Self-Powered Generator - Inventor From South Africa

[aldex]

Hi, I'm also waiting for a material to arrive here that I ordered to do a new assembly. this African generator is similar to the adams engine but as it is supposed to have no information on the internal measurement of the coils it is difficult to replicate since with the identical interiors it does not work as several people have already tried to replicate. I'm going to start my assembly I believe that next week using these configurations but using the adams principle together because I believe in his design a lot. Already having some result I am passing you. Have you used tip 35c? I used it on some tests and got as good results as tip 3055

Hi aldex, thanks for the positive reply and the fact you are testing also, glad to hear that.

I have not tried TIP35c with this setup, though I think most transistors will work, as long as the current gain is high enough for the coil being used with the feedback trigger version.

Also, the base resistor has to be tuned properly, because too much base drive causes the increased input and the charge side battery does not seem to maintain it's charge level.

As far as using a hall effect sensor, that may be more reliable, meaning easier to tune and no issues with possible run away self oscillations which can happen with the motor feedback coil setup and I do have hall sensors on hand for later possible use.

Would love to hear about the results you are having, could you share any pics or circuit drawing.

I'm continuing testing with the TIP3055 again.
peace love light

Hi all, here is an odd observation, after using the NTE331, I found with my setup as it is, the TIP3055 works the way we want, it seems to keep the battery charge up.

I had another TIP3055 on hand and used that and the motor would not rotate, using the 1 Kohm base resistor and only rotated when using a 500 ohm resistor and drained the input battery and did not charge the charge side well at all.

I checked both transistors with the meter and both seem good, only difference was the number shown on diode setting on meter was 100 more for the transistor that works with the 1 Kohm base resistor.

With the good TIP3055, rotor euns at good rpm, draws low input current and charges the charge side battery quickly.

Something must be damaged about that other TIP3055, I don't know.

Now I have to restart testing again, It seems finding the right transistor is important, I know the inventor used the MJE13009, which is a high speed switching transistor, I may need to order some of those to try.

peace love light

Hi all, not much forward progress yet on this setup.

Though I realized I needed more transistor base drive, as this coil is 12 strand, so actually not that many turns for a single strand.

So I used 2 strands in series and that is giving strong base drive now.

Had an NTE52 NPN on hand and that is a high voltage, high speed switching transistor.

It seems to be working very well at the moment, giving good rpm's and about the same input as the TIP3055, am continuing testing with the NTE52 transistor.

peace love light

Hi, any news on the project?
