Using Chas Cambel Flywheel System For 15 Horsepower

[Paul-R]

I only want to mention , that a Russian patent exists on this technology:
http://www.freepatent.ru/patents/2339844

This is dated March 2007. It won't stand up. I am pretty certain that Chas Campbell was long before that. I cannot find any patents from Ivan Skibitskiy in either the US or the EPO, and so, even if his Russian patent stands up, I cannot see that he will have protection in Europe or the USA.

Is there a way, from this site's records or the old Yahoo group, of determining when Chas Campbell's ideas were first disclosed?

Oscillate ''pulley'' tension...Do not couple to rightly, Isolate load by time delay.

It is a ''new'' idea, many incorrect replicas.

4th of july 2007 was the first time it hit ten new's here in OZ.

Dear All.

I present a short video of our drive motor being connected to a run capacitor of twice the normal value.

Any suggestions as to what might be happening ??

Cheers Grum.

I had a similar thing happen with my split phase induction motor, my motor has two windings the same and the capacitor is a
start/run capacitor which stays in series with one of the windings.

It was a long time ago and I was connecting capacitors in different ways when it happened.

I think the phases are fighting each other when that happens. And basically the motor shaft gets almost stopped dead for a short
time before being powered again causing the belt to be driven in a stop start kind of way which makes it flap and slap.

When I did it the effect was quite violent, I wish I could remember exactly how I connected the capacitors but I cannot and I didn't
record it as it was unwanted.

Did you disconnect the start capacitor before connecting the run cap or does the motor do that itself. Or is it a spit phase motor
and not a start then run motor.

Some motors are designed so that the "start" capacitor remains in place and becomes the run capacitor. If the two windings are
identical it can be used as a motor with a permanently connected capacitor which acts as the start and the run capacitor.

If a start capacitor is used to get a difference of phase in the currents in the windings then when the motor is up to speed that
entire winding can be disconnected and the motor will run on one winding.

The start and run capacitors should go on the same winding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

Permanent-split capacitor motor[edit]
Another variation is the permanent-split capacitor (PSC) motor (also known as a capacitor start and run motor).[19] This motor operates similarly to the capacitor-start motor described above, but there is no centrifugal starting switch,[19] and what correspond to the "start" windings (second windings) are permanently connected to the power source (through a run capacitor), along with the run windings.[19] PSC motors are frequently used in air handlers, blowers, and fans (including ceiling fans) and other cases where variable speeds are desired.

A capacitor that ranges from 1 to 100 microfarads is connected in series with the start (auxiliary) winding and remains in the circuit during the entire run cycle.[19] The start and run windings are identical in a reversible motor,[19] and reverse motion can be achieved by reversing the wiring of the 2 windings,[19] causing the other winding to be connected through the capacitor, and therefore act as the "start" winding. Non-reversible motors have smaller, thinner start windings, similar to non-reversible split phase motors. By changing taps on the running winding but keeping the load constant, the motor can be made to run at different speeds.

Three-phase motors can be converted to PSC motors by making common two windings and connecting the third via a capacitor to act as a start winding. However, the power rating needs to be at least 50% larger than for a comparable single-phase motor due to an unused winding.
