Using Chas Cambel Flywheel System For 15 Horsepower

[thankGod]

All respected members i am going to use chas cambell flywheel energy generator to use in a a big energy system basically i am going to replace the starting motor to 2HP and flywheel to about 100KG and i am thinking to attach a 15HP alternator at the end of this system i need your honest advice to make this system and all the suggestions you have please provide me that my idea is ok and where i need to make changing to make system successful?i will be very thankful to everyone

I would like to be proven incorrect on this but I don't believe that your configuration will achieve "overunity".

1) Belt/Pulley loss: the energy-transfer in the diagram uses 3 belt/pulley pairs. This is a fairly high efficiency way of transferring energy but at best it is 98% (average about 95%) so there would be measurable "loss" across those three sections (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_%28mechanical%29).

2) Generator loss: guessing from the size of your diagram that you would possibly use a vehicle "alternator" type of generator (which generates AC before it is rectified into DC for the automobile use). The best efficiency for an alternator is about 80%. However, 60% is more "normal" (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator).

3) Time: It will take "time" (and electricity) for the 2hp 1,430 rpm motor to "spin-up" and get the 10Kg flywheel upto speed. At that point you would have "stored" energy in the moving flywheel which can be extracted by the AC generator. The generator will "slow down" this flywheel by using the stored energy to generate power.

I like the idea you have presented but would believe that it will "net" less energy "out" that what is put "in".

Smart Idea.  Yes, from all of my research, I think it will work.

1.  I recommend that you use weightlifter weights because the center hole is very precise for good flywheel balance.
     Plus, they are available in all kinds of sizes & weights.
2.  Use a pipe size that fits snugly in the weight center hole, to minimize run-out.
3.  Consider using good ball bearings or roller bearings.  Ebay has excellent low prices.
     Just do an Ebay.com search for Ball Bearings to see what I mean.
4.  Do a web search for  Charles Campbell Free Energy  to get some additional ideas.
5.  Try to ignore Paid TROLLS, that will repeatedly post negative posts & tell you it won't work.

There is a discussion on energeticforum.com going on right now about a device that I believe uses a similar principle.  It has some of the brightest members over there talking about it as the inventor has been given some awards and while the device initially seems to defy logic (as to how it could be COP > 1) it now has some possible explanations by the sharper minds on that thread.  Here:   http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/11282-awarded-machine-multiply-force-motor-free-energy.html

So yes I think this device from Chas has potential and always did believe there was something to it despite the negative PR some have given it.  I think it will take some work to get it tuned just right so I would suggest patience is needed in a build like this.  Best of luck.

Why not build his original setup first before trying to up size...
