Dave --- Brian reports that cooling of the device was a surprise.
A bigger surprise for me was the reported decrease in powwer being generated during intense aurora displays, and, I assume disruptive magnetic fields, generated by of the solar magnetic storms. This occurance partially answers you question regarding magnetic shielding of the device during testing. Data regarding the intensity of the disruptive magnetic fields most surely exists somewhere in the open literature. For me the variance of the local magnetic field influences the resonant coupling of the nano black powder and the strotium-ferro alloy makig up the device. Since the device did not shut down completely during the disruptive events, there may be evidence that the device is self shielding up to a point. I think some of the device may be ferro-electric and via electric potential allow generation of desired coupling resonances. The following from WIKIPEDIA is instructive: Materials The internal electric dipoles of a ferroelectric material are coupled to the material lattice so anything that changes the lattice will change the strength of the dipoles (in other words, a change in the spontaneous polarization). The change in the spontaneous polarization results in a change in the surface charge. This can cause current flow in the case of a ferroelectric capacitor even without the presence of an external voltage across the capacitor. Two stimuli that will change the lattice dimensions of a material are force and temperature. The generation of a surface charge in response to the application of an external stress to a material is called piezoelectricity<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity>. A change in the spontaneous polarization of a material in response to a change in temperature is called pyroelectricity<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroelectricity>. The ferro-electric characteristic allows external control of desirable resonant frequencies. Changing the H (ambient magnetic field intensity) would change the resonant frequencies critical in the coupling between atomic structures and nuclear entities and spin dynamics of the various primaty particles with intrinsis spin. Some of Brian’s slides presented during Fall at the COFE 10 conference with Thomas Valone is brief discussion of Brians testing with others. The link which follows gives examples how eigen states change in the present of a magnetic field. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236158984_Propagator_for_a_harmonically_bound_particle_in_a_constant_magnetic_field_with_a_time-dependent_frequency Bob Cook --------------------------- ________________________________ From: Brian Ahern <ahern_br...@msn.com> Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2019 8:14:47 AM To: Dave Roberson; vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Magmo in the land of lost wages...

Alas, it was not to be. ________________________________ From: Dave Roberson <dlrober...@aol.com> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 8:03 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Magmo in the land of lost wages...

I want to let Vortex folks know that I did not merely hear about the Manelas device. I and two other engineers performed many tests over 18 months. It worked. Manelas disassembled it to make a better one, but he stroked out on September 25 2012. I have the components, but no circuit diagram. I like Bob Cooks comments herein and I now believe that bifilar windings are essential. That is important information Brian. During your testing did you isolate the device inside any form of magnetic shielding? Also, did the device performance depend upon its orientation? I recall that the brick cooled during operation, did anyone measure the heat flow into the brick to see how much heat energy was being absorbed from the local environment? You are the right person to ask about interesting observations and I hope that you will share as much as you can. Dave
