This simple experiment is a replication of the Quadra test done by Telos Research on 'Toroid coils and Vector
Potential'. This experiment has been fully detailled in the AGT/Telos web site 1. Recently, on dec 13, 2004, Jerry
Bayles has also conducted some tests in this field of research and he has obtained some interesting results 2
which tend to confirm the effect observed by Telos.
So, I have conducted myself one of the Telos' Quadra tests. I have used two ferrite coils commonly used to
remove RF in electronic power supplies. These two toroid coils are connected in parallel. The apparatus is
placed on a styrofoam plate and a 2x20 mm stainless steel rod is used as a projectile.

A simple experiment setup : A 21000 F capacitor (charged at about 50V) is discharged through the two toroid
coils.

Above, the measured voltage accross the toroid coils during the discharge.
Test results : This first serie of tests has been successfull : when the capacitor is discharged into the device, the
projectile is accelerated up to a very high speed through the main axis of the toroid coils. It is projected up to 30
cm far. Different sizes of capacitors have also been tested ( 80000 F and 160000 F ), the best thrust has been
obtained with a 21000 F charged at about 50V DC. It seems that the time constant ( dI/dt ) has a major role to
get the max thrust. It is also important to notice that the polarity is not important.
Today, the main questions are : Does the thrust observed in this experiment can be really related to the Vector
Potential ? Or, does this experiment is a simple Lenz repulsive force experiment commonly used in any coil gun
?

Test with an Electrostatic charge detector ( Dec 18, 2004 )
In this test, I have checked the presence of induced electric charges in a conductive rod fixed in the middle axis
of the two toroid coils. A very short current pulse produces a strong magnetic field in the toroid coils, if a
conductor (a brass rod) is placed in the middle, the free electrons move towards one side, so, the presence of
accumulated charges on each side can be detected by an electrometer.
Now, a new question arises : Is the motion of free electrons inside the conductive rod ( due to Motional Electric
Field 4 ) able to produce a sufficient force to move the rod itself ?

A small light Tested In some case a
weight sheet but effect very weak
of paper is not motion of a
ejected. confirmed small sheet of
paper has been
observed, but
this seems
produced only
by a mechanical
vibration of the
toroid coils
apparatus.
Today, after a lot of tests conducted on the Telos' Toroid coils, it seems that the effects observed are
relevant to a common Lenz repulsion force produced by the leakage of the magnetic field produced by
a saturation of the ferrite core. A true action of the Magnetic Vector Potential has not yet been detected
in the Telos' toroid coils device.
