Questions and Answers about the invention of Ed Leedskalnin:


Q1) What makes Lenz Law applicable to the contemporary power generation?

A1) It is only now when I have realized the significance of my experimenting with diamagnetism and its impact on the contemporary power production and the Lenz Law. This experimenting reveals that diamagnetism is only a temporarily induced property. Diamagnetism is caused by induction of circular (eddy) electric currents within some materials, copper being one of them. As an external magnetic field approaches copper (let copper stand in for any diamagnetic material), eddy currents induced within copper create their own magnetic field, which always opposes the polarity of the induction field. Therefore the copper is temporarily repulsed by the approaching external magnetic field, disregards its polarity. This repulsion eventually disappears as the eddy currents within cease to flow. Once the magnetic field is being withdrawn from the copper, the diamagnetism reverses and now the copper follows, or appears to be attracted by the external magnetic field. This is the underlying principle behind the Lenz Law effect in copper coil assisted standard power generation.

Q2) What underlying principle causes magnification of magnetic field initiated by a coil under electric current? [As it is a known fact that a given coil with an iron (ferromagnetic if you insist) core produces much stronger magnetic field than the same coil without the iron core.

A2) Ferromagnetism is again caused by induced eddy currents within the ferromagnetic material (let iron stand for all ferromagnetic materials). The differences between diamagnetism and ferromagnetism are as follows:

Iron material structure organizes itself under the influence of an external magnetic field for the duration of that influence, as opposed to diamagnetism.

Ferromagnetism is always attractive, as opposed to diamagnetism, which is directionally alternating.

Iron has the capacity to grossly enhance the density of the external magnetic field, as opposed to diamagnetism, which never even matches the density of the external field. The ferromagnetic enhancement is caused by domain restructuring. While diamagnetism only induces eddies in the existing crystalline structure, ferromagnetism also changes the material structure by blocks (domains).

Q3) Why did Ed Leedskalnin say: "I made more electricity with steel than I ever made with copper"?

A3) Ed Leedskalnin has stated "I made more electricity with steel, than I ever made with copper", because he has found out during his experimentations that induction of steel wire coil by a magnetic field always caused attractive force between the inducing field and the field of the induced coil, as opposed to a copper coil. This means that a magnetic rotor finger approaching a steel coil is attracted to that coil. As it retreats, it is again attracted to it. This comes to a wash and there is no net back torque on the rotor except for friction.

Q4) What kind of electric generator did Ed Leedskalnin attempt to patent in the US according to his own claim, a patent application which has never appeared on US patent Office records?

A4) Following that, Ed Leedskalnin had built a generator with steel wire windings, or more likely rewound an existing one securing for himself his own source of free electric power. He lived happily ever after till the time when his vanity got better of him and made him to apply for a patent on his invention. Only that this is the big No-No explicitly spelled out in US Patent Office regulations. US Patent Office will not issue a patent for anything, which is claimed to provide free energy or, in their own language, a perpetual motion machine. Because Ed's was an over unity device, Ed's patent application has never made it into the US patent office records, never mind ever being granted.

Q5) What has really happened to Ed Leedskalnin? This is the same man who lived alone in his majestic Coral Castle without paying a penny to an electric utility company having no hydro hook up. Yet he had electric power available on the premises without any known source. This man tried to patent something with which electricity can be produced, a generator. This man has disappeared one day leaving only a note on his door: "Gone to the hospital". He allegedly dies two days later in the hospital of cancer. Not a single witness to his last trip, no one claiming to have given him a ride. Did the man, who should have been laid down on his death bed, really walk for miles to get to the hospital?

A5) And, because someone got somehow hold of Ed's patent application and found out (or knew) that the thing worked, Ed Leedskalnin had suddenly died "of cancer".

New Hi Simon,

I have a hard time understanding how to circumvent Lenz's Law by using steel wire instead of copper wire on an electromagnet as described in the text on the page:

http://gratisenergi.se/leedskalnin.htm

The idea only applies to electric generators. But I am interested to know if the idea of steel wire instead of copper wire can be used in the Clemente Figuera transformer? As an input power, I imagine 2 copper coils that create magnetic north and south poles and output power through a steel coil that bypasses Lenz's Law. Will it work?

Best wishes, Hermes



New Hi Hermes,

Easy enough to wind coils using iron wire, so I suggest you try it.

However, I'll predict that you won't get free energy this way. It doesn't bypass Lenz's law - to do that you need to use the limited speed of light, or to find a way that will use less work to change the magnetic field than you can generate as a result of that magnetic flux change. The only way I currently expect to work for that second method is to use the Meissner effect and superconductors. There might be a way using the dependence of permeability of ferrites on the mechanical stress applied to them, but the test I did a while back implied that doesn't work in the way I tested (single magnetic path). Might work if you switch the flux between two paths, but I haven't tested that. I don't hold out much hope for that, but at some point I'll test it.

For the first way, you may be able to use the somewhat slower speed of light in ferrites (high permeability, but permittivity not much different from free space) to reduce the distance you need to travel to get a 1/4 wave offset between source and destination at frequencies you can attain. You may need to use multiples of that distance to get into far-field, so may take a while to find a design that works even if the idea is right.

For Iron, though the permeability is high, there's no data for the permittivity I know of, so the speed of light within Iron probably isn't known, and in any case light doesn't travel well anyway because of the electrons. The EM wave as such is outside the Iron, but the magnetic wave internally must have a speed of propagation. May be possible to set up something to measure it, though, but you would need an insertion coil and a couple of pickup coils at known distances along the Iron, given that the rise-time of the input coil wouldn't be that certain enough to time from the input signal. Of course, if you wind a coil of Iron wire, the magnetic wave would travel across the wires rather than through them, so the delay would be a lot smaller.

It's almost certain that those historical claims of Free Energy were lies, given the number of people who have tried to replicate them. If you want to succeed, it follows that you need to do something that's significantly different. To achieve that, you need to think about what's actually happening, and find some sneaky way around what normally happens by exploiting some other property.

It is of course also possible that the descriptions left out something critical because the inventor didn't realise it and accidentally got things right. Maybe a particular source of materials, or getting some dimensions exactly right by chance. Maybe one device worked, but replications (even by the inventor) didn't. That's a pretty unlikely chance, but possible (it applies to LENR experiments often). Unless you can figure out why it could have worked, though, you can't design one with exactly the right materials and forms that will work. My bet, though, is that almost all the claims were lies or measurement errors. Too many people have tried to replicate them (and failed) to give any confidence that the claims were at all true.

Best regards, Simon
