Confirmation of OU devices and claims

[Grumage]

Hello All.

I'm pretty sure there's a few folks been waiting to see what's pictured below.

Despite the sub zero temperatures in the workshop I made a 9 magnet rotor. I'm hoping 9 is a good number, it was chosen because it suited my 90:1 ratio rotary table admirably.   

I'll keep you posted, Cheers Graham.

Hi Graham,
I've done alot of builds ,I would say that alternating poles is the way to go, just my opinion.
The full wave bridge creates too much drag, A pair of diodes on each lead can give you a take off point for power collection, that is say two coils wired in series can provide 3 collection points.
Currently I have the collection points of one machine feeding another machine , I have 2 machines built into one.
Any kind of core that attracts to pm 's is a step in the wrong direction, just my opinion.
Looking forward to your progress ,as well as Tinmans'  I think both of you need to stop thinking of the standard layout, because it doesn't work.
I'm wrong it works but, but not very well.

Hi Grum and Tinman. Just following up on this. Did you guys decide to throw in the
towel on this? I tested pulsing an SLA battery in various ways using solid state switching circuitry,
but found nothing so far that would seem to magically keep the battery from discharging while
powering the switching circuitry. I could slow down the battery discharge rate, but the battery would still
slowly discharge.

All the best...

Hi, again Void. 

No towel thrown in from North Wales yet.

Christmas is a very busy time for me. The 9 magnet rotor showed some interesting results, I need to be able to accurately rotate the coil assembly WRT the commutator as I have seen 500 Volts PP on the scope in certain positions.

I chose not to use any semiconductors, purely passive capacitor bank tuned to resonance and the commutator.

To be honest I felt there was little interest being shown with this project to date?

Cheers Graham.

Hi Grum. Thanks very much for the update.
That's interesting about sometimes seeing 500Vpp in some positions.
I think in some of these related generator setups, some people had the coils
offset from the magnets in a sort of non linear/out pf phase spiral or other out of phase offset
pattern, but I don't know much more about it than that, and whether or not it makes much difference to the performance.
Yes, it does seem that there wasn't all that much interest overall...
Enjoy your Christmas!

All the best...
