"I had figured out how to solve the problem of the droopy wings by paying a very nice guy in a plastic shop to form me 4 domes with the horizontal wings at only a cost of 215.00 per. He later didmy inner cones for another 30.00 per. The only advantage of doing this was not only did I not have any more problems with the wings, but you could see what was going on inside which was pretty much nada. It's kind of fun trying to get smoke to go downward into the inner cones after you have forced it up to the top to see how the air is suppose to flow using a lighted cigarette and blowing the smoke between the wings. Of course I was fortunate to find a hacker to do this for me. " Tracy.
" The bottom right shows my cup for my diamond shape pinions scaled down to fit the domes. I was very fortunate in that my friendly Canadian machine shop foreman only charged me 465 dollars for allnine pinions in US currency. I couldn't find an American machineshop to do the work even if it was done in aluminum. I used my cue balls for the shoulder pinions. " Tracy.
" The bottom right was the cover I used for the top. I finished the device only to find some more nada. During this period of time Ihad the good fortune to meet Dan Dial. I had decided to spend thewinter in San Diego bugging Dan LaRochelle for any information he might have on the subject and try my hand at using the Enhancer to help people help themselves. This was done with high expectations of huge donations from those getting better all thetime. However, most of my prospective clients didn't have anymoney, but they used the machines anyway and I was able to sell a few I put together myself from kits I purchased from Dan. I along with Bob Thomas left our machines at his place for him to study and maybe get the damn things to work. I returned the following summer with great expectations on making yet a third hfs after working with David in Ontario. Dan decided it was too much out ofkilter to do anything with and he also informed me that plastic wouldn't work anyway. Dan now has the plastic domes and I havesome of the magnets in my third hfs. This one you already have seen some of the photos of which I have about 150 to date. Don'tworry, I won't be sending you these en masse, but will accommodate anyone on an individual basis. " Tracy.
OtherExperiments ( below )
" This is the last photo of the series. The top photo shows an experiment that I made using the large aluminum cone hung by a string from the ceiling. There are as many magnets as you see onthe table on the bottom inside of the cone. I watch this cone oscillate for a total of 45 minutes one day, just going back and forth.
The setup in the bottom two photos is an attempt to spin two magnets in rejection in opposite directions enclosed in the cones at high speed. The best I did here was burn up one of the ac motors. The TV never blinked once. " Tracy.

Good evening everyone,
This afternoon, I designed a bracket to hold my old time Buickwindshield wiper motor I purchased and attached a 1/2 inch stripof aluminum to serve as the arm. This I attached to the bottom wing and began to oscillate the wing using my battery charger as a power source. The bottom wing oscillates about 1/4 inch and thetop wing slightly less. The center floating magnet oscillates about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, and does not spin. Da fat lady was witness to this and I asked her to go home, a short distance away, and give me a phone check. I have a power transformer located approximately 60 feet from the device and it's estimated to be about 20 to 25 feet above the ground. The phone lines run from this pole to the house and the closest distance to the hfs is approximately 30 feet. Most of the phone interference was towards the direction of these lines and pole. My portable phone was disconnected 6 times with the furthest being about 5 feet and lying in a line towards the pole transformer. This line of sight and closer to the hfs also produced the loudest noise interference and when the noise increased, it continued to do so until the phone disconnected. The only other area of interference noted was below the device towards the edge between the phone lines and the hfs, above the edge of the wing itself which is where the magnets are and the opposite side of the hfs from a direct line towards the power pole. I then hooked up my TV alongside the hfs on a level just above the wings and about 4 feet distance. Without my cable hookup, I can only receive one station and the reception is very poor, but the sound is fine. I noticed considerable interference with the tv, but not the sound. The strongest build up before the phone had disconnected was when I oscillated the top wing by hand while the bottom wing was being oscillated by the motor. When I turned the motor off, all the interference on the phone ceased. The windshield motor has been running for 75 minutes and I intend to leave it running allnight.
Far as I can determine, it will continue to operate barring any breakdown in the attached arm. The last disconnect was when I had the phone close to the skin of the hfs and between the horizontal portion of the wing and floating magnet. The distance at its strongest detected interference was when the phone was within 2inches of the skin and it was like this completely encircling thehfs. This is most interesting because it makes no difference concerning the location of the overhead phone wires or the pole transformer. It remains a constant all the way around the hfs. Ifit is still here by morning and the motor is still operating,then I will devise another design to hooked up the arm to the topwing and try that. I've also taken 5 photos of the arrangement.Will keep you posted. Tracy.

An interestingdevelopment just began. While still oscillating as before withonly the motor, the TV is now resonating with the movement of thewings with both the sound and picture turning itself off and on.I've asked DA fatlady to come over and witness this development.Tracy.

The windshield wipermotor is still working and ever time its arms to the wing touchor move within the connected joints it sparks and sometimes verymuch. This also happens when aluminum touches each other. It doesnot have to be steel. The TV appears to just about had it withonly large flashes showing every time it sparks. No program at all now. I was speaking to Louis on the portable phone earlier and it disconnected on him also when I placed it close to the wings. I've taken two more pictures with flash. It's now 9:02PMPST and will remain up for a while longer. I will also leave themotor running. Tracy.

The tests began at4:50PM and it's now 10:15PM, that's 5 hours and 25 minutes or 325 minutes and the damn thing is still looking like that pink bunny rabbit with the ever ready battery attached to it, It just keeps running and running, but no lift off. I did make another test thinking that it must be grounded somehow to be sparking like itis. I detached the motor from the top of the structure where Ihave it bolted and isolated it from the hfs while it was still running. The sparking continued when ever the aluminum arm touched the frame as it leads to the bottom wing or when the armmoved while loosely attached to the bottom wing. I rebolted it and then ran an alligator clip from the bottom wing and struck the top wing. No spark. When I struck the clip to the frame from the top wing, still no spark. I then attached the clip to the frame on the opposite side and struck the bottom wing, lots of spark, but none from the top wing when I struck it. Each time it sparks no matter where the spark comes from, the TV goes bonker swith lots of large flashing from the screen. This flashing is so ntense,it's like looking down into the tube itself and seeing the rear end of the tube. Getting sleepy so will retire and check on it later. It's still running now. Tracy.
