Is this the first selfrunning overunity motor w/o batteries ? Mike?s motor

Well, the basic electronics is built, and the unit is running in motor mode (ie from a power supply). My coils aren't too good - they're too long! It doesn't run continuously in motor mode unless I have 2 coils in parallel for the drive winding. as such I have the 3rd coil, the relay switched one, not connected to electronics but to the power coil. :-S
Haven't tried self running yet, need to get this coil issue sorted first I reckon. maybe if I can get more magnets onto the rotor it'd do the job....

yep, wider magnets got it continuously from 2 coils, but I still have to use the smallest coil for the main drive.

Now another question;
The hall sensor. Does anyone know where is it mounted / how it is triggered?
Do you just have it near the rotor so the magnets can trigger it as they fly past? If so I guess it's a case of trial and error to find the best position.

Charlie,
exactly that it is in my opinion. This way you can extract much much more energy than the magnets need to be built.
Corona, Mike did use an additional wheel on the shaft to mount a magnet there for a hall ic.

[corona]

no I haven't got a separate wheel for hall, that's what I'm not sure about. Why would you want the hall to fire only once per revolution? Is it something about only tapping energy occasionally?

Regardless of that, I'm not sure if my ss relay is working.... I'm getting no dc resistance through it when I trigger it, I know it's an ac device but it should switch on, and latch on, when it's switching dc..... afaik?

back to it...

Hi Corona,
The ss relay is a DC model not AC, look at the spec. 84131100

The AC relay is the cheap one, the DC version is about 2-3 times more expensive.

I think the hall sensor is mounted just above the black pulley, and a small magnet on the pulley appears to trigger it once a revolution.
Seems odd though, I would have thought you could trigger it six times/rev.
