Self-Powered Generator - Inventor From South Africa

[SkyWatcher123]

Hi aldex, yes, I'm building a bigger model, using a 12" aluminum bicycle wheel, though the actual rim diameter is 8.6", waiting for wheel to arrive.

In meantime, I'm making the coil/cores and coil holders and support structure.

Already have a core done, using 16 awg. bailing wire (black annealed wire), cut to length,
many pieces to fit in plastic pipe.

Spray painted the pieces to reduce eddy currents.

For core holder, using 1/16" wall thickness, 13/16" diameter pvc pipe, used for water heaters, from menards.

Have rectangular ceramic magnets from previous projects for placing around the bike wheel.

Reason for building new setup, the first one was not following the south african design much,
at least this model will be closer in design.

As it comes together, I will post pics.

Hi, I received my magnets for the beginning of the tests today. tomorrow I start to motar. I bought 20 neo 20x3 and put 4 on each end. respecting more or less the parameters of the project. What's new in 20x3 fashion is not even half the magnetism in the size of the reels that shows the photos of the project. (it was not achieved as this project was successful) I will strictly respect the magnetic field and the size of the magnets for manufacturing and cores of the coils. So send photos as photos. I'll see what happens.

Hi aldex, thanks for the reply.

I think one of the main reasons for using the weaker ceramic magnets, is the saturation of the core,

as too much flux would take more power to overcome and switching times might need to be longer,

which could reduce the higher efficiencies we are seeking.

And here is a picture of one of the cores so far and the bailing wire I used, the ceramic magnets that will be used and the coil former end piece template.

Hi all, here is one of the coil/core assemblies finished, just need to wind the coil.

Going to wind a 24awg. bifilar coil for the main primary-feedback coil, as I have that wire on hand.

Hi all, the first main bifilar primary-trigger coil is done, 18 layers of 24awg. magnet wire, with masking tape between each layer.
