First Newman machine - Big Back Current Spikes lighting up Incandescent bulbs

[antimony]

I just watched the end of the documentary that you linked to, and it was a sad one.

I haven´t read his book, but did he disclose all information of the motor in it, or did he take some vital information to his grave?
If yes, what could it be?

This thread and Russ Gries videos got me thinking  about Newman theory of magnetiSM.
Especially this one catched my interest, but iif you are a noob like me, then this video lecture series have been really beneficial.

I just wrote this to Russ:

Okay Russ, well did you use Top Dead Center TDC to reverse the coil current ? Play with the settings of the rotor position versus coil where you reverse the coil current. It must not be TDC , but probably 30 degrees or more before or after TDC...Also better just use FL tubes in series with ceramic caps across the coil instead of the spark gap.You should then really see more and bigger and longer back current spikes..

So with Not  using TDC , but a different angle where you reverse the current , the motor will run slower,  but the back current spikes will increase as it will then run more in the generator mode... Very important.

Hi Russ, first try to get this big Back Current spike from your machine. just with a mechanical graphitebrush<->copper commutator and a FL tube across the coil, so you will get this staircase current backspike.. ( Comes from the negative partial resistance of the FL Tube, when it flashes)
Also you must not reverse the Coil current at TDC but offset for an angle of about 30 to 60 degrees I guess, so it does not run at full speed, but lower but will produce this big long lasting back current spike, where in this scopeshot you can not see the normal input current,
as it is musch too small for this amperes/div display setting of the scope...
( The scope heads might have been reversed connected in this scope shot from the book, so it is into the positive direction..
normally it goes below the ground line...)

Hope this helps...

Regards, Stefan.

Well,
I have uploaded a color corrected version of my Newman Visit tape from 1987 now to my new
Video storage home at Dlive.io

https://dlive.io/@overunitydotcom

I will from now on upload all my new Videos over there to earn some Steem cryptocurrency.

It is a great way to be paid way more than on Youtube as the Liking will pay you Steem cryptocurrency,
but it does not cost the Likers anything to Like the video ( Upvote it..)
So you basically get money from the steem blockchain mined money.

You need to be logged in to Steemconnect.com ( which is a Service from Steemit to upvote the videos on DLive.
If you don´t have a Steemit.com
account yet to participate in this cryptocurrency earnings,
you need to apply at steemit.com for a free account or you can also get one faster at:
https://anon.steem.network/
which must be paid, but it has the advantage, that it is anonymous and you get it much faster, but you have
to pay for it.... but it is worth it...

Also dlive.io has the advantage, that you can upload animated GIFs as the thumbnails for the video,
so you already can see, what it is about...

Hope you like it....

Regards, Stefan.

Hi All ,
Thanks for being here.
I have built a Newman machine with 200lb coil.
Diagram attached.
I don't know what caps to use for squelching spike.
Help.
Thanks,
