Hello All,

Ok so, I did a Graphic and quick Analysis on this new Figuera's approach...


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.):


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

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.
