U.K. PATENT APPLICATION NO. 2,292,830

‘THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION’

Abstract: An apparatus for generating electricity comprises a laminated stack of ferromagnetic metal 11. The stack is part of a transformer core and an a.c. circulating current is set up in the stack by eddy current induction. A heat gradient is established in the stack by means of heat sinks 14,15. The Nernst effect converts the heat input to an output EMF which is delivered through a secondary winding. laminated rotor sections 19 axially spaced along a supporting spindle 1.

‘Discovery of Virtual Inertia’

I report an anomalous energy phenomenon found in my motor experiments.

Imagine an electric machine having no electrical input itself and which, when started on no load by a drive motor and brought up to speed (3250 rpm), thereafter runs steadily at that speed with the motor drawing a little extra input power with a time delay rate of about two minutes. The machine rotor has a mass of 800 gm and at that speed its kinetic energy together with that of the drive motor is no more than 15 joules, contrasting with the excess energy of 300 joules needed to satisfy the anomalous power surge [to spin up from rest].

Imagine further that when the motor, after running five minutes or more, is switched off and the machine is stopped, you can restart it in the same or opposite direction and find that it now has a memory in the sense that it will not now ask for that 300 joules of excess input. 30 joules will suffice provided that the time lapse between starting and restarting is no more than a minute or so.

This is not a transient heating phenomenon. At all times the bearing housings feel cool and any heating in the drive motor would imply an increase of resistance and a build-up of power to a higher steady state condition.

The experimental evidence is that there is something spinning of an ethereal nature coextensive with the machine rotor. That ‘something’ has an effective mass density 20 times that of the rotor, but it is something that can spin independently and take several minutes to decay, whereas the motor comes to rest in a few seconds.

Two machines of different rotor size and composition reveal the phenomenon and tests indicate variations with time of day and compass orientation of the spin axis. One machine, the one incorporating weaker magnets, showed evidence of gaining strength magnetically, as the test were repeated over several days.

I will soon be reporting in detail on these findings, after further work and evaluation of the implications. The phenomenon was something I should have been prepared for, having regard to my years of theorizing, but this discovery was unexpected as it has crept in loud and clear in a project aimed at testing a motor principle totally unrelated to ‘vacuum spin’. It has appeared obtrusively and I do not yet know whether, in adapting to its presence, it can serve in improving machine performance or become detrimental.

Readers who are curious about my more general research endeavors may find interest in the specification of U.S. Patent No. 5,376,184 granted to me on December 27th 1994. In connection with the subject of this particular communication I quote from lines 3 to 28 of column 21 of that patent:

“Now, in a practical device, one can similarly set up electric fields in a metal rotor by displacing those charge carriers, either by inertial action or the action of a magnetic field directed along the spin axis. However, even here physicists have problems understanding the phenomena they observe, as one may see from the scientific paper by James F. Woodward: Electrogravitational Induction and Rotation, Foundations of Physics, 12, pp. 467-478 (1982). On page 472 one reads, after a statement that machine operation produced induced charge in evidence from a voltage:

Plainly, an effect of some sort is present. Since a negative charge appears during spindown, we may infer either that (1) an initially present positive charge disappears during spindown, or (2) some process drives the sample case to negative potentials during spin-down. The genuine disappearance of charge from the sample/sample-case assembly would be, of course, prima facia evidence for the existence of electrogravitational reduction.

What this means is that electric charge can be held displaced within a metal to set up electric field gradients in that metal. Woodward did this by inertial spin action, possibly affected by the earth’s field, but a similar result can be obtained by building a series-connected capacitor stack.”

‘Retardation in the Coulomb Potential’

Abstract: The spatial disposition of field energy owing to mutual interaction of two particles is usually considered in retarded force interaction theories. Stimulated by a comment from Allen [Physics Essays, v. 6, p. 614 (1993)], the author briefly summarizes his own prior published analysis of the electrostatic, electromagnetic, and gravitational field energy distributions and their bearing on action-at-a-distance theories.

1995d

The following is a U.K. Patent granted to Harold Aspden on May 8, 1996 with a first publication date of December 6, 1995.

U.K. PATENT NO. 2,289,994

‘MAGNETIC RELUCTANCE MOTOR’

Abstract: A magnetic reluctance motor has a salient pole rotor 3 interacting with stator poles 1, 2 to form a machine operating on the magnetic reluctance principle. The machine incorporates a shaded-pole feature by introducing an angle of inclination between laminar structures forming the rotor and stator cores. This performs eddy-current screening restricting magnetic flux transit between poles as they separate. It allows the magnetic attraction between poles during the approach phase to drive the motor.

This patent is based on the same disclosure as that of U.K. Patent No. 2,287,134. The tilted stator poles provide the shaded-pole feature, whereas the other patent concerns the feature of the single solenoidal winding 5 which is powered to drive the machine.

U.K. PATENT NO. 2,282,708

‘ELECTRICAL MOTOR-GENERATOR’

Abstract: An electrodynamic motor-generator has a salient pole permanent magnet rotor interacting with salient stator poles to form a machine operating on the magnetic reluctance principle. The intrinsic ferromagnetic power of the magnets provides the drive torque by bringing the poles into register whilst current pulses demagnetize the stator poles as the poles separate. Inasmuch as less power is needed for stator demagnetization than is fed into the reluctance drive by the thermodynamic system powering the ferromagnetic state, the machine operates regeneratively by virtue of stator winding interconnection with unequal number of rotor and stator poles. A rotor construction is disclosed in (Fig. 6, 7). The current pulse may be such as to cause repulsion of the rotor poles.

U.K. PATENT NO. 2,283,361

‘REFRIGERATION AND ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION’

Abstract: The thermoelectric device disclosed in U.K. Patent 2,227,881 is developed by this invention to accentuate the Nernst Effect contribution. By using thin ferromagnetic metal laminations 1 of thickness commensurate with or smaller than the normal magnetic domain size (100 micron) and feeding current transversely through the laminations with heat flow in the laminar planes, the current, regardless of polarity, selects a passage through the lamination which traverses a magnetic domain polarization having a direction in which the Nernst EMF assists the current. This results in a conversion of heat into electricity. A superconducting polymer, oxidized polypropylene, may be used as a heat resistant filler between the laminations to provide the continuity for transverse current flow. Heat sinks 2 are insulated by coatings 3 and connections are made by conductors 4.

U.K. PATENT NO. 2,287,134

‘MAGNETIC RELUCTANCE MOTORS’

Abstract: A magnetic reluctance motor has a salient pole rotor interacting with stator poles to form, a machine operating on the magnetic reluctance principle. The machine incorporates a shaded-pole feature on the stator pole edges which performs eddy-current screening restricting magnetic flux transit between poles as they operate. This allows the magnetic attraction between the poles during the approach phase to drive the motor. A d.c. powered solenoid axially positioned intermediate two sets of rotor poles provides the magnetic polarization of the rotor core body to set up pole flux. The motor may include a permanent magnet fitted as a sleeve on the central part of the rotor core and the d.c. excitation of the solenoid then acts on the inner shaft section to magnetize it in the same direction as the permanent magnet and thereby augment the drive action whilst blocking flux closure from the magnet through the shaft.

This patent is based on the same patent application as that of granted U.K. Patent No. 2,289,994 (Ref. [1995d] in these Web pages). The difference is that this patent covers the feature of the coaxially-mounted solenoidal winding 5 which powers the machine, whereas the tilted pole feature providing the shaded-pole action is the subject of the invention of Patent No. 2,289,994.

1994e

The following is a Conference paper by H. Aspden published in the Proceedings of the International Symposium on New Energy held in Denver, Colorado on May 12-15, 1994, pp. 1-20.

‘MAGNETISM AND THE ENERGY OF CREATION: THE $64 QUESTION: WHAT IS THE ENERGY SOURCE’

Abstract: By following the theme that ‘energy is money’, the way in which energy transfers in magnets and solenoids is discussed by analogy with a world banking system. There are creative forces in Nature by which energy is shed from a vast reserve to set up the present state of equilibrium between matter and aether. This paper discusses how that equilibrium can be disturbed to give us access to ‘free energy’. It reveals the design secret of the Adams motor and it goes beyond such technology to explain where science went wrong in interpreting important physical phenomena incorrectly. We see why this has meant that the technology of ‘Creation’ has eluded us until now and impeded those who seek better ways to bring new power into industry. It is simply a question of understanding that universal banking system, meaning the energy bank that pervades all space.

The delivery of this paper at the Denver International Symposium on New Energy in 1994 marked the author’s introduction of a series of ten Energy Science Reports which the author published between 1994 and 1997, copies of which are to be made available for access via these web pages. This Symposium paper is therefore seen by the author as being an important contribution to the subject.

1994d

This is one of a series of 10 Energy Science Reports made available by the author through U.K. company Energy Science Limited, under the publishing name Sabberton Publications.

ENERGY SCIENCE REPORT No. 5. POWER FROM WATER: COLD FUSION: PART I

This Report was first published by the author in 1994 and was reissued later and made more generally available from Sabberton Publications as ISBN 0 085056 0217 in October 1996. It is now made available freely via this Internet facility. It concerns theory pertaining to the creation and properties of deuterons which, as present in atoms in heavy water, deuterium oxide, are involved in the experiments which gave birth to the notion of ‘cold fusion’. The technology of that field is slow to develop and, though the author did plan to write a Part II Report as a sequel to this report, which is entitled POWER FROM WATER: COLD FUSION: PART I, this has not materialized. This Report nevertheless is an important contribution to the theory of the subject, also because it explains how the triton, the third isotope of hydrogen is created. It is worthy of study as an adjunct to the author’s latest work, the book: The Physics of Creation, because the latter explains in updated detail how the proton itself, the primary isotope of hydrogen is created. For this reason it is given priority in updating this website by now adding progressively each of these ten Energy Science Reports as they are withdrawn from normal printed publication. It should be noted that the book just referenced is a substantial work and should not be confused with Appendix A of this Report, which has the same title. The latter featured as a 12 page Chapter 4 in the author’s book GRAVITATION, published in 1975, which gives an early insight into what has now become a 28 year-old account of the origin of proton creation. ……….

The following is a U.K. Patent granted to Harold Aspden on March 26th 1997 with a publication date of May 3 1994.

U.K. PATENT NO. 2,278,491

‘THERMOELECTRIC HEAT TRANSFER APPARATUS’

Abstract: In order to research the generation of heat by promoting the fusion of protons or deuterons adsorbed by a host metal, the apparatus provides a structural configuration by which the direction of heat flow through the metal is transverse to the direction of an applied magnetic field. Thermal priming means, which may include pre-cooling on the heat output side or electrical heating of the host metal, provide the initial temperature gradient triggering fusion. Alternating current activation of the magnetic field, the intensity of which may be enhanced by using nickel as the host metal, combined with a non-uniformuity of the magnetic field and/or heat flow through the metal, assure the abnormal presence of a residual negative electron poulation in the metal. Such charge nucleates the merger of positive charge and enhances the fusion process.
