In terms of transformer it makes perfect sense. But in terms of antenna, how could the open air coil antenna help emitting radio waves (which requires power) towards infinity? That's just it, the coil isn't an antenna. Or it's not a very good one. Some electromagnetic radiation is bound to escape from such a coil, but it can be designed to minimize that effect. An LC circuit can oscillate without radiating very much unless it has an antenna configured in such a way as to resonate with the permittivity and permeablity of free space. Otherwise, radio and TV stations could have nice compact oscillators instead of those big antenna towers. Also, electric power transmission lines would be useless because they would be emitting EM radiation at 6OHz (50Hz in Europe) and hardly any power would reach its intended destination. This is a near field effect, not EM radiation. In other words, the receiver is less than a wavelength from the emitter. The emitter/oscillator would draw a minimum of power until a nearby resonant receiver could become a power draw itself. Please pardon this somewhat homemade explanation. I came very late in life to an interest in EM phenomena, and my knowledge of it is, shall we say, less than sophisticated.

On Fri, 8 Jun 2007, Michel Jullian wrote: On the how it works side, has anybody understood the difference between this MHz resonant magnetic coupling device and a radio emitter with a tuned receiver? Any EM antenna behaves as a hole in an opaque plate. A coil 10cm in diameter behaves as a hole which is 500 times smaller than the wavelength of radiation trying to pass through the hole. Such a coil makes a terrible antenna. If the coils are far smaller than one wavelength of 6MHz, then they behave as an air-core transformer. If the coils are around one wavelength diameter (like a 1/4-wave antenna,) then they behave as loop antennas for a transmitter-receiver pair. In this case the many-cm coil does not behave as an antenna. It behaves as a transformer primary, and any wireless device must contain the transformer secondary. Try this: connect a coil to the input of a portable battery-powered audio amp, turn it on, then walk around your house listening for 60Hz hum. You'll discover many regions of high AC field surrounding clock motors, fluorescent ballasts, lamp cords, etc. But this is not EM radiation. In order to form a quarter-wave antenna at 60Hz, a transformer coil would have to be 1250 kilometers across. In general, small coils don't emit significant EM waves. The question then becomes: what does small mean, and which emission is significant. In EM theory, a radio antennas is much like a hole in an opaque plate. If this hole is far smaller than one wavelength, then very little radiation can pass through. And if a coil or capacitor is far smaller than one wavelength of the operating frequency, then very little EM radiation will escape from the device, and we don't call it by the name antenna. At 6MHz, one wavelength is 3e8/6e6 = 50 meters. A quarter-wave antenna would be 12.5 meters across.A 10cm coil is too small to behave as an antenna. If it was an aperture in an opaque plate, it would be 500 times smaller than one wavelength. They say energy is not radiated away if it's not used by a receiver, I can't really see why. When AC coils are in operation, first the magnetic field expands into the space surrounding the coil. Then the field collapses again, and the energy is returned to the circuit before the waveform reverses polarity and the process repeats again. AC coils sequentially emit magnetic energy and then suck it back in again. (( ( ( ( ((O)) ) ) ) ))) William J.

Re: [Vo]:Tesla Revisted
Look at Stubblefields wireless telephone, it was loops of wire at audio (not radio) frequencies and IMO worked better than conventional EM would consider possible. The magnetic field caught a lift rather literally, indeed here are devices that can make rather impressive magnetic beams or in one case where a magnetic field was carried by the aetheric output of a Tesla Coil and conducted through the experimenters body. (This is how Tesla's transmission technology really worked) The same effect is seen with ground radio where is seems the EM gets a lift on subterranean currents. (Borderlands has some good experiments) R. Stiffler found the same effect where a pickup coil latched on to the transmitter and remained at the same strength even when drawing the pickup coil further away. You need very specific designs to make this work but it can be seen in most of the solid state FE devices, the are one way transformers where the primary is unaware the secondary is drawing power due to the distance (loose coupling) but due to the magnetic field from the primary getting a unidirectional lift on a stream of aether energy is induced in the secondary. Note: There are only 3 possibilities, a universal static aether/reference frame (quite impossible), Special Relativity which is illogical and experiments have contradicted and even Einstein rejected after proposing it when he said you're a fool if you don't believe in an aether and finally a dynamic aether which matter largely entrains. Resonance can help in creating an aetheric bridge between primary and secondary but if you want it to be Overunity you need the bridge to be unidirectional.

A flat DC current creates no radiowaves at all regardless of conductor shape. An AC current in a straight wire will emit radio waves. An AC current in a coil will emit negligible radiowaves with little powrer Pulsed DC is as good as AC for creating radiowaves.

[snip] I did, and combined this with Tesla to come up with the following based on the MIT work. Most of the kinetic energy in the Solar wind is carried by protons. When these interact with the Earth's magnetic field they produce Synchrotron radiation. However because of the large mass of the protons and the weakness of the Earth's magnetic field the frequency generated is low. For a local magnetic field strength of 0.1 gauss, the frequency is about 150 Hz. This increases up to about 1 kHz at field strengths up to at most 0.65 gauss. Now the wavelength of a 1 kHz wave is 300 km. For 150 Hz this is 2000 km. Since 2000 km is far enough (straight up) to encompass some of those trapped protons, any tuned receiver would be within 1 wavelength, and hence amenable to the MIT process. IOW the protons in the Solar wind supply the power, and we pick it up with a tank circuit tuned to the matching frequency. This may be what many free energy claims were based on, as well as some of Tesla's work. (This may coincidentally also be the source of purported free energy in Joseph Newman's motor, which contains a huge coil. He could be running on a sub-harmonic.)

Ignoring friction, once the pendulum is set in motion it will keep swinging with the same amplitude until the pendulum is used to power a clock or some other device. Precisely, so if no power is drawn, then none is transmitted (theoretically). The trick is that the inductance of the transmitting coil remains high until a resonant load is attached. Since most things in the environment are out of resonance the impedance stays high, and the transmitter itself appears as a high impendence to its own power source. Essentially it's a transformer primary winding with an open secondary winding. BTW this implies that losses can be reduced even further by increasing the Q factor of both transmitter and receiver. The effect of which is to narrow the bandwidth, ensuring that even less spurious receivers are to be found in the environment, and consequently less loss. Of course the flip side is that it's harder to match the resonant frequency of the receiver to that of the transmitter.

Re: [Vo]:Tesla Revisted
You would want it to be low distance and frequency specific so the neighbors can't tap into your power supply. I believe it is entirely possible because what is happening is a flow of aether of being established between Primary and Secondary making them very close inductively and if you do it right it's a one way effect. (The magnetic field is carried by a flow of aether as has been observed in many devices) This can be seen in many free energy devices and ground or super radio receivers.

RE: [Vo]:Tesla Revisted
Oh, here's another one, where they actually mention Tesla but claim he only attempted it. I guess they don't know he used to light up his whole lab this way. This sort of thing never ceases to amaze me. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070607/ap_on_hi_te/wireless_power M. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
