More beautiful pictures of historic Electrical Generators. Have a look at the first machine top left corner..looks to me like ED.L's flywheel but with the u shapes facing inwards.

Lightning

Image
There was a lightning storm recently and a lightning strike hit a plant on the second story balcony, it inspired this post.. Lightning only strikes if the North and South magnets are concentrated too much in a small space. If not concentrated then they pass through everything without much notice. "ED.L"

Terrella

Image
North and South Pole magnets are not only holding together the earth and moon, but they are turning the earth around on its axis. Those magnets which are coming down from the sun they are hitting their own kind of magnets which are circulating around the earth and they hit more on the East side than on the West side, and that is what makes the earth turn around. "ED.L"  The earth itself is a great big magnet. In general these North and South Pole individual magnets are circulating in the same way as in the permanent magnet metal. "ED.L" A terrella (meaning "little earth") is a small magnetised model ball representing the Earth, that is thought to have been invented by Englishman physician William Gilbert while investigating magnetism, and further developed 300 years later by the Norwegian scientist and explorer Kristian Birkeland, while investigating the aurora. Terrellas had been used up until the late 20th century to attempt to simulate the Earth

The Sun as an electrical celestial body

Talks about the Sun being an electrically charged body. Whats intresting to hear is that the ideas come from experiments of a terrella

Sound-Resonance and Screw fashion Motion

Both kinds of magnets are running, one kind of magnets against the other kind,and are running in the same right-hand screw fashion. By using the same whirling motion and running one kindof magnets against the other kind, they throw their own magnets from the wire in opposite directions. That is why if you put a magnet metal across the copper wire the one end is North Pole and the other end South Pole. "ED.L"   watch for the rotation at 1:00 and again later. electricity the same as a magnet bar is composed of two equal forces, and each force is running one against the other in whirling right hand twist,but those forces in the wire have higher speed, and both forces are coming out across from the same wire.One of the forces is north pole magnets and the other is south pole magnets. They are the cosmic forces. "ED.L"

Sound Resonance and Ed's Radio Waves

The radio waves are made by the North and South pole magnets. "ED.L"

More Ignition Coils

Image
Just reminds me of how Ed says : You made the one-inch long magnets with a single wire, but if you had the same size of wire in a coil you now have and would put a bigger steel bar in the coil then you would have a bigger and stronger magnet, but to make a stronger magnet yet, you would have to wind more layers on top of the coil that you have now. When you were making the small magnets with a single copper wire you wasted too many North and South Pole individual magnets. You only got in the steel wire very small part of the magnets that came out of the copper wire. You are still wasting the North and South Pole magnets. You do not get one-half of the magnets in the steel or iron bar from those which are in the coil. "ED.L" To get more magnet out of a coil put the coil in steel or iron tube, then the tube outside the coil will be a magnet the same as the coil's core, but the magnet poles will be opposite. it means at the same coil end if the core end is North Pole

Ignition coils

An ignition coil (also called a spark coil ) is an induction coil in an automobile 's ignition system transforms the battery's 12 volts (6 volts in some older vehicles) to the thousands of volts (20 to 30 thousand volts) needed to spark the spark plugs . The wire which goes from the ignition coil to the distributor and the wires which go from the distributor to each of the spark plugs are called high tension leads .

Felix Ehrenhaft

Felix Ehrenhaft pointed out, "is the necessity to define more clearly the part that the inseparable twins, electricity and magnetism, play in their interaction, one on another, and to determine if, in the future, they can best be defined by one symbol only" Magnetic current is the same as electric current is a wrong expression. Really it is not one current, they are two currents, one current is composed of North Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams and the other is composed of South Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams, and they are running one stream against the other stream in whirling, screwlike fashion, and with high speed. "ED.L" Intense light and magnetic current flowing from the sun to the earth along the lines of force of the Earth’s magnetic field was likely creating the aurora borealis and other magnetic effects still little understood today. "Felix Ehrenhaft" North and South Pole magnets are not only holding toget

Microwave Generators

Image
Latley I have been thinking about how microwaves work and what is actually hapening inside a microwave. For those of you who are curious... The radio waves are made by the North and South Pole magnets. Now about the magnet size.You know sunlight can go through glass, paper and leaves, but it cannot go through wood, rock and iron, but the magnets can go through everything. This shows that each magnet is smaller than each particle of light. "ED.L" taken from http://mainland.cctt.org/istf2008/generators.asp

GROUP III ELECTROMAGNETIC-AC Oscillating electromagnetic fields

This is worth viewing since the experiments are all caught on film. feel free to replicate the experiments and post your findings. Filmed 1991-1996, 11 of 15 methods of levitating an object known to the author John Iwaszko, edited from the video Antigravity the reality made in 1996. The antigravity method shown in this edit, was introduced and was referred to as Magnetic Pulse Propulsion which has now been reclassified by the author as Electromagnetic AC Group IIIB ii) Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS)-Induced currents/Eddy currents- Oscillating electromagnetic Fields- DC Pulse, AC (LF, & HF)

If you are at all interested in Ed Leedskalnin's experimental work with magnets and electricity then Im sure you will enjoy reading this Davis's Manual of Magnetism . There are some fantasic Illustrations in here and some really good experiments . Book as online PDF

Barlow's Wheel

Image
I recently discovered Barlow's Wheel and had to share it with you. It reminds me so much of Ed's experimenting with U shape magnets. And to further add, Peter Barlow (born 1776) published mathematical books that were regularly reprinted until 1965 , when computers rendered them obsolete. He made an important contribution to astronomy by inventing the Barlow Lens. Peter Barlow was awarded a medal for correcting a deviation in ship mounted compasses caused by iron in the hull of these ships. Also see Balrow's Law also see Samuel Hunter Cristie . Barlow made several contributions to the theory of the strength of materials. Barlow's Wheel is the name given to an early demonstration of a homopolar motor , designed and built by English mathematician and physicist , Peter Barlow in 1822 Source: http://physics.kenyon.edu/EarlyApparatus/Titlepage/Davis.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_Wheel http://physics.kenyon.edu/EarlyApparatus/Daniel_Davis_Apparatus/Barlo

Pulsed-current controlled magnetic domain wall motion in a patterned Permalloy film

Image
These images of 40 um x 25 um in size were obtained by sequential MFM scans after each current pulse. The motion of the walls is best seen by noting the relative displacement with respect to the fixed topographical defects (white dots). The displacement of Bloch walls as far as 200 um along the strip was observed. The direction of domain wall motion was in the same direction with the electron flow, i.e. opposite to the current direction. The displacement per pulse was dependent on the sample thickness and current density. In general, wall displacement occurs when a critical current density on the order of 1011A/m2 is reached. This experiment clearly demonstrate the feasibility of using short current pulses as control signals to alter magnetization of a specific area of the surface. source: http://www.ece.umd.edu/~rdgomez/Animation1.html

Sound controlled CGI and 3D composition. Scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as "animated photographs," using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing. It makes the fields, as explained by the scientists, dance in an absolutely gorgeous movie called Magnetic Movie. You don't want to miss this one, which is the coolest video that you'll see all week, guaranteed. You can't argue with a combo of beautiful effects and amazing science.

Electromagnetic Sounder Experiments at the Pyramids of Giza

Image
A Joint Egyptian-American research team conducted electromagnetic sounder experiments during autumn 1974 with the primary objective of locating archaeologically significant chambers in the Giza area. Radio-frequency losses in the limestone rock of the area, ranging from 6 dB/m at 10 MHz to 25 dB/m at 150 MHz, appear to preclude much practical application of radio-frequency sounding in the vicinity of Giza. The high losses are contrary to expectations based on samples analyzed before the Giza experiments, but are consistent with later laboratory analyses made at the high temperature and high humidity characteristic of the Giza environment. Exploration of the pyramids in conjunction with the experiments yielded two additional discoveries of interest. A number of quarry marks and what appear to be alignment markings which may have been used during pyramid construction were located in the excavation on the north side of Mycerinus' pyramid . Observation of construction practices made

1824 electromagnet drawing

Image
Drawing of first electromagnet invented in 1824 by British scientist William Sturgeon, his original drawing from his 1824 paper to the British Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce . It was made of 18 turns of bare copper wire (insulated wire had not been invented) on a U-shaped lacquered iron core about 1 ft (30 cm) long and 1/2 inch (13 mm) diameter. When the wires were connected to a single cell copper-zinc-acid battery, the electromagnet could support 9 pounds. The little cups contain mercury and were an early method of making an electrical contact between wires. The one on the left acts as a power switch.

http://www.hirestation.co.uk/lifting+point/catalogue/General+Building+&+Groundworks/360425/detail/774.html I dont believe this is how Edward Leedskalnin lifted his stones, but its very intresting to explore the idea.. A powerful rechargeable battery operated vacuum lifting device for laying of dense stones and slabs, concrete products etc… with a lifting capacity of 400kg. Can be used on all kinds of lifting equipment.

Generators in History

Image
Interesting forum posts found here http://www.leedskalnin.net/wheel.htm picture 9 is really interesting could it be from the underpart of the magneto ? On the old pictures of ed the wheel is siting on what seem to be a huge u shape magnet and most likely is . For many reason i have come to believe that this wheel is whats called a magneto . First if you make short search for old telephone magneto. Or simplified a u shape magnet with a rotating magnet in the middle witch generate up to 120volt ac , that gets pickup by a coil at the end. or pull down . Second eds wheel was sitting on a u shape magnet at the end of that magnet is a coil. Third it is technologies that dates back over 100 years. Forth That drawing on that masonic temple also shows the large u shape magnet. Fifth , both are hand activated , the size of his is overkill , lol , the guy had issues not funny but still frustration some times forces the best out of you . Sixth there are no patent to be found on that part of the
