Nice design, but as can be heard, the motor goes down in RPM as the coil generates current.


But this may be a good way to find a spot and orientation, in which the RPM remains high while the bulb is lit. At least easy to try.

we are looking to improve it, we are interestead for an aplication regarding the magnetic flux generated by the rotating sphere.

If it is a science project to show in principle how a generator (dynamo) works, it may be makes sense.

But if you consider the losses:

- may be 60% efficiency of the Motor
- may be 40% efficiency of the Generator

will give you about 20% to 30% overall efficiency.

A Joule Thief type circuit might give you 80% efficiency and no moving parts (which will wear out). I have some Joule Thief type circuits running since years.

I am not Advertising Joule Thiefs, but as home made things go, they are simple and they work.

One could drive a 1 W power LED from one 1.5 V battery with this component (up to 90% efficiency):

I consider it an improved dynamo, it can generate a lot of power regarding the small dimensions.....in theory it can light a car bulb on a bicycle

it is generating the power nedeed in a single position.
We will improve it....
thx
