Hendershot Replications

Looking good

What type of paper is used to seperate the foil in the handmade caps? I keep reading craft paper, then thin craft paper, then thin paper (KRAFF) Kraft? Is Kraft a brand name? I found some Kraft paper, but it doesn't seem to thin, it is brown colored. What about the other thicker paper, what type of paper is that?

Any links of where I can get this type of paper?

I thought it was Grease Proof Paper like for cooking
I could be wrong I often am

I would think that off-the-grocery-store-shelf wax paper should be just fine.

Re: Thickness.
There are actually equations for capacitance that are quite easy.
The accuracy for hand-made plate caps is even easier to get right
than winding coils in terms of the math and shape.
Winding the cap isn't easier though. I found it to be really difficult to
keep the foil flat, to cut it, to wrap it without ending up with a big mess.
Wax paper is also kinda slippery.

Capacitance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If your shooting for exactly 7.8nF, it should be doable. You then have the problem of measuring your capacitance. Many multi-meters these days can do that (within certain ranges of capacitance).
Hence, unlike Hendershot's day when you could quite be sure of what your getting, we can exactly get the right capacitance within whatever tolerance we want. We don't know what the tolerences should be, however. I would try for say 1% tolerance here -- 7.722nf to 7.878nf.

We also don't know if a SLOPPY capacitor or a real tight stable one is wanted. A SPLOPPY, JITTERY, WIGGLY capacitor might be ideal for creating all sorts of glitches, and pops, and sparks to further excite the coils. Remember this thing is running with a very JITTERY solenoid-bar-magnet thing.

So another degree of freedom here is SLOPPY capacitor vs. PERFECT capacitor.

Kids could start it up

Part of the myth is that the machine would only work for Lester. Not exactly true because his kids could start it up, or so I read.

FYI
After reading as much as possible and starting to build a Mk1 version, your statement about Hendershots kids could start it up only applies to the Mk1. Nothing is said about the Mk2 or Mk2b. Remember the Mk3 was many years later and very different. The Mk1 was the toy plane that only worked in one direction. The Mk2 was another plane but could face any direction. The version I call the Mk2b was the one build by the engineers at the air field which was much larger. These were all build in the late 20s and early 30s but the Mk3 was in the 50s.

Hey Drak do you have Secrets of Perpetual Power Hendershot Mystery by Barry Hilton

It has all instructions for building the Capacitors

Hello Gazzasore,

clarence,

I can give you my suggestion for the best paper source, Its the same recommended source TESLA himself reccommended in his pattent application for his raidient energy system antenna insulation! namely ruby mica, ie. muscovite mica which is manufactured in sheet and paper roll (.004" and .006") by the USA company shown in the thumbnail info. the company site info states that it is used for high insulation dielectric and high thermal resistance purposes. excellent for capacitor uses.

the thumbnails give you all the contact info you will need, I have called them in the past for quotes and purchases. just thought I would pass it on!

mike, onward!

PS: I suggest pulling up their site and click on their PRODUCT LINE for your own satisfaction!

Good stuff thanks
Hell I'm still trying to Get Magnet wire

I found this also
a Good read

I would recommend to stick with http://www.rexresearch.com/hendersho...rchivesLJH.pdf and ask Mark Hendershot (if he is still alive) for details while rebuilding device.

The Lester baskets surely has to do something with magnetic fields manipulation from unconventional approach with shorted coil-core, capacitor on top and coils interacting with that capacitor in single system.

The "Hendershot Fuelless Generator" - The new coil - YouTube already showed unusual ringing effect and two of these baskets need to be interconnected. They may still need inital pulse with help of additional inductor to start process and the rest could be self sustaining.

P.S> Also you need to keep in mind this is noise picking up circuit and all filtering chokes or other filtering components must be not used there. It is inverted aproach from conventional signal filtering and the goal is to amplify noise, not signal...

Cheers!

Yes I have Email Mark but no reply yet cross your fingers

I can't stop thinking that maybe Hendershot took idea from Hubbard device or from the same source of information which let young Hubbard built his generator.
Actually if we remove all relay/oscillator part of Hendershot device it become two strange coils each one around center circle core. Like two slightly modified Hubbard devices. Hmm.... Hubbard device seems still superior to me because feedback is self-contained within coils system and do not need any oscillator type device. Surely this device is on top of all others due to simplicity.
No wonder we don't know anything about Hubbard device while Hendershot one is quite documented....

Well given that we don't have examples of either of these two devices "working" yet, its hard to tell which is superior. I think Hubbard's coil appears to be created with very simple ideas and is using MATH -- PHI ratio, and Wheeler's equations, etc. I'm curious about the rumor that Hubbard knew Tesla. example: Tesla’s Electric Car | Fuel-Efficient-Vehicles.org
After having read some biographies of Tesla, he was black-listed, and went into a mode where he released his inventions THRU other people -- or SEEDED the technology. A case in point is Tesla's relationship with Hammond, and all the many Hammond pattents that "smell" of Tesla's know how.

Hendershot, on the other hand, didn't have a relationship with Tesla, and appears to have been trying to solve the induction compass problem. The circles he traveled in would have exposed him to military and aviation know how, etc.

Both of these device do appear to have DISINFO associated with them ... so LOTS of documentation isn't necessarily good if it confuses everyone.
