Hi Sean,
well done,
but at 50 mA as in the second example, you are draining your battery too much...
Better would have been to keep the 200 Ohm winding, so you have more wire and
go to 24 Volts input , so put 2 batteries in series.

Anyway, now please try with your current setup in the 50 mA  case to light
a 2 to 3 Watts  incandescent bulb.

Just connect it there, where you have the ampmeter now.
So remove the ampmeter and connect there the bulb.
Or just short out the ampmeter  with the bulb.

Many thanks.

Will try the bulb this weekend when back home.

Not happy with the strength or straightness of the existing magnet and axle but...
have managed to source two 45mm by 4mm neo ring magnets from Germany and will run the axle all the way through this time and mill out a new custom holder. This should help cut down the friction and make it alot smoother.

If the magnets have arrived home I will post an update over the weekend.

Cheers

Sean, was that really yours with a bent shaft, left end was all over..  LOL..

Looks good. 

I did not make it for the 1600 feet of wire this week (mpja.com), but will add that I have left and re-wrap this weekend.  I need to get graphite on mine as well.

So hope to play this weekend.

I keep seeing this wheel that have magnets and no sticky point, I might try a small version on the red bearing wheel as well

The bent shaft grrrrrrr I know, I know LOL
I milled out a magnet holder and then tapped both ends of it so I could screw two seperate Rods into it. In the rush I screwed one of them in too tight and hear a not so nice crack. This was fine for the first 50 or so turns but then it started to wobble!!
The next one will be alot more stable I promise hehe

What wheel do you keep seeing?? more info please

Cheers

Sean.

Sean,

Here in the wheel video.  There is a thread on it here too.  Looks interesting..

Ah this one, yep looks good but I think he may come up against the back drag when he places either another Stator or extra magnets on the disc at 180 degrees.

Have seen a few designs getting past the sticky point/spot but as soon as you add an extra Stator magnet or Rotor magnet it fails because  it is surprising even on a big wheel the effect the extra magnets have even at a distance.

I demonstrated in this thread below how you can get past the sticky point/spot with MuMetal

But in saying that you got to keep trying and nice wheel he has there.

Just got home for the weekend this end but no new magnets to play with

Cheers

Sean.
