How to Move Mountains... Leedskalnin Style

[redrichie]

here are some photos for dissection from my trip to coral castle. These are the equipment that are in his tool room. This may take a few post so bare with:
This is heavy bare copper wire rolled and hanging on the wall:


Here various bottle coils:

This coil has a clip lead connected to it.

MOre coils to the left of display board:

crystal radio parts. dismantled and mounted to wood.

notice coils of wire on tools. This is everywhere on tolls in this room


the handle crank looks like the center portion of eds flywheel

and now the flywheel:\

Thanks Redrichie!

Those are some very nice photographs

That large block with what seems to be electrodes extending from the ends with wire wrapped on them - is that wood or rock?
It looks like wood at first glance, but it texture seems different than the other one under it.

Thank you very much for getting those and showing how things are connected and supported.

Cheers,

Hi all.
@Broli. That experiment doesn't make much sense to me. Two coils, 8 wires shown? If you removed the red and blue wires then the coils would be correct. So where do the red and blue wires go? With the coils connected as if a single wire then only 2 connections are available.

About the iron, I think the wrought iron is best because it suits Ed's wording for the making of the keeper. Quote "If possible use laminated iron."
The wrought iron has a laminated structure that is more suited to the laminated keeper. Plus I've tried some steels already.
The steels tend to remain magnetized but the iron should not.
Ed wrote "the soft iron does not hold the magnets, it throws them out."
Oh BTW just for the record..I work as an Engineering Patternmaker, and spent a little over 10 years working in a steel foundry....
That's partly where my interest comes from.

I could by the iron from "realwroughtiron" but I could not afford it.
I'll get it here fairly easily and I can also forge smaller bits together if I have to. It's just time and work, and I always have too many projects.

Sorry it took so long Harvey. The block to the front with the electrodes is definitely wood. It is just old and worn. Electricity running through it may have helped to age it some. What gets me is the picture of the flywheel with the electric motor. look at the block its mounted with. right in the center it has 2 bolts and a grove where something was mounted there. something that may have meshed with the flywheel that was turned by the electric motor.
I am not claiming a self runner here, even though that would be neat. but he could have used a battery to power the motor when he needed the electricity but could not be in the room to manually turn the handle.

Motor?

Hi all, The motor in the picture looks more like an old generator like was used on automobiles until the mid 60's. I worked on a lot of those in my earlier days. On some small lawn and garden tractors they were built with heavier windings and were used as a starter and then after the engine was started they switched over and were used as a generator. Thanks a lot for the pictures. I was able to see some details I have never seen before in the other pictures I have seen of the Coral Castle.

Thanks again, Carroll

Looks like a face.

Looks like a face.

Thank You! I thought I was freaking out when I saw those, all three of them. Then I started seeing all sorts of patterns in the walls

[sucahyo]

Wow, many thanks for the picture redrichie .

I don't know if the book was translated but it might be a good buy.

The above information might have been know to Ed Leedskalnin, if so, it might be part of the puzzle.

Take care all,

Michel

No problem. I got off from work on a friday. Told my wife to pack the kid and our things and we ventured off. Don't know why, but I had to go. Wish I could have stayed longer and studied some more, to see if anything revealed itself to me. But it was a long drive down, and though patient, my wife was kinda tired and understands, but doesnt feel things like I do. Im just glad I got to go and the weather was good.
there seems to be many weird things happening in the world these days. So much stuff about Ed, and alternative energy. The "one magnet no bearing" thread has some neat stuff happening right now. Dr. stiffler is making hydrogen wirelessly. Solar storms that cause the Aurora to drop down to the central latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Not being a doomsdayer, just think the time for things to start revealing themselves is coming. Neat times ahead. I wish us all well.
Can anyone figure out what the device is in front of the generator in the photo from the beginning of this thread. the one below the bar. The bar is connected to the leads on each side of the block of wood in front of the flywheel. but in order for for the flywheel to charge anything a coil of some sort must be used right?
