Re-Inventing The Wheel-Part1-Clemente_Figuera-THE INFINITE ENERGY MACHINE

Yes,
I'm Looking to run a 30 HP(or more) AC 3 phase motor...

Thanks RandyFL... After seeing you guys talking about 90 degree phases, I think I was wrong about the phase lagging in the coils, but why 90 degrees? I thought the two primary coils were in antiphase.. fill me in?

Antijon,

You are partially right: We need two signals so that when one is at maximun the other is at minimun. This is , as you said, antiphase (180º).

But we also need those signals to be always positive (at least that is what Figuera used in his 1908 patent)

With two 90º degrees out of phase signals, later we can rectify each one (using 2 diode bridges) in order to obtain the two opposite and positive signals required. (see image below)

Anyway, it is not bad to give a try also to two 180º out phase signals (although they are postive and negative = pole reversal), and see the results. These 180º signals can be obtained with just a center tapped transformer (as seen in this link: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/hsehld.html )

Randy;
most people use a rotary phase converter to convert single phase to three phase. this is accomplished by using a capacitor bank to take one leg out of phase by 90* in my understanding.
Quote;
"A rotary phase converter uses a three phase motor and a large bank of capacitors to combine a third tier of power with a single phase power source. The single phase source of electricity is attached to two of the three phase motor leads. The third lead to the motor is attached to one of the single-power source outputs in series with the group of capacitors, and the output leads from the rotary-phase converter connect to all three-motor terminals. In this way, the rotary phase converter generates a third of the source of power while simultaneously combining it with the other two currents from the single phase power source".

Randy;
I did find this though. i think it is much cheaper than the first. as i said a cap takes the phase 90* out....hope this helps

[RandyFL]

Yes it does...
I located a Baldor 3 phase 1/2 hp motor for around 200.00 - to experiment with.

All the Best
