Bcook Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 I would like to say something about this circuit. I understand when I talk about this it seems to offend some people, and that is just the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. This circuit is not unusual but it is also not usual, because it came to be in the very early 1900s. The transformer style component within the circuit would have been called a magnetic amplifier. The secondary winding of the magnetic amplifier was supplied with an external current to be used to alter the magnetic fields within the iron core to limit current on the primary line. I discovered that I can create the same scenario of controlling the magnetic fields within the iron core without adding a secondary current, achieving the same desired effect but with an added benefit. That is simply what I am trying to point out, the process can be achieved with an alternate method that can ultimately increase efficiency if used correctly. I’m sorry if I have created any confusion. It’s difficult to try to explain something when there are people who really don’t want to hear it.

I agree entirely with the underlined statement so you can well imagine my frustration having a one sided discussion with you. I also agree that the above post is the first time what you have said is mostly in accord with engineering electrical theory. Pity you were not listening when I told you exactly this back on page 1 and so did not ask to take this further.

obbeel Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hello Bcook. I'm not a Physics expert as others in this forum, but I have, by now, read over 10 books from scientists past (Robert Hooke, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Avicenna) and I can ratify that, even if the old books are good to bring new ideas, they don't have any secret science hidden behind them. You won't find the new thing by scrutinizing old knowledge or books. You won't find a magical answer by searching something about Nikola Tesla, for example. These are my 2 cents for you, as I have struggled in the past discerning good knowledge from bad knowledge. There are no easy answers in the past or a plot to keep knowledge from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no easy answers in the past or a plot to keep knowledge from you. Outside of formal education studying the textbooks is the best way to separate science from pseudoscience (flimflams etc) If an article doesn't conform to textbook book methods or answers then it's questionable. Another good resource is dissertation papers. These papers will help advance your skills and knowledge beyond the textbooks which typically teach the basics.
