With plenty of help at the Country Estate segment of the UK Electric Universe conference, we built another "Solar System as Center Core Electrical Transformer". Special thanks to Noel & Chris for supplies; Mandy & Jane for many windings; and Robert who took over explaining what it was all about to the steady stream of curious visitors to the Yurt. (Yes, I believe this is the first time a scale model of the solar system as transformer was constructed in a yurt.)
You can read the Part 1 & 2 of this experiment for all the background and description. I will here only make new observations.
This version had the same spatial dimensions, and the same numbers of coils as the previous. The resulting resonant frequencies were very much the same. This time I also captured the Voltage Peak to Peak ( VPP ) of the resonance in the planet-coil. VPP drops off inversely with frequency. Now that is confirmed, let's hope I can make the next model with different sizes and numbers of coils.
When measuring two planet-coils at the same time, the results are very complicated. The resonant frequencies and amplitudes are obviously shifted off the "just measure one coil at a time" values. I can only think that the oscilloscope is becoming part of the circuit, but the oscilloscope has 1 Mohm resistance, while the planet-coils are <10 ohms. Strange. You can see this in the video above, where I am measuring Mercury-coil and Venus-coil at the same time, and the resonant frequency is 61 kHz, compared to 81 kHz when only measuring one coil at a time. This needs looking into.
While measuring one planet-coil, the amplitude of the response would drop by about 30% if with my finger I touched the lead of an adjacent planet-coil. When I touch the other planet I will assume I am adding to the load, or electrical inertia, of that planet - which then causes the first planet to "have more difficulty" in oscillating. The planet-coils are very sensitive to each other.
For future thought, we might take 125kHz as how to scale the 22-year solar cycle to a model that fits into a Yurt. That is, I think this ratio 22yr / 125kHz, or 1.2x10-14, is how we scale time between the actual solar system and our human scale.
Does this yet teach us anything about the solar system? Better to say we have additional ways to ask questions of solar system data, and look for new data. We are drawn towards looking for a scale of resonances shared by planetary magnetospheres. We are also drawn towards examining the relation between the spacings of the planets and the inherent resonances of the entire system.
