I have been waiting patiently for this video. I see the process is a lot more refined now for us electrical luddites.
After frying a few $60 flasher units plus getting very busy I got frustrated and stopped. I don't know how nor care that the unit switches without a flasher unit but am very pleased to see it.
Regardless of the other applications I see a definite and immediate use for decontaminating food prior to ingestion.
This is great thankyou. I'm relatively new to all this. I'm almost there although wanted to know what strength magnets to use. Thanks again for all your help 🙏🙏🙏
Not necessary. All you need to do is make your fixture bigger, and have more supplies one hand. Building it bigger or smaller is basically the same process with more or less wire & magnets. The principal is the same.
Thanks to you, I am now drinking distilled water & sharing with the fam. So much to learn...I have been trying to slow things down to decompress for a bit. <3
Working on garden & chickens (a labor of love). I think triangle experiment will be my next project. The comments are helpful to read.
I'm also tempted to squirrel away some $$ and just get it in my hands, already. :D
You are the "best". Thank you. I love the peg form that you made. Makes it so easy to get the Triangle off it. My frame made from cutting boards is painful, even if I add spacers between it and the Triangle. Your Triangles are well designed and safe to use with a surge protector. Blessings.
Could You please further explain the magnets alignment? Does it even matter? Do the pairs need different pole alternation? You say the pairs are repelling, but You don't explain: a] which pole (north or south) is facing each other, and b] if those pairs are alternating (FOR EXAMPLE: Top row 1st pair N-N (facing), 2nd pair S-S, 3rd pair N-N // Bottom row 1st pair S-S, 2nd pair N-N, 3rd pair S-S?). THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help and for providing such awesome content!!! :)
Found out, according to Tony Pantallaresco, it's not "Rocket science", so i guess it doesn't really matter, as long as the pairs of magnets are opposing (repelling). Tony neither didn't tell which pole to oppose (north or south), but he seems to be aligning all the magnets exactly the same way. So whether he uses N-N or S-S, all the opposing pairs are aligned with the same pole and don't alternate. I guess one could alternate those pairs and it wouldn't lessen the effect (maybe it would even improve the performance).
I have built the triangular 40 magnet version following the instructions carefully and using the specified components. However it doesn't seem particularly strong, moving a magnet compass only slightly and certainly not making another magnet jump. Could it be it needs more coils?
Pretend I'm five and explain the magnet-flipping I see going on, if you would be so kind to this non-electrician/physicist/garage-mechanic/MacGyver.
1) I see you have stacked two magnets on top of each other, and taped them together. So you stack magnets that naturally attract -- not repel -- each other, correct? Because opposing charges attract each other? And does it matter which flat side you place against the duct tape?
2) I was unable to find for purchase the exact speaker wire and magnet size described, but I do have 14 gauge wire and 19mm x 4mm ceramic magnets. My understanding is the wire is the same inside different gauges, but the coating around the wire determines the different size. Is 14 gauge likely to give me poorer results (not quite as much wire running through the device)? And provided I use more magnets than your 30 x 4mm -- say, enough to cumulatively add to the same surface volume as 30 x 4mm-- will my resulting triangle be as effective, in your estimation?
They are taped because the are trying to push away from each other, they are secured by tape, tape would not be needed otherwise. You can use in order I personally prefer: 12g - 14g - 16g.
Hi could you explain to me which magnets you mean are pair opposing, the top and bottom on each side? What is the effect of this and why 8 on one side and 6 on the other 2?
Do you have a video explaining what is happening to the bad stuff when you turn on the device - curious on the actual things happening the the synthetic biology.
Thanks for the video! Each laptop has its own specific charger with a different connector type, voltage, and amperage rating. What are the specs that you used.
It's amazing Eric that you can use copper clad wire. That's a whole lot cheaper than the 100%copper I used before. Whew! TY for all you do. I got my board drilled last night. Blessings Brother !
I appreciate all it has and still does cost you and Tony to learn what you have, and then again to share it with us. Thank you both.
Hi Eric,

Thanks.

Thanks brother.
How do you use it overall and specifically to decontaminate food and water?
Eric has posted good videos on that.
You guys are the best… keep thinking and creating 👏
Do all magnets face the center of the triangle with the same poles?
All pairs are opposing
We are in the Uk and can source magnets that are 40x3 or 40x5mm, which would you suggest please ??
Both sizes will work.
Thank you Eric for your valuable advice. I made my triangle (Tony's model)
This is great thankyou. I'm relatively new to all this. I'm almost there although wanted to know what strength magnets to use. Thanks again for all your help 🙏🙏🙏
They don't need to be very powerful, I personally discourage people from using very powerful magnets, it can be to overwhelming.
Thanks for the quick reply 👍 What your doing is really appreciated. 🙏
Hey Eric, what do you mean when you say overwhelming, in terms of symptoms?
can you do a video on building the bigger one with the parts list
Not necessary. All you need to do is make your fixture bigger, and have more supplies one hand. Building it bigger or smaller is basically the same process with more or less wire & magnets. The principal is the same.
yeah thats if you can get all the parts down here in oz we pay $280 for the magnets alone
and about $175 for the cable . better to just make the spike here

Also, I had to use figure of 8 wire instead of round shaped insulation, could that make a difference
The only suggestion I have is to set up a video meeting. Short of that, I doubt I can help you troubleshoot through simple text.

Thanks for your reply. I'm out of town for a week or so, but in the mean time I am going to try a different winding technique and see if that helps

Would you kindly provide a list of materials in text?
12AWG Speaker Wire (100 Foot)
40 Ceramic Magnets (30mm x 4mm)
1 Electrical Tape
1 Max Strength Duct Tape
1 Laptop Charger (100 watt to 200 watt)
4 Alligator Clips
Thanks for the video! Each laptop has its own specific charger with a different connector type, voltage, and amperage rating. What are the specs that you used.
Any suggestions on where to buy ?
I just try to use power supplies between 100 to 200 watt output
What does the triangle cost if I order i order it from you?
Please email me for further: FireMedic8@proton.me
It's amazing Eric that you can use copper clad wire. That's a whole lot cheaper than the 100%copper I used before. Whew! TY for all you do. I got my board drilled last night. Blessings Brother !
Why did you stay with 40 Magnets? Didn't Tony do his with 80?
Also, what are the specs on your template board you built and are using? Thanks for the video!
this one is a smaller triangle the big one must be 80
and perhaps instructions too? I'd like to ensure with 100% certainty that I did it right
