Introduction
We
have experimentally studied the physical effects in a system
based on rotating permanent magnets (1). Below we describe
the technology of manufacture, assembly, and the results
of testing this experimental setup, which is referred to
as the converter.
Technological Description
The
converter comprises an immobile stator and a rotor moving
around the stator and carrying fixed magnetic rollers. The
magnetic system of the working body of the converter has
a diameter of about 1 meter. The stator and magnetic rollers
were manufactured from separate magnetized segments made
of rare-earth magnets (REMs) with a residual magnetization
of 0.85 T, a coercive force of [Hc] ~ 600 kA/m, and a specific
magnetic energy of [W] ~ 150 K/m3. The segments were magnetized
by a conventional method based on a discharge of a capacitor
bank through an inductor coil. Then the magnetized segments
were assembled and glued together in a special mounting
stage, which provided for the necessary tolerance in positioning
the segments and for the removal of magnetic energy. Using
this mounting stage, it was possible to glue the elements
into the common unit. The stable incorporated REMs with
a total weight of 110 kg and the rollers contained 115 kg
of the same REM material.
The
magnetic system elements were assembled into a single structure
on a special platform made of non-magnetic structural alloys.
The platform construction was provided with springs and
shock absorbers and allowed the converter setup to move
in the vertical direction on three sides. The motion was
monitored by an inductive transducer. Which allowed changes
ion the platform weight to be determined in the course of
the experiment. The total weight of the platform with the
magnetic system in the initial state was 350 kg.
Description of Observed Effects
The
converter was installed in a 2.5-meter high laboratory room
using three concrete supports on a ground level. In addition
to the ordinary steel-reinforced concrete ceiling blocks,
the converter equipment featured a usual electrodynamic
generator and an electric motor, with a total iron weight
of several tens of kilograms (only these parts could, in
principle, introduce distortions into the electromagnetic
field pattern observed).
The system weight variation depend both on the power consumed
by the active load (the load consisted of 10 ordinary 1-kW
heating elements) and on the polarization voltage applied.
For a maximum consumed power (7 kW), a change in the total
platform weight reached 35% of the initial value in the
immobile state (350 kg), which corresponded to 50% of the
pure weight of the working body of the converter. An increase
in the load power above 7 kW led to a gradual decrease in
the rotor speed and, eventually, to the system going out
of the self-generation regime and the rotor speed decreasing
until the full stop. The platform weight could be controlled
by applying a high-voltage signal to the cellular ring electrodes
situated 10 mm above the external roller surface. Upon applying
a 20 kV signal (negative polarity on the electrodes), an
increase in the load power consumption above 6 kW did not
affect the Delta G value even when the rotor speed decreased
down to 400 rpm. This was equivalent to "prolongation"
of the effect and was accompanied by phenomena of the remnant
induction" type with respect to Delta G. The converter
operation in various experimental regimes is illustrated
in the figure.
Anomalous Effects
Besides
the phenomena described above, a number of other interesting
effects were observed in the system studied. In particular,
the converter operation in the dark is accompanied by a
corona discharge with a pink-blue light emission and by
the production of ozone. The ionization cloud is formed
around the stator and rotor, acquiring a toroidal shape.
The general corona discharge background is superimposed
with a wavy pattern corresponding to the surface of the
rollers: the zones of increased emission intensity are distributed
along the roller height in a manner similar to that observed
for the high-voltage microwave induction energy storage
in the pre-breakdown state. These zones appeared yellowish-white,
but the emission was not accompanied by sounds characteristic
of the arc discharge. Nor did we observe any visible erosive
damage on the stator and rotor surfaces.
One
more effect, which was never reported previously, is the
appearance of vertical "magnetic walls" surrounding
the setup. We have detected and measured an anomalous constant
magnetic field around the converter. The measurements revealed
zones of increased magnetic strength on the order of 0.05
T arranged coaxially relative to the system center. The
direction of the magnetic field vector on the "walls"
coincides with that in the rollers. The structure of these
magnetic zones resembles the pattern of circular waves on
the water surface. No anomalous field is detected by a mobile
magnetometer, employing the Hall effect transducer, in the
area between zones. The layers of increased magnetic field
strength are propagating with virtually no attenuation to
a distance of 15 meters from the converter center and then
rapidly decayed at the boundary of this 15-meter area. Each
layer zone is 5-8 cm thick and exhibits sharp boundaries.
The layers are spaced by 50-60 cm, the spacing slightly
increasing with the distance from the converter center.
A stable pattern was also observed at a height of 5 meters
above the setup (the measurements were conducted in a 2nd
floor room above the laboratory; no tests were conducted
on a still higher level).
Another
interesting phenomenon consists in an anomalous temperature
drop in the immediate vicinity of the converter. At a general
room temperature level in the laboratory (+22 +-2 C), the
temperature at the converter surface was 6-8 C lower. Similar
temperature variations were detected in the vertical magnetic
"walls". The temperature changes in the walls
were detected by an ordinary alcohol thermometer with a
reading set time of 1.5 minutes. The temperature variations
in the magnetic "walls" can even be sensed by
the human body: a hand placed inside the "wall"
immediately feels cold. The same pattern was observed at
a height of 5 meters above the setup in a 2nd floor room
above the laboratory (despite the steel-reinforced concrete
blocks separating the rooms).
Discussion of Results
All
the experimental results described above are very unusual
and need some theoretical rationalization. Unfortunately,
attempts at interpreting the obtained results within the
framework of the existing physical theories showed that
no one of these models can explain the whole set of experimental
data.
Recently,
Dyatlov (2) attempted to combine the concepts of electricity
and gravity by introducing the so-called electronavigation
and magnetic-spin coefficients into the Heaviside gravity
equations and the Maxwell field equations. This provides
for a relationship between the gravitational and electrical
components, as well as between the magnetic and rotational
components in a given medium. The assumptions are built
around a special model of inhomogenous physical vacuum,
called the vacuum domain model (2). It is suggested that
the extra relationships are absent outside the vacuum domain.
Although it is difficult to imagine a long-living vacuum
domain, the proposed model provides for a satisfactory explanation
(at least on a qualitative phenomenological level) for the
appearance of emission, the system weight variations, and
the conversion of energy taken from the surrounding medium
into the rotational mechanical moment of the rollers. Unfortunately,
the theory cannot provide a physical pattern of the observed
phenomena.
At
present, the work on a developed variant of the converter
are in progress at the Glushko "NPE Energomash"
company (Moscow). This setup would allow a deeper insight
into the physics of observed phenomena. Another aim is the
creation of commercial samples for various practical applications.
