Revised topic, choose to ignore, the choice has "always" been yours.

I'll put in a little effort in the hope of helping some people

The problem with the newman motor concept is this...

for around 33% the battery is connected to the coil via the commutator, this obviously deflects the magnet, the commutator turns disconnecting the battery from the coil, at the point of disconnection there is massive back emf, the only problem is, assumming the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the commutator is that the back emf is a negative voltage, if the negative terminal was connected to the commutator the back emf would be a positive voltage, so as you can see in each case it is opposite the voltage needed to store a charge in the battery.

I'm not knocking people, it is fun to experiment and try these things, thats why I took the time and effort to build my own newman motor, I even had a go at the bedini schoolboy motor, they are both great experiments and fun to build.

Just to give an example of bad accounting, take the "MEG"


Without the magnet the load gets very little power and the power reads high on the supply, as you add the magnet suddenly the load gets good power with very little increase on the supply, but what no one has done is to take into consideration the power that was being dissipated by the coil itself before the magnet was added, all the magnet did was to retransfer the dissipated energy in the coil to the load.

I want clean efficient energy but bad accounting is not going to get me it.

My goal is not to discourage, it is to encourage people to find a workaround for "proven" scientific fact.

While bored of waiting to continue with my electrolysis experiments I decided to rewind the coil on my Newman motor replication, it now has 2490 turns of enameled wire taken from the secondary winding of a microwave transformer, approx 150 ohms DC resistance.

Last night I had two 12 volt lead acid gel batteries wired in series doing some electrolysis which I left over night, this afternoon I disconnected them and left them to stand for around 3 hours, I took a voltage measurement and it showed in series they had dropped to 14.48 volts, thats 7.24 volts per battery(definitely a discharged state for these batteries), left the meter on for another 30 minutes, the voltage did not vary from that figure.

I connected the now newly wound Newman motor to these batteries(series connection), I've just checked the voltage again(motor disconnected) after 2 hours, it is showing 18.5 volts, obviously there is nothing conclusive in this as I need to test the batteries under load, but first I'm going to leave the Newman motor connected until tomorrow.

Well done RB ! Keep the motor running on the batteries and
please let us know.
Many thanks.
