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

[Doug1]

To all
If it is to be assumed that it is started on dc pulsed through a commutator type controller to power on the inducer coils.Then at some point a portion of the ac output is to be used to self excite the machine there must be a way to convert the ac to dc without exotic electronics.The method by which may lead to other clues less obvious when looking at the patent as to further construction details regarding the three coils as per the date of the patent back a few years for time to research and perfect into a working device. Even if you decide to use electronic power supplies in the end there must be some reasonable explanation as to how it was done during the time of the invention. With this information in hand you may likely eliminate some of the impractical considerations.

Doug,

The patents mention using a switch (commutator) rotated by the small motor to convert the output to DC if desired.

IMO the detail is left out of the patent drawings because there was more than one way to accomplish the task. Commutator, transformer, rectifier ....

Bajac,

Thought you might find this interesting.

Cadman,
That is an interesting design. I performed an internet search but I was not able to find any information on this device. Do you have more information on the device?
Thanks,
Bajac

Hi everyone, it's been a while, sorry for my absence. Just wanted to share something as to my hypothesis of the generator.

First of all, hypothetically, if you took a generator head, made the rotor stationary and powered it with AC, it wouldn't work. A least, the output couldn't power the rotor like a normal generator does. It just became a transformer, and you can't power your fridge with that.

When a coil is powered by DC, it's energy is converted to a magnetic field. After the field forms, the DC current will only see the resistance of the windings. With AC voltage, the field is constantly opposing current in and out, which gives you the reactance as well as the resistance.

The difference between a transformer and a generator. In the generator, the DC voltage only sees the resistance in the rotor winding. That's all. This explains why a DC coil behaves like a magnet, and why a permanent magnet generator can provide power for a lifetime without needing more power in the magnets. In a transformer, the primary coil sees it's own resistance, the reactive impedance, and also the impedance and resistance of the secondary coil... not to mention the core loses. No one's going to be going off grid with a transformer.

The Figuera generator is a simple circuit. From the point of the commutator, it's two series of parallel RL circuits. The input voltage is DC, and it maintains a DC voltage across the coils, even though the current varies. This means that the magnetic field never collapses, it only varies in amplitude. Without the collapse, the voltage will never see the high impedance. The load will never be reflected back like in the case of the transformer, but, like in a generator, the field strength may need to be increased to maintain output voltage.

The commutator provides two peaks, 90 degrees out, but the flux in the secondary will see that as 180 degrees. So to effectively create a generator that powers itself, we need: 1. two primary coils, opposing, that maintain a DC field. 2. a signal.

The pic I included is the setup I tried tonight. The parts were as follows:
12 volt peak to peak, center-tapped transformer.
2 diodes
12 volt DC supply
The Figuera setup I have is three matching coils.

I drew out the waveforms to show the DC bias with the pulse from the transformer output. The transformer, rectified to the center tap, only output 6 volts. Because the two DC fields opposed, you can imagine that they weren't even there, so the output waveform was AC. All three coils are the same, the output voltage was 6 volts. The proof that I have- without the DC bias, the impedance of the coils and lossy transformer was too large, and the output was hardly enough to strike an LED. With DC bias, the LED lit to full brightness.

My next step is increasing the power. Let me know what you guys think. ^^
