TRANSFORMATION/AMPLIFICATION
SUB-SYSTEM
In a related R & D effort
towards the redevelopment of
the well-known Swiss M-L Con-
verter, the Sinclaire Techno-
logy Research group of Burnby
B.C.,Canada, has now proven
and validated the high voltage,
new E/S subsystem of the M-L
Converter,as of April 30/92.
Pierre Sinclaire believes that
the Swiss M-L Converter can be
successfully duplicated over
here and has now set about to
accomplish this task in Canada.
In reference to the solid-state
transformation/amplification
sub-system,Mr. Sinclaire believ-
es that is is not possible to
obtain multiple,uniform spark-
jumps within the solid-state
components as now built here,
and that these plates become
ionized due to the imposition
of the high voltage across them.
He further believes that this
H/V ionization is adequate to
produce the required reaction
of lower voltage and high amper-
age within the core coils of
these conversion components.
Considerable efforts remains to
be accomplished with these twin,
conversion components before
the required results can be ex-
pected.
Sufficient circumstantial evid-
ence has now been evolved to be-
lieve that space energy can be
effectively transduced into such
advanced energy systems to prod- 4.355 of the H.V. conversion portion of
uce o/u/o in the 1000% Eff-range!
S his component circumstantial
evidence is based on the specif-
ic phenomena of bifilar wound
coils over barium-ferrite perman-
ent magnet cores,
These specific o/u/o components
have been evident in the past
free energy project work of Hans
Coler,Paul Baumann (Swiss) and
lately Floyd Sweet and his V.T.A
project work.
The recent project work of William
-Hyde regnforces these past find-
ings, since his basic E/S generat-
or project includes a conversion
arrangement consisting of a large
number of capacitor/diode sets
which accomplishes the same end
results as the previously describ-
ed twin,large conversion compon-
ents.
While controversy presently surr-
ounds Wm. Hyde's E/S genegator
project, several researchers be-
lieve that his various patent er
ror; are a matter of minor detail
design, and that the basic thrust
of his E/S are correct and very
valuable to this basic E/S emerg-
ing technology.
At this point in this advanced
energy project work it is diff-
icult to determine which of the
two possible H.V. conversion met-
hods will prove to be the most
successful and practical on a
long term basis.
It is not inconceivable that an
optimum blending of both conver-
sionsmay utimately be accomplish-
ed,as this F/E project work con-
tinues.
The best features of both conver-
sion methods may be adopted, ie:
the very high voltage reduction
within the large,twin polarized
components may be modified with
the adaptation of a moderate arr-
ay of diode/capacitor sets,as de-
scribed in the Hyde patent.
Because of the persistance of the
Sinclaire Technology group in re-
solving the dynamic portion of the
Swiss M-L Converter project,with
eight months of sustained effort,
we believe that this group has a
fair shot at a final resolution
the Swiss M-L Converter subsystem.
