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

[SolarLab]

LoL- my cheap function generator makes both waves with a positive bias just fine..  No problem with diodes.

Any recommendations on 2 channel amplification?  I think regular lower frequency is what we need here.  Figuera ran his off a motor with 16 contacts which make 1 sinewave per rotation.  So he certainly wasn't running 100's of hertz..

Hi Floodrod,

Good to see the Sinewave waveforms can be generated (too easy - right!). Note that your generator can probably drive
a short circuit for about 60 seconds (check specs) so it does have some decent drive capability.

Citfa's Class A Amplifier is a good way to drive the coils and likely the simplest to implement.

Another option is to use a Voltage Follower Op Amp (a single supply rail or, if you have it, dual rail). Attached a few pdf
files that show the idea, but there's probably a lot better information available as well. More complex (?) but more options
and controls.

Thanks guys..  I ordered 2 Class A 1969 amplifier boards coming from China.  So it will be a few weeks.  I may order some amazon parts and tinker to make one while I wait.  But circuitry isn't my strong suit.

Thanks for the video!  That guy really makes good sense.

I think a regular more efficient amplifier may work..  Those Class A's are hot inefficient beasts.. 

Signal generator set to Triangle- then run the Stereo amplifier output through a bridge rectifier.  It flips the negative side to positive and evens out nicely.

Or if you want to mimic figuera's steps, you can use Post or Neg Ladder through a rectifier.  Again it flips the negative side to positive in an equal manner. Now it look like the resistor rig.

Then just use 2 channels and set the phase to 180.  <--  WRONG

EDIT-  With FWBR's, you need to use 90 degrees phase shift to get 180 degrees output..

(using regular sine is close, but it V's at the bottom a little too much, unless your signal generator can make a half-circle sinewave. )  But that triangle looks pretty dead-on to me..

Now I don't have to wait weeks..
