Eric Dollard has said that, "All you need to synthesize electricity are caps and coils" and I have made that my standard from the beginning of my self-guided study of free energy over the past six years. But, now, I'm finding (with the help of this circuit topology from Byron Brubaker) that diodes can substitute in place of coils under certain conditions. Why? Because... Coils give us reverse current called, "Back EMF". And this current is not unlike the blockage which diodes give us since, in both cases: an opposing force is restricting forward thrust. Consider this opposing force of coils is called: "inductive impedance" while the opposing force of diodes is called: "resistance." They, both, are serving the same function: a one-way blockage. The difference with coils, is that it'll block you either way regardless of the direction of applied voltage. And this is where we get thrown off (prevented from) making this analogy (between coils and diodes). Yet, functionally speaking, they are performing the same function and each in their own unique way. And, ... Under the beneficial influence of a free energy circuit lending its support, both coils and diodes can become generators of power (negative watts: the polarity of voltage is opposed to the polarity of current). This was the first format of an indication that diodes are, in the words of Paul Falstad's comments regarding diodes (which he makes note of in his simulator's software code): "diodes act weird, sometimes". ["Weird", in his vernacular, may be equivalent to "overunity" in mine?] Consequently, he places an artificial limit of 1k amperes on his diodes. This is the institution of a policy having nothing to do with electrodynamic theory. It has more to do with the assertion of agendas and policies behind science along with its commercialization and the social engineering which has become the foundation for manipulating mass psychology. Best of all... Substitution (under simulation) works! Maybe each version (of the same function) requires its own unique archetypal, circuit topology to adapt to the peculiar uniquenesses of coils versus diodes, but -in the end- we can get very similar results. So, this means that we don't always have to wind coils! BEST OF ALL! WHEW! THAT'S A RELIEF... =================================================== Strangely enough, capacitors -- which are supposed to be the complimentary opposite of coils (according to Eric Dollard's suggestion: noted, above), are constructed from two diodes which either face each other or face away from each other. This suggests, that: we have three fundamental building blocks of free energy circuits synthesizing electricity during run-time due to each of these three types of components is built up from the previous type in a sequential fashion. In other words, ... Capacitors are built from diodes. Diodes are built from conductive resistors. Coils are wound from conductors. So, a diode is more fundamental than either a capacitor or a coil since diodes spawned both. And, a resistor is more fundamental than a diode since a resistor is more simple in its design by comparison to a diode. So, that makes a total of four fundamental building blocks of electricity... 1. Resistor 2. Diode 2a. Capacitor 2b. Coil So, in modification to what Eric has said, it merely takes resistors and diodes to synthesize electricity if it is undertood that caps and coils will be derived from this basic pair of components. =================================================== Ignoring, for the moment, the four diode, full bridge rectification acting as the fundemental core of this overunity circuit (which generates power in the format of negative watts)... The three schematics of... brubaker6h4c_schematic.png brubaker6h4c2_schematic.png brubaker6h4c2b_schematic.png ...each tell a different story. brubaker6h4c_schematic.png ...is the circuit before an enhancement becomes possible by the addition of several more diodes placed at the loads... brubaker6h4c2_schematic.png These additional diodes are added to boost output and make it obvious that energy is coming from the Earth through the grounds on the left. brubaker6h4c2b_schematic.png This schematic reduces overall output (by delaying its explosive growth) yet gives us the diagnosis of how the nine grounds on the right are also feeding from the Earth in addition to the three grounds on the left. Whether these diodes are included in your build, or not, is not as interesting as whether the inclusion of these diodes gives the additional benefit of severely reducing the performance of this circuit if these diodes are reversed from their optimal orientation. =================================================== Diodes, D1 and D2, generate power most of the time leading up to just before they collapse at which point they consume power for a very short period of time until this simulation halts with error. Diodes, D3 and D4, generate power all of the time. =================================================== If you don't like applying the term of the "generation of power" to circumstances which lacks any obvious prime mover, then use the term of... "accumulates negative watts" =================================================== Inductors, IndLoad and IndBallast, consume power most of the time leading up to just before they collapse at which point they generate power for a very short period of time until this simulation halts with error. Capacitors, C3 through C11 and GndCap, consume power most of the time leading up to just before they collapse at which point they generate power for a very short period of time until this simulation halts with error. Capacitors, C12 through C20, consume power all of the time. Capacitors, C1 and C2 and CapLoad, consume power all of the time. Resistors, RLoad and Drain, consume power all of the time. =================================================== The Current Source, within the AirGap macro, is consuming power. The Negative Resistor, within the AirGap macro, is producing power.
