Why 518,400? The number locks explained

518,400 is the core “number lock” in Bendall’s study material; this site calls it Time’s mould. Here is how it is built and how much weight it can bear.

Plain definition

How the number is built

Multiply 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 8 × 9 × 10, leaving out 7 (treated as a zero-point or “DC” slot). The answer is 518,400.

It also equals 25,920 (the “Great Year”) × 20. Divide by 10,000 and you get 51.84 — used as the cone and pyramid angle in the hardware.

Inventor claim

Why the inventor cares

In the model, design ratios in the metal — sphere sizes, pipe octaves, 51.84° cones — sit on this number family so they are not arbitrary. Related locks link 518,400 to protium (÷ 129,600 = 4).

Neat arithmetic is not evidence of physics. These locks are taught as the inventor’s design language.

Measured

What is measured

The Embry-Riddle test — an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University master’s (M.S.) thesis (2026), with the road-test hardware supplied by the manufacturer, Plasmoid Power — found, under the conditions tested, a 9.67% lower fuel-use rate on a small generator and about 8.7% better fuel economy on a one-vehicle road test. In an idle test, carbon monoxide (CO) fell by about 34%, while carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxygen and hydrocarbons did not change significantly.

The meter does not show that any number lock is needed for that result.
