You can see this clearly in old TV fly-back transformers. Could this secondary
resonance
be what you are tuning for?

OK
Let me see if I can make clear what I've been trying to point out. You make an
excellent
point in the first statement "Since the core is not continuously saturated, the
primary will
always couple highly to the secondary on it's leg".
It's just that we don't want ANY coupling. Before you think I just don't
understand
transformers I'd like to point out that a perfectly successful MEG is NOT a
transformer. It is
a dual closed flux pathway with 2 flux switches.
Consider a MEG core with output coils and magnet as we see on the patent.
Now, instead
of input coils, we cut an air gap in the core and put in that gap a "magic"
material that
would act as a switch for the flux. The 'magic' stuff would react to a low power
electronic
input by radically changing it's permeability from very permeable to perhaps the
permeability of air. It would do this without introducing flux into the core.
The only flux in
the core would be the magnet's.
The primary coils described in the MEG patent, IF wound properly, IF excited
with a
correctly shaped waveform, IF firing at exactly the right frequency, will, in
theory, give us
an over-unity condition. The problem arises in the delicate balance of necessary
"IF"
conditions that must be met for a successful experiment. What I'm suggesting is
that we
knock out some of these "IFs" by dropping the input coils as they are described
in the
patent and work on some kind of flux switch for the core instead. This could be
a new,
specially designed coil, or an exotic array of metals or something else. What
Dr. Bearden
has said all along is that we need to stop thinking along the lines of
traditional
transformer building. Anyway, that's what I've been working on.
