Self-Powered Generator - Inventor From South Africa

[SkyWatcher123]

Hi all, Hi shylo, thanks for the reply, are you going to experiment with this setup.

Yes it is 11 strands and 1 strand for feedback, using it because I have it on hand from that previous project.


I assume a single strand will work, since the original south african developer used 21 awg. single strand in all coils in the most preferred version.

I have to go for a couple of days, though I have a small data sheet already, will continue testing when I get back.

Here is the data so far, realize, The setup has already been running for at least 15 hours previous to this data sheet.

South african self powered generator test using two 12 volt tractor batteries.
Using only one coil/core at the moment, 12 strand 24awg., ferrite tube core.
1 kohm base resistor, TIP3055, 1n5408 diodes for base to emitter and collector to emitter,
2 parallel MUR460 flyback diodes.
3-1/2" diameter rotor using 1" diameter by 1/8" thick neo magnets, 4 total, one per 90 degree position.
=========================================================================================================

Have already made at least 5 battery position swaps and at least 15 hours run time.
Input power from input side 12 volt battery is around 3.23 watts,
or .26 Amps at 12.435 volts average or 48.45 watt hours so far.

Each battery, Battery A and Battery B, one had 12.55 resting volts at very start of these tests
and battery B had 12.56 resting volts at the very start.

Continuation of testing now documented - Test Battery Swap #6:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Battery A overnight rest voltage = 12.57 volts
Battery B overnight rest voltage = 12.70 volts

End loaded voltage charge side Battery A = 13.40 volts
End loaded voltage input side  Battery B = 12.35 volts

Run time for test #6 = 4 hours 24 minutes


Test Battery Swap #7:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Battery B 1 hour rest voltage = 12.56 volts
Battery A 1 hour rest voltage = 12.75 volts

End loaded voltage charge side Battery B = 13.14 volts
End loaded voltage input side  Battery A = 12.35 volts just blip to 12.34 volts

Run time for test #7 = 3 hours 17 minutes


Test Battery Swap #8, This test will continue when I return home
------------------------------------------------------------------
Battery A overnight rest voltage = 12.57 volts
Battery B overnight rest voltage = 12.695 volts

Hi, I've done some tests regarding the charge output for a secondary battery. It's not a circuit that meets your eyes. There's an old story about what I'd like you to read. In this matter has 3 very simple schemes to put in the recharge. Good luck with the tests and keep posting. Force

I know that in relation to the project is not directly a radiant charger but the pulses cause this problem in the secondary battery.

Hi aldex, I'm back, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I've worked on the stingo circuit previously, it is a nice charger.

Though the device being worked on in this thread, will not cause fluffy surface charge in any of the batteries, If that is what you are alluding to.

Any flyback voltage is coupled with the input side battery, same as boost converter and this gives the higher current charging, also generator action in coil caused by rotor magnets is coupling with input battery and giving charge to charging side also.

I have continued testing.

Hi all, I'm starting a new test, charged one of the batteries up a little, didn't need much anyway, because this setup does not seem to drain the batteries at all.

I was fiddling with adding the other coil and wired the feedback wire wrong and caused large current draws for a bit that would skew my long test run, so I'm restarting it.

Also changed the transistor to an NTE331 NPN, it has a little higher gain and I have the input tuned to around .340 Amps

Will be sharing the data, as I collect it.
Will be adding things to the setup after this testing.

Hi all, just a small progress update.

It seems the tuning of the feedback motor trigger coil circuit, needs to be tuned correctly, or the primary coil will most likely oscillate when we don't want it to or not give optimum charging efficiency.

This may cause increased input and the self sustaining battery charging will not be present.

We want the primary coil to trigger only when a magnet passes, just after top dead center.

So I raised the base resistor to 2.2 Kohm to reduce input current, still using NTE331, the rpm's reduced, though not that much.

I also added 3 more diodes (6A6) in parallel with the 2 other MUR460 flyback diodes to lower resistance, since I noticed the 2 MUR460 diodes were heating a little.

And I again started a new test, The input is even less than it was with the TIP3055, around .21 Amps and the rpm is higher.

I'm keeping it simple at the moment, to figure out the best parameters, so that It can be scaled later, for more useful shaft power.
