Check out his lambda diode for creating negative resistance regeneration.
Looks simple.

Coffee can vs. Stainless Steel

I'm coming to a realization that is blowing my mind a bit.

The Hendershot material states that his early designs used coffee can cylinders.
He switched to stainless steel.

I'm realizing that the conclusion that Hendershot was trying
to tune for say 500,000 Hz or so may be in fact WRONG!

He is definitely shooting for a high-Q in his coils, that is clear.
He does the same in the toys he made - using honeycomb coils.

His hand made capacitor is very specific that is must be 7.8nF.

I'm starting to think that he was tuning for the Audio Range --
and perhaps the Earth's field NMR frequency in that range.

Earth's field NMR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In my location, Earth's magnetic field is approx. 48.9uT.
Equation is

Proton magnetogyric ratio = 42.576 Hz/uT

So in my location, that would be 2082Hz.

Also, since his coils will be surrounding steel,
they will be subject to the nasty B-curve -- never
used in radio designs.

This design is NOT for AM Band radio after all.

Hendershot Fuelless Generator Energy Transfer Experiment

This video depicts an experiment that shows
that energy can be transferred from the magnet / bar / solenoid
device to the cylinder housing the capacitor / coil.

A quick vid to show that locaiton & proximity to coils matter.
Everyone who understands transformers and how they work
would know this. But we are looking for that vortex.

Why I leaning towards Earth's field NMR for Hendershot

Theory:
If Hendershot was shooting for "Earth's field NMR" frequency,
that is approx. 2Khz.

His capacitor is approx. 7.8nF, but the coil is unknown.
We can calculate the coil and derive 749.1779mH.
If the diameter of his coil is 5 5/16", to create a coil
with this value, you would need a METAL cylinder inside.
If that METAL was Iron (Fe sticker seen inside coil in one photo from the time,
also coffee cans were used),
the inductance is multiplied by 5000.
When you calculate the number of turns using that value, you get 14,
which is what we see in his design.

Hence, he was not tuning for 500Khz (AM band), but was rather tuning for Earth's field NMR.

Also, his Q value would be quite good -- Q <= 9800 or so (if coil resistance is < 1ohm).
The iron core will cause hysteresis, reducing Q... but perhaps that is exploited as well.
But bandwidth = .2 would make it quite tricky to tune (also described in the legend).

Hendershot's Wide-band Frequency Response

This video shows my crude attempt to measure the frequency response of the Lester Hendershot Coil-Capacitor tank circuit. My coil (as an air coil) measures 130mH. The capacitance is 7.8nF. YET, due to the FLUX spin that I'm creating from the solenoids, the frequency response (resonance), look more like a coil 5000 larger and a reactance due to capacitance that causes a more gradual reactance change (negative resistance effect from magnetic spin in capacitor?).
Anyone remember regenerative magnetic amplifier circuits?

Two Hendershot Tank Circuits

I've made a 2nd Hendershot Tank Circuit.
This video shows me firing it up and performing some experiments
for the first time.
I have more to study here but I've found the effect (I think)
that Hendershot describes whereby the orientation N/S vs E/W
matters.
I would love for other folks to try to reproduce this result.
This is getting more interesting...

video removed... I see I made an error during my north-south rotation.
Energy was picked up inductively via a nearby wire.

Better Tuned Hendershot Tank Circuit

I am experimenting with new/different solenoids, coils that are now 216uH (in AIR), single-wire connection between tanks with bridge rectifier on either side, and connecting the solenoid center tap to one of the cans.

I have a confession that I was all wrong about the North-South/East-West alignment. I replicated this several times only to find that the wires from the 555, providing the pulse to the solenoids, was getting too close to the coils. This would introduce unwanted energy to the coils. My mistake.
These tank circuits are highly sensitive to inductive energy and magnetic energy, so I have to be a bit more careful here.
Live and learn.

Stan Deyo

Think of the compass as a magnet like they started with and you are doing the same thing there. As for what hendershot was doing it might be the same thing they have discovered except with no spinning magnets.
The one magnet system can be utilized with a lot of satellites of smaller magnets and seem to link up with the satellites from any orientation once set in motion.

The Ed Skilling paper titled "A Story of Free Energy, Hendershot's Fuelless Generator", has this curious statement at the end of the article.
It refers to Stan Deyo's book "Cosmic Conspiracy", page 44.
In Deyo's book there is a mention of tapping energy by having
a tunable Tesla coil down at the 14.3Khz range (or some even harmonic of it).

Earth's field NMR (2082hz) * 7 = 14.574Khz
for my location. In some other location on the planet, 14.3Khz might
be the 7th harmonic (some location with a field strength of 47.98uT).

Stan Deyo's lecture, on youtube, refers to 3 rotating magnetic fields
being "more stable" than two.

One could imagine a Hendershot-like device that has 3
coilpacitors instead of two, which might afford a more stable
effect.

Experimenting in these VLF radio spectrum frequencies is a bit
challenging since large inductances are not easily had with a high Q.
High Q values are imperative to avoid attenuation.

What is of great interest to me is the idea of creating a spinning magnetic field without
having inertia. Place metal in that field and you have a flux that is in one direction in the metal.
Wrap a coil around the metal, and the metal is serving as a bias to ALTER the inductance -- making
it LARGER!!!
Tesla coils, as AIR COILS, are not possible to make for frequencies in VLF unless
you have a gigantic TOWER and the backing of JP Morgan. :-)

Compass - Magnet - Solenoid Video

YouTube - Magnet - Compass - Solenoids (Hendershot Mystery)

A video showing some experiments to study where the compass will spin relative to the horseshoe magnet and solenoids. This is a function of the current I apply to pulse the solenoids, what kind of solenoids I use, how strong the magnet is.
I also wanted to create an experiment to determine whether or not east-west vs. north-south matter in terms of the placement of the cylinders.
I see that my magnet and/or solenoids might not be strong enough for the 5-inch cylinders that I've made. Hendershot got his hands on a RADAR magnetron magnet, which probably had quite a pull. It seems unlikely that he found this in a trash can in the neighborhood. :-)
