Edwin Gray Cold Electricity
Ever since I first encountered the work of Edwin Gray more than a quarter of a century ago, I have attempted to unravel the mystery of how he produced free energy. Only recently has sufficient information emerged to enable me to finally piece all of the clues together and reach a definitive conclusion. In The Free Energy Secrets of Cold Electricity, I share this 27-year odyssey and the knowledge that has evolved along the way. Edwin Gray discovered that the discharge of a high voltage capacitor...
NASA has Applied for a LENR Patent
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA the US government's space agency has apparently filed a patent application for a low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) energy source. Joe Zawodny a Senior Research Scientist at the agency's Langley Research Center made that revelation in a blog entry dated January 14.
How Do Thermosyphon Systems Work
A syphon, as any elementary science student and efficient gasoline thief knows, is a tube that transports liquid up and out of a container at one level to a second container at a lower level all with the help of atmospheric pressure. As kids we made syphons just by sucking air out of a piece of hose or rubber tubing to create a vacuum and get the liquid flow started.
Operation Of The Invention
Close switch 3 to connect feed wires 1 and 2 to transformer leads 6 and 7. Adjust spark-gap 10 and variable capacitor 11 so that a frequency of 500 KHz and 100 KV is delivered from secondary leads 14 and 15 of step-up transformer 8 of Fig.1. Next adjust spark-gap 21 of transmission antenna 14 so that all nodes and peaks are eliminated in the transmission of the 100 KV and 500 KHz frequency along antenna 14.
The Hydraulic Ram Pump
Further losses occur in the distribution and use of the electricity. This mechanical hydro-power device is well established for domestic and farm water pumping at remote sites, where there is a steady flow of water at a low level. The momentum of the stream flow is used to pump some of the water to a considerably higher level. For example, a stream falling 2 m below can be made to pump 10 of its flow to a height 12 m above.
Rossi has Radically Redesigned Ecat, more Test Data Leaked
Photographs and test data leaked from a recent third party test of Andrea Rossi's ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device indicate that the inventor has radically redesigned the technology. The same pictures and data could also make it easier for others to replicate Rossi's results . Pictures released with the first paper show a much smaller ecat assembly it appears to be about the width of a broom handle. It also only appears to be less than a foot long.
Http Overunity.com Index.php Topic 2535.0.html
Here three discs are mounted on the shaft of a motor as shown here. These are insulated from each other and the conducting sectors are aligned, and so are the brushes. The arrangement gives a mechanical switching such that when the upper brushes are short-circuited together, the lower brushes are open-circuit. As there is a requirement for an inductive load for this circuit, the motor of a mechanical switching system could well form part of the load. Many people prefer solid-state switching to...
David Goes Electric
With solar and wind power working so well for our home, it seemed only natural to put it to use outdoors as well. Here's how I built a small tractor that has become a very valuable tool around the homestead. The project began with an old David Bradley walking tractor that a friend had given me. It would probably be easy to find a four wheel garden tractor to convert, but I wanted the two wheel design for several reasons. It is more maneuverable and lends itself to the attachment of a sickle-bar...

Testing and connecting
Check that the PMG has no faults before it is put into use. It will be much easier to correct the faults now, than to return the unit to the workshop later. Mount the spine vertically in a vice. The magnet rotors are free to move. The shaft is horizontal, as it will be in a wind generator. Check that the wires are not touching each other, creating a short circuit which makes the PMG harder to turn. Check that the rotor will spin freely. Spin the rotor and listen for sounds.

The rotor blades also utilize the lift principle so that the efficiency of the Savonius rotor is little better than that of simple drag devices. However, the efficiency is much worse than that of good lift devices, reaching maximum power coefficients of the order of 0.25 Hau, 2000 . Savonius rotors have...
Stator construction
This section tells how to make a stator, using the jigs and moulds from section 3. It is a good idea to wind a coil before making the stator moulds, so that the mould can be checked for correct fit. Mount the reel of winding wire on an axle behind you, in line with the coil former. The wire should form an 'S' bend as it winds onto the coil diagram 26 . Bend the tail of the wire 90 degrees, at a point 100mm from the end. Do not handle the bend any other part of the wire leave it straight. Bent...
Power regulation and storage units
The normal power regulation strategy of a wind turbine is designed to combine optimisation of operation and limitation of the power to protect the wind turbine. Overall wind farm regulation of the power to meet the requirements of the grid is not so common, but some examples of voltage dependent power regulation are known. At Cronalaght wind farm in Ireland (Bindner, 1999a), the blade angle control is used to limit the power. At Bockstigen wind farm in Sweden, dump loads and disconnection of...

The cost of the three units we are running now was only US 1,050. Our batteries were also salvaged from microwave installations. These bargains made generating electricity with the wind economically appealing. Over time, we have recovered various wind generators Paris-Dunn, Wincharger, and Jacobs.

How A Pmg Generator Makes Electricity
This manual describes how to build a 'permanent magnet generator' PMG . We can also call it an 'alternator', because it generates alternating current AC . It will not generate 'mains voltage' or 'utility power' AC. It generates low voltage, 'three phase' AC, and then changes it into 'direct current' DC for charging a 12 volt battery. The PMG see diagram 1 consists of - A stator containing coils of wire The stator contains six coils of copper wire, cast in fibreglass resin. This stator casting...

Waves Photons Spacetime Curvature and Observation
Spacetime ST curvature involves not only the change of spatial energy density of local spacetime but also a change of its time-energy density. That component of the total ST curvature due to time-energy density change i.e., time-polarized EM photons and waves can be far more powerful, because of the enormous energy density of the time-energy compared to the far lies dense 3-spatial energy. As previously stated, time may be regarded as having the same energy density as mass, except that the...
Fast Furling Model
Jason Jonkman of NREL recently upgraded the FAST code to include furling effects 6 . The upgrades include a lateral thrust offset and skew angle of the rotor shaft from the yaw axis, rotor-fUrling and tail-furling degrees-of-freedom DOFs , up- and down-furl stops, and tail fin aerodynamics and inertia. The location and orientation of the new furling DOFs are completely user-specified, making the simulator flexible enough to model many furling wind turbine configurations. For example, to model a...
Calculation of brake disc temperature rise
The build up in temperature across the width of a brake disc over the duration of the stop can be calculated quite easily if a number of assumptions are made. First, the heat generated is assumed to be fed into the disc at a uniform intensity over the areas swept out by the brake pads as the disc rotates. This is a reasonable approximation for a high-speed shaft-mounted brake and for a low-speed shaft-mounted brake with several callipers until rotation has almost ceased, but the energy input by...

Switching Circuits with Extended Electron Gas Relaxation Time
Suppose an instantly applied voltage to the high side of the circuit instantly potentializes a pair of circuit conductors, with the other acting as ground. The charges in the conductor are thus instantly potentialized and excited, so that through the external circuit there exists an E-field E, where E -V lt j between the high side of the circuit and the ground return side. An acceleration force on the energized electrons thus exists. It requires a finite time for the energized...
Chapter Aerial Systems
It is generally thought that aerials are not capable of gathering much power. The popular conception is that the only power available is low level radio waves from distant radio transmitters, and while it is certainly true that radio waves can be picked up with an aerial, the real sources of power are not radio transmitters. For example, we will be looking at information from Herman Plauston and he considered any aerial system of his which did not produce more than an excess power of 100...

Strain to Stress Potential Energy Transduction
This is a diagrammatic representation of a fundamental strain-to-stress transduction mechanism we believe was involved in Tesla's single wire circuit i.e., his iterative retroreflecting circuit . At each end of the circuit, the electrons are trapped in the open outside end. Hence when EM energy rushes to the capacitor on one end of the circuit, the forward emf tries to strain the dielectric from the inner plate toward the outer plate. However, the trapped electrons in the outer...
Reinterpreting Whittakers Decomposition of the Scalar Potential
As previously stated, we applied and re-interpreted Whittaker 1903 decomposition of the potential 85 between the ends of the dipole. The scalar potential is actually a harmonic set of bidirectional longitudinal EM wavepairs, where each wavepair consists of an outgoing EM longitudinal EM wave in real 3-space and an incoming EM longitudinal EM wave in the complex plane. Hence we have a new and novel EM energy flow symmetry in 4-space, where as seen by the observer the broken 3-symmetry of the...

The Suicidal Closed Unitary Current Loop Circuit
The present Lorentz-Maxwell-Heaviside theory, by which EM circuits and electrical power systems are designed, produces only systems in net usable equilibrium with the active vacuum, specifically during the symmetrically regauging discharge of the circuit's excitation energy Figure 2-7 . Hence all present EM systems designed by that model rigorously conform to classical equilibrium thermodynamics, and exhibit a coefficient of performance COP of COP lt 1.0. Since the Maxwell-Heaviside equations...
Grays Splitting the Positive Pole Engine

In WW II Gray learned radar during his tour in the U.S. Navy, having previously attended advanced engineering school in the Army until discovered to be under age 15 and discharged. After the war, by 1958 he had learned to perform what he called splitting the positive pole, using cold electrical energy his name for negative EM energy as well as the normal positive electrical...
Broken Symmetry of the Dipole
To recap from Chapters 1 and 2 In 1956, Lee and Yang 187 strongly predicted broken symmetry in physics, suggesting experiments to detect it in the weak interaction. In early 1957, Wu et al. 188 experimentally demonstrated broken symmetry, thus furnishing the experimental substantiation of broken parity in the weak interaction. The emergence of broken symmetry was such a dramatic change to the view of physics, that in December of the same year, 1957, Lee and Yang were awarded the Nobel Prize....

Internal Reforming
In a conventional fuel cell system, a carbonaceous fuel is fed to a fuel processor where it is steam reformed to produce H2 as well as other products, CO and CO2, for example , which is then introduced into the fuel cell and electrochemically oxidized.

This concept is practical in high-temperature fuel cells where the steam reforming reaction35 can be...
Pcb Transmission Lines
Proper use of transmission lines is the key technique to reducing unwanted parasitics, radiated emissions, emission susceptibility, and crosstalk. In other words, proper use of transmission lines is the most important design tool for maintaining EMC and signal integrity. Electronics designers should not view EMC as something that can be handled with shields, ferrites, and so on. Although these techniques are useful, they work more as a remedy than as a cure. Because of the importance of...
Advantages Disadvantages

These distinctions result in individual advantages and disadvantages that govern the potential of the various cells to be used for different applications. PEFC The PEFC, like the SOFC, has a solid electrolyte. As a result, this cell exhibits excellent resistance to gas crossover. In contrast to the...
Fuel Cell Energy
Oxygen flows through the cathode and methane flows past the anode. Negatively charged oxygen ions migrate through the electrolyte membrane and react with the hydrogen to form water, which reacts with the methane fuel to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This electrochemical reaction generates electrons, which flow from the anode to an external load and back to the cathode, a final step that both completes the circuit and supplies electric power.
Stationary Electric Power
One of the characteristics of fuel cell systems is that their efficiency is nearly unaffected by size. This means that small, relatively high efficient power plants can be developed, thus avoiding the higher cost exposure associated with large plant development. As a result, initial stationary plant development has been focused on several hundred kW to low MW capacity plants. Smaller plants several hundred kW to 1 to 2 MW can be sited at the user's facility and are suited for cogeneration...

Conducted Versus Induced Versus Radiated Interference
In EMC literature and EMC regulations the mechanisms of electromagnetic interference are divided into two categories, conducted and radiated. Historically, this categorization has been used in the regulations and, unfortunately, it continues today. I use the word unfortunately because both near-field coupling and far-field radiation are lumped under the term radiated emissions. While experts in electromagnetics are quite familiar with the difference between near-field coupling and far-field...

Solar Irradiance on the Surface of the Earth
Values measured on the surface of Earth are usually lower than the solar constant. Various influences of the atmosphere reduce the irradiance. They are reduction due to reflection by the atmosphere reduction due to absorption in the atmosphere mainly O3, H2O, O2 and CO2 reduction due to Rayleigh scattering reduction due to Mie scattering. The absorption of light by different gases in the atmosphere, such as water vapour, ozone and carbon dioxide, is highly selective and influences only some...

This angle is also called the zenith angle dZ The calculation of the angle of incidence 0tilt on a tilted surface is more complicated. The surface azimuth angle at describes the deviation from the south. If the surface faces to the west, at is positive. The inclination angle yt describes the surface tilt or slope of the surface. If the surface is horizontal, yt is zero. Figure 2.13 visualizes...

The word of HAZOP is an abbreviation for hazard and operability study. HAZOP 107 is a simple yet structured methodology for hazard...
Flammability
Three things are needed for a fire or explosion to occur a fuel, oxygen mixed with the fuel in appropriate quantities and a source of ignition. Hydrogen, as a flammable fuel, mixes with oxygen whenever air is allowed to enter a hydrogen vessel, or when hydrogen leaks from any vessel into the air. Ignition sources take the form of sparks, flames, or high heat. All fuels burn only in a gaseous or vapour state. Fuels like hydrogen and methane are already gases at atmospheric conditions, whereas...
