Can you explain this image from the Russian site you linked?

Thanks

Things seem to have come to stand still eh

Just a burst of ideas for a while

I have to go work for a couple of months

Just had 5 months off thats always good

trying to make it work

Yes what a ghastly colour! I have no idea about capacitance values and their calculation. However I would be interested in any answers to my original questions.

1. Has anyone made a hendershot generator work?
2. Is anyone willing to show any evidence that they have tried these plans?
3. Why the red paper over the capacitors?
4. What methods have been tried to kickstart the process in a Hendershot generator?

There are lots of folks trying to make it work... .
There are several mysteries to solve.
This invention was not fully documented. Hendershot kept some
of the details to himself. So folks are trying to reverse engineer
the thing with incomplete knowledge.
I wouldn't waste my time on the scam-plans since they don't match the
schematic and design documented in the 50s, 60s and 70s that
Hendershot had done, which has
several different features -- hand-wound capacitors -- special horse-shoe
magnet with center pole, certain materials used, unknown schematic
diagram (there are several proposed circuits in the Barry Hilton book),
different values for the AC capacitors, and so forth.

Kick starting would not be an issue... having the correct design
that offers positive feedback oscillation would be the issue.
Non-linear systems are very complex. The circuit diagram does not
lend itself to EASY circuit analysis due to the complexities of
various mutual induction opportunities, and magnetic resonance,
and unknown values for inductance in the circuit, etc.

One "opinion" about Moray's device and how it become no longer easy
to do after the 20s and 30s and 40s is that less and less radio operators
were using SPARK-GAP transmitters, and hence less power was being
transmitted around the continental United States. If that was also
something Hendershot's device was taping, or perhaps it was the
experimental radar transmissions of the time... then succeeding in
receiving such power may be more difficult.

I tried an interesting experiment this weekend. I took the little
dual-pole solenoid thing I made -- 100 feet (each) of AWG 30
wrapped around small STEEL bolts, and counter wound... wired
to a STEREO jack. Using a hand-held cassette recorder as an
amplifier, I walked around my house using this "magnetic-microphone"
and find source of EMF in my house.
Walking up to any SWITCH or any wall with wires behind them,
I can clearly hear the crackling energy in the walls. In my living
room, there was a certain SPOT where I could distinctly hear
a PULSING 1 hertz tone. Is this the 1Hertz tone power companies
send along the power lines for "clocks"?
The 1 Hertz pulse tone was also easily picked up near my breaker box.
Walking over to my microwave oven -- even though it was off --
produce a HUGE noise in my headset -- mostly from the circuitry
related to driving the LCD display. Down near my dishwasher,
even though it was off as well and had no display being driven at the
time, produced HUGE magnetic disturbance to the solenoids.
Next, walking over to my oven, again HUGE noise from the LCD
display....
The large living room is pretty silent, except for the spot on the floor,
which I speculate has a HUB of wiring. Aim the microphone at various
walls, however, and there is definite pick up from the house wiring.

So, bottom line, when building a device that uses inductive "pick up",
if your in your house, and you move this near your home wiring,
you will pick up power directly from the walls. Its not free energy,
however, since your meter will indeed run as power is drawn
from the wires.

A real test of such a device is to bring it outside, far away from
any source of EMF ... and see if it can pick up energy from
the ambient surroundings.

for first Q , i would actually reform it to : has anyone even made the exact original 40/80 uf and what was the output wattage of that ?

for third Q, they said that they covered the brand of the caps ... and for the caps voltage being unspecified , they said that transformers are 220V so you should have figured out.

Someone else pointed out that it is absolutely WRONG and a SHAME to use PINK capacitors. What where these guys thinking?

Look .. if you've forked over the money to buy plans -- you've violated the first rule of free energy. Don't EVER !!! EVER!!! EVER!!! pay for these scams.

All the information is available FOR FREE HERE and other places on the web.

The CAP values are too big ... just calculate the timing constant
which is 5 * R * C... where R is resistance and C is capacitance.
How small do you think you can make R?

wrong plans- don't build the hoax.

So did you buy the schematics from hendershotgenerator.com and follow them exactly?
If so, can we see some pics of your setup please?
I'm curious as I have a set of these plans and am going to try building one. I have my suspicions though. As there are one or two bits of information that are not included:-
Why are the capacitors covered in what appears to be red paper?
What value capacitors should be used? (they say 500uf and 1000uf bipolar but add no further specs as to voltage, current etc.)

Unfortunately finding capacitors of this value cheaply is not easy. Despite the marketing blurb saying that the whole generator can be made as cheaply as $100, the capacitors alone far exceed this amount.

Its not as if I gambled the family fortune on the purchase of these plans. So if it is a scam (and I am yet to be convinced either way) I won't have lost much there, but the parts to build the machine are at least UK£150. But I am interested to know if others have tried them and what they tried specifically.

horsepower????

instead of horse-shoe magnet ... cant i just use 2 parallel bar magnets that give out the same magnetic fields toward the "coils" end ?

It won't be the same horsepower. ... kidding.

Who knows dr. resist? You can try it and see. If it doesn't work, you
can next try attaching a metal plate to the back side of both magnets,
turning them effectively into a horseshoe.

By "same magnetic field", do you mean same exact value in Teslas?
I have speculated in previous posts to this thread that the strength
of your magnet will need to be MATCHED by the strength of your
solenoids -- using the least amount of current in your solenoids.
So if you have solenoids with not very many turns of wire, and a very
STRONG magnet, the solenoids are not likely to do very much.
Iron solenoids are different than STEEL solenoids. The former being
upwards to 50 times more magnetic field for the same current.

In terms of the magnetometer effect, IMBALANCE is what is wanted.
I've found that by placing a cylinder magnet against only ONE
solenoid, leaving the other w/o a magnet nearby, can cause
an AC voltage to be induced if you pulse the solenoids --
but only if they are counter-wound (as would be the case
with a magnetometer).

Thanks MonsieurM
Very clever isn't it

[sportston]

What did you try?

Hello dr. resist
I have tried two 500uf for each 1000uf of the chines made CD60 type capacitors and a custom made 1:5 transformers but no luck in producing any bit of AC. please keep me posted on any light at the end of the tunnel

Thats cool MM I wonder if this would work as a diode in a circuit if it were made of copper,if the channel were made of copper, it might be worth the money to use as a mold.
Or it could be used as the blades in a wimshurst or testatika machine, very interesting.

good reading you Dave ..... had a similar thought ..... a wave guide of sort

Regards Drak very nice build hope to have good results.
Good luck.

This is very interesting to me. I have a lot of reading to do. I was just discussing in another forum that everything from photons to molecules are oscillators.

I really believe you fellows are onto something here.
