Ground rods
Clarence,
With your success, it gave me the inspiration I needed to put in 3 8' ground rods tonight. I'm waiting for the 150v GDT's to come in. Can't wait to try this thing! I've got a pure sine wave inverter, so I'm very interested in trying it with that also.Leave a comment:

Toroids
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I just didn't know what the number of loops was on those toroids. To help anyone else, it's the:
"TD300-1120-P, 300VA, 60Hz, Primary 120V, 160 degrees winding on toroid surface, no secondary winding" available from Bridgeport Magnetics.Leave a comment:

Congrats Clarence!
The blue #12 coils are really the electron trap then?
Ha, I confess. I bought two of these toroid transformers from Bridgeport Magnetics way back when and when I finally admitted to myself that I didn't have what it takes to solve this B&L patent, I used them on another project, destroying one in the process.
I'll definitely have to try again now.
Thank you for persevering until you solved it and my hat's off to you sir for sharing your work.
Respectfully,

Gdt

Use the 250 one - you have to use a GDT rated at HIGHER voltage than the mains or inverter voltage or the GDT WILL BLITZ the voltage straight thru and trip breakers!
The toroids are BUTT to Butt - found that if you place them face to face then
the input leads get in the way.
Face toFace Or ass to ass -makes no difference as long as they MATCH !
Nose to Ass doesn't work ! HA! HA!

Looks good
Clarence,
Looks good and simple enough that I should be testing by this afternoon. Hopefully.
I noticed you added the GDT since your last E-pics to me. What size? I have the 90 and 250 volt ones.
Are your toroid (primary) windings same direction on the face to face configuration? Or opposite?
After sandwich will head to shop. And yes I'll be trying the inverter/battery setup but after this runs off the mains.

Torroids
[QUOTE=digits10;303441]Clarence,
I don't want to overwhelm you, since a lot of people are probably going to start asking questions. I had picked up the 90v GDT's, but apparently I'll need larger ones? Do you have a link to the one's you ordered (from Mouser if I remember right).
You're using two toroids, right? I've got the two I had ordered for the original design (back in the day - like January
I haven't done any winding yet as I was waiting for your breakthrough. Do I understand correctly that they need 330 turns of 20 gauge? Anything special to that winding? Just on one side, (like what I ordered in Dec/Jan), or do these 330 winds use all 360 degrees of the toroid?
Can't wait to start trying this thing![/QUOTTE]

In the attachment are the two coils from back in the day. They are the same ones yo see in my photo post Previous.

Toroids
on the toroids, Image 61.png are the 330 windings just on the top side (in red), or are they wound all the way around the toroid?Leave a comment:

I need to explain briefly the setup you see in the thumbnail attachment.
First, it is an (Almost) exact duplicate of Ariovaldo's schematic. I even followed the color code on the wires as close as possible.
Second, most people would just say that's only a damn ground loop to avoid the meter. In a way it is and in a way it ISN"T.
B&L's method was to use the utility input on the toroid side only and then complete the power of the circuit through the ground (earth) as a return/neutral . The purpose of utility power to the toroids gave the system the hertz frequency needed for ALTERNATING elictricity. They were willing to pay for that small-small usage but not for any thing that was dumped into the ground. Whatever was freely dumped in the ground was also freely available for them to retrieve. So they came up with a system to do just that.
HOWEVER - NOT ONLY THAT ELECTRICITY but also every OTHER FORM that was there also- Natural earth charges- Lightning discharges into the earth - mainly whatever was available BELONGED TO THEM and they wanted it
big time. They also found out that the same system could be applied in a non Utility CO fashion, namely Solar/Battery/inverter and also just battery/ inverter.
Any way, each member can look at it the way they want and make their own decision.
EDIT: The two coils as shown DO replace the OLD DO NOTHING SHORTED # 1.0 Ought Loop. These two coils are looped ALSO AS A SHORTED LOOP as you can plainly see - HOWEVER the are a LENZ-LESS loop That DOES continualy ALTERNATE WITHIN ITSELF in efect enhancing the PULLING/PUMPING effect on the ground electrons - in that respect it DOES work like a charm!
On with the photos as shown below.
Cheers to ALL,
ClarenceLeave a comment:

I'm not answering for Clarence, but if you got the ones from post #6 then yes I believe is the correct ones. The primary is wound on the one side like 160° it seems.
Clarence knows the GDT better then me.

Edit: was 160° not 180°.Last edited by wantomake; 08-08-2017, 07:08 PM.Leave a comment:
