INCORPORATED

Adelaide Branch

Welcome to the July edition of the newsletter. By the time you read this newsletter I will haveleft work after being with the same employer for 28 years. This means that I will now havemore time to pursue alternative energy ideas, but unfortunately will have somewhat lessresources to do it with. Part of this means that from now on we will have to pay for ourphotocopying for this newsletter, so if any of you out there has a "cheap" option please let meknow.

JUNE MEETING

The June 17th meeting began a bit late, well actually a lot late, due to much discussion takingplace by individual groups while things were getting organised. Apologies were received fromSimon and George with 22 people eventually attending.

Ashley opened the meeting by re-explaining the changes which have occurred due to theincorporation, and then reminded everyone that the first AGM will be held next month beforethe July monthly meeting. Ashley also had an article on the forthcoming comet collision with Jupiter and its possible effects. Tony indicated that he would have available, on computer disc,NASA pictures of the event which will be available on Internet. Kevin as acting Treasurer then

told us that we were in the black to the tune of $194 and reminded those who had not paid, of the special one off $2 payment to cover the incorporation costs. He then mentioned somethingabout nearly having enough money to buy a new motorbike. This was followed by myself, asSecretary, reading out correspondence and other information received during the month. Thisincluded the latest flyer from the Victorian group and titbits from Ian Hacon. I then mentionedthe photocopying problem and impressed on people to read their newsletters carefully as thereis a date change for the AGM / monthly meeting.

The meeting was then opened up for general comment with Caroline telling us about an openday at the Village Community at Kuitpo on June 26th. This community incorporates wind andsolar power, regenerating redgum forest, composting loos and a reedbed filtration system. Leonthen gave a quick explanation of the tests done last month on the motor, the next step being toreplace the troublesome gell cells with lead acid batteries. Michael brought along somephotocopies of an article on a new engine which only has nine components (more about thislater) and also mentioned an English Technology magazine that he has come across calledFocus. Dino brought up the subject of working with strong magnets and the effects of this on thehuman body and the field which surrounds it. Ian then talked about some experimenting thatwe did in Kuitpo forest measuring Schumann fields in pine and gum forests and explained someof the theory of how trees can change the bond angle of water, etc. Teslas LongitudinalElectricity was the subject of the video and was found to be interesting but a bit too technical forsome. The evening finished with "tea, coffee and bickies", lots of talk and some drum playing

with the last group leaving a bit after the 12 O'clock curfu time at about a quarter to one.

MELBOURNE ASTRO

The Melbourne ASTRO group had the Australian Nikola Tesla Society as their guests at their June meeting, members of which were giving a talk and a demonstration of a fully shieldedHigh voltage Tesla Coil. This sounds like it would have been a great night, so lets hope theirgroup can keep going after next months AGM. Also included with this information was an

article entitled "Anti-Gravity and the Monoliths" which I have inserted on the next page.

QUESTION TIME !!!!

I thought that it would be a good idea to present questions and answers which have come up atmeetings etc. so that others may comment on them. Three questions which arose at the Junemeeting are presented below with the answers given to the best of my memory.

Question: What is the difference between Schumann A and B fields?Answer: The "A" field is in the frequency range of 3 - 16Hz and is said to be Yin or passive, whilethe "B" field has a frequency range of 17 - 27Hz and is said to be Yang or active. Finally

there is also a "C" field which at a frequency range of 28 - 31Hz is said to be discordant.

Question: Does anyone know of a magnetic insulator?Answer: Suggestions were mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Question: How do you make a monopole magnet?Answer: Nobody knew any details but apparently a Japanese scientist has made them bylooping a copper strip around the magnet, like a coil, but twisting the copper 180 degrees as itpassed by the start point of the loop (eg. mobius) This was then surrounded by a conventionalcoil for the current to pass through.

If anybody has information regarding these questions or has other questions they would likeanswers to (no smartarse ones Ian or Dino) please let me know, in writing preferably, and I shallattempt to include them in future newsletters so that all may share the information.





JOHN SEARLE'S S. E. G. (GENERATOR)





(I would like to thank Cedric for the following article which he wrote after looking at the latestSearle videos and book.)

Having looked through the primer info. and got bleary eyed watching both videos, I have cometo the conclusion that if all the information is correct then this is truly a remarkable machineand is truly a prime mover in it's own right.

The key part in the project seems to be in the magnetic rollers themselves being a unipolar

cylinder having a spiral wave form, with a similar magnet running inside, and once assembledand put on an appropriate track starts to run forever unless a certain frequency is imposedupon it. Heady stuff this!

These magnets are not available from the shops and have to be made according to the Law of the Squares, of which a small portion is shown in the primer. This calculator is down to atomiclevels as a numerical representation of matter and energy. Oh yes I forgot to mention that thesemagnets also oscillate and or rotate and an actual demonstration is shown on the video. Howmany magnets have these properties? The ones shown on the tape were old ones that had beenexposed to the weather for 10 years or so, but still worked 100%.

Getting down to basics. The machine has sets of rollers running on 3 separate rings or plates asthey are called at up to a speed of 200 miles per second! There is a transistor action with base,emitter and collector action formed by the magnet compositions. AC is generated and collectedby coils on the outermost set of rollers. There are also reservoirs for storage in the rollers. Bynow you may be able to see that this is not a simple set-up but rather carefully worked out andquite complicated.

It is alleged that there has been the usual problems with the authorities who always seem tofind a way to stop production, this time by burning house, records, drawings and almost allphotos of machines. This makes it difficult to assess the machine without a working model but itdoes seem feasible IF information supplied can be trusted. .......................C.L.

HYDROGEN EXPERIMENTS





Information gathered from experiments being carried on around the country suggest that thefollowing methods are preferable to get the largest amounts of "dry" hydrogen to run an engine:

1. Use a header tank to collect the hydrogen and to allow the water vapour picked up in theproduction process to drop out of the gas mixture back into the originating tank. It has beenfound that otherwise too much water vapour is sucked into the engine and it does not run aswell.

2. Using thicker 316 stainless tube works a lot better in producing gas than a thin gauge tube.

3. Roughing up the surface of the tubes also gives greater gas production.

If other experimenters reading this have found similar results, or disagree with the aboveinformation please let me know as sharing results is one of the quickest ways to speed up theprocess of getting a fully operational model running.

SEARLE DISC GENERATOR TESTS

I have heard a rumour that a group interstate has a 50Kw machine running but have had

trouble controlling it. Has anyone else heard anything of this ????

RAND CAM ENGINE

Michael brought along anarticle about the Rand CamEngine to the last meeting,which came from the March94 edition of Car Craftmagazine. The interestingthings about this engine are

its simplicity, small size, andlightweight. The engine hasonly nine parts and seven of these actually move. The heartof the engine is the rotorwhich has six vanes on eachside of it so that as it rotates itforms twelve combustionchambers where it fits intothe two stators. Tests haveshown that this engine can deliver two to three times the power output of a Wankel engine of

equivalent length and diameter. Also an engine of similar power to a Wankel would be 50%lighter. The engine can be built as an Otto (gas) engine or as a multifuel diesel power plant witha compression ratio of greater than 20:1. Further information can be obtained from RegResources Corp, Dept. CC, 7-11720 Voyageur Way, Richmond, BC V6X-3G9,Canada.

GEOTHERMAL TECHNOLOGY

An article appeared in the Advertiser recently on a local housing development which is usinggeothermal technology and heat pumps to provide heating and cooling. This is interesting as ithas similarities with the Dennis Lee designs and his LTPC generator.





ASTRO LIBRARY

Roger has donated two of the Rex Research info packs to our library, and so are available to beborrowed. They are:

1. Bruce Depalma N Machine (Nos 1 - 5)

2. The Hubbard Coil Generator

NEXT MEETING

ASTRO SA's first ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING will be held at 7.30PM SHARP! on

FRIDAY JULY 22ND

This will involve election of our first "real" committee, so think about whether you want to beinvolved personally or nominate someone you think would be good for the position.

This will be followed by the normal monthly meeting at which we hope to have Rogerdemonstrate his ball bearing motor as seen on the DePalma talk show video.

The video for this meeting will be: Something not as technical as last month!

The usual applies in that please bring $3.00 to cover video purchase and newsletter postage, andsomething for supper would also be appreciated.

Please note that, as explained at the June meeting,the next meeting is not being held on the thirdFriday this month. I hope to see you all at there !!!!
