Toroid Coils and Vector Potential   The following information is directed to those involved in the ATG/Telos Quadra test series. The information content is of little value to the general public or when when taken out of the context of the Quadra tests.
The Quadra test power supply


*Note that V1 was increased from 40V to 50V in series #2 testing and the total capacity was increased to 21.7Kuf. The pulse power supply consists of 2 x 8200uf capacitors charged to 50 volts, resulting in the pulse in Joules being equal to the J = ½ CV² or ½ 1.64E-2 * 50² = 2.04E1 W/sec
  The strange oscillation seen in the Quadra test run, Series #3B, run #4.     Movement of coils caused from Vector Potential?

The coils visibly move upward against gravity when excited. The movement can not be attributed to wire heating on the leads that suspend the coils. The reason is that if the wire is heated, it would sag and the coils would move downward rather than upward. In addition the majority of heat would be generated in the largest resistance, which is the coils themselves. The resistance of the 1cm lead lengths is a small fraction of the total resistance.   Ejecting the paper dot off the Quadra configuration
The small paper dot cut from 20lb paper is ejected off of the top of the coils when the coils are excited with a trigger pulse.
  Ejection of a small Fe wire from the center of the Quadra coils, the loaded wire.

  When the coils are pulsed, the wire is shot out like a missile, a far different reaction than from a common coil where the wire would attemp to center itself within the coil.

Notice that this is the same direction of force indicated when the coils are placed horizontal and move upward against gravity. Where in this test the Fe wire is pushed from the smaller to the larger coils, indicating the same direction of the force, yet not indicating the magnetic effect expected.
Can the Vector Potential Bend Laser Light?


The following is a picture of the photo sensor (without lens and light tube) that was used in the laser testing. The laser beam was adjusted to a 0.5mm diameter before striking the lense over the photo detector. Testing indicated that we could detect a shift of 0.25 degrees.


An increase in beam shift sensitivity was accomplished by construction of an end cap over the end of the detector light tube. Four holes were placed in the cap every 90' as shown in the following illustration. The beam was adjusted so that it fell just out side of the holes. If the beam moved in any way the photocell would detect light. The sensor was placed 15 meters from the coils and the laser entered the coils from 20cm behind.
