trying to make it work
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.
