I just wanted to start this thread to have a place to discuss Walter Russells dynamo and how it could work. There are very few details strewn throughout the internet and a few pictures that I have gathered information from. Along with reading his home study course and all the other books I am getting a bigger and bigger picture of the way he said he designed it.
I took one of the drawings and made a sketchup file. I took the outline of the oblated sperical rotor from the bottom, and copied the outline. then used the magic of sketchup to make it 3D. Keep in mind that I do not quite understand if the two opposing spirals above the rotor on the drawing are what the actual rotor looks like or if the spirals are just a representation of some flow in the two sides. But going with the description of it being a sphere with an oblate equator that is tilted from its rotational axis...what i came up with looks right to me.
Once i had it designed...knowing that magnetism always tries to find the center of the mass its flowing through I drew a line from center point to center point of all of the circles that successivly make up the rotor. Because of the oblated design the magnetism forms a sort of wave as seen in the wireframe snapshot. If I then copy that "wave" or magnetic path and rotate it around the axis the rotor would rotate it forms the shape of a vortex...just as he says.
