Brushless Homopolar N-Machine Idea ...

[CompuTutor]

Thank you for clarification on your idea PhoneBoy.

Sounds more like a Testatika static charge idea,
than an eddy current Homo-Polar/-N-Machine.

Most people don't know that lightning
starts at the + ground
and works a feeler finger up
until catastrophic dielectric breakdown occurs
from - cloud, to + ground

.....Also, as far a a brushless setup goes
I think Mr. Wilkes rolamite can work as a bearing
and pickup in one with low friction
similar to the belt drive used by Tesla in his unipolar dynamo.....

A rotary rolamite idea...nice.
Essentially, a standard roller pin bearing,
with a walking strap to eliminate friction.

That would do good for the center axis contact..

Imagine the surface speed of a belt
if it was used on the OD of a disc ?

Wow, that would be screaming...LOL

But it could employ a whole cluster of discs,
instead of just one single one like most ideas so far.

A whole array of stationary axles for discs,
with one of them a motor to feed the belt.

Each shaft having It's own smaller rolormite idea
for the center of each disc too...

Then a standard 1" ID x 3" OD magnet
would "bath" the WHOLE disc surface.

From what I understand,
it is essential the field does this.

Correct me if wrong...

My ideas that is,
not my spelling.
That's always going to suck...LOL

Is there any way we can contribute to the dictionary database
this forum engine uses for It's spell-check feature ?

It certainly doesn't contain any of the many technical terms
we all use on a daily basis while posting technical concepts.

There are other liquid metals less toxic than mercury.

Yes, your right.
Only that Mercury came up in topic
caused me to comment on "Crusting" issues.

Liquid is great for stationary machinery.
but if used in a mobile application,
it might quickly become a failure point.

Again, I am still awaiting someone to perform
the earlier LED test to confirm the outer contact
must be in motion in relation to the disc edge.

When that idea fails,
and hence all my ideas posted earlier.

Then we are back to finding a low-loss contact method.

Now remember,
the original N-Machine had conductive liquid
in a trough ALL the way around the edge.

Not just one point of contact...

Sure seems to indicate that the dipole
is equal from the center of the disc
to the entire periphery of the disc.

Hence my persuit of this specific answer.

Have anyone done any experiment on the above ideas?
