Bill, your suggestion for using two heterodyning oscillators is a good
one.
I may work on just such a device soon.
Right now, I am preparing to
prove
to myself that electric current actually flows from negative to
positive in
an electric circuit, and also to measure the actual speed of
propagation of
this current through a copper conductor. I will use a conductor
10,000
feet long to perform this measurement.
Question: If you take a 10,000 ft. long conductor and place an LED
at a
position 3,000 ft down the negative lead, one at 5,000 ft. and a
third at
7,500 ft., and connect a battery will:
(a) the LEDS will light sequentially, negative to positive
(b) the LEDS will light simultaneously
(c) the LEDS will light sequentially, positive to negative?
The LED's, by the way, are in SERIES so that current has to flow
through
all three to return to the battery.
The real interesting part of
the
experiment will follow this measurement.
I calculate that a pulse
cannot
take less than 10.17 microseconds to travel the 10,000 ft. path,
negative
Also, are you going to switch BOTH battery connections on and off? If
you
connect the two terminals to the wire at two different times, your
results
would be different.
.
Have you heard about the experiments done in 1902 or so which showed
that
the mobile electricity within copper is electrons. Researchers wound a
big
spool of wire on a wheel, connected the ends to a meter through
sliprings,
spun the wheel a high speeds, then stopped it suddenly.
Page 2
The sudden halt in the wire's motion did not jerk the electricity
to as
sudden a stop, and a pulse of current was measured in the meter. It
was a
negative current in the direction of the wire's motion. I don't
know if
they tried this on many different metals. It is vaguely remenicent
of
Searle's original attempt to make a generator by throwing electrons off
the
edge of a spinning disk.
.
I must point out that all of the above is based upon my
knowledge of
conventional circuit physics. It's never occurred to me to try
doing
experiments like these. I'd love to hear what happens.
You're aware
that
Joe Newman's motor designs are based upon pulses racing around in
coils?
It's work like yours which has a chance of showing up anomolies and
opening
the door to really interesting lines of research.

Bill, I really appreciate your feedback on the experiment on
transmitting
pulses through wire.
Discussion like this helps generate new ideas
and
experiments. Your discussion definitely adds new questions.
.
On your comment that a battery sends a compression wave OUT the
negative
terminal and a rarefacation wave OUT the positive, at the speed of
light:
If we place an LED twice as close to the positive terminal as the
negative;
lets say this is 6000 ft from negative, 3000 ft from positive, and
connect
both terminals of the battery to the wire, which wave will reach the
LED
first, the compression or the rarefaction? Since BOTH waves are
traveling
at 'c', it is obvious that the rarefaction wave from the positive pole
will
"pull" electrons through the LED long before the compression wave
can
"push" them through.
.
The LED should be lit by the rarefaction wave several microseconds
before
the compression wave gets there. In fact, using this analogy, the
LED
should light up TWICE - once when the rarefaction wave "pulls"
electrons
through the LED and a second time when the compression wave "pushes"
more
electrons through the LED. Normally these two events would be so
close
together that the phenomenon would never be seen - unless you were
looking
for it! (and believe me, I intend to look!).
.
Using your water hose analogy, if we take a long garden hose and at the
2/3
length position place a "paddle" wheel to indicate air movement and
have
one person blow on the long end (compression) and another suck on the
short
end of the hose (rarefaction), the paddle wheel should move twice.
The
rarefaction wave will reach the paddle wheel first,
moving it,
and
logically, a short time later the compression wave will move the
wheel
again.
.
That is, of course, unless the rarefaction wave, upon passing the
paddle
wheel, reaches the compression wave at the MIDDLE of the hose, and
cancels
it. (Both waves are traveling at the same speed and so should meet at
the
middle point of the hose. Compression and rarefaction waves DO
cancel,
yes?). Since the paddle wheel was moved by the rarefaction wave
long
before the compression wave could ever have arrived, the short
length of
time measured for the wheel to move could be wrongly (?)
interpreted as
showing that electric current travels from positive to negative.
.
Page 3
This scenario suggests
place an
LED at the far end (middle), and place another two LEDs, one at each of
the
2500 ft marks and connect a battery, a compression wave will travel
from
the negative pole of the battery toward the LED on the negative wire
while
a rarefaction wave travels from the positive pole of the battery toward
the
LED on the positive wire.
Since both waves are traveling at the
same
speed, both of these LEDs should light up AT THE SAME TIME, the
negative
LED when the compression wave pushes electrons through it, and the
positive
LED when the rarefaction wave pulls electrons through it! And a short
time
later BOTH waves will reach the middle LED and light it up last.
.
So, looking at the gargen hose and wire and using your classical
theory,
I'm still not sure what will REALLY happen. We can put forth at least
two
or three conflicting lighting hypothesis based on the same theory.
.
Will the LED's pulse only once or will they pulse twice? Will there
be a
sequential lighting, and if so, in what order? Or might some of the
LEDs
light simultaneously? I had no idea at the outset that such a
simple
experiment could be SO MUCH FUN!
I am prepared to do this experiment tomorrow, but I'm not about to
actually
do it until I get more pre-experiment guesses from you and the other
Keely
Netters. I'd have never thought about a rarefaction wave lighting up an
LED
before a compression wave getting there - thanks.
.
By the way Bill, you are certainly invited to participate in
performing
this experiment (hope you are local!).
.
The wire will not be on a spool when the experiment is conducted self
inductance and capacitance would skew the measurements.
I plan on
doing
this out in the country in some deserted field where I can unreel
10,000
feet of wire
into large loops with as little self capacitance
and
inductance as possible.
.
Anyone got a farm field with nearby power that we can use? (no
Norm, we
don't want to do this experiment in the Arkansas outback!)
.
Please re-read all our messages on this, ruminate a while, and get
back
with me later. >> Bert
.
p.s. - anyone else out there
experiment?
It may be simple, but there are
foundation
pillars being pushed and pulled
.
p.p.s. Jerry, this discussion

> the paddle wheel, reaches the compression wave at the MIDDLE of

> Compression and rarefaction waves DO cancel, yes?).
.
On the above, I would say that the compression and rarefaction waves
would
meet and cancel MOMENTARILY, but would then continue moving and go
through
each other and continue unaffected.
I've seen this happen with
water
ripples. I've even made it happen myself when playing with pulses
on
hanging ropes and
swinging
chains.
It's only when the medium
is
"nonlinear" that one wave can alter the path of another wave's energy.
In
linear media, waves go through each other and come out unaffected.
.
Oh, here's another thing I though of. The resistance of a power
supply is
very low, so you treat it as a conductor. So, if you should connect
the
battery to the long loop of wire AND LEAVE IT CONNECTED, the waves
of
compression and rarefaction should go all the way around the loop,
return,
and PASS THROUGH THE BATTERY and go around again. The LEDs should
change
brightness many times in a resonant exponential decay, as smaller
and
smaller positive and negative current waves go past them.
The
current
waves would continue forever, but I think the resistance of the LEDs
and of
the wire will make them die off after a few trips. If the wire
resistance
is high enough, the waves might even be smeared out after a single
trip.
Something to watch out for.
.
And even if you disconnect the battery a microsecond after sending
the
pulses, you will still get multiple pulses at the LEDs because the
missing
battery acts as a mismatched impedance on your line, which causes
total
reflection of any waves hitting the end of the wire. The waves will
return
to the battery, find it missing, and so reverse course and make
trips
around the loop again backwards.
.
Wasn't there some free-energy invention which used very long lengths of
Page 5
wire lying on the ground? I think it was powered by a tesla coil, but
even
so, you might get some weird results if your experiment interacts in
any
Page 6
"Current" cannot flow if current IS a flow of something. In my
older
message I almost said that a wave of "current" was going down the wire,
but
because of the blurry meaning of the word, I instead tried to say it
more
accurately.
When you connect a battery to a circuit and wait a while, the whole
circuit
ends up with flowing charge. How did that charge start flowing? Well,
when
the wires first touched together, a wave of "starting-of-motion" zipped
all
around the circuit, leaving constantly flowing electrons in its wake.
Now,
when you break a closed circuit, THE ELECTRONS STOP WHERE THEY ARE.
And they do the "stopping" one after another in sequence. And so a
wave of
motionlessness, or a wave of zero current, or a wave of ceasing-ofmotion
of electrons, overtakes each one in the circuit at the speed of
light,
leaving a lot of motionless electrons at the end. In your experiment
with
the long wire, the compression and rarefaction waves aren't simply
pulses

Get the circuit operating, place the SS41 Hall-Effect sensor against
the
end of the coil's iron core, then bring a bar magnet near the end of
the
core and see if it repels.
If not, turn the SS41 over to reverse
it's
output polarity. Attach the SS41 to the core (I used cable ties
and
silicone)
.
This is one repulsor coil. It acts like a bar magnet which repels
either
end of another magnet! With five I managed to levitate a 3" alnico rod
Page 8
magnet VERY wobbly and temporary. With two rows of six coils
attached to
iron strips, I made a slanted track which bar magnets would zip
silently
along. This circuit is too simple and has no adjustments, and it
is
underdamped, so levitated magnets tend to wobble. Copper damping
plates
(pennys) held near the levitated magnet can cure this, but it's a
cludgey
fix. I have yet to build a square panel and attempt to float a big
magnet.
.
If you build any of the above, try connecting an audio amp to the DC
power
lines. Each repulsor circuit is an inheirant switching power supply,

Ok, here's the scoop on this liquid electricity. The man I know who
told
me is getting older, and so couldn't recall all that I remembered,
but he
did come up with some more details.
He couldn't recall the man's name,
for
but
he
built
thought
my
friend said nitrogen last time) that, if scaled up, per his
calculations to
a cubic foot, WOULD CONTAIN ENOUGH ENERGY TO LIGHT NEW YORK CITY
FOR A
WEEK. Also that this cubic foot of electricity WOULD WEIGH ABOUT TWO
TONS.
There is
another
such device, a
different
researcher,
somewhere
in
Washington or Oregon possibly, who has something similar called the
Trinium
battery. Don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but if you want I
could
trace this down also.
AND, here is another one.
Another type of battery was designed by a fellow named
Joe
Wallace
of
Phoenix, Arizona in the mid-fifties. This battery was TWO CUBIC INCHES,
yet
was comparable to the lead-acid car battery we know. And it would
draw
higher current. My friend saw one the size of a penny (single cell)
that
would produce hundreds of amps at 1-1.5 volts!
It was SILVER BASED; the electrolyte may have been silver chloride.
One
terminal was a paste and the other terminal was a solid terminal. There
may
be a way to trace this fellow down. However, some of the technology
may be
defense related, as Amphenol allowed him to demonstrate his battery to
them
(how nice of them) but they didn't want to buy his design, as they
had a
similar design which didn't work as well but was adequate for their
use,
which was used in the detonation of the Atomic Bomb!
All for now!
