The previous occasional success must be considered as due to chance. The mutual influence of the flat coils upon one another could not, on the other hand, easily be examined because despite the great distance between the windings (25 mm) they have remarkably great apparent resistance (about 200 ohms at 10 kc). It appeared that the power factor of both of the flat coils wound 1:1, in consequence of their peculiar interwinding has the astonishingly high value of 0.85. The value of the power factor was at a maximum at 10 kc, at which fre- quency the most favourable matching of the impedance... was obtained. The repeated mention of 10 kc is also found in the scientific lit- erature on the Barkhausen effect. After all his experiments and measurements, Coler offered the following explanation of the way in which the apparatus works: Due to the connecting of the batteries, a current impulse is induced in the anchor circuit which charges the plates. The discharge circuit from the plates causes electrical interruption of short duration of the battery current in the field circuit, which furthermore inductively interrupts, or changes the direction of, the battery current in the direct- ing current for a short time. The electromagnetic field induced by this process in the directing circuit by its dissi- pation, induces over the field circuit a current in the anchor circuit, recharging the plates, and so forth. Due to the influence of the Barkhausen effect, each sin- gle process has an impulse-like character, and the neces- sary change of phase is produced to allow the regularity of the process. Due to a source, up to the present not investigated and not explainable by existing scientific theories, an addition- al quantity of energy is freed during each cycle which leads to a continual raising of the amplitude of the mutual processes until the magnetic cores are saturated. From the fact that in the resistance of the apparatus, pulsed direct current is flowing...[t]here is possibly an up- to-now unknown rectifying effect, or, alternatively, the gain in energy is produced only during one half of the cycle, either during the charging or discharging of the plates. The activity in the apparatus must take place in the ten oscillation circuits in a phase-like manner... No tech- nical means were available to make the necessary tuning adjustments. Figure 6. U 48 - NEXUS It is clear from the above that the success of the inventor up to now could only be due to chance, or happy accident. The necessity, therefore, arises to transfer the apparatus from the state of empirical development, with sufficient technical means and based on results of an exact basic research, to a state of working procedure which can be controlled. Other experiments, conducted by Frohlich with the arrangement in figure 6, convinced Coler that his theory was correct: The result obtained with this experimental arrange- ment...was the clear proof of a considerably larger energy during opening (intake), compared with closing impuls- es... The [10-50%] difference is always in favour of the opening impulse... Consequently, this observation can also be considered as a proof of the fact that an energy dif- ference exists... [There is a] considerable, but extremely short, energy peak of the opening impulse...

It is to be hoped that the Stromzeuger can be redevel- oped, since it is a relatively simple, low-technology device requiring no exotic components. It should not be left "to chance, or happy accident", as it was for Hans Coler. Figure 6.
