I read with interest your posting and would like to make a comment.
I am playing with the same idea, From all the patents read so far, the arc
gap seems to be the answer to many things and today we are stuck on solid
state devices because it is supposed to be the bees knees.
I have for years mucked around with diodes and burned out a few, even 200
amp ones to find that the forward resistance kills every gain you ever
thought of.(Those with unlimited money supply may be willing to carry on
this way but I cannot afford to)
Adams motor design uses make and break contacts in his design and Tesla
used gigantic apparatus to get his going.
I am still playing with Joe's cell because that points the way to a
property of hydrogen (probably) that has been overlooked and is a factor in
the production of Browns gas.
So I now own a speed controller and I also own a 2 H.P. router capable of
30000 revs per minute which should give me infinite control over the
fgrequency of the d.c pulse. My battery set up is 6x 2 volts batteries (ex
telecom) 375 amp hours> so can vary the voltage that way.
With a small adaptation, I can hook up my spinning fluids idea and will use
mercury for this. I have a fair amount of 99.9% pure mercury and by using
an soft iron ring should be able to use the natural rectification
between mercury and iron to my advantage.
My thought over free energy is that I believe nothing until I have proved
for myself and seen with my own eyes what can be achieved.
Some people tell me that we receive free energy from the sun. In effect
even this is not free.
The sun attracts matter from space and burns it up and the matter from
space originates from physical work
i.e. a physical vibration expended by something or someone.(Probably a
rotary pulse)
Within this physical universe only movement can produce energy as amply
demonstrated by every star and planetary system.
Our so called limitless energy within the atom and released in nuclear
reactors is maintained by a rotary magnetic field within a gigantic rotary
magnetic field, so my thought has always been that you can get nothing for
nothing. You may borrow some but while using it have to return it one way
or the other.
All this does not mean that I do not think some form of energy cannot be
got from our environment at less monetary cost than our present means
because that in effect is what we are after.
To escape from the greed of our fellow man and make every citizen on this
earth live a little easier !!
Wether this is a good thing is also debatable because by introducing free
time, there is more time to produce weapons of mass destruction and ideas
of grandeur giving rise to demagogues and their misbegotten followers.
So from ideas to philosophical conclusion. Somehow the quest for free
energy is linked to life itself so what is NEW ??
