Don't look too hard for secrets - there aren't any - it's strikingly simple.

You don't need an advanced CAE Analysis either, once you understand the B-H Curve
and how the magnetic field can be increased (mid-school physics) and how that
magnetic field gain is harvested using a simple Lap coil.

This needs move discussion ( from physicist /electrical engineer types
Will ask Smudge


You east coast guys are up too late ...( me too




EDIT for comment below
There were questions to Solarlab early on,( unanswered questions)
addressing your simulation postings They were very important points .. technical points
Example "your starting points for sim"
"How did you get to that starting point"?


Like the thumb on the scale ( a layman term for biasing or skewing results)
Honestly
I am out of my depth in these questions ( so I will endeavor to contact some who asked..( for clarity)
Good thing FE community is very capable ..and willing to help ..

Well
Wouldn't it be wonderful if tomorrow a really good independent lab ( UL grade
Put their reputation on the line
And certified Holcombs self running autonomous unit ( of any output at all

Review the Solarlab posts on the threads starting at:

I'm not about to go through the whole thing again - all has been asked, and answered.

Any constructive, educated feedback is always appreciated.  However, the CAE Analysis
has been well scrutinized, but more learned technical eyes are always welcome.

But, the topic is growing old and the stupid crap is over as far as I'm concerned; so
if your intent is to argue further - don't waist my time - we've moved on to the next phase.

Every success...

Computer-aided engineering is a general name for programs and software packages designed to solve various engineering problems: calculations, analysis and simulation of physical processes. The calculation part of the packages is most often based on numerical methods of solving differential equations/
CAE-systems are various software products that allow using computational methods (finite element method, finite difference method, finite volume method) to evaluate how a computer model of a product will behave in real operating conditions.

I have already had many disappointments when I applied ready-made paper clips, when in paper clips one thing is one thing and in practice another. That's why I have no enthusiasm. These programs with real calculations of real indicators are kept behind seven seals by design bureaus (it's their tool for earning their bread). 

Moreover, all design bureaus do not hide that designing of real electromagnetic generators is impossible without modeling of work with load, which is done in fact, applying a bunch of deduced coefficients for a particular model and a particular load to it.

I think that Holcomb's team has such an algorithm, which they have applied in higher power and got a negative result. I am just sure of it and I really want them to solve the newly arisen technical problem.

Try Ansys EM or some of the others I've mentioned - you can do an entire system,
including loading. They are especially good at motors and generators.

Used by pretty much all big league firms - see their client list.

Anyway, do as you wish - I'm just pointing you in another direction - beyond paper clips!
