Tinman's Rotary Transformer

Testing Full-Wave-Rectified AC...

Using my vacuum-cleaner motor, as previously shown...

I've done a basic test of pulsed AC. From a variac, through a diode bridge, into the brushes...

I can't accurately test motor speed, or input power ATM, so it was just a qualitative test.

In my motor - pulsed AC and plain DC work just the same. They both give the same *qualitative* results.

Note, I have to run the motor at half-speed or less to see the effect. It has to have some room for acceleration...

I have both stator coils connected in series.

Taking power off the stators - through an LED - causes drag in one direction, and causes a speed-up in the other. If I short them out, rotation speed stays the same - I guess they cancel out.

Hi Woopy
  the motor is a 'Universal Motor' - it's designed to run on AC or DC - and always in the same direction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

The acceleration is what we're looking for. It proves that the Lenz-force / Back-EMF can work in your favour. Which is supposed to be impossible - according to mainstream engineering.

So you get the extra rotary force, plus you get the electrical output from the stator...

Luc & Tinman,
  guys. For the *third* time  , the magnets are not attached to the rotor... The rotor segments pass over the magnets. The PM design is basically a self-running Ecklin-Brown type generator...

If, after reading the posts, you don't understand it - I'm happy to answer questions.

If you don't think it'll work - I'm happy to listen.

If you don't think it's relevant, I'd suggest you're perhaps missing the point:

I think a *custom-made* RT could have a COP of up to 2, maybe more. But the RT as it stands - as a converted motor - will AT BEST demonstrate the effect. I.e. It's not going to power a house.

I think it'll be hard to prove OU with it, and it'll be hard to make a motor which is significantly better than standard. I think it's do-able, and worth doing, but it won't be easy, and it's not the ultimate goal...

I think the RT is EXCELLENT at demonstrating the effect.

I think that it is ENOUGH for the RT to demonstrate the effect. Just showing a mechanism by which Lenz can be 'overcome' is a HUGE ACHIEVEMENT.

Obviously, a converted uni-motor is not going to be the optimal configuration. The point of the research has to be to understand the cause-and-effect - so it can be engineered into a new device. One that will power a house!

Hi Luc,
  how's the houseboat going?

I don't think that this is right:

But once the rotor coil comes to a zero volt from the pulsed DC, the induced field in the stator will want to collapse and reverse which would cause a braking effect on the rotor. However, since TinMan has made as large of a coil he can fit on the stator, the stator magnetic field can be stored in that coil.

...the diode will redirect the stored magnetic field in the stator coil to go in the same direction it was originally going

I think the idea of 'stored flux' in this case is just confusing.

The relationships involved are defined by Faraday-Lenz's Law:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/farlaw.html

VoltageGenerated = - NumberOfTurns x ChangeInFlux x CoreArea / Time

So the stator voltage and flux is generated in response to the change in flux caused by the rotor.

It all happens instantaneously (well, at the speed of light), so there's no storage...

@ Tim-Quote: and it'll be hard to make a motor which is significantly better than standard.

Well we already done that. In my video's you can see the RT kicked the standard fan motor's ass.
And we never took into account the output power from the stator coil of the RT in those test.
That House fan in the test has a 5 start efficiency rateing,wich is suppose to be up near the best.
But the average guy can build a far more efficient motor in his shed,to do the same job,but better.

Now about those PM's .Im guessing they are there to magnetize each rotor segment as they pass,with having the correct timeing ofcourse. Problem is the field of PM's are rather large,so i dont believe that the magnetic field will just be removed from each rotor segment that easly.
But i have always said-if you want answers,there best answer'd by a working device.
As far as OU go's-well like i said,this is just an efficient motor at the moment,and shows no sign of OU.But i do believe that the answer lies with the PMM of some description. What if we impliment this effect in one of those wankel PMM's as pictured below?
