Has anyone seen Lasersabers new motor runs on 1000uf cap

[TinselKoala]

I want to apologise for hijacking this thread, which should be about LaserSaber's motor running on capacitors only. The Travis stuff is interesting but ultimately boring. He has even removed the nice animation from his website and has toned down his claims considerably. So no more about Travis in this thread, I promise.

after LASERSABRE.... Linoavac made a VIDEO with aplication of "Linoavac magnetic principle"

also with a video general info of coils with magnets (kick magnetedCOIL)

Wow, I never thought I would ever see @TK cutting the cheese on youtube. Next stop MIT. lol

So, after that rather scent filled interlude, let's all go back to our regular programming.

@LaserSaber replied to my question here...

Hi Wattsup,

I will explain with a corrected picture.  There is a vertical piece of wire glued to the plastic that the 42 AGW wire from the bobbin is attached to.  If you still do not understand I will explain it in my next video.

I have now printed a V3 design.  I am just starting to wind the coils with 39 AGW wire.  I am using the 39 AGW just because I have 10 lbs of it and need to use it up.  I think the 42 AGW would work better but the V3 has bigger coils and I do not have enough 42 AGW oh hand.

I have been testing lot's of different configurations.  It seems that I cannot get the good charging effect with the 6 coil 6 magnet motor.  The charging really works will with the 6 magnet 12 coil arrangement.  Something about the alternating coils seems to really make a big difference.  I will be able to test this more on the V3 unit with it's snap in and out bobbins.  I will have a lot to show on the next video.  I just have to stop experimenting long enough to make another video. :-)

Seems like the Autodesk 123D Design version 1.3 is not compatible with my Windows XP Professional 64 and I will never use Win7 even if you paid me.

I will download it anyway and try to install it.

@Gyulasun: thank you for the Reed switch timing advise, specially the double Reed switch, also this Adams Motor design http://www.overunity.com/5446/a-self-charging-adams-motor/msg123037/#msg123037 seems to be interesting.

@TinselKoala: thank you for the Reed switch timing advise, specially the magnet on the opposite side of the Reed switch.

@Farmhand: thank you for showing the nice trigger circuits.

I was stuck in a mountain region in Austria for almost three days due to flooding and landslides, fortunately in a nice hotel and all necessities kept working. Many people were not so lucky and lost their house in Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia.

I had a lot of time to think about experiments with my 6 coil Lasersaber 3D-printed motor replication, which I will start tomorrow.

Greetings, Conrad
