In the previous blog I reference Ising, which is a method used by conventional physics to model magnetic material on a nanoscopic scale, which accurately predicts hysteresis. Please see the previous blog post for a link to a popular Ising simulation applet. Lets analyze the Steorn integrated power plot with the Ising applet.

1. As magnet is at top dead center, the coil is turned on, and the current begins to increase. The core permeability is low. This is seen in the Steorn integrated power plot as a sudden rise– see “Ref. A” in the attached image, violet text.

2. Due to the resistance of the circuit, the current reaches maximum, and the power disipation is relatively constant. This is seen in the Steorn power plot at “Ref. B” in the attached image.. In the Ising applet the permeability increases a bit, but this will not show up in the power plot because the coil current is now high, and hence the circuit is mostly resistance at this point.

3. The coil current turns off, and the diode bridge rectifier conducts. The Ising applet shows the permeability is very low as the field begins to decrease. This is shown in the power plot as a rapid downward slop– see “Ref. C“.

4. As the applied field on the toroid core approaches zero (caused by the pickup coil), the Ising applet shows that the permeability begins to significantly increase. This is seen in the power plot as “Ref. D“
