@aether I will give shaft dimensions whch cover the vast majority of 8" bench grinders: I have 4 of them Thread 5/8 UNC LH on one side RH on the other. Shaft reduced diameter 5/8" (16mm) shaft diameter entering motor 20mm or 25mm depending on machine shaft entering rotor 1" (25.4mm) or 1 1/8" If in doubt go to a hardware and measure one I think that Thanes grinder might be a 6" but the 5/8" shaft is pretty much standard as it fits most wheels and wheel adapters They are an abusive lot over at the Skeptics aren't they?

"Why did you do that to me? I'm working my ass off over there defending you at no benefit to me, and as you've seen they've been pretty rough on me. Some people give you money to help, some people give you ideas.  I don't have either, so I'm doing what I can at the grassroots to fight in some small way the difficult and largely unjustified atmosphere of skeptecism in which you and other pioneers have to operate.  And somehow you're making me feel like you're calling me out and exposing me for doing something slighty slimy."

Dear NotMe,

I WOULDN?T WASTE TOO MUCH TIME IN YOUR SELF IMPOSED STATE OF DENIAL.

IF YOU ARE SINCERE AND YOU WANT TO HELP - DON?T DO IT FOR ME EITHER ? DO IT FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN FIGHTING AND DYING IN IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN ENJOY LOWER GAS PRICES HERE AT HOME. DO IT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND SO MOMMY OR DADDY CAN COME HOME SAFE ASAP.

DO IT FOR THE FARMER AND HIS FAMILY IN DARFUR WHO IS BEING HUNTED DOWN BY CHINESE GOVERNMENT PAID HIT MEN TO MAKE ROOM FOR OIL WELLS AND PIPELINES.

DO IT FOR THE PEOPLE OF ALBERTA WHO SIT IDLY BY WHILE 1/3 OF THEIR PROVINCE IS RAPED AND FOREVER DESTROYED SO OIL CAN BE SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES.

SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SAID MAY ACTUALLY BE TRUE ? LIKE NASA WITHDRAWING THEIR OFFER. THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT ? WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS INFORMATION AND EXPLORATION OF THIS TECHNOLOGY IS MADE PUBLIC AND STAYS PUBLIC IF WE ARE ALL TO KEEP IT ALIVE.

Sincerely
Thane

There is an induction motor I can get for $60, it's 2nd hand. But would want to veriy what type of induction motor Thane is using in his generator demo, shaded pole or split phase?

(makes sense if I go to the bother of buying something special for the experiment I get as close as possible, I wish I could have Thanes philosphical view on failed experiments but they just hurt)
LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR THEN AND DO IT FOR THE SAME REASONS I SUGGESTED TO NOTME.

In fact how much would I have to pay for luc to send a whole working demo unit seriously?
ASSUMING LUC OR STEVE? HAD THE TIME IT WOULD COST ABOUT $750.00 CANADIAN TO BUILD + SHIPPING. IF THEY WON'T DO IT I WILL - IN FACT I HAVE A SPARE ROTOR & MOTOR I CAN SEND YOU FOR $300 CANADIAN + SHIPPING IT'S MY BACKUP BUT I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE. IT IS AN 18 POLE ROTOR MAGNETS INCLUDED - YOU MAKE THE COILS.

Seems to me that if there is any gain being created, you would get twice the amount of gain if you simply built an identical wheel holding identical magnets positioned on the opposite side of the coils. Meaning that the coils have magnets on both sides. Just saying...

YES VERY GOOD IDEA - OR COILS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROTOR.

The way that Thane is running them needs some form of current control, a 3000 rpm bench grinder motor will smoke very quickly at 70 rpm if there is not current limiting.

USE A VARIAC TO CONTROL I/P OR A 600 W CEiLING FAN SPEED CONTROLER.
