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

[Sam6]

I recently presented a spreadsheet for calculating the electromagnets used in a Figuera device. I appreciate the comments forum members made concerning it. The gap calculations in it were wrong because I assumed an air gap. Actually, there are joints which do not have nearly as great a loss as an air gap. This is explained in a 1893 book, Dynamo Electric Machinery. I have copied the pertinent part and included it in the revised spreadsheet.

Having reread the Elementary Dynamo Design book by Bennison Hird, I decided to continue to pursue his experience related recommendation to oversize the inducer coils to compensate for the back EMF in the output that occurs when the power factor 0.8. I asked myself the question "What effect would different oversize inducer coils have on the unit?" To get the answer, I plugged in increasing amp-turn values, and voila...an increase in usable output appeared followed by a decline in output as inducer amp-turns increased. I plugged in a value between the max output amp-turns and the decline amp-turns and found a peak. Additionally, the weight of the unit decreased as the amp -turns increased. The same effect presented itself with a smaller size design. These values are shown in the attached spreadsheet.

The magnet pull for a single inducer pole on the 16KW unit was found to be 2004 lb. Although small bolts have adequate clamping force to hold the inducers and outputs together there will be leakage lines that can attract small, nearby objects. I have not determined a way to protect against attracting them or causing harm to people. I would appreciate any suggestions forum members may have to solve this apparent problem.

I hope this will help some of you. If you see errors, I would appreciate you pointing them out, as I have only the desire to get it right.

Sam6, what program should I use to view your spread sheet?

Thanks,

The spreadsheet is Microsoft Excel, but you can also use some of the free office programs to open it. I hope you find it helpful.
Best regards,

  I have to assume you understand why no one builds a generator with a single pole field magnet ,not one with any appreciable output.

In other words, it might be better if I wind the device rather than try to use a Variac that has to go back and forth.

Good luck,
