Rodin Coils

Never heard of these before but according to wiki:


The Rodin Coil consists of a pair of wires wrapped around a doughnut-shaped core in a star pattern. Rodin claims this particular design, deduced from his number theory, yields different electromagnetic properties than any other coil - enabling it to create perpetual energy, and thus breaking fundamental laws of physics. Rodin admits no being able to build those coils himself - as he is "not an electrical engineer" (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVrrtigK ... re=related at 3:00). In absence of any scientific proof, it remains therefore highly questionable, to say the least, whether the Rodin coil has any special physical properties.

Emphasis mine. That's fantastic news, it would solve the world's energy problems in one stroke. Oh I'm so happy we've discovered this :dance: I just KNEW there had to be a solution to the perpetual motion problem. This guy should be on for a Nobel prize.

Some more links here.

People on energeticforum are working on similar things, so that means they're his peers. And they've reviewed what he's written. So it's passed peer review.

Perpetual motion by itself would not necessarily solve anything, since it does not imply an energy output, and certainly not a usable output in collectable form on a practical scale, which is what a real solution to the energy problem would entail.

If you can create one perpetual motion machine which gives a slight output of power then you just need like a million of them, then motors which take that little bit of power to turn slightly bigger motors to produce more power... I have a plan, meet me in the dark cupboard where nobody can hear and I'll tell you all about it ;)

But at least it would give you something to stick your Rodin.

There was a thread on this on the old RDF site. I think it was tied into some woo math thread if I remember correctly. I remember reading up on him and the last I heard, he had claimed that he had engineers at HP checking out his numbers and I don't remember the perpetual motion aspect. It was a few years ago that I saw his lecture on YouTube but I tuned out when he started using Mod 9 math to justify his numerology. If the claim to perpetual motion was on that video, I must have quit watching before I got that far.

I fail to see how using Mod9 math is going to assist calculations except to aid in confusing reviewers.

I think he was confused himself. It's been forever but if I remember correctly, he came to mod9 math through numerology by pure chance and that's when I realized how whacked out he was. After that revelation, I sorta zoned out then turned off the lecture.

Ha!! Here we go!! Vortex math!! Damn it's been awhile. It's amazing how many people build these things and post them to YouTube and claim "Be open minded and it will work". Anyways, here is the lecture I was talking about and never finished watching.

Reminds me of this spoof I wrote in 'Daily Mail' style at work one day, whiling away the time:
Wonder Device Gives Unlimited Power!

Brilliant Invention Suppressed by British Secret Service!

World’s energy shortage solved!

Details of an amazing invention have just been released after lying in secret files gathering dust for over 30 years in British Intelligence vaults. This Invention of the Century - one cannot call it less than that - draws energy from the fabric of space itself and consumes less than a tenth of the power that it produces.

The unorthodox German inventor - a Herr Coler (here) - who stumbled across this incredible effect in the late 1920’s after years of research, was ridiculed by his peers and rejected by the Nazi authorities. The details of the invention were confiscated after World War II by the British Secret Service and deemed worthy of suppression to protect business interests.

The Space Magnetic Energy Generator (SMEG) uses magnets and coils of wire to extract almost unlimited energy from the Earth’s very own magnetic field. How it actually works is under investigation but it is promised that a practical SMEG will be in production in the near future.

The first step will be to produce an Intermediate Technology SMEG - code named SMEGIT leading to the Operational and Fully Functional device - the SMEGOFF.

Late Breaking News on the SMEG device!

Our British scientists, located at a top secret research laboratory (this reporter has promised not to reveal its whereabouts) have succeeded in making the SMEG device small enough to fit into the palm of ones hand for low cost mass production. A well known manufacturer, who does not wish to be named, has expressed interest in producing the miniaturised SMEG. A company spokesperson informed me: “That by using an ordinary 1½ volt torch battery as the power source the user can, for instance, power a 60 watt bedside lamp for five hours or your transistor radio at full volume for up to 120 hours. The Miniaturised Appliance (MA), which we have named the SMEGMA, will be in the shops in time for Christmas”.

Latest developments.

A new audio amplification unit using the SMEG device has been developed and has been shown to have extraordinary Hi-Fi performance. The main feature of the new amplifier is its ability to convert, for example, Country & Western to total silence with zero distortion. A well known petroleum giant (a household name) has expressed an interest in this new concept as part of its program of diversification into other fields. The amplifier has been technically described as a High Energy Amplification Device (HEAD). This will mean that all Hi-Fi enthusiasts will be able to justifiably call themselves TOTAL SMEGHEADs.

I posted this on RDF - I think.

Yeah! So, with nothing else to do and not feeling very energetic (I'm dying with a cold and sore throat), I trolled through some of these YouTube thingies - it soon degenerated into UFOs, anti-grav & aliens. There was one guy who had made one of these Rodin coils and was measuring the DC resistance with a digital Ohmeter. He moved a magnet through the centre of the coil and exclaimed "Look, the resistance changes..." He was introducing a varying voltage back into the Ohmeter so of course the indicated value ('resistance') changed.
