Thanks for your post Jim

Can you tell if you blender motor brushes are positioned 90 degreese to the stator coils or are they in a different position?

Have you filed the tip of the brushes so the contact point is a little less than one commutator segments width?

Thanks for sharing

Luc

Hi Luc 90 deg.
I'll be filing the brushes down before I move to a bigger motor.

If it is not to late-dont file down the brushes.

I am at work ATM on lunch break, but when I get home, I will throw together a quick test to see if you have the correct motor setup-its an easy test. I will post a video of the test, and leave it unlisted. At this point in time I am unsure as to how much I can get away with.

From here on, I will be working on the solid state version, but this time I will be posting my build step by step-all will be unlisted videos this time, but the link will be here when there up.
Please copy each video as we go.
My S/S version is based around Luc's setup.

Luc,

Thank you for this moderated thread. As you know, I always seek to find a
solid state version when there is a motor version that shows unusal measurements.
I have worked a long time with magnetic amplifiers. One version I did make a long
time ago was very promesing regarding input/output. 29 Watt in and 25 Watt out.
That is not bad by itself knowing that most pulse oscillators are at approx. 60%
in converting input to output. Now, by adding a shorting coil and transistor to
my Figure-8 circuit, then I clearly saw that this shorting added more output. So I
think it is the right way to go. I will try to build a 100 Watt version later on this year
and will report any findings here. I have attached my 2 Watt version here also since
the post I did make in the other thread got buried by all the spam posts.

(Sorry for any bad spelling, the spell checker will not work on my laptop.)

hi all, I have posted this pic before but I do not think any body got the gist of it . what it
demonstrate is that most of the inventions be it the meg for example reason that it does not work is that
the magnetic flux in the core is SHUNTED.. that is not cutting through the copper windings of the coil.
if in this pic one change the polarity of the poles that is north south this shaking figamagig will barely
work..the reason the flux is SHUNTED through the bolt.. but if north north the magnetic flux field over saturate the
bolt and radiate out and there for the field strength is doubled. and bob is my uncle the led lights up brightly.
the above first diagram is a patented figamagig us7453341b1 nov 18 2008. yes it works very well as a motor.
.please do not get me wrong the short circuit is not implied in this patent but same concept..but again the flux is shunted.. great
for a motor..i will send some of more of improve version of my figamagig. and just for a challenge please
some body let me know how I can get more energy out of my fingamagig.. remember 100 Seychelles rupees..
if nobody can I will keep my 100 rupees..

If you are driving this with 12 volts then you'll need a motor rated around 500w or more, (if you are using off the shelf mains powered universal motors) simply because in lower power motors the resistance of the rotor coils allows too little current to pass and the rotors will barely turn, if at all, in attraction mode alone.
Good alternatives to a vacuum cleaner motor are a hand held disk grinder motor, or a high powered hand drill. The higher the nominated power rating of the device, the more likely it will be appropriate to use on 12V experiments, as it will use lower resistance rotor windings, allowing for enough current from a 12 volt source to create a strong enough rotor field to overcome friction and rotor inertia.
The other option is to work at a higher voltage like 18V or 24V if you don't have a more suitable motor for 12v.
Cheers

Thanks Bellarine boy. I could get it running ok with the stator coils connected just not very fast.
