As I said earlier, electrical machines are not my speciality but is there any likely-hood of a similar fate for your switch when used under load, which of course you must do to make your experiment work? Paul D I hope not. It was a normal way of changing speeds on motors in the old days. My original idea was to use two motors belted to the same wheel, using the 2pole machine to rev up the flywheel. switching between motors. Direct drive would be better.. I never realised just how inefficient belts are.

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune ). On the subject of switching from two pole to four pole operation while the system is energised. I built a mains adjuster monster about twenty five years ago which used a 600W auto transformer for the basic 117/230V adjustment with taps to accommodate primary voltages of 95-105-115-125 and 190-210-230-250V. This gives a good range adjustment but it is a bit coarse so I took a transformer from an old valve TV receiver, the core dimensions of which suggested a 400W capability, stripped off the secondaries and wound ten new secondaries to give ten 1% increments which I then wired in series with the output of the auto transformer. This fine adjuster was connected to the i/p voltage whatever it chanced to be. In operation, one sets the main transformer to either step up or step down via a ten amp switch (I think -- it was a long time ago) with an intermediate off position. The output was then set with the coarse tapping switch and the fine 1% increment switch until the desired voltage was achieved. The fine adjustment voltages were given added flexibility by allowing phase reversal of the i/p voltage via a much smaller current simple dpdt switch -- after all, the primary current is much lower than the secondary current. When I had it all assembled, I did the usual cautious testing, all of which showed the system to be working correctly. I then started loading it in increments and changing the taps to see whether there was any significant arcing of the switch contacts. I had been careful to verify that the switches were of the break-before-make variety so I didn't expect any significant problems, but on the second or third operation of the fine adjuster phase reversal switch, it made a large bang and emitted fire and smoke. Thinking about it after replacing the barbecued switch, I realised that I had gained a valuable appreciation of the energy stored in an inductance. I subsequently modified the operating procedure to exclude phase reversal while energised. And here we get back to your two pole / four pole change-over. As I said earlier, electrical machines are not my speciality but is there any likely-hood of a similar fate for your switch when used under load, which of course you must do to make your experiment work?

Do I detect joyous humour or slight sarcasm... <Abolutely the former. Sarcasm achieves nothing useful -- I try to avoid it but sadly, every so often I do slip up. > either way its appreciated. Actually my serious writings are mostly created subconsciously, whilst asleep.. When its ready it comes to me and I then type it.. That is the work I suppose, correcting the draft presentation, which might take half an hour of real time.. LOL I'm sorry I can't reward you with a closely reasoned response. Reward enough if you just pass it on to YOUR friends for evaluation. However you did mention Aspden -- twice. I recall that you were going to do some experiments with flywheels accelerating more rapidly the second time if not too much time had expired between runs. Did you ever get to do anything on that? Have the bicycle wheels , have the motors waiting on time for the pulleys belts etc, rather expensive for my finances. Even if you have not, can you tell me just what sort of difference you expected to see? What is "too much" time? And I think there was something about magnets involved -- just what sort of magnets were needed? How many, in what configuration? Although I have read Aspden for years, it was in collaboration with some of the stuff Robert Bennett wrote concerning the aether which pointed me in this direction. I have not confirmed it yet, as others have claimed, but essentially the practical application is this, in three statements. 1. A flywheel with given Mass at xyz rpm wiill contain enough energy to do E amount of work Let us call it 10E kW. This is the same amount of work as was done in bringing it up to xyz rpm. (standard physics.) 2. If the 10E kW were extracted quickly, in stopping the wheel and doing work, then it would take less than 10E kW to return it to the original speed of xyz rpm, provided it was done within a given time, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let us say ths is only 5E kW 3. However, the energy return if the process is repeated remains at 10E kW. Aspden claims that the rotation of the wheel in some way disperses the aether, or weakens it such that less energy is required to raise the rotational speed. It is not a rotation of the aether, because the effect is the same even if the rotation of the wheel was reversed to the opposite direction. Why a time limit? Let me speak heliocentrically for your easier comprehension. If the effect of this "vacuum in the aether" is in the aether , and assuming the aether is still, then as the world moves on around its merry way, after 15 minutes, the wheel will be outside of this influence. Such a theoretical assumption even over 15 minutes, for the speed of the world in rotation would require a big volume of influence indeed, and as regards the movement around the sun, it becomes almost untenable. From the geocentric view, we only have to worry about the relatively slow equatorial speed, of an aether moving past the stationary world and my wheel. I am suddenly curious about the effect of this timing of 20 minutes as regards the latitude where the experiment was done. I did not see need for any magnets .. Not in this test. I will bore you with the latest idea. If my motor is pullied to the biccycle wheel. The motor is a two speed , motor which gives 3000 rpm in 2 pole configuration, and 1500 rpm in 4 pole config. Its important that you know that any induction motor connected to the mains power , if oversped , will generate power into the mains. This is called a synchronous generator. I will take the speed change wires from the switch to a timed relay, which will be timed to do the following. a. in 2 pole , run the wheel up to 3000 rpm, immediately changing over to 4 pole where the normal speed is 1500rpm. b. The flywheel will generate power back into the mains untill the speed drops down to 1500rpm, when the relay will changeback and so repeat the process. On the subsequent repeats a net gain of power will be shown if Aspden is correct. I have one of those power point Kwh meters .. If my motor is supplied through this, then after an hour or so operation it will surely let us know if there is any gain.... Let me say that everything I know about physics, tells me I am going to waste my time.. How could so many kids doing lab experiments miss this in their calculation.. Near enoug is good enough and they guessed the friction losses wrongly. Perhaps. < I am impressed by your ingenuity. It would not ever have occurred to me. While I accept your assertion about two and four pole operation -- it rings true in my ears -- I have little affinity for electric machines. We did study them in my basic training but only in theory. You get a much better understandig of these things if you can verify the theory with practical experiment. > Paul D and Philip M ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: philip madsen <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: philip madsen <joyphil@xxxxxxxxxxx>; geocentrism list <geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; governor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Robert Bennett <robert.bennett@xxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, 16 October, 2008 8:53:54 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Aether again EXCLUSIVE RELEASE Free Its time I went public with an explanation of the aether.
