MEMORIA DEL
SISTEMA DE PRODUCCION DE ELECTRICIDAD BUFORN
ANTECEDENTES
Para los efectos de esta Memoria, entendemos por industria elctrica aquella
que tiene por objeto la produccin de corrientes elctricas industriales,
prescindiendo al menos por ahora de las aplicaciones de esta misma
corriente.
El horizonte abierto por esta mquina pareca infinito, pero hace algn tiempo
apareci una desiderata, cual es la supresin del motor o sea la produccin
directa de la electricidad sin transformacin alguna.
Pues parece a simple vista que la mquina dinamo est exenta de defectos,
pero hay que tener presente que del detenido estudio de las acciones
recprocas entre corrientes y entre corrientes e imanes, dedujo Lenz la
siguiente ley que anuncian en estos o parecidos trminos algunos
renombrados tratados de electrotecnia: en un circuito cerrado que se
desplaza en un campo magntico, el signo de la corriente inducida es tal que
su accin se opone al movimiento.
PRINCIPIO DE INVENCION

esta
pregunta:
si
la
dinamo
no
es
una
Este razonamiento explica claramente, que una dinamo que absorbe un solo
amperio para alimentar sus inductores d trescientos amperios en el inducido.
Repitiendo lo dicho, supongamos que dentro del campo magntico de una
dinamo, giran varias espiras independientes de hilo delgado, cada una de
stas dar una determinada intensidad, y la suma de estas intensidades sera
igual a lo que dara una sola espira que tuviese una seccin magntica igual a
la suma de las secciones de las varias espiras de hilo delgado.
Y puesto que la ley dice que "hay produccin de corriente en todo circuito
cerrado, siempre que se modifique de una manera cualquiera el flujo de fuerza
que lo atraviesa."
El campo magntico produce unas ondas elctricas que actan sobre las
espiras del inducido, las dirige y las hace aptas para producir los efectos de
corriente y como mientras perduren las causas, los efectos se producirn
exactamente y en idnticas condiciones y por tiempo ilimitado.
La orientacin que toman las molculas del inducido, es decir, el trabajo que
se verifica dentro de su masa o alrededor de ella, nos es tan desconocido
como el que experimenta las molculas de un trozo de hierro, que se imante
merced a la corriente que circula por el hilo de un solenoide.
Solo vemos los efectos que se exteriorizan, los que tienen lugar dentro de la
masa de los cuerpos se desarrollan en parajes, en donde ni nuestros sentidos
ni nuestra inteligencia ha logrado penetrar. En todas las acciones moleculares
nos pasa lo propio.
La industria moderna prescinde muchas veces del fondo de las cosas, porque
le basta de momento conocer los efectos y saber aplicarlos de manera
conveniente a sus intereses.
Nunca como ahora puede decirse: "dame la cosa hecha y gurdate la manera
de hacerla".

Todas las palpitaciones del astro que habitamos estn bajo la influencia
directa del Sol, a quien la tierra debe la luz, el movimiento y la vida en su
superficie.
Sin pasar adelante, fijmonos en que todava est para definir lo que es
electricidad y en particular su especial manifestacin el magnetismo terrestre.
La lgica pues, nos conduce a creer que las grandes palpitaciones del astro
central, que rige todo el sistema planetario, deben repercutir forzosamente en
la Tierra, sirvindole tal vez como puente conductor nuestra envolvente
magntica, penetrando los torrentes hasta conmover el ultimo tomo terrestre.
Pues adems el Sol influye poderosamente sobre la Tierra por medio de sus
electrones, que cuando chocan contra otros cuerpos desprenden de los
ltimos a otros electrones, pero cuando chocan contra substancias gaseosas
las ionizan, es decir, las vuelven conductoras de electricidad. As es que al
llegar los electrones del Sol a las capas ms altas y por ende ms enrarecidas
de nuestro planeta ionizan el aire, le hacen por lo tanto, conductor de la
electricidad que llevan, y como las corrientes elctricas dan origen a campos
magnticos, los electrones que circulan por los espacios interplanetarios
crean, como dice Deslandres un campo magntico en cada punto del espacio.
Y es lgico pensar que los dems astros pueden ejercer sobre la tierra un
influjo anlogo, aunque mucho menor, por ejemplo Jpiter, en el que no ha
mucho se han descubierto unos aspectos parecidos a los del Sol.
Hay que tener presente que nicamente estn en comunicacin las delgas de
la semicircunferencia Norte con la mitad de los extremos de las partes de la
resistencia y las de la semicircunferencia Sur no se comunican con la
resistencia, sino respectivamente con las delgas de la semicircunferencia
comunicadas con la mitad de los extremos de las espiras de la resistencia y
adems como quiera que la corriente pasa al campo magntico y vuelve del
mismo por los dos extremos de entrada y salida de la resistencia y como este
campo est constituido por dos series de electroimanes N y S, resulta que en
virtud de lo expuesto y del funcionamiento del aparato, cuando los
electroimanes N, estn llenos de corriente, los S, estn vacos y como la
corriente que los atraviesa va aminorando o aumentando en intensidad, segn
pase por ms o menos espiras de la resistencia, y por tanto en variacin
continua y puesto que esa funcin hemos logrado hacerla continua y
ordenada, en virtud del explicado procedimiento, habremos conseguido el
cambio constante de la intensidad de la corriente que atraviesa el campo
magntico formado por los electroimanes N, y S, y cuya corriente una vez
cumplida su misin en los diferentes electroimanes vuelve al origen de donde
se ha tomado.
Claro est que si se aumentan las causas que producen unos efectos, stos
aumentarn indudablemente y en el caso presente tendremos por tanto
aumentada la produccin de la corriente, en la proporcin correspondiente al
nmero de derivaciones y al nmero de carretes de que conste cada grupo.
El modo de recoger esta corriente es tan fcil que hasta parece excusado
explicarlo; pues no tendremos ms que intercalar entre cada par de los
electroimanes N y S, que llamaremos inductores otro electroimn que
denominaremos inducido, de tal modo debidamente colocado que, o bien los

podr ser suficiente para el gasto de excitacin continua de la mquina,
quedando completamente libre toda la otra corriente producida por los
primeros inducidos para dedicarla a toda clase de fines que se desee.
Como lo mismo los inductores que los inducidos no hay necesidad de que
giren no precisa por tanto hacerlos redondos sin que esto signifique que no

de que as tengan lugar.
Sin pasar adelante, tenemos que hacer constar que para la rotacin del eje,

reducidas dimensiones, las ms precisas para hacer girar una sencilla

Just sixty years ago the only method known to produce electricity was by the
use of batteries. The dynamo came to allow the use of the thousand different
applications of its produced current.
The horizon opened by this machine seemed infinite, but some time ago
appeared a desideratum, which is the removal of the motor and the direct
production of electricity without any transformation.
The day this will be achieved, the electrical industry will enter a new era of
progress and splendour that will ensure its number one and the most important
among all industries, since all of them will use as an irreplaceable basis, that
one in charge for producing the electrical current sent to light our homes and
streets, heating to our homes and force for traction on land and at sea as well
as for large and small industries and for our many other needs and tasks.
For a long time now, sages and inventors have searched to find the means of
producing electricity, without the series of transformations that make it so
expensive.
It seems at first glance that the dynamo is without flaws, but bear in mind that
from the detailed study of the interactions between current and between
current and magnets, Lenz deduced the following law, which is stated in
renowned Electrotechnical treatises, in this or similar terms as follows: "in a
closed circuit moving in a magnetic field, the sign of the induced current is
such that its action opposes the motion".
The exact fulfilment of this law is the reason for the Dynamo machine to spend
a force as enormous as indispensable in order to overcome a brake of such
colossal strength, which if not existent would make the other unnecessary.
The sole fact of mentioning the idea of the dynamo not being a transformer
raises the question: if the generator is not a transformer, where does the
electricity that it produces come from?
For that we must go back to the Ideal Dynamo, which consists of a single wire
turn, rotating and cutting the force lines of the Earth'
s magnetic field.
In this magnetic field, a current is produced in a closed circuit rotating inside it.
As this field is very extensive, we can rotate within it several hoops, in each of
which a current of different voltage and intensity will be produced. Joining all
of these proposed hoops, causes the current intensities to be added and we
can replace the set of hoops with a single hoop which has a mass and surface
area equal to the sum of the masses and surface areas of the beforementioned hoops.
This reasoning clearly explains that a dynamo which absorbs one ampere to
feed its inductors, give three hundred amperes in the armature. Repeating the
above, suppose that several independent turns of thin wire are rotating within
the magnetic field of a dynamo, each giving certain intensity. The sum of
these intensities would be equal to what would be given by one turn having a
magnetic section equal to the sum of the sections of the various turns of thin
wire.
given: If within a magnetic field and in the plane of the magnetic meridian,
several turns, are placed and made to spin, a current of weak voltage will be
created within each turn, that will be added to all the voltages of the other turns
when placed one after the other.
Using such simple reasoning makes it very easy to explain that a machine
which absorbs one amp at 100 volts, that is, one hundred watts, produces
twenty thousand watts in the induced and to explain this fact, it does not occur
to us to even mention the presumed transformation of mechanical work into
electricity.
Naturally, passing from the ideal dynamo to a practical dynamo machine, it will
not be possible in its limited, magnetic field to spin as large a number of wire
turns as it is possible to do in the Earth'
s magnetic field, which is extremely
extensive, from which follows that the power of the generator is limited, not
only by the intensity of the magnetic field produced by the electromagnets, but
also by the area of its own field.
In the practical dynamo, exactly the same happens. As long as the electric
field doesnt change, and the rotation of the armature, is constant, there
always be current production and if it would not have to overcome powerful
drag forces, that is, strictly fulfilling the Lenz Law, it would produce a current
greater than the input and It would therefore be possible to take part of this
current, and use it to excite the inductors, thus constituting the self-exciting
dynamo.
And since the law says that there is production of current in a closed circuit,
provided that you modify in any way, the flow of force that go through it.
There are two different ways to modify the intensity of such a flow. One is by
varying the distances between the induced and the inductor circuits. All
machines magneto or dynamo electric from the Clarke one to the most
advanced, are according to this principle and all have the defect of Lenz-law
as stated above, as in them, there is extremely strong attractions or drag to
armature rotation, which must be overcome
The other way of achieving the same result, is to vary the intensity of the
magnetic field formed by the electromagnets.
And this procedure has the advantage that, not having to overcome any drag,
the Lenz'
s law does not apply and therefore does not need any mechanical
force to overcome this drag and explains so well the production of electrical
energy greater that the inducing one, thus becoming this way a self-exciting
generatrix
It is then settled, that the dynamo is not transforming mechanical work into
electricity; so where does the power which it produces come from?
The
The magnetic field produces electrical waves that act on the armature
windings, directs them and makes them able to produce the effects of current,
and as long as the causes will remain, the effects will be produced exactly and
at identical conditions and until an unlimited period.
The orientation taken by the induced molecules, that is, the work done within
its mass or around it, is as unknown to us , as the work experienced by the
molecules of a piece of iron magnetized by the current flowing through the wire
of a solenoid.
We only see the externalized effects. Those which take place within the mass
of bodies develop in places where neither our senses nor our intelligence has
penetrated. In all the molecular actions the same happens to us.
Near eighty years ago the phenomena of induction was discovered and no one
since then, has been able to find the true working way of the cause which
produces it. Induction is used in the industry with large and positive results but
the methods used are empirical, like using a drug which effects are known, not
caring to find out why and how these results are obtained.
Modern industry often disregards the bottom of things, because it is enough for
the moment to know the effects and to apply them effectively to its needs.
Never as now, it may be said: "Give me the manufactured article and dont tell
me the way how it was done"
Seeing a dynamo working, it has been flippantly said: force is needed, so the
force is converted into electricity.
Science has since found the relationship between them, has subjected it to
calculation, and has settled as indisputable principle that to produce so much
electricity it is needed the use of so much force, not realising that if that is true,
as it is when it comes to produce electricity with current dynamos, it could not
be when electricity is produced by unknown means, in which mechanical
strength and chemical reactions are unnecessary, that is, when electric current
is produced directly without going through transformations of any kind.
In portable tubes, or acoustic telegraphs, the sound waves that are formed in
front of the speakers mouth, are forced to lose their spherical shape tripping
through the inside of a scantly vibrating tube, and naturally, the sphere of
waves that would reach a certain volume, has to convert to a cylinder that,
having to keep the same volume that the sphere would have, needs to achieve
a much greater length than the radius of that sphere; Thus with the portable
tube the sound is heard greater from afar, that is heard inside the tube. In the
transmission of electric energy, a similar if not the same thing happens to what
would happen in our example of the tube, if its walls were free to vibrate
unrestrained. Electricity follows the path of the wire, as it travels in elongated
non-spherical waves, producing effects lost or diluted in the atmosphere, if not
found a closed circuit to ease their way and make usable its effects.
We have said before that our generators electricity comes from atmospheric
electricity, held in the most suitable elements, and it is needed now to give
some explanations to this sensitive issue.
The existence of electricity in the atmospheric layer that surrounds our globe is
absolutely undeniable, and its existence according to ancient theories is
attributed to the evaporation of water vapour and air friction and also may be
attributed almost wholly, according to modern theories, to the great electromagnetic currents and numerous emanations components of the mysterious
fluid thrown by the great star over our small planet. A small portion of those
currents and emanations remain condensed or accumulated in our magnetic
surrounding, and the rest is impregnating up to the last atom of our terrestrial
mass.
The Sun is at this stage an all-important factor, which well take care of
specifically, although,
succinctly
The Sun is the centre of our planetary system and we receive from it great
benefits as light and heat. Thus it is an electrical generator of unequalled
power since it condenses in huge amount the referred elements of light and
heat, producing base of the electric energy.
All the palpitations of the celestial body we live in, our environment are under
the suns influence, to which earth owes light, movement and life on its
surface.
The magnetic envelope of the Earth, whose position and energy elements we
begin to know, is a major enigma suspected at the time of observing the
disturbances periodically affecting our electro-magnetic devices and has been
found true, to attribute those beats to some solar energy indication.
It has been said, that the Earth is a giant magnet whose external
manifestations are represented by the movement from east to west, around its
pole axle, which differs noticeably from the geographic pole.
If there are so many visible consequences derivative from the Earth rotation on
its axis, what happens with the invisible magnetic system, that rotates under its
laws and apparently independent of them? The Sun and the Earth, that is, the
inductor and the induced, and lastly the interesting work of the electromagnetic observatories whose results tend to assert increasingly, the
predominant action of electric radiation on the Earth'
s mass. But this arsenal
of knowledge they represent, relates to the abundant source of energy which is
produced under that vast ocean of continuous boiling fire.
If we accept a relative but constant activity within the Earth,. . what vast eddies
of various energy should be developed in this furnace, which high temperature
is difficult to calculate, so swollen with multiple elements, judging by signs that
has so far revealed the spectrum ?. . And comparing volumes, what will we
deduce?. The Sun being one million three hundred and ten thousand and
sixty-two times larger than the Earth, what will we deduce?
The logic thus leads us to believe that large palpitations of the Sun, which
governs the entire planetary system, must necessarily impact on Earth,
perhaps serving our magnetic envelope as a conductive bridge, penetrating in
torrents to move up to the last terrestrial atom.
I addition, the Sun has a powerful influence on Earth by means of its electrons,
because when they collide with other bodies, they detach from the last another
electrons, but when they collide gaseous substances they ionise them, that is,
they become electricity conductors. So the electrons arriving from the Sun to
the upper layers and therefore most rarefied of our planet, they ionise the air,
making the air a conductor of that electricity they carry, and as electrical
currents originate magnetic fields, electrons circulating in interplanetary space
create, as said by Deslandres, a magnetic field in every point of space. And it
is logical to think that other celestial bodies can have on Earth a similar
influence, albeit much smaller, for example Jupiter, which not long ago were
discovered to have some similar aspects to the Sun.
Considering what has just been said, it is not as poetic as it seems, to believe
in the existence of such unknown forces. We may invoke the use of wireless
telegraphy and in particular the transmission of electric energy at a distance,
which is today the subject of our admiration. If the man gets to send electromotive force without using a conductor, what will do on this small planet the
electric generator Sun, of unequalled power?
We will see how the Sun launches on the Earth a huge flow of electrical
potential that some day humanity will use for all sorts of purposes and who
knows if the fluids produced by our combinations is none other than the
accumulated of solar origin, withheld for a long time, by the most capable
elements.
Another procedure similar and better than the previous, will be used for the
rest of the description of the device, and it consist in sending the current via a
revolving shaft in whose extreme end is set a brush, which in turn is in contact
with the commutator bars (isolated from each other and of a fixed number) of a
copper cylinder and according to resistance, so that the brush is always in
contact with two of the commutator bars and in a way that when the brush is
connected to the first commutator segment, all the current flows to the
electromagnets N, and nothing to the S. When it is in contact with the second
segment, not all of the current goes to the N, but some flows to the S and that
continues progressively all the way around until the first half of the
circumference segments are reached, and the second half segments
(connected to the previous) starts to work
It must be borne in mind that only the commutator segments of the Northern
semi-circle are in communication (direct contact) with half of the ends of the
parts of the resistor, . . . and those of the semi-circumference South do not
communicate with the resistor, but respectively with the commutator segments
of the semi-circle in contact with half of the ends of the loops of the resistor.
.and further more as the current passes to the magnetic field and returns of the
same by the two ends of input and output resistor . . . .and as this field is made
up of two series of N and S electro-magnets, it is that by virtue of the above
and by the way of operation of the device, that when the electro-magnet N, are
full of power, the S, are empty. . . and as the stream that crosses them is
decreasing or increasing in intensity, according to the intervening greater or
fewer turns of the resistor, and therefore in continuous variation since that
function has managed to make it continuous and orderly,. . . . in virtue of the
explained procedure we have achieved the constant change of the intensity of
the current that flows through the magnetic field formed by the electro-magnet
N, and S, and whose current, once his mission accomplished in the different
electro-magnets gets back to the source from which it was taken.
It is now observed, that the group of inductors may be arranged in two different
ways: 1. Being formed by two series of electro-magnets N and S. 2. By
several groups of electro-magnets reached by the current in parallel (and
individually) to each group, with equal intensity and with the same constant
and orderly change of the same and the reels being disposed within each
group as in the previous and first case.
The advantages of this second procedure are marked and noticeable, because
with just one of the many derivations that can be taken from the same line, a
group equal to the previous and first case may be supplied and even as many
groups of inductors, according to the force that you want to develop.
Of course, if you increase the causes that produce some effects, the last will
undoubtedly increase, and in the present case we have therefore increased
the production of current, in the proportion corresponding to the number of
derivations and the number of reels of each group.
These results we already know, that is, the birth, thanks to the stated cause, of
great electric energy, greatest than the one which produces it, since Lenz'
s
law does not apply here and there is therefore none drag to overcome.
However, as the cause exists thanks to our system, as long the cause
linger,the results will endure thus producing an electric current greater than the
inducing one.
The method of collecting this current is so easy that it even seems superfluous
to explain it; because we will have to place in between each pair of electromagnets N and S, (which we will call inductors) one electro-magnet which we
will call induced, thereby properly positioned so that either the two ends of its
core get deep into the sinus of the corresponding inductors and in contact with
their respective cores, or bringing close inductor and induced and in contact at
the poles, but in no case is there any communication between the induced coil
and the inductor coil, and we will collect from these induced the resulting
phenomena experienced from those inductors.
If you want even higher production, it is possible to place the inductors and
induced one after the other to form a single series in the following way: an
electro-inductor N, then an inductor S of the
With this we will have succeeded in using the two poles of all inductors except
the first and the last of which only one will be used and we will have therefore
as many inductors as induced less one, that is, if m is for example, the number
of inductors then m-1 will be the number of induced which for any given input
will produce a considerable increase in the production of the induced current.
Besides you can also take advantage of the sinus of the induced electromagnet cores in which you can place another electro-induced of small size and
with equal or greater length than the core of the largest induced. In these
second induced, electric and industrial current will be produced at the same
time than in the first ones; and the current in such way produced, will be
enough for the continuous excitation of the machine (device), remaining the
other current produced by the first induced, free to be used for any purpose as
wished.
Since the inducers as well as the inductors dont have to spin, there is no need
for them to be made round
As there is not in our machine, any drag to overcome, it doesnt need the
colossal force as needed in the Dynamo to overcome such drags and this
explains (as a powerful reason) that the current produced by our machine is a
lot greater than the inducing one. It is sated, that the produced current will be
alternate current but a simple commutator will change it to direct current if
desired.
Without going forward, we need to note that for the rotation of the shaft, in
which the brush is placed (inserted), to which we referred above, does require
a very small force, since its dimensions are very small, just the required for the
brush rotation because it does not have to overcome drag of any kind.
We have settled, that the produced current is vastly greater than the inducing
current, and that said, indeed is very easy to separate from this current which
we call induced, a proportional amount to feed the inductor electro-magnets,
for them to continue doing their work, and a tiny current to drive the shaft with
the brush before-mentioned and even doing that there will still be a large
excess of force that we can apply for all kinds of purposes and the machine
will run indefinitely.
Here, then, the machine that has been explained, is not only self-excited, but
also a true generator of power, at no cost and for an unlimited period of time..
This invention, reason for the present report, comes to get out the industry
producing large amounts of currents, of its standstill present state.
Producing electricity directly without the need for a motor, steam engines and
turbines used in force production will be abolished; the fuel in fire machines will
be abolished, and therefore current production costs will be greatly lowered.
73- Trams power stations will disappear once carriages are converted in true
automobiles over rails, as every vehicle will carry on itself the the machine
producing the current that the vehicle requires. Power stations, trolleys and
those expensive copper conductors, which run along the paths of our trams
will disappear. The advantages of the abolition of coal are so great, that we
may be excused for pointing out a few considerations about the importance of
this invention with regard to this point. And as for the industry in general the
benefits are even more obvious and more important, it suffices to look at just
the advantages which would be brought abut by the unlimited range of ships,
locomotives and cars.
Since any of the principles of our invention is not new, we do not intend
privileging it, but what we favour is the application and use of those principles,
so that the whole machine or apparatus founded according to any of the above
and explained principles and theories, which have served as reason and basis
for our invention, and whatever the form and manner of construction and
implementation to fall squarely within our patent.
NOTE
conductor than the atmosphere where they have been produced, take the
easier path but still being waves, but deforming and stretching in the direction
of the conductor, but without confining its travel to the mass and surface of the
proposed conductor but living out of it, they also act on other conductors which
are at more or less small distances away, actions that are lost or diluted in the
atmosphere if not found a closed circuit to retain them making useful
effects.
its
And this way is well explained and demonstrated the NEW SYSTEM OF
ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION called '
BUFORN'
.
It is necessary now to note that that we do not favour any particular machine or
apparatus, but all the new SYSTEM OF ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION called
'
BUFORN'
., and so any machine or device that is constructed or implemented,
according to the above explained system and whatever the form, method,
manner or material to its construction and application, falls squarely within our
patent.
For example as there are several different machines or devices that can be
built about our BUFORN ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION SYSTEM in which it
may be implemented, we quote the following, that consists essentially of: A
cylinder with isolated copper bars which are in constant contact with a rotating
brush which is always connecting to two of the bars and whose brush is
attached to the end of a shaft by which the current reaches the cylinder bars,
bars which in turn are connected with the turns of a resistor that performs the
job of current distributor; the ends of this resistor linked respectively with the
ends of a magnetic field being constituted by two sets of electro-magnets N
and S, and in such a way that when the brush is in contact with the first bar, all
current goes to the electro N, and nothing to S; when connecting to second bar
of the all the current no longer goes to the N, but instead some goes to S,
because it has to overcome less resistance than in the previous case and so
on, closing the circuit with each of the bars until the completion of the first
semi-circumference, start functioning the bars of the other semi-circumference
which are connected to the first respectively.
As has been said, the ends of the resistor are in respective contact with the
ends of a magnetic field constituted by electro-magnets, built in an appropriate
way, and arranged yet in two series of those N and S, yet in diverse groups to
which the current reaches in parallel and separately to each group with all the
intensity and with equal constant and orderly change of the same, and as there
may be taken several (parallel) derivations, current production will be
increased in proportion to the number of derivations taken, and the number of
reels of each group. Between the poles of two electromagnets will be properly
positioned the corresponding induced reel, being able the ends of their core to
be put, yet in the sinus of their corresponding inductors, and in contact with
both cores, yet in contact with both cores, but never having a contact between
the induced coil and the inductor coil. I may be possible, if a greater production
is wanted, to put first an electro inductor N and next an electro inductor S, and
between the poles of both, properly situated, will be placed the corresponding
induced, but now instead of forming groups same as the first, as it has been
here explained, there will be situated another induced, following the last
inductor, that is, the S, and following this one, another induced and so on, until
the positioning of all the inducing electro-magnets from each series N and S.
Well have here take advantage of all the two poles of the inductors except
those of the first and last inductors, from which well use just one, and well
have as many inductors as induced minus one, which will cause, with the
same used amount of force, a great rising in the current production.
Besides, it may be used, if so wanted, the sinus of the electro induced cores,
in where may be situated another induced of smaller dimension and of equal
or greater length as the big inducer, and in this second induced, an industrial
electric current will be produced at the same time as the firsts and that will be
enough for the continuous excitation of the machine.
86- However as the current that goes through the magnetic field, is increasing
or decreasing in intensity, that is, in a continuous variation of the same, by
virtue of the functioning of our device, and according the current passing
through more or less turns of the resistor and as one of the ends of the resistor
is connected to the electromagnets N, and the other end of the resistor is
connected to the electromagnets S, and also as they only communicate in the
turns of the resistor half the bars of the cylinder, and the other half are united
to the firsts, as a result of all this, when the electromagnets of one series are
full of current, the other are empty; Therefore
intensity, the seconds are decreasing and vice versa and therefore we will get
