The above questions are for brainstorming, only. You do not need to reply because I will not waste more time on this issue.

It looks like you did not understand what I was referring to when I said "replicate Figuera's apparatus".

Hi Bajac,


Now the one problem I have with your suggestion is... what to replicate?


You see I build things from a standard drawing which has a plan view, a front view and a side view. The patent drawings are only schematics and convey no useful information. What did the device look like?
How big is it? what shape are the cores? how many turns of what size wire? Then it is said that the coils are at 90 degrees in the 1902 patent but not in the 1908 patent? Then in the latest patent there is a 'bar; show across the three coils... so much confusion and no answers???


Regards,


Ron


"Schematic": schematic diagram represents the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic usually omits all details that are not relevant to the information the schematic is intended to convey,

Greetings everyone,

I have lurked on this forum on and off for a couple of years and this is the project I seriously believe will work and is within my ability to build. My goal is to build a self running 12VDC high amperage generator to feed a high output inverter to 120VAC.

After studying the 1908 patent and sketches and modeling the commutator on a CAD I understand how it works with one contact brush (+ voltage) and the resistor. It is not complicated at all. The picture of the commutator in the Buforn patent in post #216 by hanon is correct. The commutator ring with the 16 contacts is attached to the resistor taps in 8 places on the upper side of the ring. Those 8 upper contact points are jumped to the lower 8 contact points in the lower half of the ring as shown in the upper left corner of the Buforn drawing. The brush must always be in contact with two adjacent commutator contacts at all times as it rotates around the commutator. If you have ever taken apart an old fashioned automobile generator, just picture the commutator with one wide brush riding on it.

My build is going use the commutator and an old fashioned wound resistor. These may have to be fabricated and may take a while.  My thinking is the methods available in 1908 should be used. Presently I think a small DC motor will be used to rotate the brush. The motor and the supply voltage to the inducing coils will be powered by separate windings in the induced coils after starting.

May I ask a favor? Can anyone point me to information about building or winding high amp DC coils? Maybe in the 10 amp range or higher?

Best Regards

i_ron,
Your are 100% correct! A patent is just a concept, an abstract!! You can implement it by trial and error or by using some engineering expertise.
I will post (in about two weeks) some sketches and information of what I am doing with the corrections based on my experience with this device. It might help you and others.

Again : is there anything in patent text about box around the connection point from the commutator to power supply , I spotted ?
Maybe there is a better , bigger  picture of the method of connection here ?


Why ? You should easily guess....

That will be great Bajac, I look forward to that.


Thanks, Ron
