@giantkiller: Regarding 390,721:  I see the two exciter shaft coils each giving a moving "impression" of their common static magnetic field, one ninety degrees behind the other, to the four generator ring coils.  If the two generator shaft coils were shorted, like in the motor, then the generator shaft would try to "shadow" the movement of the exciter shaft in one direction.  If the generator shaft were turned in the opposite direction, say with an 'unspecified' belt, then I wonder what shape the signals would make that pass to the motor and transformer.

I'll be joining you guys shortly on testing. Work and our wedding this week has drug me down a bit. This is posted at 4am while getting ready for work, problem is it will be 5pm by the time I get back here to finish the circuit = (

Good work on the setup Dan, looks awesome.

Hello Everyone,

Ever wonder what biasing a coil/transformer does? Check out this excerpt from the Wikipedia page about transformers!

A steel core's remanence means that it retains a static magnetic field when power is removed. When power is then reapplied, the residual field will cause a high inrush current until the effect of the remanent magnetism is reduced, usually after a few cycles of the applied alternating current. Overcurrent protection devices such as fuses must be selected to allow this harmless inrush to pass. On transformers connected to long overhead power transmission lines, induced currents due to geomagnetic disturbances during solar storms can cause saturation of the core, and false operation of transformer protection devices.

So having a static magnetic field up against the transformer core actually adds a little bit of power to the transformer when it is first turned on. So if this static mag field is suppled by a small external magnet rather than the remanence of the core, then you get a small boost in power output for free .

Just thought I'd toss that out to ya.

God Bless,

Jason,

So when pulsing the TPU control coils, the addition of the magnet next to the collector and control coils will increase current production in the TPU, hmmm. That fits with my theory regarding my super pole control coil design and Jacob's theory on magnetic reconnection ... I think. Not sure if you read Jacob's thread over on Gn0sis' forum regarding Magnetic reconnection, using a super pole type coil arrangement. I also wonder if that external magnet would influence the rotation of the mag field, or is that left up to the geomagnetic field to do that? or is the rotation a result of beat frequency interaction?? Something to ponder.
