Old Magnacoaster Device With A Wheel





I've been looking at the old Magnacoaster device, the old one with a wheel, and this is how I think it works: Because the coil's core is attached to a stationary magnet, when a magnet on the wheel passes by the coil and the coil's core, the revolving magnet's opposing field pushes against the magnet field already in the coil from the permanent magnet connected to the core. When the revolving magnet passes completely past the coil or the coil's core, the points are engaged. Meanwhile, with the revolving magnet's opposing field gone, the permanent magnet saturates the coil, thus energizing it. The coil then produces electricity, happening while the points are engaged.

If you have a different theory, please let me know what it is.

It works also when not using magnets attached to coil core.
Shorting coil is happening, but why it works better I have no idea.
Maybe no lenz law because coil is shorted ?

Just a quick recap of what is already known about Richard Willis / Vorktex / Magnacoaster / Atombuster / Puterdudes (and whatever other scams he has perpetrated in the past.) Based on information culled over the past 5 years or so, and from direct contact with some of his victims.

1. The address for his business is a mail drop - a post office box in a minimall I believe.

2. The phone number used to resolve to a cell phone - a google search on the phone number shows everything from free e-books for kids, to the latest bandwagon he's jumped on -- bed bug elimination with radio waves. (Doesn't work, by the way, and is harmful to most electronics. He isn't certified in pest control either.)

3. His "warehouse" is a storage unit?

4. Payment terms are by wire transfer only.

If any of the above were encountered in a Craigslist or eBay ad, they'd be deemed to be Nigerian scammers and you'd be warned away. There is no legitimacy to this company at all.

Furthermore, his former business partners, former girlfriends and partners and former investors have all posted publicly about the faulty design for the vorktex, about the fact that he's taking money knowing he won't reasonably have a product to deliver within the timeframe given, and claiming they too have been scammed by him. If he does this to people he knows, what do you imagine he does to people he doesn't?

He doesn't have a degree in engineering. He doesn't have a degree period. He doesn't even have a high school diploma, and it doesn't seem that he has ever been able to hold down an actual paying job working for anybody, ever.

He is a pathological liar with classic narcissistic personality disorder. He responds (when he responds) to any complaints or criticism by claiming that the complainant is someone he knows, with a host of character assassinations on them.

He has allegedly already bilked money out of investors in his company, who have yet to see a return. Supposedly this includes his own elderly relatives and former spouses.

Supposedly, deposits on these vorktex units have been used for his day-to-day living expenses. Money for shipping has been solicited even though there is no unit to ship. "Trade Shows" is another fancy term for "family vacation."

Brett Wilson has responded to questions, indicating that Willis never produced a unit for independent testing, and hence there is no deal. The University of Waterloo (where he supposedly had testing done) hasn't dealt with him. Cities, counties and municipalities where he supposedly has contracts in place, or is "in talks with" haven't heard of him and know nothing about it.

If ANYONE is considering sending their money to him, BE WARNED. He gives a bad name to free energy. He gives a bad name to the host of legitimate inventors out there who are trying to actually do some good. Magnacoaster is a house of cards that's been toppling for years.

No hoax

This is not a hoax and it actually works and this is how it works:

It is a Magnetic Resonant Oscillator i.e oscillates a magnetic field at resonance.

The two opposing magnets are like if you would load 2 springs against each other, pulling or pushing with equal force.

If you pull or push in at the center connection between the springs it will load one way and when you let go the try to return to the center of equal force.

But as nature is not digital it will not stop at the center but will overshoot a couple of times before settling and you have oscillations like a coil ringdown but with a magnetic field instead.

As the coil is situated inbetween the magnets it will be able to shift the magnetic field in either direction and "load the springs"

When it releases, the magnetic field rings down and as the coil is in this magnetic field it will generate several CEMF kickbacks.

It it is very sensitive to how hard you tension the magnetic field and how much power you put into the coil charging it.

Hi Janost,

Do you have something functional ?

How I would love to attempt a replication!

I'm working on a small coil at the moment with refridgeratormagnets so that i can make measurements on the scope.
The coil needs to be wound on a ferritecore as the magnetic oscillations are high frequency and would be damped in an ironcore.

For high power it needs large magnets, perhaps from some old subwoffer speakers.

I'll add some pictures and my measurements today.

Thanks so much Janost, Penno

This coil is like the Joule-Thief from hell

When I pulse a 1.5v battery on the coil primary it flashes a 12v LED-bulb connected to the secondary.

I need to build a transistor pulser to really try it out.

[penno64]

Hey Janost,

Here's my go at it so far -

Vey old 12v SLA sitting at 10.74 for the last 2 hours after adjust magnet
distances

JUST lighting a 240v 1.6w LED bulb.

Sorry voltage just went up by .01 to 10.75.

That is great

I think you need to pulse the coil at its resonant frequency.
That way it will draw very little current from the battery.

Do you see any ringdown from the magnets?
It should be a very high frequency.

I don't know your schematics but it could be the kickback pulses that is charging the battery.
