Neuman Motor (br549)

[br549]

I didn't know who this Neuman guy was until several months ago, when I accidentally clicked on a youtube video that told his story. What a heart breaker that was. So I decided to look at some more of his history, background and theories. His theory of magnetic's seems to me to make as much, if not more seance (with the experiments he did to support it)  than anything else I've seen lately. I figured that anyone who takes the kind of beating from the Power Brokers and Government (Patent Office) that Joseph Neuman took over his life time and keeps going...in an effort to bring his technology to the people, (and to market),,, there might be something to it.   So I picked up a copy of his book and thought I would build a motor.
The book  (The Energy Machine of Joseph Neuman)  is a little pricey ... it seems that the the printer plates were destroyed in a fire at the print shop that was printing his book??
That being said,, I know less about magnetics than I do about women, which has always been a puzzle to me. So all constructive suggestions and input are welcome.
I used banana plugs on the motor every place I could to make changes easier and faster.

Each coil has 6 pounds of wire, and 2 windings (one on top (29awg) of the other (28 awg).
Total capatance (all coils in series) = 0.015 uf
Total Inductance = 37 H
Total Coil Resistance = 2250 ohms
Resonant Frequency (all coil in series) = 2.2 khz
11,400 turns per coil
wire gauge = first winding 28 awg, second winding = 28 awg
Voltages,    230, 460

I am not real good with  the current probes
so the first thing I want to do is confirm the
output polrirty based on the direction the
probe is placed on the wire being monitored.
So I know which direction the current is flowing
in the wire of circuit. I get confused sometimes
if it's not right in front of me.

Sounds like you are catching a lot of friction
May want to reduce the contact surface area of the commutators
to achieve minimum input current

I can try that. I can reduce the width of my brass pick-ups. I used crome plated brass
on commutator #1 to try and keep the friction low.

Attached is a video of the wire commutator running.
