Magic Square Technology applied for three phase seriesed coil segments yielding balanced currents to create torsional fields on three phase and time distortion effects on perimeters. Three diagonal progressions of phases wrapping around each other in 3d model produces torsional time effects on perimeters of poles.
(google 666 machine) uses 3 phase to mimic 6 phase by employing wiring reversal of the central of three series segments of coils that consists of nine coils; three coils in series per phase with three tri-segment pathways twisting around each other. Modeled after the first magic square of nine no.s having balanced sums that when topologically curved in 3d space to show connection to opposite edges shows three diagonals curving around each other in 3d space. Likewise it is only this segmented 3d circular diagonal pathways that yields balance of 3 phase currents in mutual induction (excepting that of a circular toroidal geometry) when 9 adjacent coils in tri-fold series are forced into mutual induction.
This 3 phase balance of reactive currents by mutual induction being a "magic" arrangement whereas every other combination will be unbalanced is NOT magnetically symmetrical as it is in single phase mutual inductance laws. In that arrangement the amount of current lost in paralleled magnetic unity= amount of current gained in paralleled magnetic opposition. The mutual induction effects BETWEEN phasings will also be opposite to that found in single phaseIn 3 phase the phases will be attractive(opposite polarities) between them 2/3 of the time period, and repulsive 1/3 of the total time period. While using two spiralled coils having the highest mutual inductance between them to become attractive while powered by a single phase, the inductance of each goes up and less current results. For two of three phases in mutual inductance in 3 phase the current instead goes up and the inductance goes down.
By reversing the polarity by wiring on each center element of the three stacks in the circular stacking, the three center elements representing all three phases will be one sixth of a cycle off from both the phases above and below it; repelling those magnetic fields outwards into their opposite polar areas for 5/6ths of the cycle, and only attracting them on one side only for 1/6ths of the cycle. The inductance will have gone up by having mutual inductance between phasings, increasing the Q.
For spirals having the highest mutual inductance between phasings the impedance rises 30% from that measured exclusively as a solitary phase. We have 6 magnetic interior repulsions @ 1/6ths of a cycle, shoving the magnetic fields outwards from 6 polar exits on the assembly, that when series resonated we call a 666 machine. We now will need 3d vectors representing the voltages in time to explain the machines operation.
The 666 machine, a special torsional device that can either expand or compress the time periods acting between the three phases of a three phase power source. This utilyses a higher dimensional vector expressed in the 3D space, whereas the vectors of ordinary three phase machines will show their resultant voltages plotted as vectors in time as a 2D flat diagram. 3 dimensional representation of voltage vectors in time are necessary to show the results of the 666 machine's operation. If we try to represent them in the conventional manner employed with a 2D vector diagram; we wind up with the quandary of a 3rd resultant vector solution appearing to exist as two different vectors on that 2D vector diagram. By cutting out the piece of pie between these two vector solutions: and then folding the entire diagram into a 3D cone shape by connecting the two solutions into a single solution; we now have a 3D vector system to show the actions of the machine by its plotted vectors. This vector translation becomes necessary to describe a machine whereby the normal 360 degrees of separation in time are compressed to an amount shown by the (missing) portion of time cut out of the 2D diagram as a pie shape into a 3D cone shape; in order to make all the quantities "fit" together as a coherent vector solution showing the actions of the machine. A space-time "curvature" will now exist between resonant voltage rises of all three phases involved as inputs. From our perspective however the full 360 degrees of a time circle will no longer exist on the resonated outputs. This measurement is the most important measurement ever made regarding relativity, besides that of the eclipse of the sun verifying Einstein's concepts. It furthermore shows that it is not necessary to make astronomical measurements to show the principles involved with relativity, and that machines exhibiting a "localized" time space curvature are indeed possible.
We have classified the 666 machine as a nine coil system using six polar
reaction areas, given six options for polarity, where all the options are set at
one sixth of a cycle, hence it produces the effects that a six phase system
could deliver. Ordinarily we would not suppose that a six phase system can
accomplish effects that a strict interpretation of the three phase system could not itself accomplish if instead the cycle separation time at the polar interaction areas were instead set at one third of a cycle or 120 degrees...,
however this is untrue in light of the fact that the three phase system can not
produce Lenz Law effects by mutual induction between phasings whereby that voltage component with relation to the phasal line connections and phase
rotation will always arrive BEHIND that rotation, or be lagging it. Instead the
666 machine allows that component to arrive AHEAD of the phase rotation.
By polarity reversal of the central coil segment; this will exhibit lenz law effects from a source only 60 degrees out of phase, whereas the induced voltage law works at 90 degrees so that extra source of emf arrives 30 degrees ahead in time of the actual phase rotation, yielding a vector summation with the source emf at 15 degrees ahead of the phase rotation. Cycle after cycle it keeps arriving 15 degrees ahead of the phase rotation until after 12 cycles it completely opposes the source voltage
The next 12 cycles it gradually aids the source emf so that the extra rotating vector source of emf is seen as an extra cycle every 24 cycles. Ordinarily this only causes a periodic cyclic voltage effect on the phase itself. However when two (tuned) high induction coils are slightly elevated above two polar areas of the 666 machine the vibration of the source(s) can be transferred fully to the secondary so as to cause the rotating counter emf to fully oppose the source emf at a point in the entire cycle. The momentary appearance of secondary energy having no primary source is a result of this process. This is also consequential of a third magnetic reaction occuring between the two adjacent tuned secondaries themselves.

666 Coil System Voltage Outputs

An average 13 some volts is internally made by resonant rise of voltage,(Vi) from the lowest possible input of ~1 volt stator obtained in unenergized field.
On (1-2) 25.2 volts is obtained between 1Vi= 13.9 volts and 2vi= 13.2 volts. The phase angle by the law of cos is the sum of the squares of the component vi values minus the square of the interphasal voltage/ all divided by twice the multiplication of the component vi values; which then gives the cos of the phase angle. To find the actual phase angle we take the inverse cos function and multiply by 360 degrees/2pi radians.[13.9^2+13.2^2-25.2^2]/(2*13.9*13.2) =-.729 ;cos^-1 (-.729)*(360/6.28)= 136.9 degrees. For (1-3) we find cos^-1(-.719) yields a 136 degree phase angle. Finally (2-3) yields cos^-1=-.485 equating to 119.1 degrees. "Extra time has appeared on both (1-2) and(1-3) voltage differences in time, with a total phase angle difference of 392 degrees;~10% extra time. Coincidentally the 666 machine achieves 10% increase in inductive reactance by aquisition of mutual inductance by using 6 polar interaction zones interacted at 1/6th a cycle for a 6
phase effect; where employment of a 3 phase effect in these magnetic interactions between phasings will always yield the stronger opposite effect of instead decreasing the inductive reactance, and thus the possible q factor determined by X(L)/R should be diminished for the 3 phase example employing mutual inductance between phasings.
Because of the fact that only a 10% time distortion occured in that example, where apparently it was a time "expansion" rather then a time "contraction", I decided that evidence was not conclusive enough to show the community that time distortion itself was going on. So the entire system was rebuilt using pancake coils of maximum mutual inductance between phasings..

666 pancake spiral system using Radio Shack MegaCable speaker wire spools. To gain a concept of what distortion of time means in a practical sense we can make a vector drawing of all three internal voltage rises (approximation of those drawn vectors shown near beginning of video) where these vectors start from a common point. To find the acting phase angles between each voltage rise we then measure the difference of voltages BETWEEN each voltage rise. If no time distortion is taking place, the delta V(i) quantities will form the outside voltage quantities as a triangle around the three inner vectors as rays having a common origin point as shown in the drawing. Stopping the video at 7:55 and applying the law of cosines we find the V(i) voltages between (1-2) indicates a 118 degree phase angle and (2-3) shows 126.4 degrees, but (1-3) shows only 15.6 degrees. About 100 degrees are missing in the time circle, so the flat diagram will not suffice to show that
aspect. But if we instead cut a 100 degree piece of pie out of the vector diagram; and fold the diagram into a cone to account for the missing time portion, then the outer voltage differences will be in correct measurement as periphery measurements, but now they will be curved and 2D flat plane vectors cannot be used, instead 3D vectors must be employed: thus this is the easiest analogy to explain the issuance of the curvature of space time caused by torsional or twisting magnetic fields caused by the circular placement of the coil segments in series and interacted to the fullest degree of mutual inductance between those phases themselves separated by time.

Pizza crust from Whole Foods. I have been using a pizza stone for some time. There was a Martha Stewart episode where she was making pizzas with Jennifer Garner that had the best procedure for working with stones: Turn the over to maximum temperature (Broil) and let the oven and stone get up to temperature (at least one hour). From my experience, a crust with good window paining will cook on a properly heated stone in five minutes or less. Anytime over that and you have smoke and burning. A burnt pizza is not a completely bad thing because it adds character to the stone. Here, the pizza was done in four minutes. Ideally you would want to use less sauce and cut the mozzarella to a different thickness. But this works for the too my taste for the ingredients I am using.
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum of length 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb)
Komodo dragons are carnivores. Although they eat mostly carrion, they will also ambush live prey with a stealthy approach. When suitable prey arrives near a dragon's ambush site, it will suddenly charge at the animal and go for the underside or the throat. It is able to locate its prey using its keen sense of smell, which can locate a dead or dying animal from a range of up to 9.5 km (6 miles). Komodo dragons have been observed knocking down large pigs and deer with their strong tail.
Komodo dragons eat by tearing large chunks of flesh and swallowing them whole while holding the carcass down with their forelegs. For smaller prey up to the size of a goat, their loosely articulated jaws, flexible skull, and expandable stomach allow it to swallow its prey whole. The vegetable contents of the stomach and intestines are typically avoided. Copious amounts of red saliva that the Komodo dragons produce help to lubricate the food, but swallowing is still a long process (15–20 minutes to swallow a goat). A Komodo dragon may attempt to speed up the process by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully that the tree is knocked down. To prevent itself from suffocating while swallowing, it breathes using a small tube under the tongue that connects to the lungs. After eating up to 80 percent of its body weight in one meal, it drags itself to a sunny location to speed digestion, as the food could rot and poison the dragon if left undigested for too long. Because of their slow metabolism, large dragons can survive on as little as 12 meals a year.

"The 12Cilindri’s 830 cv power output – with maximum revs rising to 9500 rpm – and sophisticated electronic controls seem to point to a watershed with respect to the Gran Turismo cars of the 1950s and ’60s from which it takes its inspiration, but the symphony produced by each of its 12 cylinders leaves no doubt. A car really can be high-tech while offering raw thrills at the same time. Sportiness, class and elegance encapsulate the three souls which come alive in the Ferrari 12Cilindri. Behind its simple and harmonious lines, the new car conceals innovative features such as active aerodynamics – with two distinct elements clearly influenced by aeronautical design – an 8-speed DCT gearbox, independent four-wheel steering and advanced electronics including systems such as aspirated torque shaping, ABS Evo and Side Slip Control 8.0..."

NEOBALLS / ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@4205) - Starcraft II's Massive Thor
This is my most complex and largest build to date.
It was designed in parts: Cockpit body, then legs, then arms, then rear guns. Then I had to redesign parts when it came time to assemble it together because of incorrect bonding assumptions and misalignment of magnet fields.
Experimented with x-beam coupled bonds to get the maximum lateral strength with reinforcements on the sides. This proved to be very string. Created a X-Beam using similar methods producing a very strong leg structure. It was capable of support the entire weight of the cockpit body w/o a problem. Had to redesign the leg to cockpit body mount point from the earlier concept because the bond was not completely coupled.
Next up were the arm/guns ... the weight was too much for the cockpit body to support so I fashioned a pair of lego-platforms for them to rest on and take the weight off of the central body.
Finally ... the rear guns ... these were a challenge in that their original mount point design had to be reworked also to make them fit correctly into the rear of the cockpit body. I changed the mount points on the guns to fit the space on both sides and added a few support balls to improve the mount point bonds. I was very surprised how they were balanced and supported only by two point sections to the body. The guns stayed in place for a small series of photos.
The design flaw was in the side bonds of the beam to the legs. The coupled field held nicely for a short amount of time and would have held if it didn't have the weight of the rear guns to support. When they were standing upright and straight, all was good. As soon as I attempted to move the platform forward (to take a video), the rear guns tilted slightly backwards and and that was the end of the leg to body support bonds ... and created the dreaded implosion.
The rear gun weight caused the entire central body section to rotate backwards and fall back on the rear guns ... taking the arms in the process. Perhaps I should have created a Lego-support structure for the rear guns to remove the pendulum force backwards ... but that would have created another view blocker like the side Lego-platforms obstructed the view of the legs and feet. Not sure if I can recreate it for a rotational video ... this took over a week (on/off to design and assemble).
Overall ... I was very happy with the result ... hope I captured enough detail to warrant some visual recognition as a Starcraft II Thor reproduction/interpretation.
This was design and built for the Zen Magnets Contest 26: The Massive Thor

On Isola Bella in Lake Maggiore.
A look around the Borromeo Palace and it's amazing gardens.
Isola Bella (lit. 'beautiful island') is one of the Borromean Islands of Lago Maggiore in north Italy. The island is situated in the Borromean Gulf 400 metres from the lakeside town of Stresa. Isola Bella is 320 metres long by 400 metres wide and is divided between the Palace, its Italianate garden, and a small fishing village.
Until 1632 the island—known only as l’isola inferiore or isola di sotto—was a rocky crag occupied by a tiny fishing village: but that year Carlo III of the influential House of Borromeo began the construction of a palazzo dedicated to his wife, Isabella D'Adda, from whom the island takes its name. He entrusted the works to the Milanese Angelo Crivelli, who was also to be responsible for the planning the gardens. The works were interrupted around middle of the century when the Duchy of Milan was struck by a devastating outbreak of the plague.
Construction resumed when the island passed to Carlo’s sons, Cardinal Giberto III (1615–1672) and Vitaliano VI (1620–1690); the latter in particular, with the financial backing of his elder brother, entrusted the completion of the works to the Milanese architect Carlo Fontana and turned the villa into a place of sumptuous parties and theatrical events for the nobility of Europe.
The completion of the gardens, however, was left to his nephew Carlo IV (1657–1734). They were inaugurated in 1671.
The island achieved its highest level of social success during the period of Giberto V Borromeo (1751–1837) when guests included Edward Gibbon, Napoleon and his wife Joséphine de Beauharnais, and Caroline of Brunswick, the Princess of Wales. It is said that Caroline, having fallen in love with the place, did her best to convince the Borromeo family to sell her Isola Madre or the Castelli di Cannero islands; her request being turned down, she established herself on the banks of Lake Como at Cernobbio in the Villa d’Este.

Since its introduction, Dolby Atmos has been embraced by award-winning directors, sound designers and soundtrack mixers, and many recent blockbuster movies feature soundtracks mastered in Dolby Atmos.
Now, Marantz brings the Dolby Atmos experience home, and the AV8802A features outputs that can be configured for 1 or 2 pairs of overhead speakers and/or add-on Dolby Atmos speaker modules.
The Atmos decoder also features upconversion from conventional surround soundtracks to deliver the ultimate three-dimensional experience with your favorite movies and concerts.
Auro-3D upgrade-ready
Auro-3D® is the next generation three-dimensional audio standard. It provides a realistic sound experience unlike anything before. By fully immersing the listener in a cocoon of life-like sound,
Auro-3D® creates the sensation of actually “being there”. Thanks to a unique 'Height' channel configuration, recorded acoustic reflections are reproduced by these speakers and are heard naturally due to the fact that sounds originate from around as well as above the listener.
Once upgraded with the Auro®- Codec Decoder, the AV8802A is capable of decoding the original Auro-3D® mix and playing back an Auro 10.1 channel configuration (including “Voice of God” channel). The Auro-3D® Upgrade can be purchased for EUR 149.
