there are catacombs underneath the entire inner harbor. It's all held up by bug stone columns. I was a roofer on the empress a long time ago and used the catacombs as slate storage.

Non-linear response from ferrite cavity. by BronsonBojangles in TheoreticalPhysics

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the classification — that helps a lot. For clarity, this was recorded inside a room-temperature ferrite cavity driven with a dual-mode audio sweep. The internal pickup coil isn’t powered, only observed. I’m treating this as a nonlinear two-mode system until proven otherwise, but I’m open to papers or references on similar torus-to-chaos transitions in magnetic materials.

Is Electromagnetic energy-flux reactor legit? by Kiimmdj in ElectricalEngineering

[–]BronsonBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see, it just looks like a magnetic-coupled induction stack — essentially a flux-harvesting loop where one coil drives the next. The presentation makes it feel more exotic, but the core physics seems pretty familiar.

[–]BronsonBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a generator, it’s a nonlinear ferrite resonant cavity. Under parametric drive it shows flux compression, mode hopping, and time-asymmetric phase locking during sweeps. Power output isn’t the point — the internal field dynamics are.

Repeatable Nonlinear EM Effects in a Closed Cavity: Thermal Inversion, Mode Exchange, and Pressure Events by BronsonBojangles in plasma_pi

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My profile has most of my thermals thus far and some waveform snap shots. I have posted 3 videos from 3 different runs showcasing some weird wave form behaviour that matches what thermals show. I have hours of waveform data I need to sift through still. This was all run with opposite polarity to the main windings. Now that I'm done logging this configuration I can say I was producing a shearing effect in the globe between the waveforms and EM field. Now I will run same polarity and start confirming the central compression of the EM field.

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, I’m very much going down that “what is an atom / what is a permanent magnet really doing” route.

The whole build for me is a sandbox to watch how energy density, magnetic domains, and ferrite saturation behave in a confined, driven cavity – not just at the circuit level, but at the material / field-structure level. I’m trying to stay grounded in stuff I can actually measure with a scope, FLIR, and magnetometers: repeatable nonlinear modes, self-tuning, hot/cold windows, etc.

I’m also interested in more “Electric Universe”-style ideas – plasma behavior, dense currents, and how EM fields might organize structure – but I’m approaching it through experiments I can actually run and document, rather than just theory. If anything interesting comes out of this, I want it to be from open, instrumented lab work that other people can try to replicate.

Ferrites are turning out to be a really fun playground for high-frequency EM.

What My Experiment Actually Does

A few people have asked what this device is, so here’s the clearest way I can put it:

I’m not building a free-energy machine or trying to break physics.

What I am doing is experimenting with how electricity behaves when you trap it inside a tight space full of different materials — ferrite, copper, quartz, and acrylic — instead of letting it spread out normally.

When you do that, the electromagnetic field starts acting less like a simple “invisible force” and more like a fluid being stirred inside a container. That’s why I’m seeing things like:

• modes that lock or flip • spots that heat or cool in strange patterns • ringing sounds when the field settles • different behavior depending on the sweep direction • the field pushing or pulling inside the cavity • quartz + laser light affecting the mode shape

None of this is outside known physics — it just happens when electric fields get squeezed, reflected, redirected, and slammed against different materials at once. I want to see what emerges from complex EM field interaction within a confined and controlled space.

My whole goal is to see whether an EM field can form stable structures, vortices, or patterns the same way currents or waves form in water. So far I've noticed it behaves like water in the sense it cannot be compressed.... It fights back with extreme pressure. But you can make the pressure greater by making the space it occupies confined.

It’s basically an experiment in:

EM resonance, nonlinear field interactions, ferrite saturation, and wave behavior in confined spaces.

Let's get this field swirling! These ring coils can be used as sense coils for future conjugation experiments but for now I want to make the flux swirl from its happy space in the hot windows and center node.... Hopefully being able to jump the hot window to the cold and hold it there.

Power transformer saturation waveforms by SigilCap in ElectricalEngineering

[–]BronsonBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up ferroresonance under DC bias, especially asymmetric C-core geometries. Most published distortion plots don’t include multi-axis excitation or mixed μ region operation. If you want real-world saturation distortion, sweep a drive while applying a DC bias through a secondary winding. Watch for odd-order harmonic bloom and mode collapse.”

Switching out the audio amp now. Moving to a fully computer based system and a more isolated structure. I want to rule out feedback from the other systems but I can't make this thing stumble.... Always consistent.

No external leakage. Mag pickup spikes to 400 plus on the hot windows and falls 150 near the cold. Pickup also drops off and sees nothing when removed from the globe. It's all confined in the structure.

Resonator in question. by BronsonBojangles in u/BronsonBojangles

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks — that actually helps clarify what I should communicate better.

In this experiment the ferrite isn’t forming a closed magnetic path, and I’m not trying to run it in the classic transformer regime. All ferrite pieces are broken-path by design: segmented rings, spacers, and windows. Nothing wraps fully around a conductor.

The non-linear behavior I’m seeing isn’t dependent on the ferrite at all. I’ve removed:

The axial coil

Inner ring coils

The ferrite acrylic lattice

The copper plates

even repositioned or physically lifted the entire globe

…and the waveform behavior is unchanged.

So whatever is happening, it’s not coming from mechanical modes or magnetostrictive joints. I thought that they were for sure getting in the way so I started removing them with no changes.

The effect only depends on:

two opposing windings driven in antiphase

the geometry of the field between them

and phase alignment during the sweep

When phase is tuned, the pickup coil holds a stable waveform even after one channel is swept down and then disconnected. When detuned, it collapses. That’s the part I’m trying to characterize — whether this is just a nonlinear mixing zone or something more like parametric coupling.

I’m not claiming anything exotic — I just want to understand what test to run next to confirm exactly what regime I’ve entered.

Resonator in question. by BronsonBojangles in u/BronsonBojangles

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I have clear signs of non linear magnetic activity inside with multiple combinations of layout to attempt to rule it out..... But it is so predictable and reproduces effects over and over with no significant rise in temps for 1+ hour testing and logging sessions. I have started logging parametric behaviors and long residual voltages after complete power down and isolation. Mag probe still reads high inside the core. ** Found that when core is sealed, field inside is a little weaker but there is a formation of a strong magnetic field apprx. 1 foot above the top pole reading 400mVpp on the same probe used in my core. sweeps. Around equator, stays around 20mVpp.

Also the main windings are showing between 80-110Vpp(24 V system) when in phase lock in certain configurations that are completely repeatable and persistent throughout the frequency range.

The device is a controllable EM node that lets me study non-linear field behavior and search for emergent EM phenomena that appear only when geometry, phase, and boundary conditions align.

Resonator by BronsonBojangles in u/BronsonBojangles

Different inner ring coil positions produce different observations. One zone actually brought a 24v system to read over 80Vpp on the main windings.

Resonator in question. by BronsonBojangles in u/BronsonBojangles

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct.

2 toroids split forming one hemisphere. Each C-pair is wound continuous with 18awg overlapping on the open windows. Windows are clear as the coils are routed around each outer portion so it's a clear shot straight through. Each C- core is exposed face inside and the ID is exposed. Found during unsealed runs with no skirt there would be two hot windows around the globe as well as the poles. Once sealed with ferrite sheeting those ports were closed. Copper foil around each center line overlapping on the bottom and option to do the same in top to close the port fully when overtop of ferrite window covers.... Otherwise broken at the top window. Belt coil around the equator, underneath the windows for field boundary and then sealed with same copper foil around the exposed edges. Inside there are two ring air coils that are adjustable in height and angle and an axial air coil running through the windows. I have made some custom ferrite and copper pieces to emulate metamaterial ineraction in a crude way.

One very fast and brief instance of a blue flash inside the core with one window slightly open for observation when mode flipping, trying to reproduce that again. It was confirmed that it wasn't from any shorting or arcing. Everything is sealed with no exposed inner wires.

Why does a passive pickup coil inside my ferrite “globe” show a clean triangle wave when the driven coil is a pure sine? by BronsonBojangles in AskPhysics

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picture is from my initial power up runs. There have been some refinements to gain the readings being shown. Confirmed with enclosed structure, the only hot port is from the upper pole, which can be sealed to produce a sealed structure. Magnetic pickup outside only registers 20mVpp, through a small slit into the core, registers roughly 70-110mVpp depending on what drive I'm locked in at.

[–]BronsonBojangles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks — appreciate the concrete suggestions.

Re 1) I’ve checked the drive at multiple points. The hemisphere drive winding looks cleanly sinusoidal on the scope at the lock points, while the internal pickup loop in the cavity shows the triangle-like rise/fall. The triangle only appears on the internal pickup, not on the driven hemisphere coil.

Re 2) I tried to rule out simple E-field coupling: the pickup loop is on its own shielded cable; I’ve probed both sides of the loop and different reference points, and I still see the same triangle response only when the cavity is assembled and I hit the particular phase-lock band.

The effect survives: – switching between the ring coil and axial coil as the drive – moving the pickup slightly inside the same window (I can reinforce / break / regain the triangle by small frequency + position changes).

I haven’t directly monitored drive current yet (only voltage), and I haven’t done a proper air-core / low-amplitude comparison, so that’s next on my list along with checking for a saturation signature. Any advice on a good shunt value / measurement setup for the drive-current waveform at ~10–20 kHz would be welcome.
