System Architecture: Resonant Magnetic Energy Harvester
This page outlines the functional blocks of the prototype, with reasoning for each component. It integrates theoretical elements (e.g. MEG principles, zero-point energy) with practical electronics.
βοΈ Schematic Breakdown and Key Components
π§© 1. Tuned Coil System (7.83 Hz Resonator)
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Primary Coil | 1000β3000 turns of magnet wire (AWG 26β30), air or PVC |
| Capacitor | ~470β1000 Β΅F electrolytic or film |
| Tuning Frequency | f = 1 / (2Οβ(LC)) β target β 7.83 Hz |
β‘οΈ Instruction: Wind carefully and form a parallel LC tank circuit. Use function generator or oscilloscope to verify resonance.
π§² 2. Magnetic Core Assembly
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Toroidal Core | Ferrite core, type 77 or 78 |
| Secondary Coil | ~500 turns, bifilar optional |
| Winding Style | Bifilar or caduceus winding may assist symmetry |
β‘οΈ Instruction: Acts as magnetic "trap." The goal is asymmetric flux interaction for ambient energy capture.
β‘ 3. Trigger Field / Pulse Driver
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| 555 Timer | Configured astable at 7.83 Hz |
| MOSFET (e.g. IRF540) | Switches magnetic field |
| Power Supply | 9Vβ12V DC temporary input |
β‘οΈ Note: Power is introduced not to drive the load, but to initiate magnetic resonance β theoretically, once resonance self-reinforces, the input could be removed (see feedback loop below).
π 4. Harmonic Feedback Loop (Experimental)
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Op-Amp Buffer | LM358 or similar |
| Phase Delay | RC circuit or digital |
| Feedback Tap | Signal taken from secondary coil |
β‘οΈ Instruction: Attempts to create self-sustaining loop by feeding resonant signal back into the 555 timer or pulse gate.
π 5. Energy Extraction + Load
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Rectifier Diode | 1N4007 or Schottky |
| Smoothing Capacitor | 1000 Β΅F or more |
| Voltage Regulator | LM7805 (optional for clean output) |
| Load | LED, low-voltage motor, meter |
β‘οΈ Instruction: Convert AC from the secondary to DC. The load demonstrates possible captured energy.
π§© Why Introduce Power?
We are not building a perpetual motion device β rather:
- The input field (from the pulse driver) is intended as a catalyst to initiate resonance and possible energy capture.
- Once ambient coupling is achieved (theoretical stage), the feedback loop may eliminate the need for input energy.
β οΈ This remains unverified β the pulse circuit is an interim measure.
β Key Unknowns and Experimental Questions
| Unknown | Description |
|---|---|
| Can resonance at 7.83 Hz be sustained passively? | If not, what harmonics or environmental cues interfere? |
| Is energy extraction measurable above noise level? | Whatβs the baseline load without feedback loop? |
| Does bifilar winding truly aid zero-point flux asymmetry? | Does it change EM signature or efficiency? |
| Does the toroid "trap" magnetic energy meaningfully? | Are there measurable delays or decay curves on output? |
