Figuera generator modification sketch

[bigeasy]

I attempted to demonstrate the concept of understanding the FIGUERA generator presented on the MOOKER website by Jim Mac.
I simplified the rotary distributor and the resistor by using a potentiometer in bidirectional switching mode. I used Google Translate.

Hello @bigeasy,

Great you opened your own Topic!

Ok, are you sure that is the way that Jim Mac has connected the Battery to Resistor(s)?

Because the way I see it, the Battery AND the Two Coils (N&S) are connected ALL the time to Resistor or Potentiometer in Parallel.
According to the Currents Path, "Currents will always find the path of less Resistance"
So, I see Resistance Variation is doing "very little" - or nothing- to affect the current path to coils...

On the Real Figuera (Original) the 'Wiper' from Variable Resistor Box 'R' is connected to the Positive while Two Negative legs go straight to the Coils N & S.

Maybe I am missing something here?

  I've carefully examined the electrical diagram and noticed a difference between Figuera's drawing and Jim
Figuera's electromagnets are in opposition; they repel each other.

       N               y             S
-------------><-----------><----------

In the diagram of Jim, the magnetic fields of the electromagnets are oriented in the same magnetic direction.
        N                y                S
-------------> ------?------- >----------> What is the influence of this principle?

Ok, I read on Mooker what Jim is doing...
@bigeasy : your diagrams are correct, perfect.

Here the Total Resistance of Potentiometer or Linear Variable Resistor must be VERY HIGH.
As the Coils Resistance is better with lower values.
This will FORCE currents to go through the Wiper Path.

Now it makes sense...
