I am writing this letter in the hope that together we may be able to solve
a few puzzles.
I have been extremely intrigued by the timing of many of the inventions and
patents claiming free energy.
Apart from some modern time inventors that claim sucesses, somehow those
successes do not seem to penetrate the world but for the inventor who
either by financial restraints or by the impracticability of the invention
are prevented from getting any further.
Jerry is a wizard in digging up information and Yes Jerry I read them all
!! Cogitate on the information and store it away in my upstairs computor
which although getting a bit dim still accepts more bits and bytes.
For instance take the Hubbard coil information !! A newspaper article
describing an event which reads like a dream coming true but like all news
paper reporting suffers from inflating facts so people will read it.
I for one am convinced it was a working device but when reading carefully,
facts quoted do not stack up knowing what I know about the workings of
electricity,the performance of displacement hulls,horsepower requirements
of boats versus speed.
So the object of this exercise is to ask all of you to carefully read the
information given, think in 1920 terms and forget about modern concepts and
go back to a mecano toy set which was essentially what they used to obtain
results.
When I read it again the other night I could visualise the concept but not
the results as described.
250 ampere current at 125 volts indeed in an 11 inch coil with windings as
decribed ! Never !! So what are they talking about !! A small boat as
described takes 9 horsepower at the most with a slow reving single banger.
I know !! I owned one. My 30 foot 3 tonne yacht took 35 horsepower at 9
knots but usually driven at half throttle at 6 knots. So let's get real and
forget about sensational reporting !!
Hubbards story was produced in 1920 and I happened to walk into a second
hand bookshop and picked up a textbook called I.C.S. Reference
Library.printed in 1920 for the London international correspondence school.
This book shows the much used induction fixed rotation motor in use today
as a novelty but not used extensively.
If the world was to end tomorrow and I was a survivor with this book, I
could construct a generator and all the paraphenalia needed to produce
power from many scources as it also shows you how to drive generators in
intimate detail driven by steam,diesel,water power and gas generation and
how to drive a turbine !! including detailed drawings including how to
house and oil the bearings !!
This book deals with Ohm's law and any other mathematics are non existant.
I also own a book called principles of electricity in SI units which would
be utterly useless to a tinkerer wanting to invent something because the
mathematics are such that an ordinary mortal would give up after the first
10 pages.
I am a tinkerer !
Have designed and built a wooden car stronger and better then any car
today, fast, economical and funnily enough the same weight as the old
petrol guzzler.
Have designed and built 4 boats. One was a take off of a flying dutchman,
heavier than the racing boats but with a family on board much to the
disgust of the world champion racers at Lake Taupo just as fast.!!
Have designed and built 2 houses virtually without nails !!
Warm, roomy, 1/4 of the price of normal houses and guaranteed to withstand
anything that mother nature can throw at it including floods !
Have designed and built radio apparatus that worked against all odds and
incomprehensible to normal radio mechanics.
I also do all my own vehicle repairs including total dismantling and
restoring of engines and gearboxes.
Why tell you this ?? Tinkerers discover how to get around problems mainly
cash !!
Tesla and his compatriots were all tinkerers. Sometimes had training or
education related to their art but usually acquired WHILE TINKERING.
I would like each and everyone of you to look at the Hubbard story, sift
out the truth, add what YOU KNOW and write us an answer of your findings
and not only that but tell us what would make it work in you opinion.
Just to throw in my thought on the 250 amp current.
A momentory 6 volt at 250 amps would magnetise the central core enough to
set something going. Can be done with an ordinary battery !.
Have fun and would like 317 answers !!
