Faradays Paradox Revisited BPC
Way back in 1831, Michael Faraday invented the first electrical generator, spinning a conducting disk in a magnetic field. A voltage was generated between rim and axle of the disk. But spinning the MAGNET does NOT produce a voltage. This is "Faraday's paradox" in a nutshell and has stood for over 180 years. But wait -- here I spin a ring magnet and 100% repeatably observe a voltage rise... in an experiment I devised to further test Faraday's paradox... Pls see the video of my little experiment. Note that I replace the conducting disk with a bifilar pancake coil (BPC) wound with coax. Charge from the coil is collected through a Schottky diode on a 47 uF capacitor which held at zero mV for an extended time prior to the experiment.
