    A TWO FLUXMETER METHOD OF MEASURING FERROMAGNETIC HYSTERESIS LOSS

    Abstract: Ferromagnetic hysteresis loss is usually measured by the method of reversals or the step-by-step method, both of which involve the use of a ballistic galvanometer or a fluxmeter. The necessity for recording observations and measuring the area of the hysteresis loop can be eliminated by using a second fluxmeter to integrate successive electrical discharges, which are initiated by a chosen change in flux density and are proportional in magnitude to the magnetizing field. The total deflexion of this second fluxmter over one complete cycle of magnetization is a direct measure of the hysteresis loss. By this means it is possible, without sacrificing accuracy, to reduce the time of measurement to a small fraction of that usually required by conventional methods.

    Commentary: This paper was written during a period when the author was working for a Ph.D. degree which involved experimental research on the eddy-current anomaly. See the related paper: [1956a]. However, this method was not used in the eventual experiments which were the basis of that Ph.D.

    EDDY-CURRENTS IN SOLID CYLINDRICAL CORES HAVING NON-UNIFORM PERMEABILITY

    Abstract: A method of estimating magnetization losses in solid cylindrical cores of ferromagnetic material is given. The conception of complex permeability is introduced to show the effects which hysteresis has upon the degree of flux penetration. A formula is given for the effective permeability which should be used in the classical treatment in which non-linearities have been ignored. An arbitrary case in which the permeability changes across the core section is considered and the solution is extended to a core which is homogeneous, but whose permeability changes with the degree of magnetization. In this way errors due to a non-linear B-H curve are reduced and the complex permeability notation is shown to lead to a more reasonable Steinmetz relationship. The eddy-current anomaly is mentioned and it is noted that the theory developed is suited to a consideration of the anomaly as explained in terms of time-lag effects.

    Commentary: This paper was written during a period when the author was working for a Ph.D. degree which involved experimental research on the eddy-current anomaly. See the related paper: [1956a]. However, the detailed analysis based on complex magnetic permeability as covered by the mathematics in this paper in relation to a non-linear B-H magnetization curve was not included nor involved in the research thesis which was submitted in support of that Ph.D. degree.

    A FERROMAGNETIC HYSTERESIS POTENTIOMETER

    Abstract: The potentiometer embodies the principle of the normal fluxmeter method of measuring hysteresis loss but, while retaining the accuracy, enables the measurement to be made in a fraction of a minute. The potentiometer incorporates a number of tappings which are connected to individual contact studs so that by rotating a contact arm the current applied to a magnetizing circuit can be varied in a cyclical manner between two limiting values. There are intermediate positions of the arm which correspond to intermediate values of current and these values differ by fixed amounts from one cycle to the next. The contact arm also forms part of a stud switch so that a search coil can be disconnected from a fluxmeter over the part in each cycle over which the current changes between the intermediate and one of the limiting values. In this way a complete rotation of the arm is made to take a specimen through twelve cycles of magnetization and since the intermediate current values are evenly distributed over the complete cycle the fluxmeter registers a deflection which can be related to the hysteresis loss.

    Commentary: This paper was written during a period when the author was working for a Ph.D. degree which involved experimental research on the eddy-current anomaly. See the related paper: [1956a]. However, this potentiometer was not used in the eventual experiments which were the basis of that Ph.D.

    OUR FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE – THE VACUUM!

    Abstract: In the quest to discover a new energy source that can replace existing technology and avoid further pollution of our planet, one can but be frustrated by the knowledge that the secrets of past achievement in this field have remained outside our reach. The reason for this is the probability that the inventors themselves have not fully understood the physical processes they were harnessing in their experiments, namely how that energy was actually drawn from a hidden source in our immediate environment. Accordingly, they shrouded their work by a cloak of secrecy and, being distrustful when faced with hostile scientific opinion, have not left on record the details necessary to replicate their findings. By examining from sparse information certain features common to the apparatus used by those who have had success, and particularly the efforts of Dr. Henry Moray in the 1920s, and analysing this in the context of this author�s research investigation of the role aether plays in determining the fundamental constants of physics, this mystery can now be solved. The evidence points clearly to the future prospect of electrical power generation based on a rather simple but specific form of capacitor system, which would have a low weight to power ratio, operating at frequencies of the order of 100 kHz and voltages of the order of 25 kV. Based on these findings the task ahead is to alert the energy research community to what can be possible as, surely, it is inconceivable that those pioneers of historical record were deceiving themselves and those who witnessed their demonstrations.

    The following is a paper by H. Aspden published as a Letter to the Editor by the U.K. Institute of Physics in Physics
    Education, vol. 34, No. 5, p. 263 (1999).

    THE IMAGINARY SUN?

    Commentary: This paper challenges the assertion by the physics community that the temperature within the Sun can be as
    high as 100,000,000 degrees, whereas we know the Sun has a surface temperature close to 6,000 degrees. Physicists imagine
    the Sun is powered by nuclear fusion, but its energy is really sourced in the activity of the quantum underworld of space at the
    solar surface as now explained in detail in my 2006 book Creation: The Physical Truth. I have written that book because
    physicists expert in nuclear fusion have chosen to ignore the simple educational message that this 1999 paper conveys. Below I
    quote three paragraphs from that paper.

    “… a serious student might wonder why the interior of the Sun needs to be hotter than the temperature of 6,000 K or so that is
    implied by its surface radiation. Given that the Sun is mainly composed of hydrogen gas in a highly ionised state and that we
    know its mean mass density is around 1,400 kg per cubic metre, such a student might reason that the hydrogen atoms are
    simply squeezed so tightly together that the electron K-shells overlap slightly. Electron collision (powered by whatever
    energizes the quantum underworld of space) implies ionization, a state in which electrons and protons become freely moving.
    Given then the fact that two protons have a mutual rate of acceleration due to gravity that is 1836 times greater than that for the
    electron-electron interaction, surely one must expect the proton population to be displaced radially inwards relative to the
    electron population. That implies electrostatic repulsion exactly in balance with gravitational attraction over the vast region of
    the solar interior, holding the mass density uniform.”

    “An astute student might then point out that if spheres of K-shell radius 5.29×10-11 m are closely packed at random into an
    enveloping spherical form and each of those spheres has a mass equal to that of the hydrogen atom, one expects the mass
    density to be around 1,700 kg per cubic metre, and that might explain why the Sun has the slightly smaller overall mass density
    of 1,400 kg per cubic metre.”

    [Here I just note that when I came to write Creation: The Physical Truth I had decided that the hydrogen atoms in the Sun
    must adopt a cubic lattice structure with each atom sitting in a cube of side dimension twice the K-shell Bohr radius. This
    gives the 1,400 kg per cubic metre figure. See page 39 of Creation: The Physical Truth.]

    “That same student could hardly miss the obvious implication that the Sun has a distributed positive charge in its interior
    surrounded by a neutralizing surface shell of negative charge and, the latter having a greater contribution to magnetic moment,
    so the Sun in rotating should have a magnetic moment related to G, the constant of gravitation.”

    THE CONTEMPORARY AETHER

    Abstract: Although 20th century scientific philosophy has sought to banish
    the aether and outlaw it from our modern civilisation, that effort has
    failed. The great contributions of philosophers of earlier centuries,
    giving us recognition of the aether, and notably by Rene Descartes,
    live on, nothwithstanding acceptance of the four-space notions of the
    theory of relativity. The aether remains the essential fabric of
    space, the canvas on which Nature has painted the glorious picture of
    the world and the universe we see around us. This paper will simply
    point to one scientific phenomenon which reveals a direct
    manifestation of the aether and shows us how to tap into its power.
    This paper also provides a bibliographic listing of this author’s 20th
    century discoveries concerning the aether, this being research which
    has been published in spite of the opposition by those who prefer to
    accept the virtual reality images which stem from Einstein’s
    doctrines. The key property of the real aether is its universal
    rhythm, its universal time keeping, as enforced by a phase-lock
    between its quantum properties. This property is manifested by aether
    in rotation because the phase-lock involves one-way energy transfer
    from aether to matter in company with an electric charge induction by
    rotation, neither of which feature in Einstein’s vision of the
    properties of space.

    US PATENT NO 5,734,122

    ‘THERMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERSION APPARATUS’

    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed in which a pair of elongated solid cylindrical metal conductors mounted with their central axes mutually parallel are connected at their ends to form a closed electrical circuit path, there being heat sinks at spaced positions along their length which serve as heat transfer means setting up a temperature gradient along the lengths of the conductors. A strong electrical current flow in the conductors creates a circumferential magnetic field in the metal directed at right angles to the heat flow and this, by the Nernst Effect, produces a radial electric field gradient in the metal coupled with the transient accumulation of stored electrical energy. The apparatus disclosed serves for the experimental testing of energy conversion and storage by thermoelectric processes occurring in the metal and the ultimate utilization of the technology involved.

    CYCLOTRON RESONANCE IN HUMAN BODY CELLS

    ISBN 0 85056 011 X

    This is a 57 page report in which the author discusses a mysterious aspect of Energy Science concerned with the anomalous effects which electromagnetic fields can have upon our body cells. The main theme is the health hazard posed by using electric blankets and living too close to overhead electrical power lines. An explanation is given for the curious fact that cyclotron-like resonance, which transfers energy from weak pulsating fields into the ion-populated fluids in the human body, in countries powered at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. How can the body chemistry support a resonance phenomenon at either of these frequencies? You have the answer in this Report. The human body introduces something new to electrical science, a system in which electricity is conveyed by molecular ions rather than electrons. Energy anomalies arise when currents flow through liquids and also in cold cathode discharges through rarefied gas. This has bearing upon the subject of Report No. 8. However, as Report No. 10 shows, research on our body chemistry reveals a superconductive condition and such research may help to solve some of the basic questions of fundamental physics having a bearing upon the nature of gravitation. This Report No. 10, the last in this series, was issued on March 31st 1997.
