Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

An essential part of this design which is not indicated clearly in the patent, is that what was common practice a
hundred years ago, namely, that the input power connection to point 17 of the primary of the (step-up) transformer
15, is fed through an “interrupter” contact. This connection opens when the coil 16-to-17 is energised, causing
the insulated iron wire bundle core of the coil to become magnetised, and attract the pivoted arm of the
interrupter, which breaks the current to the coil very sharply, causing high frequency resonant oscillations in both
windings of the transformer 15, which generates the excess power which runs the system and its additional loads.
In Benitez’s day, door bells used this style of interrupter to produce a hammering action on a metal bell. These
were very cheap, very simple and very reliable.
As I understand it then, the voltage difference between the two pairs of batteries, charge capacitor 14 and apply
power to the primary winding 16-17 of step-up transformer 15. This causes a current to flow in this winding,
making the core attract the pivot arm of the interrupter in the same way that a relay operates. This breaks the
current flow very sharply, causing a powerful back-EMF pulse in the primary winding. The primary winding has a
resonant frequency, very considerably lowered by the presence of the iron core which itself is a low-frequency
material, and the coil oscillates at its resonant frequency, not for just one cycle but for many cycles. Each of those
cycles generates a high voltage in the secondary winding 18-19 and every one of those cycles contributes highvoltage
power to the system. That power is fed to three outlets. Firstly, it flows back to provide charging power to
one of the battery pairs. Secondly, it adds additional power to the capacitor driving its own primary winding.
Thirdly, it provides power for the load which is shown as a series of lamps connected in parallel.
That is just for the first interrupter pulse. The broken current through the primary winding 16-17 causes its core to
cease to be an electromagnet and so it ceases to attract the pivot arm of the interrupter and while that seems very
quick in human terms, it is very slow compared to the multiple oscillations ringing in the winding. When the pivot
arm returns to its starting position, it establishes the current flow through the primary winding once again.
However, the charge on the capacitor powering the primary winding has been boosted by those resonant
oscillations in the secondary winding and so is more highly charged than when the interrupter contact opened
previously. This process continues repeatedly, providing battery charge and power to the load.
According to Carlos, there is a slight overall drain on the battery system and so, after about an hour, the switches
are operated, changing the series-connected batteries to become parallel-connected and the parallel-connected
batteries to become series-connected. This timing seems odd as switching the batteries over much more
frequently only requires batteries with a much lower capacity.
As we are not familiar with induction coils and interrupters now that solid-state electronics is available, we can get
constructional and operational information from that period in the book “Wireless Telegraph Construction for
Amateurs” by Alfred Powell Morgan, published in 1913, which is available as a free download from here:

For example, the interrupter details include:
“Some means of charging the capacitor is necessary. An induction coil is the most practical for the amateur. The
induction coil consists of a primary coil of wire wound around a central iron core and surrounded by a secondary
coil consisting of many thousands of turns of carefully insulated wire. The primary coil is connected to a source of
direct current which also includes an interrupter to “make” and “break” the current in rapid succession. Every
“make” of the circuit and consequent magnetisation of the core, induces a momentary inverse current in the
secondary winding, and every “break” and corresponding demagnetisation induces a momentary direct current.
Normally, the induced currents would be equal, but by means of a capacitor connected across the interrupter, the
circuit when “made” requires considerable time for the current and magnetisation of the core to reach a maximum
value, while when broken, the demagnetisation and current drop are nearly instantaneous. The value of the
induced electromotive force in a circuit, varies with the speed at which the magnetic lines of force cut the circuit,
and so, the induced e.m.f. at “break” becomes high enough to leap across a spark gap.
The formulas connected with induction coils depend on conditions which are never met in actual practice and
cannot be relied on. To construct a coil of a given size, it is necessary to use dimensions obtained empirically.
Therefore, the amateur should stick closely to the lines or hints given here, or which appear in some up to date
book on induction coil building.
For a long time, the induction coil was an expensive, inefficient instrument, until wireless telegraphy demanded of
it more rigid and efficient design and construction. It was the aim of manufacturers to produce the longest
possible spark length with a minimum amount of secondary wire. As a result of this demand, wireless coils are
now made with a core of larger diameter and give heavier and thicker sparks. The secondary in this case, is short
and uses wire of large cross-sectional area in order to reduce the resistance and minimise the heating.
