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.

In the diagram of Jim, the magnetic fields of the electromagnets are oriented in the same magnetic direction.

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...

Hello All,
Ok so, I did a Graphic and quick Analysis on this new Figuera's approach...
JIM_FIGUERA_APPROACH.png
So, in order for this arrangement to work, the
Total Resistance at Potentiometer must be very high, in order to force currents through the Wiper circuit.
As the wiper must always have resistance on either sides, otherwise the Coil that is contracting will collapse (Points "S Max" and "N Max") by being shorted (not receiving power at all.):
JIM_FIGUERA_APPROACH_S_MAX.png
Like it shows on above Img, at S Max Point, we can see that N Coil is shorted by Wiper, and so if 'some' currents are able to travel through Coil S to Coil N negative leg, let's always remember the law of "path of less resistance"...And here obviously the currents preferred path would be through wiper (zero resitance)
Then Wiper must -always- travel between Points "a" & "b".
The Original Figuera had these two points with zero resistance to grant Full Currents at "Max Points"...this design does not offer that option.
So, there would always be some resistance reaching the coils. (IF Wiper moves Max between "a" & "b")
My Opinion: Other than offering a Fixed Parallel Resistance to Battery (as the "R Box" on Figuera), this design is another "Variable Resistance" feeding Coils.
Which means it will be also varying the Currents reaching the Coils N & S.
On my part, I wish the best of luck to this new approach...However, I see there is not much difference from all other failed attempts to make Figuera's Original Design work based on Variable resistors/ Variable Currents.
And I honestly hope that I am wrong...
Sincerely
Ufopolitics
The schematic is wrong, and it opperates differently than shown. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYaiXf-p5Ws
I have watched both of the videos and your idea is very interesting. I think you might be right. I need so time to try that out with some coils to see what happens. Thanks for sharing that video and the one before it.
