Reactive power - Reactive Generator research from GotoLuc - discussion thread

[gotoluc]

Well i had a fairly productive afternoon. Managed to get the generator all ready to couple to the motor.The generator now has a support bearing both end's-this is so i can try different motors if i wish. The generator and motor will be coupled via a shaft coupler.

Pic 1-engine and gen out of frame.
Pic 2-generator sepperated from motor.
Pic 3-motor striped and crank removed.
Pic 4-crank shaft with taper cut off,and housing from motor trimed to bolt back onto the generator and carry the other bearing.
Pic 5-genny all back together,and is now a stand alone genny, so as any motor can be coupled to it.

Great work TinMan,

happy to see you will be testing soon

cpaz, time's up my friend.

I'll not be lowering myself any longer to converse with you at your level.

The bottom line is this:

If and when you can refute anything technical I have said in this or Luc's other thread, then I may engage. Otherwise, you may as well go piss in the wind. 

Now, back to pertinent on-topic issues...

Luc,

You you mind if we first got back to this train of thought? Then we'll get to your post and questions therein.
Or is this not working for you?

OK,

You have the 4 unknown/hidden components connected in a circuit in front of you, and all you have to do is place your meter probes across each one and write down the voltage, including if the meter reading is "+" or if it is "-". Are you with me so far?

To save time, let's assume you are ok to this point.

Now to measure the 4 components, let's say you use the probe orientation as shown coming out of the meter, that is Black on the left, and Red on the right.

Next you start from R1 and move to the right with your 4 measurements. You do not change the orientation of the probes for the 4 measurements.

What POLARITY (don't care about voltage now) will the meter indicate for each component?

R1?
R2?
B1?
R3?

I don't mean to interrupt; but you're using a DC source there... what about when it's AC?   Does inversion really matter?  Normally it will compute to be all on one side of zero; adding capactiance skews it so half of it is negative... how do you get the inverse in DC?
