And that's how anti-gravity works

I've fallen down a very weird rabbit hole
@cypnk ... Reminds me of the Searl Effect Generator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxMHgsmlEfs

@davidpgil And now I've been sent down another rabbit hole 馃槀

I had never heard of the Searl Effect before. This is all a new kind of witchcraft they never taught me in school. Something about "laws of physics" etc... :P

@cypnk I would love to see you build one. I would love to build one myself, but I think I'd need to ramp up skills quite a bit!

@davidpgil For something like this, I think the trick is a whole lot of patience and to go slowly. In terms of skill, there's not a lot of demand, except for maybe a bit of soldering here and there

As for the coils, there are jigs and models you can use to speed up the process and make sure the windings are nice and neat

I think the real skill is finding the free time ;)

@cypnk ... I've done "soldering" only when doing stained glass art when I was in high school. I'm not sure what is involved in actually winding these coils correctly in order to get the right effect. Theres lots of knowledge like that I would need to experiment with. Of course I would love learning it. I am trying to find a way to have a lot more free time and have a workshop area for such things. As far as a home workshop I've only gone as far as almost completing putting together an engraver..

@davidpgil The wonderful thing about the web is the abundance of tutorials out there. YouTube in particular has been great for a lot of those. This is a lovely primer on winding coils and a bit of background on turns vs. resistance

It's basically a desk lathe with a spool and a clicker (those thumb counters) to count the turns. Very clever setup that saves a lot of time

@cypnk No doubt! Like you said, just need time. Ill get to it. In fact ill add this device to my grand list! 馃挜
