschule) and Herr Fehr, who was the assistant of the renowned scientist Fritz Haber. The Magnetstromapparat was described thus: "This device consists of 6 permanent magnets wound in a special way so that the circuit includes the magnet itself as well as the winding (Fig. 1). These 6 magnet-coils are arranged in a hexagon and connected as shown in the diagram (Figs. 2 & 3), in a circuit which includes two small condensers, a switch, and a pair of solenoid coils, one sliding inside the other. To bring the device into operation the switch is left open, the magnets are moved slightly apart, and the sliding coil set into various positions, with a wait of several minutes between adjustments. The magnets are then separated still further, and the coils moved again. This process is repeated until at a critical separation an indication appears on the voltmeter. The switch is now closed, and the procedure continued more slowly. The tension then builds up gradually to a maximum, and should then remain indefinitely. The greatest tension obtained was stated to be 12 volts... "In our presence, Coler built an apparatus as shown in Figures 1-3. It is to be noted that 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 magnets were selected to be as nearly equal in strength as possible, and the resistance of the magnet-coil combination was checked after winding to see that this also was uniform (about 0.33 ohm). The physical arrangement was as shown in Fig. 2. A mechanical arrangement of sliders and cranks for separating the magnets evenly all around was made up. "When the magnets were at a separation of about 7 mm, the first small deflection was noted. The switch was closed and by slow adjustment of the sliding coil, and by increasing the separation of the magnets to just over 8 mm, the tension was raised to 250 millivolts. This was maintained for another 3 hours when a soldered tag became disconnected, and the meter slowly dropped back to zero. Soldering up the broken connection did not restore the tension. The magnets were closed up and left overnight, and the same procedure for adjustment was repeated on 2-7-46. After about 3 hours a deflection of 60 millivolts was obtained; this was maintained for more than 30 minutes, but then decreased to zero when further adjustments were tried. "During all this work the model was completely open, and nothing could be hidden in it. The breadboard and meter could be picked up and moved round the room, tilted, or turned, without effect. "The apparatus would appear to be to crude to act as a receiver of broadcast energy, or to operate by induction from the mains (the nearest cable was 6 feet away), and the result must for the moment be regarded as inexplicable" "[Coler was of the opinion that] ferro-magnetism was an oscillating phenomenon, of frequency about 180 kilohertz. This oscillation took place in the magnetic circuit of the apparatus, and induced in the electrical circuit the frequency which of course depended on the value of the components used. These two phenomena interacted, and gradually built up the tension... Coler stated that the strength of the magnets did not decrease during the use of the apparatus, and suggested that he was tapping a new sort of energy hitherto unknown "Raumenergie" (Space-energy). "It was judged that Coler was an honest experimenter and not a fraud... The result obtained was genuine insofar as could be tested with the facilities available, but no attempt has yet been made to find an explanation of the phenomenon." The Stromzeuger was invented in 1925, at which time Coler showed a 10-watt model to Prof. Kloss in Berlin. Kloss tried to interest the German government in the invention, but his request was refused (as was Coler's patent application) because it was a "perpetual motion machine". The model was also seen by Prof. Schumann (of terrestial resonance fame), Pr. Bragstad (Trondheim), and Pr. Knudsen (Copenhagen). Kloss and Schumann wrote reports explaining the physics of its operation, which apparently amplified the Barkhausen Effect to a useful level. The Stromzeuger was described in the BIOS report as follows: This device consists of an arrangement of magnets, flat coils, and copper plates, with a primary circuit energized by a small dry battery. The output from the secondary was used to light a bank of lamps and was claimed to be many times the original input, and to continue indefinitely." Coler and von Unruh constructed a 70 watt model of the Stromzeuger in 1933 and demonstrated it to Dr. F. Modersohn, who subsequently financed the development of the invention and established the Coler Gmbh. for the purpose. In 1937, Coler built a 6 KW version of the Stromzeuger. In 1942, Modersohn demonstrated the device to the Research Dept. of the German Navy, which intervened and supplied them with materials, meters and tools. Thereafter the research was directed by Oberbaurat (Naval Construction Chief) Seysen, who assigned Dr. H. Frolich to assist Coler for several months. The operation of the newly developed apparatus turned out to be more complicated than they had first thought, but progress was made. The large Stromzeuger was destroyed by a bomb which struck Coler's house in Kolberg (Pomerania) in 1945. Coler had been powering his house with the unit for three years. Hurst and Sandberg gave a summary account of the Stromzeuger in their report: "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. "The basic element is that of an open secondary circuit, capacity loaded, inductively coupled to a primary circuit. The novel feature is that the capacities are connected to the secondary core through permanent magnets, as shown in Figure 4. "It is claimed that, on switching on the primary circuit, "separation of charges" takes place, i.e., Magnet 1 becomes positively charged and Magnet 2 becomes negatively charged, and that these charges are "magnetically polarized" when they are formed, owing to the presence of the magnets. On switching off the primary circuit a "reversing current" flows in the secondary, but the magnets "do not exert a polarizing effect on this reversal". "Two of these basic elements are now placed together making a double system or stage with the plates close together in parallel planes as shown in Figure 5. The secondary windings are both exactly equal and wound in a direction such that on switching on the primary coil the electrons in the secondary coil flow from P1 to P2 [P = Plate] and F1 to F2 [F = "Flat Spool"]. "It is then stated that system merely has an inducing effect, and the useful current comes into existence in the system. "A single stage cannot be effective but two stages connected so that the numbers of effective North and South poles are equal will provide a basic working arrangement. More double stages can then be added to provide higher outputs. "It is then stated that as well as the normal electrons flowing from the battery and from induction when the circuit is opened or closed, "space electron" flow from "repelling spaces" to "attracting spaces" between the plates" Professors M. Kloss and R. Franke (Technical College of Berlin) tested the Stromzeuger in March 1926; their report was included in BIOS Report 1043: "The apparatus consists of: a double row system of copper plates, a double-row system of flat spools, and a system of electromagnets, to whose cores silver wires are attached and through which branch currents of the plate-system are conducted. For each of the three systems a 3-part accumulator battery of 6 volts/6.5 ampere-hours capacity is provided. The plate-circuit and the spool circuit are parallel so that the two batteries appertaining thereto can also be replaced by a single battery. This was ascertained by switching off the one battery while the apparatus was working. "When asked why two batteries were used at all, Capt. Coler declared that for starting the apparatus a double battery is necessary to get a second charge-impetus after exciting with the one battery, and this for releasing the peculiar character of the apparatus. A test confirmed this assertion in as much as the mechanism could not be started with the single battery; on the contrary, the "adjustment" of the mechanism got disturbed. "Current-indicators are built into each of the three circuits mentioned, as well as volt-meters, behind some switch resistances necessary for the "adjustment". Between the open ends of the two plate and spool-systems there are the terminal clamps for the effective circuit for whose loading 3 bulbs of 8 volts are provided. The apparatus was then put into action and above all the load was tested with the aid of the built-in instruments, that is on being loaded with [2-3] lamps… "The consumption of energy in the external circuit is greater than the energy taken from the batteries. According to the circuit, the magnet-exciting circuit is fed by a special battery, completely separated from the other two circuits. Consequently, a direct comparison of efficiency and consumption of the apparatus would mean that only the sum of current of the plate circuit and of the spool circuit would count. "The reception of current from the two batteries in this case was 1.7 watt while the consumption of the bulbs amounted to about 8 watt. Especially striking in this connection is the considerably higher current-power in the bulb-circuit being about 12 times bigger than the current coming from the two batteries." Professor W.O. Schumann (Munich) also tested the Stromzeuger in 1926; his 6-page analysis was included in an appendix of the BIOS Report: "The apparatus in question principally consists of two parallel connected spools, which being bifilarly wound in a special way, are magnetically linked together. One of these spools is composed of copper sheets (the spool is called the plate spool), the other one of a number of thin parallel connected isolated wires (called: spool winding), running parallel at small intervals to the plates. Both spools can be fed by separate batteries; at least two batteries are necessary to put the spools to work. "The spools are arranged in two halves each, according to the bifilar winding system. The batteries are attached to the starting points, and the current-receivers to the parallel connected ends. Inter-communications are connected between parallel windings of the two halves of the plate spool which contain iron rods with silver connections. These rods are magnetized by a special battery through applied windings (called: exciter windings). "According to the statement of the inventor, the production of energy principally takes place in these iron rods, and the winding of the spools plays an important part in it (The form of the spool is a long small rectangle). "The inventor stated that the apparatus in its installation was very sensitive, especially with regard to the magnetic conditions of the iron cores, and that a wrong treatment [internal measurements] would cause interferences which would be wearisome and very difficult to be eliminated. "The exciter winding is electrically completely separated from the other windings... "Installed in the apparatus were 3 current meters for the currents from the 3 batteries, and furthermore current and volt meters for the current receivers. One and two bulbs respectively were employed for this purpose. "As a striking fact it should be mentioned that the spool circuit having been at first always switched on alone, received a current of 104 mA. As soon as plates and exciter circuit additionally and simultaneously were turned on, as, according to the inventor, the apparatus demands it, the current in the spool circuit comes down to about 27 mA. "After the present examination, carried through as carefully as [possible], I must surmise that we have to face the exploitation of a new source of energy whose further developments can be of an immense importance. I believe that a further development of the apparatus will prove justified and of great importance." 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 cm3. 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.

Since the rv is in acknowledgment and can be run on caps by some. The collection of energies could be acquired by means of a cathode separate anode dumping into a liquid battery of chemical value enhanced by means of increasing the electrolytes. Wattage can then be utilized by means easily. The rv then just keeps its own schedule. Amperage can be acquired by means of heat on implosion values. Hope this makes sense to others.

You have asked a very "pregnant question" so here is my take on the whole "Energy Independence Situation"!! After over 40 years of research into the "Alternative Energy Arena", I have seen no magic "Over Unity device" using the definition of "self running"! Sure , over unity clearly exist but has not produced a totally "self running prototype" Nada! Our MRA was over unity but "not self runner"! You asked, "of all the available technology, what would you recommend"!! Under our Vortex Energy System, I wrote an "abstract" which will give you a clue! BTW! I did a prototype study of this technology and it proved totally feasible for you to "thrive totally from our environment", separated from the grid. Read this abstract! Abstract Within the “VES”the “prime objective” for “extraordinary thermal efficiency” is the “scavenging”, transport and utilization of all “sensible” and “latent” heat that is available in the overall scope of operation of any given plant or operation. The “Implosion Vortex Turbine” (carbon/carbon composite construction) in its many configurations and usages provides us the ability to achieve Industrial Heat Pumping capability employing the “Mechanical Vapor Re-compression" technology, (MVR). Since our “vapor driven” turbine operates at relatively low temperatures through the use of ‘selected” refrigerants we are able to maintain a fairly low “thermal lift requirement” therefore can “very conservatively” operate at a COP of 20:1. (COP: “coefficient of performance” which can be further defined as the ratio of power needed to transport a given amount of thermal energy in BTU s vs. the input energy in kilowatts. This means that at a 20:1 ratio we only require an electrical input of one kilowatt to move a BTU equivalent of 20 kilowatts) The MVR COP is dictated by the “lift” requirement between stages or the temp differential across the operation. Very “low lift”MVR (Industrial) systems have achieved phenomenal COPs of 40:1. High “thermal lift” requirements see a COP down to 6:1 as seen with your domestic heat pumps. Our system operates at a moderate lift requirement. This technology is directly used to “obviate” the requirement for cooling towers and heat ex changers to get rid of what is known as waste heat. Never, ever waste heat for heat is “potential energy” and if properly handled and conserved can be accumulated and converted into power. All of the sensible heat and latent heat (heat of condensation, water=144 BTU/#) can be re-cycled leaving the air and water of the plant scenario at ‘ambient or below”. In a conventional steam turbine operation, 90 percent of the fresh filtered water that went into the “steam raising plant” and passes through the power turbine en-route to the “now replaced cooling tower” is fully recovered and recycled back to the front to the process as clean potable filtered water. The feed water and cooling water requirements are almost eliminated in the overall plant for we “scavenge heat from all sources including “solar input”, “Ambient air” “latent heat in air” (water vapor) and “grey water” heat recovery. If you have to wear an overcoat in one of our facilities in the summer time that is a good sign we are doing our job in heat recovery. “HEAT is ENERGY” and can be converted into additional useful power. Our system utilized three different refrigerants, each with unique characteristics for a "cascade heat recover scenario". Tesla turbines, due to their super high efficiencies with unique designs are used as power generation prime movers, vacuum pumps, water pumps and refrigerant condensation pumps. The average home has the following "heat energy" sources available. Direct solar, all sensible heat, plus "latent heat" (atmospheric moisture) (144 BTU/# of water) (all of your potable water needs), grey water, ground heat source and even the "human input"! With the required "capitol investment", yes! you could cut loose from the grid. Coastal areas with high relative humidity is a real "plus" (latent heat recovery) here. Desert climates have the additional advantages of high ambient & solar input. "As I see it"!!

We flew down to El Paso and visited a group doing the very same thing at the time. I went the alternate route to make the Tesla Fire by building the famous "dissruptor transformer" (Tesla) and using "unidirectional DC" discharge across very powerful magnetic quench spark gap to get the desired results with the attendant,"unsheildable" penetrating shock and Tesla fire. we all played with the flourescent tubes and plasma tube with magnets. The use of magnetic fields to convert "Static electricity", Holtz & Whimshurst machines is evidenced by the Baumann Testatika.

Here is a report from Hans Holzherr from Switzerland who was present: Hello Mr. Hartmann, To your questions: > Have you seen live a machine with a load? If so, what load? I am referring in the following to the model with the 50-cm diameter disks. This machine was already running when the visitors stepped into the room, and was not halted during the whole time --- we were there for about 1.5 hrs. As a first load a 1000-Watt lamp was connected for approximately 10 seconds whose brightness did NOT diminish --- the corresponding sequence on the Testatika film is just an effect of the camera aperture's automatic adjusting to the sudden brightness! The second load was a U-shaped heating element, that Mr.Baumann handed to me. It became so hot within one second that I had to put it down immediately! What was particularly impressive was that while he pulled back one of the contact wires (that was with the lamp, I believe), a 1-cm long arc appeared between the output electrode and the connecting wire for approximately one second. The apparatus was under a plexiglass hood. Near the base it had two holes which Baumann used to insert the contact wires to touch the output electrodes. How do you think the high wattage is produced ? Good question! I'd love to know the answer, too! Did the disks slow down when a load was placed across the output electrodes ? I did not notice that (nobody else did), but of course you tend to turn your look to 'where the action is' (the lamp etc.) The disks turned with 15 rpm, which is quite slow. The spin rate was regulated magnetically. What general impression did you have ? It was really impressive! One can hardly believe it, with this slow rotation. In any case, this cannot be explained in terms of bare electrostatics in the sense of the Wimshurst machine. The perforated sheets seem to have a key function... Beside the pick-up and the drive electrodes there are a number of small plexiglass blocks with glued-on perforated sheets, whose function is unknown. As Adolf Schneider already mentioned, my colleague Bernhard XXX and I want to try to copy the principle experiment shown by Baumann --- without much hope to find anything extraordinary, though. The device consists of a horizontal swiveling plexiglass arm with a small rectangular plexiglass plate at both ends glued to the lower side of the arm. The lower side of the arm is covered with perforated aluminum sheets (square holes), while the bottom of the plates is covered with brass wire mesh. Beneath each plate five additional plates are glued onto the base plate. There is also wire mesh between each pair of plates in the two blocks. From the mesh layer between the lowest plate and the base a wire goes to the two capacitors, which are connected in parallel . Baumann seized the arm with both hands and turned it about ten times back and forth (a full rotation was not possible, because the capacitors were in the way), then measured the DC voltage with a digital measuring instrument: 60 Volts. Then, as he short-circuited the condensers a loud crack could be heard. I don´t know if that already is an abnormal result... On my question Baumann replied that with metal foil (instead of wire mesh) the device would not produce that effect.

Potter http://website.lineone.net/~aarekhu/index.html<http://website.lineone.net/%7Eaarekhu/index.html> (Copyright 2000) That the Swiss Methernitha group's Testatika machine is thought to be based on a Wimshurst electrostatic generator, is only a sparse approximation of the truth --- of the great multitude of electrostatic influence machines developed around the 1900's it more closely follows the charge-separation-and-collection system used by the 1898 Pidgeon machine [note 1] for its electrical circuit. Its 50-per-disc steel grilles or 'gitter-grilles' are plainly unique to the Methernitha (see fig.1) but in principle follow on from previous research and patents for corrugated sectors which were found to be more efficient charge carriers [note 2] than flat ones, and from a similar example in more recent times of aluminium rods extending out like wheel spokes from an insulating hub of perspex [note 3]. Another unique function of these perforated grilles attached to the discs is how they induce charge from the rotating discs onto the special collecting pads, or 'tasten' antennae keys (which are also perforated --- so as to more readily pick up charge); for in a Wimshurst you had conductive brushes or rails of sharp points which actually touched the discs or were placed very close to them, but in the Methernitha the charge has to be made to traverse a parallel air-gap to the pads and for this purpose the metal gitter-grilles are so designed to create miniature eddy-currents of charged air which circulate in and out of the perforated metal's surface charges, and are more easily bounced out to the collecting pads. This process is categorised as VARIABLE CAPACITANCE electrostatic generation. Careful note needs to be made of how the Methernitha uses its basically Pidgeon setup with regard to its neutralising rods (that equalise and stabilise the opposite charges --- see fig.2), and how charges are picked up from one area and accumulated at others, so that the polarities of charge are distributed correctly to specific areas on both discs [note 4]. And although there have been some fanciful claims, or misinformation, that it uses all sorts of radioactive materials to achieve its pulsed output I most strongly believe that the auxiliary electromagnetic circuit, that wraps itself around the rotating discs, portrays a simple electronic approach; afterall, who would use radium radioactive emission alongside leyden jar capacitors ! Indeed, the more you look into certain elements of its construction the more they point to three main eras of electronics development, the 1900's, the 1920's and the 1950/60's. The authentic Methernitha was designed and developed by purists who believed they had discovered a previously unknown electronic phenomenon, but they wanted to keep an integrity to the early pioneering days of the Pidgeon, Wimshurst and Holtz electrostatic machinery; they would not use such modern devices as transistors or IC chips (more's the pity) --- but they do use some pretty uncommon electronic engineering in their circuit [note 5]. Obviously, the electronics are in two parts; one --- the electrostatic generator and its particular technologies of how to direct what charge where, and two --- the very unique auxiliary electromagnetic circuit of inductances, capacitances and rectification that mobilises that 'static' electricity. To understand how they convert static energy into an electromotive force you would do well to go back to the earliest years of radio. From the pages of spark radio you soon appreciate just how important oscillation circuits and their valve rectifiers were, and moreover, how difficult it proved to engineer them. For although radio transmitters and receivers from the 1900's used resonating circuits their oscillations were controlled by sparks between two contacts and, of course, they were relatively inefficient. Not until the 1920's did the first electric current oscillations become an observable controlled phenomenon when someone coupled a rectifier valve, a capacitor, and a resistor together [note 6]. The early 1920's also saw the best era of experimentation and invention for novel devices that turned static energy into useable electromagnetic energy; it was in a 1921 patent that we see a German physicist Hermann Plauson describe in great detail his methods to convert static power, not only from rotary influence machines but also from balloons collecting atmospheric electricity up in the sky; and by using thermionic rectifiers, leyden jar capacitors and inductor coils he proposed a free-energy network that was to power the whole of Germany [note 7] ! The thermionic rectifier valve heralded a new era for radio and high voltage physics, and as it was then subjected to such a broad array of experiments and modifications to improve its efficiency so it paved the way for all sorts of new avenues in electronics. Indeed, with such a technical catalogue of similarities with what we see in the available photographs of Testatika it can be assumed without doubt that the horizontal glass tube which sits on top of the Methernitha machines is exactly what a home-made vacuum thermionic rectifying valve would look like; with its internal anode mesh-plate, surrounded by a coiled copper grid, fed by a glowing (heated) cathode wire running horizontally across its centre and capped by two black end-pieces, which are too big and bulbous to be mere end-caps and must surely be black rubber vacuum seals to seal the glass tube and the input/output wires [note 8]. With such a rectifier, some induction coils, and some leyden jar capacitors you have a circuit that oscillates, and that's what has to happen with a Methernitha, the electromagnetic circuit has to oscillate for it to work, and then the oscillations have to be rectified (or even modulated) so that the resulting single-pole pulses can be channeled through the big cans, which are basically high-efficiency transformers, and outputted as reduced voltage higher current DC pulses (see fig.3). The precise components used to oscillate the primary oscillating circuit are, I believe, not to be seen in any of the available photographs, but there are various hints for their approximate whereabouts on the machine. Firstly, according to electronic design there should be a capacitor and coil configuration in close proximity to the rectifier. Well, from the picture "3KWREAR" can be seen the two long upright tubes which, according to those who have seen them first-hand, comprise a spirally turned aluminium strip (which indicates they are chokes [note 9]) inside a glass tube, inside the same sort of outer shielding that the big cans have (which indicates they are electrostatic shields), inside yet another glass tube, and are terminated at the top with a brass connecting rod which does a right-angled turn and passes into the side of the tower --- but only two-thirds up the height of the tower. These two assemblies must form a connection to the rectifier, because the rectifier is at the top of the tower, so why don't these electrostatically sensitive tubes extend all the way up to it ? Again, from the photographs of the rear and front of the Methernithas there is a wire that comes out of the tower's side wall at about 4 inches above the upright's brass terminals and this wire then passes through a short black tube and on to the rectifier valve. This, of course, would happen on both sides of the tower, enabling a connection to both ends of the rectifier. But why have this 4 inch gap of connections at the top of the tower ? Something is placed inside the top of the tower in this intermediate space which is very necessary to the circuit, and I think it must be the location of the capacitor/inductor configuration to oscillate the circuit. This (fig.4) is how I would see the inside of the top of the towers [note 10]. I've seen some of the patented inventions that rotate discs --- by using magnets (i.e., H.Rosenberg's permanent magnet excited rotational machine, US Patent # 3,411,027 ), and by utilising inscribed metalised discs (US Patent # 3,239,705 for instance), but there simply isn't enough room for these to be located in the Methernitha disc setup --- also, you don't want to interfere with the ES fields that zip around the revolving discs: From the reports of those who have seen the small machines working it appears their discs were rotated by small DC electric motors after they were hand-started, some re-wound with thinner wire (to presumably increase their torque) and powered directly from the discs' generated electricity --- but I have also seen how two discs can continue to rotate simply by careful placement of curved electrodes [note 11] which would act on the charges on the discs --- like the 3kw Testatica Distatica generators. After reading through the many early accounts of electrostatic rotary machines, and some of the more recent ones, you can't help but be puzzled by the Methernitha's incredibly low rotational speed of just 60 rpm (and in the 1999 engineers 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 incredible phenomenon has never been replicated by any 'outside researcher', and is said to be the basis by which the Methernitha machine could be understood how to work [the clue, possibly, to this Principle Experiment may be variable-capacitance and dielectric-absorpsion]. But what, I hear you say, is an electron cascade... Well, it was only by chance, very recently, that I happened to listen 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 applied a high frequency, high voltage alternating field 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 smaller amounts of potential, thus depending less on complicated insulating procedures that accompany high voltage single primary / single secondary transformers. 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 charges, and the solid copper cylinder is to shield the large amount of stray electromagnetic fields produced by the transforming process from high voltage/low current to lower voltage/higher current [note 20]. Obviously they don't want field contamination taking place between the sensitive electrostatic generator and the transformers. Within these two outside shielding-cylinders are 'grid condensers' which, according to the 1999 report by the 30 engineers, can be as many as 20 layers of perforated sheet (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 secondary coil collects the maximum amount of voltage created by that secondary. This configuration of one condenser inside another inside another etc etc, has a striking similarity to the layout of a pulse forming network [see note 18]. In the red wired can the transformer is wired to output negative, and the blue wired can's transformer is wired to output positive polarity. Special note should be made of a similar arrangement for divided primary / secondary windings devised by Van de Graaff in his 'High Voltage Electromagnetic Charged-Particle Accelerator Apparatus Having an Insulating Magnetic Core' [note 21] with respect to magnetic reluctance gaps. Whilst it has been said that the clear perspex disc was designated the 'cloud' disc, and the (rear) dark disc the 'ground' disc I would think this relates to different types of acrylics or plastics that might become charged to different polarities, as in the triboelectric series, where frictional charging of different plastics --- and then bringing them close together, might cause donation or acceptance from one to the other; I would think from the above that cloud represents a donator (positive charge) and that ground must mean an acceptor (negative charge). Has anyone tried the combination of a teflon disc (extremely negative charge) with a glass disc (highly positive charge) ? Or discs doped with paramagnetic particles perhaps [note 22] ?

Note 2 --- See "Modern High Speed Influence Machines" by V.E. Johnson, 1921, p. 76. Johnson was not only a researcher of electrostatic machines but was also an innovative constructor of them, and as such was keen to try any technique that made his generators more powerful than even the specialised Wommelsdorf multi-disc condenser machines. This book is an absolute must for those who wish to work in this field. Another 'must' is the website of Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz ( http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html<http://www.coe.ufrj.br/%7Eacmq/electrostatic.html> ) which is absolutely full of information about (and with links to) present-day developments in electrostatic machines. Note 3 --- See "Self-Excited, Alternating, High-Voltage Generation Using A Modified Electrostatic Influence Machine" by M.Zahn, et al., American Journal of Physics, Vol 42 (1974) p. 289. Note 4 The Methernitha designers have taken a basic Pidgeon electric field system and added a few modifications of their own, partly to lock a certain polarity of charge to a certain area so as to stabilise it, and also to boost certain areas with charge. As in their use, for example, of an extra field plate located at the top-centre in front of the front disc (just under the rectifying valve), note also that this plate, or antennae key, is indirectly coupled to the rest of the circuit, via a coil setup. Much the same occurs with the two plates slightly below it, these plates are connected to a brass terminal which connects to a copper wire that goes down and winds in a coil shape around a hollow plastic tube, and inside the tube will be another wire or small coil that draws off the electric charge. So these three plates are using not direct connection but induction to get their charge. Note 5 ------- By looking at how each of the photographed machines have been constructed you can see that these are high quality crafted structures. I would think each would start off as sub-assemblies fitted together by pairs or small groups of members, those sub-assemblies of wooden base, big cans, perspex framework, discs with bearings and axles, when completed would be passed on to the electrical engineers of the community who would then fit the wiring connections, vacuum tube rectifier and make sure that not only did they work but that they looked like a work of art. Note 6 --- The Fleming valve had been around since 1905 and while it progressed to the thermionic valve and audion, by 1922 the ‘Pearson and Anson Effect’ was discovered whereby oscillating currents could be produced with a resistor, capacitor and thermionic valve coupled together. Note 7 --- See US Patent 1,540,998 (9 June 1925) Conversion of Atmospheric Electric Energy by Hermann Plauson. He also wrote a book of the subject titled "Gewinnung und Verwertung der Atmospharischen Elektrizitat" in 1920 in German (which is currently held in the British Library). Note 8 --- Whilst some have seen the smaller 300 Watt machine’s discharger/rectifier quite open and not encased in a vacuum tube the vacuum tube models would be much more efficient and would waste less current. Also, the rectifier tube must have a heated filament (which on the 3KW machines can be seen as a glowing line running the whole length of the grid and coil assembly between the two black end caps, and in the films you can see faint flashes coming from behind the rectifier so possibly the filament is wrapped around the other side of the grid/coil assembly as well). Coolridge, back in the 1900’s, discovered that no discharge from the cathode to the anode would occur, even at 100,000 volts, unless the filament was heated (Physics Review, Vol. 2, Dec 1913, p. 418). Aluminium mesh will give off electrons quite readily and can be used as a cold cathode --- but a heated cathode offers the advantage of being able to control the oscillations. Note 9 --- The two long upright tubes are without doubt choke coil assemblies in precisely the right place to slow down the current where it gets oscillated and rectified. In a choke the higher the flow of current the greater will be its resistance to that current flow. An even better form of choke will have some form of iron core inside it. Note 10 --- I have come up with 6 different circuits for this oscillation section, some of which include small quartz crystals. (See notes 13 and 16 on frequency of oscillation). The black dial at the rear of the 3kw machine is most likely to select a variety of capacitances so as to control the oscillations of the circuit, which in turn control disc rotational speed. Note 11 --- The phenomenon of electrostatic motors has been well researched over the years (see "Electrostatic Motors" O. Jefimenko in "Physics Teacher" Vol. 9, March 1971, p. 121-9, and in "Electrostatics And Its Applications" by A.D. Moore (1973) p. 131-147; "Electrostatic Motors" by B.Bollee in "Philips Tech. Review" Vol 30 (1969), p. 178-194). The Methernitha Testatika generators (see a recent report by 30 engineers) auto-rotate, after they have been started by hand, by the same principles of these ES motors. Note 12 --- J.G.Trump worked for the US Air Force and pioneered some highly efficient electrostatic machines around the 1960’s (see"Electrostatic Sources of Electric Power" in "Elec. Eng." 66:525, June 1947; and "High Voltage Generation in Space:The Parametric Electrostatic Machine" in "Progr. Astronaut. Rocketry" (vol 3 --- Energy Conversion for Space Power) 1961 p745). Note 13 --- Although the ‘Linden Experiment’ was thought to register a frequency of 80-140 MHz this does not necessarily mean that the Methernitha generators would oscillate at that rate also. Such a frequency seems unnecessarily high. Note 14 --- See "Plasma --- The Fourth State of Matter" by D.A. Frank-Kamenetskii (1972) pp10, and Dr.Patrick Flanagan’s US patents 4,743,275 (May 10, 1988) and 4,391,773 (Jul 5, 1983). Note 15 --- The effect is very similar to the converging forces in a non-uniform field, the oscillating perspex blocks become one ‘electrode’ and the surrounding air in the room becomes the opposite ‘electrode’, and by the processes of electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis the electrically charged particles in the air (the electrons and negative ions) are drawn toward the central electrode, which in this case is the perspex block assembly (see "Nonuniform Electric Fields" by Herbert A. Pohl in "Scientific American" (Dec 1960) p. 107-8). I am much more inclined to believe that the ingenuity of the design of these types of machines comes from physicists and not electronic engineers. Note 16 --- Dr. Flanagan actually uses the electron field generator in his own special ionizer (see Method of Purifying Air and Negative Field Generator US Patent 4,391,773). How does an electron cascade generator work, I would think that while you have an alternating electron movement (and Dr. Flanagan reckons this effect occurs with a high voltage field alternating at above 20 KHz) at the metal electrodes, the perspex blocks sandwiched between them would transfer the electricity not through their mass but around it, as surface charge --- actually in the layer of air right next to the insulator’s surface. Its the same principle as dielectric absorption - the perspex blocks don't discharge themselves fast enough to keep up with the alternating voltage and so they accumulate more and more charge --- until it forms as a layer of charge on the insulator's surface. This means that at a high enough frequency the surface-air molecules polarize, with the more mobile electrons separating from the slower bulks of those molecules and while the electrons get thrusted back and forth a secondary layer of (slower) positive air ions develops, and so on, and the process of high voltage high frequency polarization triggers the electron avalanche effect. In the event that the perspex blocks are indeed ELECTRETS (as free-energy researcher Geoff Egel and others suggest) I would think that they would work in a similar fashion to the above process, of dielectric absorption that charges up the blocks before they produce the cascade-effect. Because in the electret the electrons charged into the perspex/plastic, and the positive ions, would still be manipulated by the reversing electromagnetic field in such a way as to orientate (as with dipoles) back and forth, to eventually reach the point (if the whole circuit is tuned properly) where they would attain resonance with the immediate air surrounding them. And if this effect is similar to an inductance then possibly a back-emf will result also, to increase the output voltage. Either way I believe the effect will still be an electron cascade through the environment and the product of this oscillating output (at the blocks) could similarly be drawn off and accumulated in the multi-layered base capacitor network. I would suggest that a test program to find the best type of blocks would be; One --- try different types of plastic/acrylic/ceramic materials for the blocks. Two --- try different methods of electrifying the plastics (as with electrets). Three --- try plastics doped with semiconducting particles. Four - try plastics doped with paramagnetic particles. Five - try hollow plastic blocks containing an electrolytic fluid. More information on plastics will be found on the Electret vs Dielectric Absorption Page. Note 17 --- There are several definitions of Bifilar, one where the wires cancel out their magnetic fields, and one where the wires are wound to ensure a tight low-loss magnetic flux coupling, in this case you need all the magnetic flux you can get so it must be the latter --- See "Transformers For Electronic Circuits" by Nathan R. Grossner (1967), p. 224 etc. Most commonly used magnetic metal is Mumetal, which is an easily saturable magnetic material, routing magnetic flux through it rather than in the surrounding air, so as to enhance the mutual induction between the two coilings of red wire around the horseshoe legs. Note 18 --- So that the machine's output voltage doesn't drain away when it is connected up to a large load, what is needed here is a Pulse Forming Network (or artificial delay line). "Such a network is an improvement on simple capacitor storage because of the cascading action from one capacitor to the next along the chain. At the beginning, all capacitors are charged to the same voltage but as soon as the first one starts to loose voltage, the one behind it is then free to discharge into it. This topping-up action, which trickles down the network from capacitor to capacitor, is the mechanism by which the voltage across the output terminals tends to hold onto its original level." (see "High Energy Discharge Systems" A.P.Stephenson, Electronics Today International, March 1992, pp. 24-26). Note 19 --- When voltage of a high potential and high frequency flows along a wire it does so on the outer surface (called the ‘skin effect’) and so the Methernitha would use thick wiring or even 1/8" tubing to connect its circuit. Note 20 --- Two references for shielding are: "A Shielded Loop" by S. Goldman in "Electronics" Vol 11 (1938), pp. 20-22; and "Measurements in Radio Engineering" by F.E. Terman (1935), p. 218 & p. 341. Note 21 --- For information on maximum voltage in the center of a secondary coil see "A Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy" by J. Erskine-Murray (1913) p. 42; and an article called "Dielectric Hysteresis at Radio Frequencies" by E.F.W. Alexanderson in "Proc. I.R.E., Vol. 2 (June 1914) p137-157. For Van de Graaff's transformer see US patents 3,323,069 (May 30, 1967) and 3,187,208 (June 1, 1965). These patents were not just for a Van de Graaff high voltage generator, they were for a special system devised by Van de Graaff long after his generator had been in use to convert static electricity into current electricity. This system may be a little too complicated for the Methernitha but, nevertheless, the principles he used for multiple primary / secondary windings may be of some interest. Note 22 --- Dr. Flanagan modified his insulator blocks, made of resin, by doping them with paramagnetic granules (such as silicon carbide) to enhance even more the electron cascade effect; which is an idea that the physicist Thomas Townsend Brown first experimented with (by using lead oxide granules) in his US Patent 3,187,206 (June 1, 1965) to good effect. The surrounding air could also be ‘enhanced’ in similar fashion to polarise it's electric charge and improve its side of the performance (for those interested in the ‘physics’ of this see an article by W.A.Douglas Rudge "On Some Sources of Disturbance of the Normal Atmospheric Potential Gradient" in Proc. Royal Soc. A, Vol. 90 (1914) pp. 571, etc). Note 23 --- Some other generators with similarities to the Testatika machine are the "Electrostatic Energy Field Power Generating System" invented by William W. Hyde (US Patent 4,897,592 of Jan 30, 1990) is a rotor/stator variable capacitance machine capable of producing 300 KV. Other such generators are; "Parametric Electric Machine" invented by Ferdinand Cap (US Patent 4,622,510 of Nov 11, 1986) which has a series resonant (LCR) circuit structured into it so that it oscillates --- and indeed operates AT RESONANCE to ensure a high output; "Electrostatic Generator" invented by Dan B. Le May, et al. (US Patent 3,094,653 of Jun 18 1963) is a very ingenious system of variable capacitance; the "Electrostatic Machine" by Noel Felici (US Patent 2,522,106 of Sep 12, 1950) is a good standard which utilizes a valve rectifier; and the "Electrostatic Generator" by William S. Spencer (US Patent 1,415,779 of May 9, 1922) is an early rotor/stator generator which transferred its electric impulses through a transformer to produce a higher current output.

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. [http://www.rexresearch.com/testatik/principl.jpg] 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.

The first really running "free energy" machine coming from Switzerland, Europe. It was developed over a 20 years Research period by a religious group called: METHERNITHA. This group lives in CH-3517 Linden, Switzerland. The inventor of this superb machine, Mr.Paul Baumann claims, its running principle was found by studying the lightning effects from nature. And here are the facts : * Testatika is an influence-type Wimhurst machine which runs on it's own energy, once started by counterclock revolving it's 2 dics by hand !!! * Testatika not only runs on it' own energy, but produces also a huge amount of excess power, at least 3 KWATTS of power! That is enough to supply a one-person apartment with one machine! * The machine you see during this demo-animation is only about 70 cm wide, 40 cm deep and about 60 cm tall ! * It delivers DC-Voltage ranging from 270 til 320 Volts, only depending on the dryness of the air! At this voltage it can supply at least 10 Amperes of DC-current ! * Testatika is not a perpetuum mobile, but an energy machine that collects it's huge amount of "FREE" energy from the charged and ionized air particles. But there are still some technological tricks implemented to overcome the normal drag-resistance of a conventional Wimhurst machine, which is still the secret of the Methernitha group !!! When will this technology be available for everyone? The Testatika machines, (there already exists also some smaller units which only deliver about 200-300 Watts) are not yet mass-production type models! They are still laboratory prototype units, although they are build with a very good craftmansship ! For more info contact directly: METHERNITHA, CH-3517 LINDEN, Switzerland TEL.-Nr.: ++ 41 31 97 11 24 The pictures are from some photos and from a video-tape Methernitha sells. It shows the machines (also the smaler ones) and explains also Methernitha's spiritual aims. The tape has a running length of about 40 minutes and is really worth looking at it! It is also available in VHS-NTSC and American language. It also shows Methernitha's earlier research developments like huge wind generators. With the Testatika there is no fraud, hidden batteries or any other hidden energy source. It is really running! They already have the technology of ten years ahead! No more oil, no more pollution, no more atomic waste products, no more hunger in this world! This is the machine the mankind has dreamed about for centuries. Now it has come true! More information about the Methernitha machine is also available in the German magazine RAUM & ZEIT, issue Nr.40 (8). ________________________________ Jean L. Naudin Labs (4 February 1998) ~ "Testatika Generator and Over-Unity" 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 19th century electrical mumbo jumbo which makes up much of 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 capture them. Clearly this will result in a current flow according to the capture rate, but current by itself is not power. The kinetic energy of the particle must be captured and this will result in potential difference or voltage. If a Beta particle enters a thin foil conductor normal to its surface and is captured, then the potential difference associated with giving up its kinetic energy can be expected to occur across the opposite faces of the foil. If however the Beta particle were turned so as to enter at a shallow grazing angle to the surface, not only would the probability of capture be increased (since the particle will travel further within the material) but the potential difference will occur along the length of the foil. Beta particles travelling even at relavistic velocities can be turned within short distances by relatively weak magnetic fields, so the concept shown in the following Figure suggests itself. [http://www.rexresearch.com/testatik/betacapt.jpg] ________________________________ Methernitha Statement of Purpose ~ "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 termed the non-contacting collectors of electric charges as antenna keys. This machine puts experts, which are just trained in conventional physics to a very hard test, because its mode of action is not explainable with the state of the art of 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 very fundamental concepts. Think about Galilee, to name only one example. Our human society almost condemned this man as a sorcerer and magician, just because he investigated and discovered a truth that seemed unacceptable by the established science of the days. The book knowledge of any times is not wrong, but it is incomplete, and therefore allows to draw wrong conclusions. We are part of a new area which brings to light many new facts and new knowledge. The clothes of nowadays science have become too tight and should be stripped off, just as the larva of an insect does with its skin. Only this will allow a true metamorphosis to take its course, and finally, at the limits and at the destination of all worldly knowledge, an universal and unlimited spiritual science, radiating and beautiful, just as the completed imago of an insect, may give its blessings and benediction to a renovated humanity. To ever reach there, a universal development of man has to take place. This however is only possible when man becomes aware of his true role within the whole creation, and again learns to recognise his true tasks, because the whole universe functions within a strict and precisely structured order according to the will and word of the creator. Therefore also man should recognise and realise these universal laws that are valid within the whole and within every part of this creation. The hard facts rather show how far man has left the divine order through his self willed and authoritarian way of action and that he has become the actual cause of all discord and evil on this planet. Unfortunately the ruling bodies that should be responsible for the well-being of the people work too often with the target to make life more and more difficult and to render impossible every free spiritual development. Instead of utilising the achievements of science and technology for the benefit and preservation of all form of life, they are abused carelessly and irresponsibly to destroy and to kill, and thus turn them into a curse upon mankind. To change all this, the evolution of a new technology is not enough, even if it were the most ecological and ingenious. To change this present status one has to go much deeper down, to the root-cause of all this evil, and this is mans way of thinking, his state of mind. The ancient divine commandments are still valid today and also show today the way and direction humanity should go, as clearly spoken by the prophet Mica: God has told you what is good. And what is it that the Lord asks of you? Only to act justly, to love loyalty, to walk wisely before your God. ________________________________ "Testatika-Distatica Machine" (Transcribed from the Methernitha Testatika video by Paul E Potter) "...

Nelson Copyright 1999 ________________________________ ________________________________ HANS COLER's GERMAN PATENT<http://rexresearch.com/coler/de680761.pdf> ( PDF Format ) ________________________________ Immediately after World War Two, Allied technical teams plundered all the scientific data they could find in Germany. Much of what they learned remains classified to this day. One most remarkable exception to this secrecy is the declassified British Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (BIOS) Final Report #1043, Item #32: "The Invention of Hans Coler Relating to an Alleged New Source of Power". Coler was interviewed by R. Hurst (Ministry of Supply) and Capt. R. Sandberg (Norwegian Army): "[Naval Captain] Hans Coler is the inventor of two devices by which it is alleged that electric energy may be derived without a chemical or mechanical source of power. Since an official interest was taken in his inventions by the German Admiralty it was felt that an investigation was warranted, although normally it would be considered that such a claim could only be fraudulent... Accordingly, Coler was visited and interrogated. He proved to be cooperative and willing to discuss all details of his devices, and consented to build and put into operation a small model of the so-called Magnetstromapparat [Magnet Current Apparatus]... With this device, consisting only of permanent magnets, copper coils and condensers in a static arrangement, he showed that he could obtain a tension of 450 mv for several hours... One model is said to have worked for three months locked in a room in the Norwegian Legation in Berlin in 1933... The greatest tension obtained was 12 volts." Coler also invented another device called the Stromzeuger (Current Generator). He claimed that, "with an input of a few watts from a dry battery an output of 6 kW could be obtained indefinitely." The last and largest model which Coler built was destroyed by a bomb in 1945, but "Coler expressed his willingness to construct it, given the materials, the time required being about 3 weeks." The public version of the BIOS report does not state whether or not this was done. However, Bill Lehr (d. 1996) informed this writer that a close friend of his once saw a Stromzeuger in operation in the offices of MI5 in London, and a copy of the original BIOS report which was over 200 pages in length. The declassified report is a mere 30 pages long. Hurst and Sandberg also interviewed Dr. F. Modersohn, who had been collaborated with Coler and financed his research for 10 years; he corroborated every detail of Coler's story. The Magnetstromapparat was developed by Coler and von Unruh (who had died by 1945), and they were assisted by Franz Haid of Siemens-Schukert. Haid also built a working model which was seen in operation by Dr. Kurt Mie (Berlin Technische Hochschule) and Herr Fehr, who was the assistant of the renowned scientist Fritz Haber. The Magnetstromapparat was described thus: "This device consists of 6 permanent magnets wound in a special way so that the circuit includes the magnet itself as well as the winding (Fig. 1). These 6 magnet-coils are arranged in a hexagon and connected as shown in the diagram (Figs. 2 & 3), in a circuit which includes two small condensers, a switch, and a pair of solenoid coils, one sliding inside the other. To bring the device into operation the switch is left open, the magnets are moved slightly apart, and the sliding coil set into various positions, with a wait of several minutes between adjustments. The magnets are then separated still further, and the coils moved again. This process is repeated until at a critical separation an indication appears on the voltmeter. The switch is now closed, and the procedure continued more slowly. The tension then builds up gradually to a maximum, and should then remain indefinitely. The greatest tension obtained was stated to be 12 volts... "In our presence, Coler built an apparatus as shown in Figures 1-3. It is to be noted that 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 magnets were selected to be as nearly equal in strength as possible, and the resistance of the magnet-coil combination was checked after winding to see that this also was uniform (about 0.33 ohm). The physical arrangement was as shown in Fig. 2. A mechanical arrangement of sliders and cranks for separating the magnets evenly all around was made up. "When the magnets were at a separation of about 7 mm, the first small deflection was noted. The switch was closed and by slow adjustment of the sliding coil, and by increasing the separation of the magnets to just over 8 mm, the tension was raised to 250 millivolts. This was maintained for another 3 hours when a soldered tag became disconnected, and the meter slowly dropped back to zero. Soldering up the broken connection did not restore the tension. The magnets were closed up and left overnight, and the same procedure for adjustment was repeated on 2-7-46. After about 3 hours a deflection of 60 millivolts was obtained; this was maintained for more than 30 minutes, but then decreased to zero when further adjustments were tried. "During all this work the model was completely open, and nothing could be hidden in it. The breadboard and meter could be picked up and moved round the room, tilted, or turned, without effect. "The apparatus would appear to be to crude to act as a receiver of broadcast energy, or to operate by induction from the mains (the nearest cable was 6 feet away), and the result must for the moment be regarded as inexplicable" "[Coler was of the opinion that] ferro-magnetism was an oscillating phenomenon, of frequency about 180 kilohertz. This oscillation took place in the magnetic circuit of the apparatus, and induced in the electrical circuit the frequency which of course depended on the value of the components used. These two phenomena interacted, and gradually built up the tension... Coler stated that the strength of the magnets did not decrease during the use of the apparatus, and suggested that he was tapping a new sort of energy hitherto unknown "Raumenergie" (Space-energy). "It was judged that Coler was an honest experimenter and not a fraud... The result obtained was genuine insofar as could be tested with the facilities available, but no attempt has yet been made to find an explanation of the phenomenon." The Stromzeuger was invented in 1925, at which time Coler showed a 10-watt model to Prof. Kloss in Berlin. Kloss tried to interest the German government in the invention, but his request was refused (as was Coler's patent application) because it was a "perpetual motion machine". The model was also seen by Prof. Schumann (of terrestial resonance fame), Pr. Bragstad (Trondheim), and Pr. Knudsen (Copenhagen). Kloss and Schumann wrote reports explaining the physics of its operation, which apparently amplified the Barkhausen Effect to a useful level. The Stromzeuger was described in the BIOS report as follows: This device consists of an arrangement of magnets, flat coils, and copper plates, with a primary circuit energized by a small dry battery. The output from the secondary was used to light a bank of lamps and was claimed to be many times the original input, and to continue indefinitely." Coler and von Unruh constructed a 70 watt model of the Stromzeuger in 1933 and demonstrated it to Dr. F. Modersohn, who subsequently financed the development of the invention and established the Coler Gmbh. for the purpose. In 1937, Coler built a 6 KW version of the Stromzeuger. In 1942, Modersohn demonstrated the device to the Research Dept. of the German Navy, which intervened and supplied them with materials, meters and tools. Thereafter the research was directed by Oberbaurat (Naval Construction Chief) Seysen, who assigned Dr. H. Frolich to assist Coler for several months. The operation of the newly developed apparatus turned out to be more complicated than they had first thought, but progress was made. The large Stromzeuger was destroyed by a bomb which struck Coler's house in Kolberg (Pomerania) in 1945. Coler had been powering his house with the unit for three years. Hurst and Sandberg gave a summary account of the Stromzeuger in their report: "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. "The basic element is that of an open secondary circuit, capacity loaded, inductively coupled to a primary circuit. The novel feature is that the capacities are connected to the secondary core through permanent magnets, as shown in Figure 4. "It is claimed that, on switching on the primary circuit, "separation of charges" takes place, i.e., Magnet 1 becomes positively charged and Magnet 2 becomes negatively charged, and that these charges are "magnetically polarized" when they are formed, owing to the presence of the magnets. On switching off the primary circuit a "reversing current" flows in the secondary, but the magnets "do not exert a polarizing effect on this reversal". "Two of these basic elements are now placed together making a double system or stage with the plates close together in parallel planes as shown in Figure 5. The secondary windings are both exactly equal and wound in a direction such that on switching on the primary coil the electrons in the secondary coil flow from P1 to P2 [P = Plate] and F1 to F2 [F = "Flat Spool"]. "It is then stated that system merely has an inducing effect, and the useful current comes into existence in the system. "A single stage cannot be effective but two stages connected so that the numbers of effective North and South poles are equal will provide a basic working arrangement. More double stages can then be added to provide higher outputs. "It is then stated that as well as the normal electrons flowing from the battery and from induction when the circuit is opened or closed, "space electron" flow from "repelling spaces" to "attracting spaces" between the plates" Professors M. Kloss and R. Franke (Technical College of Berlin) tested the Stromzeuger in March 1926; their report was included in BIOS Report 1043: "The apparatus consists of: a double row system of copper plates, a double-row system of flat spools, and a system of electromagnets, to whose cores silver wires are attached and through which branch currents of the plate-system are conducted. For each of the three systems a 3-part accumulator battery of 6 volts/6.5 ampere-hours capacity is provided. The plate-circuit and the spool circuit are parallel so that the two batteries appertaining thereto can also be replaced by a single battery. This was ascertained by switching off the one battery while the apparatus was working. "When asked why two batteries were used at all, Capt. Coler declared that for starting the apparatus a double battery is necessary to get a second charge-impetus after exciting with the one battery, and this for releasing the peculiar character of the apparatus. A test confirmed this assertion in as much as the mechanism could not be started with the single battery; on the contrary, the "adjustment" of the mechanism got disturbed. "Current-indicators are built into each of the three circuits mentioned, as well as volt-meters, behind some switch resistances necessary for the "adjustment". Between the open ends of the two plate and spool-systems there are the terminal clamps for the effective circuit for whose loading 3 bulbs of 8 volts are provided. The apparatus was then put into action and above all the load was tested with the aid of the built-in instruments, that is on being loaded with [2-3] lamps… "The consumption of energy in the external circuit is greater than the energy taken from the batteries. According to the circuit, the magnet-exciting circuit is fed by a special battery, completely separated from the other two circuits. Consequently, a direct comparison of efficiency and consumption of the apparatus would mean that only the sum of current of the plate circuit and of the spool circuit would count. "The reception of current from the two batteries in this case was 1.7 watt while the consumption of the bulbs amounted to about 8 watt. Especially striking in this connection is the considerably higher current-power in the bulb-circuit being about 12 times bigger than the current coming from the two batteries." Professor W.O. Schumann (Munich) also tested the Stromzeuger in 1926; his 6-page analysis was included in an appendix of the BIOS Report: "The apparatus in question principally consists of two parallel connected spools, which being bifilarly wound in a special way, are magnetically linked together. One of these spools is composed of copper sheets (the spool is called the plate spool), the other one of a number of thin parallel connected isolated wires (called: spool winding), running parallel at small intervals to the plates. Both spools can be fed by separate batteries; at least two batteries are necessary to put the spools to work. "The spools are arranged in two halves each, according to the bifilar winding system. The batteries are attached to the starting points, and the current-receivers to the parallel connected ends. Inter-communications are connected between parallel windings of the two halves of the plate spool which contain iron rods with silver connections. These rods are magnetized by a special battery through applied windings (called: exciter windings). "According to the statement of the inventor, the production of energy principally takes place in these iron rods, and the winding of the spools plays an important part in it (The form of the spool is a long small rectangle). "The inventor stated that the apparatus in its installation was very sensitive, especially with regard to the magnetic conditions of the iron cores, and that a wrong treatment [internal measurements] would cause interferences which would be wearisome and very difficult to be eliminated. "The exciter winding is electrically completely separated from the other windings... "Installed in the apparatus were 3 current meters for the currents from the 3 batteries, and furthermore current and volt meters for the current receivers. One and two bulbs respectively were employed for this purpose. "As a striking fact it should be mentioned that the spool circuit having been at first always switched on alone, received a current of 104 mA. As soon as plates and exciter circuit additionally and simultaneously were turned on, as, according to the inventor, the apparatus demands it, the current in the spool circuit comes down to about 27 mA. "After the present examination, carried through as carefully as [possible], I must surmise that we have to face the exploitation of a new source of energy whose further developments can be of an immense importance. I believe that a further development of the apparatus will prove justified and of great importance." 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 cm3. 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.

I bought several copies in addition to the free one, but wanted to share "direct" with the EV Gray Group! File size too large 14mb. Would be great as a Youtube that anyone could view!

Mick! etal, My concept of running a "self runner" in a sealed container (shielded) under "XHV" or "UHV" conditions (concentrated aether) is based on the following examples that challenge our minds as to "source" of charge: http://u2.lege.net/newebmasters.com__freeenergy/external_links_from_theverylastpageoftheinternet.com/highvoltage/HVgenerator/HVgenerator.htm "Pure hydrogen insulation"! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242200502_A_VACUUM_ELECTROSTATIC_GENERATOR "hard vacuum insulation"!

You have asked a very "pregnant question" so here is my take on the whole "Energy Independence Situation"!! After over 40 years of research into the "Alternative Energy Arena", I have seen no magic "Over Unity device" using the definition of "self running"! Sure , over unity clearly exist but has not produced a totally "self running prototype" Nada! Our MRA was over unity but "not self runner"! You asked, "of all the available technology, what would you recommend"!! Under our Vortex Energy System, I wrote an "abstract" which will give you a clue! BTW! I did a prototype study of this technology and it proved totally feasible for you to "thrive totally from our environment", separated from the grid. Read this abstract! Abstract Within the “VES”the “prime objective” for “extraordinary thermal efficiency” is the “scavenging”, transport and utilization of all “sensible” and “latent” heat that is available in the overall scope of operation of any given plant or operation. The “Implosion Vortex Turbine” (carbon/carbon composite construction) in its many configurations and usages provides us the ability to achieve Industrial Heat Pumping capability employing the “Mechanical Vapor Re-compression" technology, (MVR). Since our “vapor driven” turbine operates at relatively low temperatures through the use of ‘selected” refrigerants we are able to maintain a fairly low “thermal lift requirement” therefore can “very conservatively” operate at a COP of 20:1. (COP: “coefficient of performance” which can be further defined as the ratio of power needed to transport a given amount of thermal energy in BTU s vs. the input energy in kilowatts. This means that at a 20:1 ratio we only require an electrical input of one kilowatt to move a BTU equivalent of 20 kilowatts) The MVR COP is dictated by the “lift” requirement between stages or the temp differential across the operation. Very “low lift”MVR (Industrial) systems have achieved phenomenal COPs of 40:1. High “thermal lift” requirements see a COP down to 6:1 as seen with your domestic heat pumps. Our system operates at a moderate lift requirement. This technology is directly used to “obviate” the requirement for cooling towers and heat ex changers to get rid of what is known as waste heat. Never, ever waste heat for heat is “potential energy” and if properly handled and conserved can be accumulated and converted into power. All of the sensible heat and latent heat (heat of condensation, water=144 BTU/#) can be re-cycled leaving the air and water of the plant scenario at ‘ambient or below”. In a conventional steam turbine operation, 90 percent of the fresh filtered water that went into the “steam raising plant” and passes through the power turbine en-route to the “now replaced cooling tower” is fully recovered and recycled back to the front to the process as clean potable filtered water. The feed water and cooling water requirements are almost eliminated in the overall plant for we “scavenge heat from all sources including “solar input”, “Ambient air” “latent heat in air” (water vapor) and “grey water” heat recovery. If you have to wear an overcoat in one of our facilities in the summer time that is a good sign we are doing our job in heat recovery. “HEAT is ENERGY” and can be converted into additional useful power. Our system utilized three different refrigerants, each with unique characteristics for a "cascade heat recover scenario". Tesla turbines, due to their super high efficiencies with unique designs are used as power generation prime movers, vacuum pumps, water pumps and refrigerant condensation pumps. The average home has the following "heat energy" sources available. Direct solar, all sensible heat, plus "latent heat" (atmospheric moisture) (144 BTU/# of water) (all of your potable water needs), grey water, ground heat source and even the "human input"! With the required "capitol investment", yes! you could cut loose from the grid. Coastal areas with high relative humidity is a real "plus" (latent heat recovery) here. Desert climates have the additional advantages of high ambient & solar input. "As I see it"!!

Here is a report from Hans Holzherr from Switzerland who was present: Hello Mr. Hartmann, To your questions: > Have you seen live a machine with a load? If so, what load? I am referring in the following to the model with the 50-cm diameter disks. This machine was already running when the visitors stepped into the room, and was not halted during the whole time --- we were there for about 1.5 hrs. As a first load a 1000-Watt lamp was connected for approximately 10 seconds whose brightness did NOT diminish --- the corresponding sequence on the Testatika film is just an effect of the camera aperture's automatic adjusting to the sudden brightness! The second load was a U-shaped heating element, that Mr.Baumann handed to me. It became so hot within one second that I had to put it down immediately! What was particularly impressive was that while he pulled back one of the contact wires (that was with the lamp, I believe), a 1-cm long arc appeared between the output electrode and the connecting wire for approximately one second. The apparatus was under a plexiglass hood. Near the base it had two holes which Baumann used to insert the contact wires to touch the output electrodes. How do you think the high wattage is produced ? Good question! I'd love to know the answer, too! Did the disks slow down when a load was placed across the output electrodes ? I did not notice that (nobody else did), but of course you tend to turn your look to 'where the action is' (the lamp etc.) The disks turned with 15 rpm, which is quite slow. The spin rate was regulated magnetically. What general impression did you have ? It was really impressive! One can hardly believe it, with this slow rotation. In any case, this cannot be explained in terms of bare electrostatics in the sense of the Wimshurst machine. The perforated sheets seem to have a key function... Beside the pick-up and the drive electrodes there are a number of small plexiglass blocks with glued-on perforated sheets, whose function is unknown. As Adolf Schneider already mentioned, my colleague Bernhard XXX and I want to try to copy the principle experiment shown by Baumann --- without much hope to find anything extraordinary, though. The device consists of a horizontal swiveling plexiglass arm with a small rectangular plexiglass plate at both ends glued to the lower side of the arm. The lower side of the arm is covered with perforated aluminum sheets (square holes), while the bottom of the plates is covered with brass wire mesh. Beneath each plate five additional plates are glued onto the base plate. There is also wire mesh between each pair of plates in the two blocks. From the mesh layer between the lowest plate and the base a wire goes to the two capacitors, which are connected in parallel . Baumann seized the arm with both hands and turned it about ten times back and forth (a full rotation was not possible, because the capacitors were in the way), then measured the DC voltage with a digital measuring instrument: 60 Volts. Then, as he short-circuited the condensers a loud crack could be heard. I don´t know if that already is an abnormal result... On my question Baumann replied that with metal foil (instead of wire mesh) the device would not produce that effect.

Potter http://website.lineone.net/~aarekhu/index.html http://website.lineone.net/%7Eaarekhu/index.html (Copyright 2000) That the Swiss Methernitha group's Testatika machine is thought to be based on a Wimshurst electrostatic generator, is only a sparse approximation of the truth --- of the great multitude of electrostatic influence machines developed around the 1900's it more closely follows the charge-separation-and-collection system used by the 1898 Pidgeon machine [note 1] for its electrical circuit. Its 50-per-disc steel grilles or 'gitter-grilles' are plainly unique to the Methernitha (see fig.1) but in principle follow on from previous research and patents for corrugated sectors which were found to be more efficient charge carriers [note 2] than flat ones, and from a similar example in more recent times of aluminium rods extending out like wheel spokes from an insulating hub of perspex [note 3]. Another unique function of these perforated grilles attached to the discs is how they induce charge from the rotating discs onto the special collecting pads, or 'tasten' antennae keys (which are also perforated --- so as to more readily pick up charge); for in a Wimshurst you had conductive brushes or rails of sharp points which actually touched the discs or were placed very close to them, but in the Methernitha the charge has to be made to traverse a parallel air-gap to the pads and for this purpose the metal gitter-grilles are so designed to create miniature eddy-currents of charged air which circulate in and out of the perforated metal's surface charges, and are more easily bounced out to the collecting pads. This process is categorised as VARIABLE CAPACITANCE electrostatic generation. Careful note needs to be made of how the Methernitha uses its basically Pidgeon setup with regard to its neutralising rods (that equalise and stabilise the opposite charges --- see fig.2), and how charges are picked up from one area and accumulated at others, so that the polarities of charge are distributed correctly to specific areas on both discs [note 4]. And although there have been some fanciful claims, or misinformation, that it uses all sorts of radioactive materials to achieve its pulsed output I most strongly believe that the auxiliary electromagnetic circuit, that wraps itself around the rotating discs, portrays a simple electronic approach; afterall, who would use radium radioactive emission alongside leyden jar capacitors ! Indeed, the more you look into certain elements of its construction the more they point to three main eras of electronics development, the 1900's, the 1920's and the 1950/60's. The authentic Methernitha was designed and developed by purists who believed they had discovered a previously unknown electronic phenomenon, but they wanted to keep an integrity to the early pioneering days of the Pidgeon, Wimshurst and Holtz electrostatic machinery; they would not use such modern devices as transistors or IC chips (more's the pity) --- but they do use some pretty uncommon electronic engineering in their circuit [note 5]. Obviously, the electronics are in two parts; one --- the electrostatic generator and its particular technologies of how to direct what charge where, and two --- the very unique auxiliary electromagnetic circuit of inductances, capacitances and rectification that mobilises that 'static' electricity. To understand how they convert static energy into an electromotive force you would do well to go back to the earliest years of radio. From the pages of spark radio you soon appreciate just how important oscillation circuits and their valve rectifiers were, and moreover, how difficult it proved to engineer them. For although radio transmitters and receivers from the 1900's used resonating circuits their oscillations were controlled by sparks between two contacts and, of course, they were relatively inefficient. Not until the 1920's did the first electric current oscillations become an observable controlled phenomenon when someone coupled a rectifier valve, a capacitor, and a resistor together [note 6]. The early 1920's also saw the best era of experimentation and invention for novel devices that turned static energy into useable electromagnetic energy; it was in a 1921 patent that we see a German physicist Hermann Plauson describe in great detail his methods to convert static power, not only from rotary influence machines but also from balloons collecting atmospheric electricity up in the sky; and by using thermionic rectifiers, leyden jar capacitors and inductor coils he proposed a free-energy network that was to power the whole of Germany [note 7] ! The thermionic rectifier valve heralded a new era for radio and high voltage physics, and as it was then subjected to such a broad array of experiments and modifications to improve its efficiency so it paved the way for all sorts of new avenues in electronics. Indeed, with such a technical catalogue of similarities with what we see in the available photographs of Testatika it can be assumed without doubt that the horizontal glass tube which sits on top of the Methernitha machines is exactly what a home-made vacuum thermionic rectifying valve would look like; with its internal anode mesh-plate, surrounded by a coiled copper grid, fed by a glowing (heated) cathode wire running horizontally across its centre and capped by two black end-pieces, which are too big and bulbous to be mere end-caps and must surely be black rubber vacuum seals to seal the glass tube and the input/output wires [note 8]. With such a rectifier, some induction coils, and some leyden jar capacitors you have a circuit that oscillates, and that's what has to happen with a Methernitha, the electromagnetic circuit has to oscillate for it to work, and then the oscillations have to be rectified (or even modulated) so that the resulting single-pole pulses can be channeled through the big cans, which are basically high-efficiency transformers, and outputted as reduced voltage higher current DC pulses (see fig.3). The precise components used to oscillate the primary oscillating circuit are, I believe, not to be seen in any of the available photographs, but there are various hints for their approximate whereabouts on the machine. Firstly, according to electronic design there should be a ca (Message over 64 KB, truncated)
