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

[bajac]

As an educational exercise, it is interesting to correlate the alternators built by Ferranti, Mordey, and Siemens with the generators built by Figuera. For example, in theory the Figuera's 1908 device can also work as a rotary generator if each of the lineup of N, S, and Y electromagnets are placed in a disc configuration. The N and S discs shall be fixed with respect to each other and rotate relative to the Y electromagnets. In addition, the DC voltage applied to the N and S electromagnets should be continuous or pure DC voltage, instead of the two 90 degrees shifted full wave rectified voltages used in the 1908 motionless generator. However, the N and S electromagnets shall be geometrically spaced such that the induced voltages are shifted 90 electrical degrees with opposite N and S magnetic polarities.

The above proposed iron core rotating alternator, based on the Figuera's 1908 apparatus, should not carry over the problem of increasing air gaps for increasing power that was inherent to the ironless disc armature altenators built by the end of the 19th century. Said iron core generators would have been the next step improvement over the Ferranti, Mordey, and Siemen's alternators. The power of such iron core generators can be increased by increasing the iron core, wire gauge, and turns of the Y electromagnets while maintaining the air gap length with the N and S electromagnets to a minimum.

Of course, it is much desirable to have a motionless generator than a rotating one.

Hi all,

I want to recall you that in nowhere in the 1908 patent Figuera defined the real pole orientation. He did not use the words "North" and "South" in any sentence of the patent. He just called "renctangle N" and "rectangle S"

In the description: "Suppose that electromagnets are represented by rectangles N and  rectangles S"

In the claims: "...characterized by two series of electromagnets which form the inductor circuit, ..."

Where did Figuera used the words "north" and "south" in the patent?  Please re-read the patent and tell if you can fin them...

As you know I am almost sure that Figuera used poles in repulsion mode: like poles facing each other in order to swing the magnetic field back and forth. I will post some interesting results in my next post.

By now I just attach a couple of images. We must test every possible configuration: pole orientation, coil orientation (aligned, perpendicular,...), ...

Hello all,

It's good to be back among the living and working.
this is off topic but i am working on a rotating ring dynamo that i converted to motionless using electromagnets with the timing board similar to figueras timing board used by Patrick. board is finished waiting for Two more pay checks to order core material.
here is pic of ring dynamo.

Oh man i am sorry for the Huge pics i forgot about resizing , i am so sorry.

Marathon,

I am happy to see you back and fine!!.

The motionless dynamo you are building seem to be based on intermitent fluxes between poles.
IMHO oppinion this is not the same as moving the field as I think that Figuera tried to do. The aim of Figuera was to get flux cutting
Therefore you need to move the lines laterraly across the wires, not crossing along as the motionless dynamo
I don´t know if in your time off the forum you could watch a very interesting video that I uploaded:
