SQM Replication Project Update 23-04-05.

Summary of Hardware to date.

In all we now have three coils in the conditioning configuration. One Conditioning pulse coil and two Resonant coils.The big Conditioning pulse coil is wound on a 150mm PVC Tube, (Standard drain pipe), and is 10.6 Ohms has 4 layers of wire and an inductance of 54.2mh. There is almost 800 turns total, of 0.9 gauge wire on the conditioning pulse coil. (Roughly 4kg of wire.) The Secondary Resonant coil is wound on the outside on the Conditioning coil (latest edition) is 400 turns total, 2 layers of wire of 0.9 gauge wire it measures 5.6 Ohms and the inductance is 14.4mh. (Roughly 2kg of wire.) The resonant coil at the bottom of the conditioning coil is 4.1 Ohms, has around 780 turns total, has 10 layers on the spool it came on with a base of 150mm and the inductance is 54.4mh. (Roughly 5kg of wire.) This Resonant coil sits on the inside at the bottom of the Conditioning coil and extrudes into the Conditioning coil by 10 mm.

Thoughts about the experiments.

I budgeted more than I have spent so far. I was thinking nearly five thousand dollars but having only spent just over two and a half thousand dollars makes this project the sort of project that any project manager would be proud of. Much of the two and a half thousand dollars was in things like bench top, oscillators and variacs, so this is not a project expense if you have these items already like some researchers would.

Currently I am very positive this project is going to be a success.

If all possibilities are exhausted and this project is not a success, then this will lead me on to a project where this hardware will be used again as more research into Free Energy field is pursued. This project is already one of the most rewarding projects I have taken on. One of the good things is that most of what is needed is readily available through regular channels.

4. Magnetic Materials

In magnetic materials, the individual atoms, or small groups of atoms which together act as one magnetic unit, may be thought of as comprising an interior structure (the nucleus, plus perhaps some electrons), around which one outer electron orbits. This single electron “looks” like an elemental electrical current loop. Just like a loop of electrical current, it produces a magnetic field (this very simple model, called the Bohr Magneton, is an oversimplification, but will serve the purpose). The effect is to produce a magnetic effect at a distance which is called a magnetic moment. As these atoms or atomic groups line up during formation of the material, they align themselves in the same direction over a small volume called a domain. This alignment minimizes their total energy. Once the domain grows to a certain size (and shape), however, the system energy may be reduced further if the atoms nearby align into another domain, with magnetic axis in a different direction. Each domain is a tiny magnet by itself, then, but its field is cancelled out at a distance by that of other domains, so that the net effect at a distance is zero. In a magnetic material, when an exterior magnetic field is applied all the domains tend to align with it. Some domains align more easily than others, and so the resulting magnetic moment depends on how strong the applied field is, up until all the possible domains are aligned. We then say that the material is saturated. Further increases in coercive force caused by an exterior field only increase the magnetic field at the magnet by the same amount as the applied field, and the magnet itself does not add to it further. In a “soft” magnetic material, these domains are held in alignment only very weakly by so-called “pinning” forces within the material itself. If the exterior field is removed, thermal agitation of the individual atoms even at room temperature is enough to cause the domains to realign randomly, and the field breaks down. Even in materials in which the pinning forces are large, there is some temperature at which the alignment will collapse, called the Curie temperature. At lower temperatures, however, the domains of a strongly pinned material remain in place after alignment, producing a permanent magnet. The alignment can be reversed, in some or all of the domains, by again applying a magnetic field, this time in the reversed direction. For some materials, however, the virgin magnetization curve (that is, the curve of magnetization from the original, unmagnetized state) is different from that on subsequent remagnetization cycles. This is particularly true of some neodymium-iron products, for example.

It can be understood, therefore, that temperature has an effect on the magnetizing process. Increasing the temperature of a part may assist in magnetizing, if the rise is not too great, by helping to reduce the net pinning forces. As the B-H magnetization curve, in two forms (the Normal curve, and the Intrinsic curve) is discussed in detail in the bound notes distributed with this class (Reference 7), it will not be repeated here. There is a variation of one part of the curve, however, which is of particular interest in magnetization (Percent Br Versus Hs). An example of this curve is shown in Figure 2. It is the initial part of the magnetization curve, from H=0 to H>H saturation, for virgin material, which results in positive B. The information is shown in intrinsic form, that is the part of the field caused by the exterior magnetizing field is subtracted out, and the magnetic flux density B is normalized to Br, the remanent flux density for complete magnetization. This is the point where the B-H curve crosses the B axis (i.e. at H=0), after complete magnetization. Magnet manufacturers publish “recommended field to magnetize” values, but the value given usually will not completely magnetize the material. Their salesmen do not want this figure to be too high, as that would make their material less desirable to customers. From the (%Br Versus Hs) curve one can see the entire effect of peak field versus magnetizing field Hs. Some are perhaps understandably slow to give out the curve. On the other hand, some companies (such as Arnold Engineering, and a few others) freely offer this useful curve to their customers.

5. Pulse Analysis

All of the capacitive-discharge magnetizer circuits shown may be modelled as a series combination of a capacitor, a resistor, and an inductance. The electrical resistance must include the resistance of the source as well as that of the fixture (especially including the ESR, equivalent series resistance, of the capacitors), and also includes components from eddy-current conduction in surrounding structures, in the magnet itself, from “skin effect” in the conductors, etc. In addition, the resistance may increase during the period of the pulse (by perhaps 30%) due to heating in the fixture (the resistance of copper and most other metals increases with temperature). The inductance of a fixture containing steel pole material is dramatically affected by whether the fixture is below or above magnetic saturation (the inductance dropping greatly at currents above saturation). Other effects may be of importance too, such as the retention of energy by the electrolyte of the capacitors, the absorption of energy by the magnet, and other nonlinearities. Nonetheless, in many cases the overall system behaviour of the magnetizer and fixture is modelled to sufficient accuracy by assuming constant values for the resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Even where the assumption of constant values of these parameters is not justified for final design, the linear analysis may provide a good first approximation and a check on the calculations. Where the linear approach using fixed values is not accurate enough, however, a computer simulation including all nonlinear effects may be used. The method is described in detail in the bound notes (reference 7).
