Sorry, I was unclear. I meant it's originally wound as a multi-strand. I know she then wires it up as two multi-turn windings.


--- Quote ---The multi-strand is just a production method. She then goes ahead and connects the strands so they form one continues wire by soldering their ends together. (assuming she does not accidentally solders a strand to itself, but there's only a small chance of that)
--- End quote ---

Seems her multimeter checking eliminates chances of that.


--- Quote ---There are two of these "multi-strand-converted-into-single-wire" things. And while she does wire them in opposite direction, it is not entirely clear how she connects them. Current thus could still flow in one single direction, making it essentially one single loop, creating a stable single magnetic field in the toriod center despite the slanted angles.

Not quite, as the entire multi-strand reverses turn direction half way through winding. So even if the two groups are wired in series, it STILL cancels. But why make two groups, if they are then wired in series? So I think they are connected oppositely as well. So it... sort of doubly cancels. Does not make it 'uncancel'.


--- Quote ---Or two opposing loops, making the current canceling each other out in classic thinking, but maybe creating weird oscillations and escaping fields through the diamond holes in the windings. If anything weird and 'otherworldly' would happen, I would guess it would be in this configuration.

Only at very high frequencies, I'd have thought? But from the video it's not even clear if the energization is DC or AC.

If it was a simply wound coil, reversing half way through, and also with two bifilar windings (one reversed) it's obviously going to produce zero magnetic field. It's the twist and 90 degrees between winding layers that exceeds my mental-model ability. I suppose the entire scam depends on exactly that, with most people.


--- Quote ---If you really think something may be happening, do build it and let us know.
--- End quote ---

No, I don't think anything odd is going to happen. But I'm the kind of person who'd like to actually check on that, since I'm having trouble visualizing it. It's that trouble that makes it interesting. Would like to have one, put AC through it, and probe the space inside and between the windings with a small pickup loop coil to help visualize what the B field (if any) is actually doing.


--- Quote ---And don't forget to buy your wire and toroid template with them, so you are helping them becoming rich improving the world.
--- End quote ---

I'm having no difficulty visualizing the chances of me giving them any money. Zero.
But it's times like this I wish I did have a CNC router, or a 3D printer. To make a bunch of those former disks. Already have rolls of suitable wire.
Though, it's a lot of nice enameled wire to waste on a stupid idea.

That big reel of wire she is using in the video must cost a bomb. It's quite heavy gauge too.

Here's a real classic! It's got everything - a catchy name, a link to 'physicists are baffled' bit of mainstream research, serious looking guys waving hands around over a bit of CGI mumbo-jumbo,  funny looking coils, mention of Nikola Tesla, a trendy young guy giving a 'send us money' video, and a basic idea that's easy to say and sound like some kind of expert (even if so vague it's meaningless), and an 'opportunity' to invest in the 'new energy technology'.

All torque, torque, torque and no working demo device powering a home. Why does this sound familiar?

As energy scams go, I'd give them 8/10 for polish. But I'm disappointed there's no teasers online for their revolutionary patents. (I hope you can see the invisible single quotes when I write that.) No free teasers makes them lose points under my scam-grading scale.
FrankBuss:
So he is just selling an overpriced coin, and no facts at all about the invention? :-DD I would rather buy a Krügerrand for the next financial crisis.
Kjelt:
This one could actually work  :-DD
