I have something to show. This changes the operation of the Figuera device Entirely.
It no longer varies input current through resistance, but now acts as a "bypass current switch". The field variations act much cleaner, and now to shrink the magnetic field, we no longer need to Resist the path! it works in reverse where lowering the electromagnet current is accomplished by Lowering resistance through the path!
I don't have all the interactions mapped out yet, so I am hazy on some parts still because this is brand new to me. But a bunch of the old roadblocks now vanish (as I see it).
This small demo uses light bulbs so you can see some of the differences. But when I describe the hookup in more detail, more facts not disclosed yet appear!
Keep in mind, NOTHING CHANGES from the original Figuera setup as we know it. The commutator, resistor rig, etc ALL stay the same. The only thing that changes is how we power it to flip it on it's head. Note- neither Figuera or Burfon specifically show where the source connects. And this changes everything
