Amplidyne - a mechanical amplifier

[Xaverius]

I use to work with Amplidyne Generators in the Navy(gun mounts).  I'm not sure how a solid state version could become overunity.........

maybe all of you didnt notice, but this is somewhat similar to thane heins bi torroid transformer where the primary coil induces voltage on shorted secondary coil but the shorted secondary coil has no  impact on the primary coil. Similar here in amplidyne, the stator field induces voltage in the shorted coil in the rotor but the shorted coil has no impact on the stator field even it has very high magnetic field.

Hi Xaverius

Could you tell us from your experience working with amplidyne's, was the power to drive the prime mover higher than what the amplidyne could supply?

Hi Goat, I don't actually remember all of the parameters but the AC supplied power to the motor was greater than the DC generator output.  As you know the system used a combination of servos, feedback circuits and a highpower drive motor for the turret.  The drive motor could respond very quickly to move a large mass due to the accuracy and output of the generator.  Overunity possibilities from such a system is interesting but I would have to analyze it further to see how feasable it would be.  Maybe someone else has some other ideas, could prove interesting.

Hi Xaverius

Thank you for your reply.

I've been having difficulties with this site for awhile now and tried but couldn't reply to your post.

Hope this post makes it's way to you!
