The Enigma of Coulomb’s Law and Free Energy

Coulomb's Law

At first glance the formulas of Coulomb’s Law and Newton's Law of Universal
Gravitation appear very similar. Both determine forces present.

Upon closer examination, due to the constants (K) they are quite different. If ones (1) were placed in the places of m1, m2, and d of Newton’s law, the resultant force of gravity would be relatively insignificant. However, if ones (1) were placed in the places of q1, q2, and d of Coulomb’s Law, the resultant force would be incredible. It would roughly translate to about a million tons.
This means if you have (for one moment) one ampere’s worth of current of positive charge and one ampere’s worth of current of negative charge with a meter’s distance between them the ‘static cling’ force would be about a million tons.
Now, reduce all the variable of Coulomb’s Law by a thousand (.001) and the force available would still be about a million tons. This means if you have (for one moment in time) one milliampere’s worth of positive charge and one milliampere’s worth of negative charge with a millimeter between them the ‘static cling’ force would be about a million tons.

What is the enigma of Coulomb’s Law?

No way would you have to exert that amount of force to create this condition. Coulomb’s Law is a major ‘glitch’ in the current science paradigm. It is a ‘glitch’ in two basic physics tenets.

Why hasn’t this been used? The problem is like charges repel each other. To create a condition that holds a bunch of electrons in one place, those electrons have to be put under pressure. Pressure in electrical terms is voltage. To create a condition that would use this force millions of volts may have to be used. This is not that difficult to do this and it does create some arcing problems. That much voltage is hard to contain specially with opposing charges at close distances. So, electric field forces’ use have been restricted to small scale applications like watches and power meters.
Coulomb’s Law is why high voltage capacitors will always be ‘chunky’. We have the thin material that can stand the high voltage. But, the capacitor plates can’t be too close together. If the plates were too close together, the force between the plates would literally pinch the insulator and short out the capacitor.
There is a whole study in physics around this called quantum electro-dynamics. One explanation that current physicists propose is that there are virtual photons and these virtual photons have the potential of infinite force and are everywhere. Creating this condition brings the infinite potential virtual photons from the virtual realm to the physical realm.
This communication is not about the theory nor will it try to explain how this ‘glitch’ is possible. The idea is to figure out how to access this force rather than ‘back-pedal’ or explain it through the current science paradigm.

Possible Application (a transducer)

Arcing completes a circuit between two voltage potentials within a closed system -- a circuit.
When arcing occurs, two oppositely charged static voltage potentials cancel each other out. The arcing problems that occur are usually between two electrically isolated voltage potentials -- pressures -- necessary to hold a charge and they are part of the same circuit -- within a closed system.
Anyone or anything that is not part of the closed system can touch an element of that circuit without affect.
An example of this is a sparrow on a high voltage power line. A sparrow can sit on a high voltage power line because the sparrow is not part of the circuit.
With an eagle or hawk however, it is a different story. It is common for these birds to get 'zapped' when there wings bridge two high voltage power lines. They become a part of the closed system.

Explanation of Included Figures

Figure A
An example of electric induction (top) and a curved polarized electrically neutral conductor core with a movable conductor target (bottom).
The bottom figure shows how polarization of the curve poles can induce a charge in a conductive target.
This figure also shows an optional thin layer of dielectric insulation to discourage ionization conduction (1)
In addition, this figure illustrates how -- because the induced charge is in a closed system -- that there is little danger of shock.

Figure B
Shows how Acan be accomplished by burying a series of high voltage emitters separated by conductive core material.
An emitter is a conductor laminated between two high voltage dielectric insulators.
Consequently, these emitters are dielectrically insulated from the core.
This figure also shows an optional insulated ‘break’ in the middle of the electrically neutral conductor (2) and an optional complimentary voltage (like a battery) applied across the ‘break’ (3).
Again, this figure illustrates that there would be little danger of shock.

Figure C
Shows a 3 dimensional view of Figure B. This figure shows how the emitters’ electrical field polarization is in a different direction (vertical) than the induced electric field in the curved conductive core (toroidal).

Figures D & E
This is an illustration of a transducer using the example of Figure B and Figure C with a high voltage Tesla wound coil in the center of the conductive pole curve (a secondary coil). A primary coil not only winds around the high voltage secondary coil in this picture it winds around the conductive core as well. This would only be done if the conductor is a ferrous material. Then, part of the primary coil would not be directly magnetically inductively coupled to the secondary -- serves two purposes. One magnetic field generating element of the primary coil has no magnetic effect on the secondary. Only the primary's couple of turns around the secondary excites the secondary.

Figures D illustrates a quarter AC cycle with the high voltage coil’s expanding magnetic field with the direction of the field’s induced current flow potential in the curved conductor – eddy current potential direction.
This flow direction is in opposition to the electrically induced direction created by the high voltage emitters.

Figure E is the same as Figure D but showing the high voltage coil’s collapsing magnetic field with its accompanying eddy current flow potential. This figure shows how the eddy current flow potential would compliment the induced charge accumulation as the optional power supply does in Figures B (3). This would affect total capacitance as the capacitor is becoming fully charged.

Figures F is an example of a circuit schematic for Figures D & E.

Figure G
A comparison of the various components’ current phase relationships involved
with Figures D & Figures E condition.

Figure H
An electric motor using magnetic and electric fields comprised of four of these transducer elements.

Electric field induction is like magnetic field induction. When you place a north pole of a magnet next to a piece of iron, the field of that magnet induces an opposite field in the iron. The north pole in that magnet induces a south pole in the iron. And consequently, they attract each other. Electric fields also do this to a conductor. Regarding the top of Figure A, an electrically neutral conductor is placed near a strong electric field. That electric field will induce its opposite charge in the conductor. The result would be that from outside appearances that electrically neutral conductor has been electrically polarized just as the iron becomes magnetically polarized.

If you curve the conductor (like a horseshoe magnet), the electrically neutral conductor would exhibit properties like a magnet only with electric fields. The lower part of Figure A illustrates this with a conductive target between the poles. The figure also shows the induced electric fields that these poles would create in that target.
As in Figure A, if you grabbed the midpoint of either conductor there would be no danger of electric shock.

Figure B shows the electrically neutral conductor core being polarized from the inside instead of from the outside as the top of Figure A.
If opposite charges of the same circuit are buried in the opposite ends of that electrically neutral conductor, then that conductor would appear (from the outside) as being electrically polarized, although it is electrically neutral -- a closed system.

Figure B and C shows this buried high voltage charge being placed in the electrically neutral conductor by a series of parallel emitters, each emitter is a conductor laminated between two high voltage dielectric insulators. These insulators would allow electric field passage without any electron flow. Each emitter ‘plate’ is separated by parallel ‘plate’ of electrically neutral conductor material. The emitter’s opposite induced charge would appear in this electrically neutral conductor ‘plate’.

Normally, when an electrically charge is buried inside a conductor, the conductor’s opposite induced field cancels the original electric field. This arrangement is slightly different.
Figure C shows, due the spatial arrangement of the components, the induced electric field will toroidlly polarize the electrically neutral conductor. While the buried emitters’ electric field polarization would be in a different direction. Because these electric fields are polarized in directions right angle to each other, they tend to not cancel each other out.

If the emitters in Figures B and C are charged with 100,000 to a million volts (like from a Van de Graaf generator) and be dielectrically insulated from the electrically neutral conductor. This should induce a fairly strong electric field in the electrically neutral conductor, creating an electric ‘magnet’. One that would tend not to arc to the outside because the charges within the ‘poles’ tend to lock the induced charges on the ‘poles’.
In addition, if a complimentary charge is placed around these emitters as in Figure B (3), it would increase the amount of charge that accumulates in the emitters and consequently on these electric ‘poles’. This would not have to be much; a couple of volts (like from a dry cell battery) would augment the ‘poles’ charge accumulation.

That is a DC condition. Now, let us ‘kick it up a notch’ and look at an AC condition. Figures A, B, and C illustrate a static DC condition. To reach a DC high voltage condition can be somewhat cumbersome. With AC however, it is very easy using coils. Tesla coils can go to millions of volts. The spark coil in a car produces around 60,000 volts. Figures D, E, and F show a Tesla wound coil placed inside of the electrically neutral conductor of Figures B and C.
This coil would produce the high voltage necessary for the emitters. The primary coil makes maybe one or two turns around the tesla coil to excite it. In addition it is shown wound around the electrically neutral conductive core. Again, this would be done only if the electrically neutral conductor was of ferrous material (magnetic).

Doing this would give the transducer magnetic ‘poles’ as well as electric ‘poles’. Because electric fields are ever so much stronger than magnetic fields, these electrically neutral conductor primary windings may be of a secondary importance. However, they would have an influence in increasing the inductance of the circuit. (This may be important for a tuned circuit for the increased inductance would keep the resonance frequency down -- see Unknowns.) And, regarding Figure H, the increase in current demand of a slowing armature would reflect back into the primary and consequently the high voltage generation circuit creating a higher voltage.

What Figures D, E, and F are trying to illustrate is a coil-capacitor combination involving a primary and secondary coil with the secondary coil providing a high voltage that is supplied to the emitters (the capacitor) as in Figure F.

As shown in Figure G, the electric field of the transducer’s ‘poles’ would be out of phase with the magnetic field of the ‘poles’. The electric field would be strongest when the magnetic field would be weakest, and vice versa.

As the emitters are changing in electrical polarity and strength, there will be electron travel between the ‘poles’. Because of the spatial arrangement of the electrically neutral conductive core and the tesla coil this electron migration is magnetically coupled to the tesla coil.

As shown in Figures D, E, and G, for each half wavelength there will be a time that the expanding magnetic field of the tesla coil wound act against this electron migration. While the contracting magnetic field of the tesla coil would act with the electron migration.
Thus producing an AC condition of Figure B (2 and 3) for a quarter wavelength and augmenting the charge capability of the ‘poles’.

The entire transducer assembly (except for the pole surfaces) should probably be embedded in a high voltage non-dielectric insulation material.

In Figure H, four transducer elements are arrayed like an electric motor. The motor would act as an induction motor with electric fields being induced on the armature as well as the normal magnetic field of an induction motor. For this motor to have significant power the eddy currents or migrating charge would probably be expressed in the milliampere range.

Again, a magnetic induction motor's RPM is due to the frequency of the energizing current. In addition, when a magnetic induction motor armature slows down it creates a greater current draw in the stator coil. This increase in primary current would create an increase in the secondary's high voltage output.

Unknowns,
There are so many unknowns involved with this device (including my personal ignorance) that construction of experimental prototypes may be essential.
The electric and magnetic fields in the AC device are so interconnected that how the individual components react as a whole unit may be difficult to predict. Some the areas of ambiguity are:

Included with this page is a copy of the aborted patent application for this device. I screwed up on getting the claims right and this is a copy of the last try http://www.i-am-a-i.org/free-energy/transducer.PDF

If this device works, it should have been constructed 80 years ago. (And, perhaps it was.) We had the technology.
