Unknown electrical transformer discovered in Kosovo

a reply to: LordOfDestruction

Great ! I hope he reports back

Blasted into the rock.. Haha i like that.

Besides the copper, this part is interesting to, sure looks like its "molded" into the rock



The embed part reminds me a little of a djed pillar ( Egypt )

Yeah, peculiar looking 'rock'. I think people are onto something saying it's a transformer encased in something that has melted around it.

I guess that the artifact has been made to look as if it were a remnant of a piece of a NAZI Bell aircraft which used spinning mercury as the source for propulsion... the damaged/imbeded coil was part of the system that made the mercury spin...

the object is designed to be as from WW2 advanced technology era of the NAZI's

interesting

I think the give away on this being a HOAX is that the "transformer" is using paper to insulate the wiring. I'm not saying that the ancients didn't have paper, but I don't think that would have wasted it on something like this. Add that to the fact that the paper is still visible and not wasted away over the centuries, and well... HOAX.

Not necessarily a hoax. The guy may just be assuming that it is really old because it is encased in rock. Most people do not understand how this might have formed like this during events over the last hundred years. A binder could have been introduced to the area and caused the rock to form. I wonder if bird poop coupled with dust could create something like that. To be a hoax, there would have to be intent, he knows how it was formed and is not saying. It is a curiosity object and it would be interesting if it got explained.

I do not recognize anything about the transformer or motor itself, I have worked on a lot of electric stuff here and my stepfather used to take apart a lot of things to scrap them. I live in the USA though, things may not be made the same way as they are in that area. It's design does not look familiar to me but may be something someone from that area is aware of.

Wha! I do not see how you came to that assumption, but you surely do give it a great twist!

Now if we could only find the flux capacitor as well !

a reply to: rickymouse

I think the winding itself look a litte like a Toroidal inductor

a reply to: EartOccupant

Looks to me like they used epoxy.

a reply to: dragonridr

Your guess is as good as mine.

It could be an object made to fool people sure. Then everything is off, but i doubt it.

I like and hope a little more mystery

Obviously a coil, man made, toroidal like windings from some form of Variac, maybe. Could have been form crashed aircraft during WWII, maybe.

Now I am forced to review 11 minutes of mystery vid...

Does this crashed craft from WW2 happen to be Bell shaped...

a reply to: EartOccupant

Thanks for the pics, closer screen shots reveal its been smashed, maybe from crashing, the appendage is surely a stem to a variable switch for generating various voltages (or frequencies), could be from a radio, radar or power source for electrical equipment aboard aircraft.

The rock surrounding it is secreted limestone, apparently. Maybe from limestone secretion in caves or coral from underwater reefs.

So I watched the video, and it has female bolt ends made from ferrous metal, and there appears to be braided (fiberglass? nylon?) wire insulation running through part of it. If this was old enough to have the rock form around it while in situ, wouldn't the pressures involved have destroyed the thing beyond recognition?

Here is a portion of the written description in this video (separated into paragraphs because I'm nice):

On the territory of Kosovo in the area of the Shar-Planina mountain ridge (Pechora Gora), a photographer and researcher Ismet Smiley, discovered a mysterious artifact. It is a stone of unusual shape in which an electromagnetic coil is built. And the coil of copper wires is not simply inserted into the cut groove, but it makes up a whole with the stone, as if the stone was melted, and then gave it the necessary shape to create a transformer.

In addition to the stone, the coil with copper wires, the artifact contains an insulator whose composition differs from the surrounding material and having convex bands in a circle resembling a carving and it is also fused into a stone, like the coil itself, and on the other side of the stone, there are 4 Symmetrically located openings, which most likely represent holes for wires and collect energy received from the transformer (phase).

Ismet says that he plans to give this artifact to scientists and there is a high probability that we will never see this artifact again, nor will we read the results of these studies.

Here are some more images from the video:

Geopolymer Hoax?

What if someone wanted to play a trick on us and make us think that we are looking at some OOPArt set in natural stone? What if they just molded some geopolymer around it to have some fund with everyone?

I've been looking into the geopolymer theory behind how the stones for the pyramids, and how many ancient statues and hieroglyphs were created. If you're unfamiliar with geopolymers, it's basically a way of taking crushed or decomposed natural stones and using it as a sort of concrete to recreate the natural stone, with all of its microscopic similarities, but from a liquid, paste, or even more of a damp clay form that dries just like concrete and can be molded and shaped the same way.

Understand, I'm in no way convinced that these geopolymer blocks could withstand the pressure of the pyramid bearing down on them, but I do find that some videos on YouTube that show destroyed or degraded ancient statues and buildings help support this theory. Below are some of the shorter videos that I can find about the topic, but there are much longer, more detailed ones if this piques your interest.


With Charles Kos' videos, he'll make you think, but some of his stuff that he says is odd. Anyhoo, this is a good video if you skip to about the 3:12 mark.


There are many more, but this should get you find the topic interesting. Some that I couldn't locate show images of smashed ancient statues, and how they appear to have a rough-carved stone core with a geopolymer surface into which they carved and molded the details. It's really a fascinating theory to look into. If I come across one of those vids, I'll try to edit this and add it in, because I find that more plausible than the idea that the entirety of the pyramids are made from geopolymer concrete.

That is similar to what I was going to design to get energy from the bark of the tree to power a led light.

Something might have been there and attracted lightning because of electromagnetic energy flowing through the rock and it melted the rock. You would think it would have melted the wires though, a problem I was thinking could cause problems with the trees up here on the hill.

Thanks for the info!

You might find this interesting, But i warn you, its very far out and highly speculative.

Watch at own risk!

a reply to: rickymouse

Unless you use cold electricity, then nothing would melt, just resonate!

a reply to: SlapMonkey

Looking at these pictures, it appears I have seen something similar. A motor encased in a porcelain case, they were used sometimes on farms in things like fridges or milking equipment or something. I have seen one in pieces, it was way smaller than this though. But it could be remnants of one of those. They were supposedly quite and low vibration. My stepfather had one of those in his scrap, he smashed it and took apart the armature.

The one picture helped me to see this, I can't say what this is from though, It probably comes from around the fifties, special application equipment.

Why Bell shaped? Instrumentation aboard WWII (or any) aircraft were filled with various step up or step down transformers, some were round to vary voltages and currents for specific applications like communications and radar.

Man made regardless, not that old obviously, the copper is still bright.

varia ble voltage generators

Not if it was embedded slowly in secreted lime stone or coral growth.

Theres this hammer they fond in a cave embedded in limestone, too.... somewhere.

In fact that one screen capture of yours closely matches the cross section of cave stalagmites...

your pic:
