N-Machine updates?

[dutchy1966]

@Paul,

HI again. I'll try to explain my thoughts regarding the N-machine improvements. My idea is to address the two main drawbacks of the original faraday disc. They are as said before, the very low output voltage and the pickup brushes/contacts.
To change this I imagine foloowing changes to the concept:

1) replace the copper rotor disc with a spirally wound (bifilar/tesla pancake) coil of the same size. This will increase the voltage I guess because of the tremendous increase in length of the conductor. The bifilar design will increase the enrgy capacity of the coil. Because of the pancake design there will not be much counterflux returning to the stator. The "rotor" can now become static (see 2) and the pickup brushes are no longer needed.

2) replace the permanent magnets with an array of hildenbrand type valves on both sides of the "rotor" (it is no longer a rotor...). By switching the valves on and off they beam the magnetic flux through the spiral core "former rotor". Since there is no counterflux interacting with the valves they can be switched with very low power.

What do you all think of these thoughts? Does it make sense? Do you need more explanation?

Hi Dutchy,

Sounds good except one thing will not work ->

1) replace the copper rotor disc with a spirally wound (bifilar/tesla pancake) coil of the same size. This will increase the voltage I guess because of the tremendous increase in length of the conductor. The bifilar design will increase the enrgy capacity of the coil. Because of the pancake design there will not be much counterflux returning to the stator. The "rotor" can now become static (see 2) and the pickup brushes are no longer needed.

The induced voltage on a Faraday or N-machine is inward. There is no sideways induced voltages. So the spiral will do nothing but increase the internal resistance. :-)

2) replace the permanent magnets with an array of hildenbrand type valves on both sides of the "rotor" (it is no longer a rotor...). By switching the valves on and off they beam the magnetic flux through the spiral core "former rotor". Since there is no counterflux interacting with the valves they can be switched with very low power.

Wow, that's very interesting! I've read about Jack Hildenbran's device but really don't know the details such as the valve. Sounds great though and Jack's thread is getting a lot of traffic.

Thanks for info.

Hi Paul

I think the polarity can be reversed by changing direction or magnetic fields.  Tesla had his version patent number 406968.  This would be the one to build.  It doubles the voltage and solves the high speed brush problem.

I think Depalma and others missed this patent.  I never saw it mentioned or referenced in their articles.

Hi tishatang,

Thanks for link. Tesla sure got around.   He was amazing!

Hello tishatang
Thank you for the link to the Tesla patent. I have an interest in the unipolar generator and Faraday's induction dynamo. This Tesla dynamo appears to be two induction dynamos with the rotors joined by a conductive belt. However, the terminals are both the center shaft of the two "generating conductors". Since they are both turning in the same direction (either CW or CCW) doesn't this mean that the two terminals are either both positive or both negative?
