problem with the MEG as described in the patent   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1294 of 1374 |
Those of us who have built a MEG know the basic circuitry is simple
enough to impliment. Obtaining the Metglas core is also just a matter
of the proper email or phone call plus money. However, there is a flaw
in the patent design which only stands out after a thorough study of
the effect that the MEG attempts to exploit-The Aharanov-Bohm effect.
This effect covers several areas of physics to include magnetics. An
understanding of the AB magnetic effect is essential to the proper
building of a device like the MEG. If we carefully study the AB
effect, we will come to the conclusion that a traditional build of the
MEG, using typical transformer technology, will yield a transformer
and not an over-unity device. Here's the bottom line: if the control
coils create flux which travels outside the core, the device becomes a
transformer. In fact, that's why the Metglas core was used in the
first place! It is so permeable to flux that the inventors hoped that
the control coils flux would stay inside the core. Anthony Craddock
(Bearden's website guy and an engineer) told me that successful MEG
configurations were very carefully wound. However, careful winding and
attention to material is not what the MEG needs. What the MEG needs,
instead of control coils, are areas of the core which have variable
permeability controllable with the same basic circuitry. The control
coils are meant to change permeablity, but introduction of flux into
the space around the core makes the MEG just a magnetically biased
transformer. If some of us come up with a core which has control
areas-that leak no flux into the space around the core, we won't even
need Metglas any longer.
Let's stick together and come up with the solution!
