Alvaro: Nice build, looking forward to test results.

Hello everybody
I am testing the "concept" of the 1908 patent
As the commutator I am using one from an AC motor 10 poles
attached some pics, may be useful for replicators
Cheers

Good job man.
I'm looking forward for the results. I start to build the electromechanic control system. Probably one more week I will be able to test.

thank you
I had to stop the tests because of problems with the VRs, may be they went toasted as no way to regulate them.
I made the first attempts with a 12V 200 mA power supply (batteries behave there own way)
With this setup lots of sparks, Volts in the hundreds and much RF emission, I realized that with just one multimeter probe  on a cap at the output it reads crazy voltages.
The output may drive a small dc motor (inductive load) but does goes down with resistive, as a 12V incandescent lamp.
At higher rpm in commutator, better output, and lower amps at input.
Before doing more accurate measurements (systematic) I´ve got to change the resistors an put some for 1W or so.
I don.t like to post results with claims, as for reliable measurements, is essential to use professional equipment AND knowledge which I do not have.

cheers

Hi Alvaro,

Very ingenious device!!!  I would recommend you to use much much lower resistors. If you are feeding 12V with just one resistor ( 100 Kohm as you are using) --> I = V/R =12/100000 = 0.00012 A as maximun ( with 1 resistor). I think you should use resistor lower than 5 ohms (or less) to have greater intensities. I posted an Excel simulation where you can see a good value for your resistors. Buy resistors prepared to evacuate some heat (10 W or more ). Also you may use a more powerful DC source. My DC source is from and old scanner (12 V and 1.2 A)

Good luck!!

Hi all,

I have to say that I am very happy to see the enthusiasm and effort shown by the members of this forum about Figuera's devices. Figuera's technology is free and it is here for the taking.

First of all, I apologize for not being able to provide the detailed description in a single document of the device that I am building. I have been really busy with other affairs that do not allow to spend time on this project. However, all information about Figuera's technology has been disclosed in this thread.

The main components are the iron cores and the windings. For example, the key components of the 1908 device are the electromagnets. Once you build the electromagnets, you only need two 90-degree shifted full wave rectified voltages. It does not matter how these input voltages are generated! If you do not know how to build the electronic circuits, you can use the commutated switch and the power resistors shown in the original patent. For the size of the device shown in this thread, it is recommended that the power resistors have a minimum rating of 50W and a maximum of 10 ohms. THESE RESISTORS GET REALLY HOT! That is why Figuera showed wire wound resistor type. When Figuera ran his tests, I can imaging these resistors getting red hot similar to wired heaters. The use of these resistors is the least efficient option. The resistors dissipate relatively high energy.

A better option for generating the input voltages mentioned above is to use a motor-generator. The generator should be able to provide two sinusoidal voltages shifted 90 degrees. Then, each of these generator AC voltages can be applied two a full-wave rectifier diodes.

If the iron core is big enough to house the coils, you can use about any iron core that you feel comfortable working with. The cross section of the iron core that I used is about 1 inch width and 3/4" depth.

I have also recommended to build the 'N' and 'S' electromagnets with no less than 300 turns with taps, let's say 200T, 300T, and so on. If you can do 400T, it is even better. The minimum gauge size for these primaries coils should be #18 AWG.

I also recommended that the wire of 'y' secondary coils should have a minimum gauge of #14 AWG. Minimum number of turns should be 200T. The use of #14 AWG wire for the secondary will allow for the connections of heavier loads.

The other important design criterion to keep in mind is to minimize the air gaps. If you refer to the photos I posted a while ago, you will notice that the air gaps consist of a paper thin insulator.

The above recommendations are based on my own experience with this device. If you follow them, you will have a device with good power output during testing.

With respect to the 1902 patent, the primary coils should have a lot of turns. For testing purposes, I would use no less than 500 turns of #20 or #22 AWG for each of the primary coils 'a' and 'b'. Because the secondary must travel through the air gaps, the air gaps shown in the 1902 patent are considerably larger than the air gaps of the 1902 patent, and therefore, the magnetic reluctance of the of the iron core is much higher for the 1902 device. The latter implies that to create a considerable magnetic flux in the 1902 device, you will need a very high A-T (Ampere-Turns). And, that is why Mr. Figuera furnished the air gaps of the 1902 device with primary coils 'a' and 'b' located on both sides of the air gaps.

Thanks again.
