Neuman Motor (br549)

[Raycathode]

Hi there watched your clips and had a quick browse of Mr. Newmans motor book but what I need to know to understand how the N S magnets are spun
with respect to current driving the coils and for how long evades me in most of his setups on youtube.
Any chance you can draw a flat circle with markings to show this please

regards Raymondo

Raymondo:

Attached is Joe's description of what I think you are asking. Is's on page 67 of his book.

Raymondo:
Attached is the drawing of the magnet location in reference to the current waveform

Mine is a bit different to yours I made mine more horizontal with a wall of rotating Neo magnets but same principle idea
but I soon realized the amount of friction drag slip rings and brushes created.

I later decided to learn from J B idea and build a full bridge transistor drive circuit and used a pair of Hall detectors,
The problem with Neo's and Halls is the switching sensitivity can be a further problem and really only Opto devices can accurately
control positioning and on-off time otherwise, it becomes a problem collecting the BEMF.

I can't realy re published J  B circuit here as it might well be copyright  nut you get the idea here.

Raycathode:
1. How much voltage are you using.
2. Are you able to get a scope shot at the Positive or Negative
    terminal of the battery or power supply.

Right now, when I look at the scope shot on mine, I'm not for
sure what part of the wave form (taken at the positive battery terminal),
is causing the reverse electrolysis (charging battery) if any. From what I've read,
it's the positive going pulses that raise the voltage on the positive (carbon)
electrode above the batteries normal voltage, causing a charging effect
upon the battery. I am trying to understand more about the role that the
--(current--), and current spikes (positive and negative) play in the battery charging
process. It's like a lot of things with me, yesterday I thought I knew, today I'm
not sure. The only thing I am pretty sure of is that this technology does work. But
it's kind of like your first date---It takes some experimentation to figure it out.
This is the waveforms I see with this
test and motor configuration (shown below).
Below pics. show my present scope and test setup.
Some insight from Joe, and thee waveform at the positive
terminal of the battery for one 360 degree rotation of the
rotor.
Shown is one rotation of the rotor.
Notice that the battery voltage dips down
during the time that power is
being applied to the coil. So
most of the positive going voltage
spikes do not exceed the normal
battery voltage of 460 volts. Does that mean
that the battery is not charging, (since the voltage spikes
are not more positive than the normal battery voltage),
or does the positive going current pulses help charge the battery also?
I thought I understood Joe's theory, but I may need to go back
and do another read of it.
I welcome any and all opinions, direction, and feed back.
In my world, there is no such thing thing as a illegitimate question or
opinion..
Have a great day.
