When you built your new 8" coil with the lower frequency, what did you use as a signal/function generator? All the generators I've found on the bay that go below 100kHz are a bit pricey and/or intended for audio applications.

@phalenor Sorry for the delay, it was just a fairly old one on Ebay. Not digital, but an old transistor job.

what signal generator and where can i get one please help

[follytowers]

Any old cheap used signal generator on Ebay that can give an adjustable sine wave signal close to your coil's own resonant frequency will do.

Use JAVATC software (Google it) to find your coils freq. If it gave your res freq as 200khz for example, you would need a sig gen capable of giving 150khz to 250 khz approx'

Thank you very much for your video I like it and your presentation is extremely condensed. I appreciate your time. We are in similar field

I'm progressing with OU

If you have the second thought about magnetic generator then ---

You can trust the government and the big corporation

to block this option of Free Energy

Like they already doing with Magnetic Generators

Just go to Google, search for

Best Magnetic Generator

and Click the First Result

@nlimchua I can tell you that the only thing that changes when you do this is the phase of the primary. It will have no effect on the resonance freq of primary or secondary, as long as all applicable variables are constant.

here's a design question for you: (have you observed or tried this?) would there be any noticeable performance difference if the direction of the primary winding is the same or opposite that of the secondary? ie. primary clockwise, secondary counter-clockwise; vice versa. Thanks.

@follytowers What about the wireless transmission of electrical energy through the air as nikola tesla described? Oh, right, not really practical lol

Hi,

does the best power transfer occur from the primary to the seondary, when the 2 coils

are in resonance ?

Did you try some Kapanadze tests yet ?

Have a look at my youtube account for these videos.

Many thanks.
