I was 72 years old when this picture was taken. My life as amateur telescope
maker had come to an end, and my life as a retired person had started five years
before. The 10 “ telescope (picture) in the middle has got it’s permanent place in
my cottage 40 km away on Norways south coast. Here we can experience a
spectacular sight of myriades of stars on a clear, nightly sky in august and
september. In the city Skien where i live , the Milky Way is a seldom sight, due to
the disturbance from all light and pollutions from environment. For me is
astronomy still mighty and facinating, and marvellous pictures from space ,
thanks to the Hubble telescope, still keeps my curiosity and pleasure alive.

My private life
I lost my dear Elin in august 1998. I am 83 years old, living alone in my own
house, together with a beatiful cat . My son Kjell Erik and his wife Ingvil has
settled in Molde, a city about 600 km north of Skien. They have both their
physiotherapy education, partly working in their trade, partly in school-and
health department in Molde.
My three grandchildren Silje(28) Åsa (25) and Erlend (23 ) are still going
through their respective studies at NTNU (Norwegian Technical Nature-
scientific University, NTNU) in the city Trondheim.
We keep in good contact with e-mails and phone calls, and I get visits
from them as often their jobs and studies allow. Their vacations in
summer time is often used to visit our woderful cottage , laying only 100
meters from the seaside, with a magnific view out on the ocean. And it’s
only 40 minutes car driving from my home. Take a look :

For me this involved a lot of pilot plant investigations, including not only
the chinese magnesite, but a lot of other imaginable qualities from other
places, all around the world.
The place for the plant became Becancour, close to the St.Lawrence river.
Due to several unlycky circumstances, such as a duty protection fra USA,
a serious budget overrun occured. Nevertheless, the plant was startet
and produced magnesium metal as anticipated.
Next machine was possibly the turning lathe for metals , getting later a
lot more of applacability when a frequency convertor was installed for
precise control of rotation speed.
I love her !
The (yellow) muons are what I detected . They come in from unlike
directions, giving no identification of incomig cosmic particles direction.
Later on, the interest for radio showed up, but without high tensions, and
not practicing as an radio amateur with home built transmitter.

Fare more fascinating however was what “tesal-saved nerdes” could tell
and show about their big and sofisticated tesla generators, produsing high
frequent, with sparks in the hundred-
thousand volts class. People like Kronjaeger,
Jochen and Stefan-Kluge cuntributed with the
most of it, and had a countless suggestions
on how to calculate, build and optimize their
tesla generators. Warnings and cautions for
fatal acccidents was often mentioned. Many
people believe that due to the high frequenc
the current would only pass the skin of a
human beeing, not giving any harm. The
truth is not so. The high frequence produced
by home made tesla generators will always
have a low frequent component due to the
use of a so called OBIT-transformer (Oil
Burning Ignition Transformer) , giving the wanted “starting voltage “ from
the house mains net.
The capacity for such a condenser will be about 0.8 nF. In my case I
coupled 5 bottles in parallell, and measured the total capacity to be 4.2
nF. Prim is primary coil in the diagram.
A calculation of self inductance for the coils I used will be given here :
The angle α is30 º h= 11.5 cm (4.52”) W= mean.diam = R+½w = (7.5 + 20/2 = 17.5
cm (6.9”) n = 12 windings Calculated self induction (L) in μH (mikrohenry).
f = 103 / 2π sqr ( 55.4 x 4200) = 1000 / 6.28 x 464.6 = 0.343 ): 330 KHz
The vertical coil is the secondary in this system. Its self induction iwas
calculated as shown here :
The toroid at the top was later eplaced by a closed, 12 liters aluminium pot. The
coil has outher diameter of 7.6 cm, height 76 cm and 950 windings. The ratio
between winding height and coil diameter is her 76/7.6 = 10.
In practice only half of the vindings surface is estimate as capacity-giving. The area of a
sphere with the area (5695/2=) 2847 cm2 has a radius of r= sqr ( 2847/ 4π =) 15 cm.
Converted to capacity this will be (15/0.9=) 16.7 pF
Total outher surface was 3234 cm2, which is eqivvalent to a sphere with a radius :
sqr(3234/ 4π =) 16 cm. Converted to capacity this is (16/ 0.9=) 17.8 pF.
f = 103 / 2π sqr ( 6576 x 35.4 ) = 1000 / 6.28 x 482.5 = 0.330 ): 330 KHz
So far was my calculated resonans frequency for prim. and sec. circuits
exactly the same, giving high hopes for optimal results.
Well, I albeit met some trouble. The spark lengt was only 5-6 cm, corresponding
to 50-60 000 volts. I felt there was room
for higher potensials, and planned a more
serious investigation. With good advices and
support from my good friend Ottar, the
following equipment was acquired :
connected to the function generator, the upper to the PC-scope, which in turn
was connected to the computor. Distance between the loops was seemingly not
critical. The frequency was gradually endered/increased, and the amplitude I
registered on the screen gave a fine view of the signal. When a resonans
occured, an increased amplitud could clearly be seen.
The resonans frequency i found here was measured to be 328 KHz , in very
good harmony to my previous calculations. I got sparks about 16 cm length,
i.e. about 160 000 volts.
Raising the mains voltage from 230 to 250 volte gave a spark lengt of 18 cm,
corresponding to 180 000 volts.
The picture shows how my Tesla generator looks today in activity. Not so very
impressive, but I promise you, the spark is highly dangerous to touch. It spark
has a sharp, hissing sound, and the smoke detector is affected, making
additional noise in my basement.
Perhaps it could be funny to enlarge to higher tensions and getting more “show”
out of it, but my basement headrom is only 210 cm. No place for such
adventures for me.
Tesla-nerds in USA use big garages and halls to try out their large vonders, and
find it very amusing taking pictures beeing in the midst of their impressive
sparks . But such pictures are of course double-exposured !
Take a look at the diagram given, the Stirling motor principle is quite
simple ,isn’ it ?

Antigravity in my basement
“When trying to affect the spinning, the axis of a gyroscope will make a
movement perpendicular to the moment , trying to get it’s own spinning
axis parallell to the moment “ This cleared up everything, didn’t it ?
Give me two such wheels, one for each arm, and let me turn around my
own axis, both arms outstanding. Either I will feeel a lift of my body, or
feel my body beeing pressed down, dependent on the way of rotation.
Standing on a short, motor rotated bench with a steady foothold, and
correct turning direction for wheels and myself, I should feel a lifting force
upon my body ! And what if I let a rack take over my place, and put in
three motors for wheels and rack rotation ?
Could such a system rise from the floor ? Yes. it had to, no question !
This impossible trick, lifting oneself up in the hair was within rich, and the
physical laws for gravity had to be justified. The feeling of this possibility
gave me a feeling of both delight and freight. What to do next ?
Shortly after i read in New Scientist 20. oct. 1990 under the section
Review, with the title : Gyroscopes remain
the strangest of attractors, and a newly
published book Beyond 2001, The law of
physics revolutionized,
written by an englishman, Sandy Kidd.
immediately ordered this book, waiting
impatient for the book to come. With
shivering hands i opened it and started
reading.

Kidd describes how he got his idea, building a machine to develop gravity
forces, able to lift itself up in the air. His book had no drawings or pictures
of his invention. The only thing to observe was on the cover of this book,
shown here.
I startet the wheels, got them spinning with moderate shaking. Lifting
forces were still lying in wait. So motor C was gently started, continiously
viewing my bathroom scales. The machinery began shaking, and the
reading on scales became more and more blurred. The vertical axis
speed increased, and gradually I felt that a formidable crasch might occur
at any moment. The scales was impossible to read off, due to the
21
vibrations. Of cours I colud let the whole ting go on to the bitter end, and
experienced a horrible and complete crash, but instead I resignated and
stopped the show.
Later on I have done some philosophy around these events. For the first:
Kidd wrote about it : “ the device gave a final, excrutiating howl and
glided upwards until it howered three inches above the worktop”
He writed later the following : “perhaps it had someting with harmonic
resonans in the system to do “.
My little philosophy : Only a spinning giro can show us the right way to
go, regardless to its surroundings. . They never mistakes in their strange
co-operation with inner structure of the universe, because their forces are
part of it.
