Ed Leedskalnin Magnet

[goatcheese1984]

Is it possible to have a magnet where its two spheres, one inside the other with opposite poles? And if so, I need 9 of them.

[Tenchcnet]

Proud to be Latvian now. Ed was our own little N. Tesla.

[nopethegeek]

@Tenchcnet Yes he was! Very clever little man he was.  I've been to Coral Castle and its breathtaking. Unfortunately the 9 ton gate no longer turns. :(

[TeenageIronman]

thats actually how they make magnets

[brotherboy77]

IMHO it's easy to explain: by switching it on and off you produce an electical spike in the coils. The spike causes an electromagnetic wave in the coils, which causes electrical spike, which causes an electromagnetic wave etc, etc.... so there is always a "magnetic flow" in this coil (steady changing direction)....... as long the wires are connected.... Interesting experiment nevertheless! PS: I used to experiment with spikes in coils, when I was 12 - It produced up to 90 Volts from 1,5 Volts ;)

[ThePaiva12345]

Seu imbecil a energia proposta na teoria de Ed Leedskalnin é levitação ou isolamento do campo gravitacional do objeto para transporte ou molde e não atração que é o que o seu projeto de primeiro grau fez.

[dagondrake]

just build ed`s transformer and connect it between the PMH and the light bulb and the light will stay on with out removing the bar INFACT THAT THE ONLY WAY THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF THEN WILL BE IF YOU TAKE THE BAR OFF OR IF THE BATTERY DIES TRY IT YOU PROBLY WON`T SO I DAREYOU TO GO WEAR ONLY FEW HAVE GONE!!!S[smarter not harder]

[Nomoreidsleft]

How long does it stay magnetized? Are we talking days or just seconds? The energy seems to be stored in the coils. It's causing oscillations. Kind of like ringing a bell, but using EM.

[ScalerWave]

Are you aware of anyone who has built a working model of Ed's flywheel device?

[o0OCognizanceO0o]

Ether technology. This experiment proves that ether is dynamic, the magnetic effect after the switch is closed is due to etheric momentum.

[1UL1U]

i don get it ,i dont know mutch about magnet ,but whene you took the batery off dint the magnet had to stop ? and the magnet ,would go one for how mutch ? whit out batery ,for eternaty ?or not .curca3@yahoo.com pelase send my masege .

[lykenth08]

Hi, can you use steel wire to make an electromagnet ? - it conducts electricity the same a copper ?

[codygillespie]

@lykenth08

Yes, you can use it. But no. it does not conduct as well as copper. Has higher resistance.

[lykenth08]

@codygillespie Hi, thanks for that. Iv just done a video useing steel wire (its uploading ATM ) but iv had strange results an behaviour i cant get my head round. could you take a look one time?

[rando1017]

What does this have to do with Ed Leedskalnin?

[danmo783]

AS smart as he was, why did Leeskalnin actually believe his teenage fiance would come back..... sigh.

[BDDFOUR]

With all respect: I believe that the bar is magnetized by direct current through the coils. The bar across the poles retains the magnetic field induced i the bar. Removing the bar briefly generates a current by causing the stored magnetic field to collapse about the coils - the light flashes. As expected.

[CONSTRINGACY]

Yep thats how power works.Magnets over coiled copper with movement.Im not sure what your trying to show hear?

[11111111jws]

I love my super glue too!

[tmmullenhevey]

did you not just make an inductor?

[shane0858]

@yttermayn and all........Ed's perp. motion model is not intended to be built bigger or anything or to provide us with free energy, it is a model of TRUE perp. energy.......once u charge the coils with energy, that energy will stay within the model for infinity, or until u release the energy into the bulb.......it doesn't matter how much energy you get from it, or how much more energy it takes to release the stored energy......

[Lesshardtofind]

My father and I did this experiment recently.  My hypothesis was at first that the retained magnetism was because bridging the gap between poles stopped the magnetic decay. I tried doing the same thing with making a "temporary" magnet with another permanent magnet. As soon as the permanent is removed the temporary looses its magnetivy. Now I have a very strong feeling that all we are observing is inductance in the coil. Since removing the coil from the experiment stops the phenomenon

[teslaresearch]

I have to say, this is a great demonstration! Good craftsmanship and video quality, keep up the good work!

[MCMLXIXTony]

neat

[71296105195]

I believe Ed had us make this to charge the magnets in the wheel.

[yttermayn]

Aren't we adding energy to the system when we force the bar away?

[codygillespie]

@yttermayn

Yes. There is energy stored within the core but in order to get it out we must supply some energy.

[yttermayn]

@codygillespie That makes sense. I wonder how much energy is used to release the stored energy?

[codygillespie]

@yttermayn

I havnt measure\d it but it seems like a fair amount, which is why i dont really think its practical for anything but a learning device. Its much more efficient to get the collapsing field by using the proper frequency at a givin inductance to catch the reactive flyback of the coil. It basically acomplishes the same thing without having to pull the bar off. The 4th vid demonstrates this effect.

[TheKaos90]

@codygillespie Can't this be considered a flux capacitor ? because basically that's waht it does ? capacitates energy via electromagnetic field collapse

[kkristss]

german technology is very cool!! i wish i was german =( .....i hate my country latvia becouse they never invented anything like this..

[mrcartoonmusicvideo]

turkish university has developed a magnetic engine using polarity awsome

[K0W0O0N0]

Nice demonstration...

Check out my Eddy Chain, u´ll like it :-]

[cocodrilll]

how strong do you have to pull ?

[cocodrilll]

wow this is great

[irondmax]

great work.

yes ed was a genious

[op684]

Cody, so in your opinion, what are the potential practical uses of this phenomenon?  And is this phenomenon explainable by conventional physics? Thank you for making this video, very interesting, too bad I don't have a background in any of this stuff to make my own conclusions. Need to get a book.

[codygillespie]

@op684

in its current form, i dont think its really practical for anything. I believe this phenomenon can be explained with conventional physics, but i have never seen an explanation for it, i think most people dont know the effect exists.

[op684]

@codygillespie

I think I found out the official explanation for this. It's called Remanence. Check it out and let me know if you think that explains it. Basically, electromagnetism has memory, and that keeps the output force there even after the input was removed.

[codygillespie]

@op684

interesting find. Im not positive if that explains it or not. The definition i read sounded like the term residual magnetism. If the two words are describing the same thing than its not it. But if its not the same thing, than maybe it is. Not sure, thanks.

[psyionx]

this look like the door lock.

[codygillespie]

@logicCplusplus

Has nothing to do with making permanent magnets, its an electromagnet. The iron does retain some residual magnetism, but not much. The magnetic field is stored within the closed flux path similiar to how capacitors store electric fields. Watch the movie some more or make your own and you will see. Defiantly different than scrap yard electromag function.

[logicCplusplus]

@codygillespie

Excellent, thank you!

[runnningrage]

So while the battery is disconnect is there still current run through one winding or two winding bifilier

[codygillespie]

@runnningrage

no, not until the core is broken

[MegaHazzer123]

i have a question- i held a magnet up to a light bulb which was switched on and the filament started to oscillate back and forward, i switched it off and found that the magnet had no effect on the filament while it was off, WTF?

[codygillespie]

@MegaHazzer123

Were you using an AC power source? The magnetic field of the filament will fluctuate polarity with the 60Hz wall power. Subjecting this to a magnet should cause a push/pull effect on the filament with the alternating current. Thats my best guess.

[MegaHazzer123]

@codygillespie yeah it was AC from a plug socket, but does tungsten become magnetised?

[codygillespie]

@MegaHazzer123

Im not positive on the residual magnetic effects of tungsten if thats what your asking, but any conductor with a current applied will have a magnetic field while current is running (while the switch is on). Im pretty sure thats what effect you are seeing, i have seen this behavior before from AC devices, its nothing unusual, but can be fun to play with ; )

[dannydoo]

You are missing the point! Why do you think the wire/box and bulbs sat up in the tri pod?

[Magikomik]

Great experiement

[Simonseke1]

Magnetic induction?

[codygillespie]

@Simonseke1

Yes this has to do with induction. Electricity is composed of a magnetic fields and dielectric fields. Dielectric fields can be stored in capacitors. What this device shows is that magnetic fields can be stored as well, its like an inductive capacitor.

[TheOriginalMACchine]

@codygillespie

Your demonstration implies superconductivity, normally the current would be blown off as heat in the wires once the battery is removed.

Perhaps Ed figured out that a natural magnet could be used to replace electrical polls and induce superconductivity or perhaps improved conductivity in ordinary conductors.

I went to Coral Castle and was told about the extra things on the Coral objects and thought Ed was charging up the pieces magnetically with lightning during storms !!!

[allthatjazz989]

Mr. Gillespie, I was wondering if you could describe your wiring diagram to this experiment exactly. I am trying to replicate it. Also, is that a 3 way switch?  Thanks alot!

[codygillespie]

@allthatjazz989

Well its pretty simple, the switch opens and closes the circuit to the primary power coil one way , and then the other way it closes the circuit to the LED on the secondary. Ed shows it wired differently if you read his magnetic current book, however no special wiring is required to get the effect. Mainly you need a good iron core that mates up perfectly and a coil with a good number of turns.

[codygillespie]

@codygillespie

Edit: sorry i forgot in this vid i dont use a secondary coil, so the switch closes the circuit to the coils and the battery one way and disconnects the battery and closes the circuit with the LED the other way.

[1979THEBEST]

ineedfiles: really?

[jexphe2k]

Ed's FLYWHEEL is a torsion field generator device

[freethisone]

yes indeed, i have solved final clue. prime quadruplets are how sun and moon increase, and phazes of moon. please see my movies i have solved puzzle

[ineedfiles]

i broke the code for 'a book in every home'!!!

go to my channel and download the zip file i made.

it has the pictures i made, and how to read THAT book.

[1979THEBEST]

really?

[jexphe2k]

I doubt with your set up, if it will be able to lift 20 lbs weight.

[jexphe2k]

the best thing to do in order prove that a magnetic current is really trap in that u shape electromagnet is to approach it with a compass. This perpetual motion holder were used by Ed, to strengthen the magnet in the V magnet that He used. The main thing that He use to construct the Coral Caste is the FLYWHEEL, we should all be focusing on that not the PERPETUAL MOTION HOLDER. Thnx for posting your video.

[elektrocuted123]

Isnt that induction?

[BDDFOUR]

I believe there is an explanatin for the momentary light from the LED. After connection, current from the 9 volt battery passes through the coils and creates an electromagnet which magnetizes the U shaped core and the piece that crosses its ends. When that pole piece is removed it causes the magnetism in the core to collapse across the coils which generates a voltage that lights the LED. This setup, an electromagnet is what is used to magnetize metal or pickup scrap iron in salvage yards etc.

[codygillespie]

I agree with the your explanation for the most part. But the electromags at the scrap yard defiantly do not use this specific application. Correct both are electromagnets, but the major difference is that the junk yards magnet requires a constant electrical current to operate, whereas my device stores the charge when its turned off. The ability to store magnetic current isnt something widely discussed.

[gilgamesh1962]

great video. seems to me whats happening is that when you turn the power your starting the magnetic "flow" which just continues to flow in loops. as soon as you remove the shunt piece, the magnetic field collapses, the only circuit available are the coil and load ( light ), at that point its working as a tesla coil ( flyback ). the real mystery here is the effect of a magnetic field that sustains itself. this may explain ball lightning, its like a magnetic bubble.

[codygillespie]

yea i would pretty much agree with your explanation. Weather or not the magnetic "flow" continues going in loops or if its some sort of static magnetic charge, i really havnt seen any proof as to what exactly its doing, i know leedskalnin believed it continued circulating.

[ineedfiles]

like static electricity.

we hold the current till we touch, and shock somebody

[skeletonbite]

Leedskalnin is a genius.

[chessmassacre]

@skeletonbite

WAS a genius

[4thdensityreality]

have you ever noticed that a young Nikola Tesla and Ed Leedskalnin looks very similar?

What if they are the same person, or relatives some how....their B-days and deaths are very close . just a thought

[thebigseahorse]

@4thdensityreality

[thebigseahorse]

@4thdensityreality Very well said! They are both so similar.

[Kostly]

@4thdensityreality Interesting.

[dicegirl711]

@4thdensityreality....my thoughts exactly the second I saw Leedskalnin's picture.

[otnomnoraa]

@4thdensityreality Tesla and Leedskalnin were both from Slavic countries... and Slavic peoples, coincidentally, also have the largest brains. The brutal communism that took over most of Eastern Europe would not have been nearly so productive if it hadn't been applied to such capable people.

[vbyuer]

@otnomnoraa

Damn, you shocked me there for a moment, I really thought you were from Finland, but I guess you're just another ignorant American, who doesn't know shit about Europe.

Liedskalniņš wasn't Slavic. He was Latvian. Latvians are Balts. To put it simply, Balts have been fighting wars against Slavs for more than a thousand years. There probably isn't a worse insult to a Latvian than calling him a Slav.

[vbyuer]

@otnomnoraa

And, no, Slavs aren't particularly brainy. In fact, Serbia (Tesla was Serbian) has one of the lowest average IQs in Europe, as do most of the other Slavic countries.

Your point regarding Soviet Union isn't just invalid, it is as retarded as anything can be. Stalin systematically killed people from the middle and upper class, people, who were mostly genetically superior to the average "worker". The people were poor, uneducated and stupid and there was nothing productive about it.

[otnomnoraa]

@vbyuer I heard Communists have big cocks. Is it true?

[vbyuer]

@otnomnoraa

You probably heard that at the local gay bar. It shouldn't be too hard to ask that question later today when you're there again.

[otnomnoraa]

@vbyuer Add me on MSN; I will give you a cam show.

[vbyuer]

@otnomnoraa

Thanks, not interested.

[HOPPERFZR]

@otnomnoraa go watch your granny porn and try not to interupt the more intelligent life forms you freak

[otnomnoraa]

@HOPPERFZR Go prolapse your rectum with a watermelon, you microcephalic Australian aborigine. And tie your dick into a pretzel while you listen to Celine Dion while you're at it, why don't you?

[Simulacrafice]

@4thdensityreality ive thought about the same thing

[sn1pe352]

Keep up the good work cody, hit me up on aim sometime and lets talk

[pkrska]

It's called sacred geometry. Secrets that the Freemasons don't want the common man knowing about. Get rid of Freemasons and we can then have equal footing for all man. Finally being able to share information freely!!!

They call themselves free-masons because they are free to know. We are slaves, not free.

[Cloxxki]

I'm not educated in electrics, so it's easy for me to guess that the coils were just like capacitors. The bar clung on, kept the circuit closed, like a vacume. Not even sure whether the current needs to "run" to sttically keep the bar in place like that.

Looking forward to the summary of narutoz1996's book!

[joelito101]

It looks like 2 closed circuits to me, one created from electricy or electron going around the coils, it then generates a magnetic field that is also a closed loop. one maintaining the other.

[codygillespie]

I think i would love to build a spaceship. I am aware of the effects but honestly im not the person to ask about that. Those are experiments on my to do list : )

[codygillespie]

Science has come a long way, and many great things have come from our current understanding of nature, but we cant yet explain everything. So yes some things will change or get added to as our understanding increases. But i wouldnt go discrediting the work that has been done just yet.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Nice little set up......Someone at Purdue did a similiar one to yours, people still argue exactly what the implications are of it. Ive done a similiar (much less impressive) version.... By taking two paper clips and a magnet hold the mag to one clip and pick up the other. Now SLOWLY take away the magnet and the clips will stay together...yet if you try to pick up even a tiny scrap of metal at their junction point it will not work.....so the effect is not a magnetic one(well not outwardly anywy)

[frenchpunk25]

Actually, the interaction is magnetic. The paper clips are roughly the same size, so at the junction of the two paper clips the net magnetic field is zero (or nearly zero).

Try magnetizing a much thicker paper clip and then picking up a smaller one. After you pull away the magnet, you should be able to pick up some metal scraps (iron filings should work best) at the junction point, since there net magnetic field is no longer canceled out completely.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Hmmm nice Idea, I will have to try that....yeah I guess what I meant by "not outwardly" was that the magnetic field seemed to be completely contained within the clips rather than traveling outside of them. I like your thoughts on the subject however...I will have to try that little experiment....thanks!

[qwikstix3]

You know what I think? We shouldn't call Ed, Ed. We should call him, ET!

[alex681219]

This device seems like a joule thief and is similar to the mac farland cook battery (look pat2pdf (dot) org 119825. Very interesting!!!

Tkx for share

[toddytee11]

This has implications to great things which ed was aware of I believe...Keep up the good work

[narutoz1996]

The way Ed explains this, is that once you set magnetism in a stationary orbit around an object, it will stay in perpetual motion until disturbed, and this experiment proves his theory. I think Ed stumbled upon a secret and spent the rest of his life trying to figure it out. I believe that Ed was telling us much more than we realize....I am working on a book that will reveal some information hidden in plain sight. Maybe this will help someone solve the puzzle. Well done video!!

[wsetrecords]

Holy f_cking sh!t you have to be kidding me! Just when it I thought I couldn't have more issues with sleep, I stumble on this video. Very good work, I just finished reading his books, and I am so ecstatic that you have a documented example. It's time to build some pyramids!!!

[justin2535]

holy cow!

[brantc]

What he said!!!!

[OutlanderOfEarth]

After studying Leedskalnins work for some time, I believe that this tool is a primer to show a bigger principle.

Magnetism can control electricity.

Magnetism IS electricity,

just a different application of the same force.

[themanyone]

They are one and the same. Einstein unified the two forces into electromagnetism 100 years ago, but people still think of them as separate. Perhaps it is because of the way textbooks make them out.

[tvryb]

This principle was the basis for the memory of the first supercomputer in the "SAGE" radar system!

Magnetic Core Memory

[RLore18]

I read Ed's book, and the section which lays out this U-shaped device claims that it can produce free energy by 'setting the individual magnets into a permanent orbit around the device'.

My question for you is, does this happen on your device? Can you power the lightbulb without a battery, or is it just one brief flash of light that is generated? Is it possible to setup the device to output free energy as Ed claims?

[codygillespie]

Hi RLore18, To answer your question, no free energy from this device in its current form that i can detect. The device does however produce some sort of permanent orbit like he says. I think its intended to be more of a learning device, than an actual useful device. That "permanent orbit" effect is strange and not something that is taught about magnets, i think that is the point, for us to try to understand and apply it.

thanks for your interest,

cody

[RLore18]

I'm leaning towards that explanation as well, and thank you for clarifying.

I must have misinterpreted what Ed was talking about, because I've seen a lot of replications of this device and its purpose doesn't seem to be free energy.

Ed wasn't a master of English anyhow, it was a little tough making it through the whole book. I will probably have to re-read it a couple of times before I can understand it better.

[o1yz250]

I dont understand how this principle applies to lifting coral or limestone 30 ton blocks.

[codygillespie]

Im not sure that it does apply to lifting large stones either. Why did Ed Leedskalnin leave behind these strange anomalies about magnetism, i have no idea. Does it relate to whatever he was up to? Maybe, but dont think anyone has figured that out yet.

[marthale7]

I would be very interested in the strength of tthe magnetic field. I did noticed that when you removed the bar from the coils the light lit up. Very cool.

[codygillespie]

I cant detect any magnetic field while its charged up. Lighty did some good tests to prove that. It just looks like a normal piece of iron to the world. Its as if all the flux is concentrated inside the iron, strange but thats how it behaves.

[picaso2140]

How long does the charge hold? Is it infinate or does it eventually wear off?

[codygillespie]

As far as i can tell, as well as other peoples results, it will defiantly hold for a long time. Im not going to claim that it can hold infinitely, but i know others believe that to be true. I have not detected any sign of it wearing off over time, but i also have not done any extensive testing on it. I would say its possible.

[InventorGadget]

woah! intresting.. care to post a schematic ?

[codygillespie]

Thanks, i will post a schematic if i make another video. Its actually very simple. You dont even need 2 coils, one will work. Put your coil on your u shaped bar, set the other bar on top, touch the coil leads to a battery for a second. Thats it! You have your permanent electromagnet even when you disconnect the battery. Then hook the coil leads up to a bulb(led in this case) and rip the bar off the top.

[uusedman]

nice setup.

[GBluer]

Very nice video Cody.
