Remember, the whole point is to tune the motor to run at resonance, which creates the 90-degree phase shift between the voltage and current waveforms. In this state, the Power Factor is 0 (system is totally reactive), the VSWR is infinity, and you have no loading on the generator itself :-).

Hey you must have gone to the same school as me:)

Excuse me asking , but what is VARS .

Bucket brigade is a lot of 10,000uf load caps which are switched sequentially using an array of fets. So the first cap sees the joules from the generator then it charges the first dump cap. The cap is then disconnected from the generator then it switches to a second cap to fill that. Then that cap disconnects and fills a third cap then that disconnects then finally is connected to the load. Even more so the cap bank is in an ARRAY so that the caps are 3 layers deep by say 9 layers wide.  As the first layer has just discharged into the load the second layer is charging the 2rd cap while the 3rd layer is just taking a fresh generator sample. It bit complex but hopefully you can see that caps move energy through time.

What this does is move JOULES thru time to convert VARS to WATTS without any loading whatsoever.  This system is currently employed on a 2000 watt OU RV system.

Passive tuned is just RLC tuning which is RPM and LOAD specific. If you change the desired load or rpm outside of the system bandwidth the system requires complete retuning.

Regarding the Bucket Brigade, you just described an animation I made some time ago located here;

I see this as a good means to draw radiant energy from the atmosphere or to draw output without creating any back effects.

Hello Bolt & Everyone,

...

C = 900 / [0.0022 * (3.14159 * 4 * 6000)^2] = 71.97E-6 = 71.97 uF.

Remember, the whole point is to tune the motor to run at resonance, which creates the 90-degree phase shift between the voltage and current waveforms. In this state, the Power Factor is 0 (system is totally reactive), the VSWR is infinity, and you have no loading on the generator itself :-).

Hi Jason & Plengo:

I was gone a few days and great things happened! Good work Plengo! Keep it up.

Jason, where does the '900' in the equation come from? Just curious.
It sure helps to find the value of the tuning capacitor. Much appreciate.

cheers
