Very Very happy to hear Thanes work is to continue..

Yes Covey, we all like to think that we are masters of the situation but often it is that when we play a tune the 'man'
who is paying for it gets to say when it shall be played and
sometimes even if it will be played...

That could be the situation here... so we have to be patient
and see how this plays out....

Yes I_Ron you are so correct. Obviously Thane is not doing this out his garage so there are other supporting factors in play here. Considering his progress, the amount of materials involved, and the location involved there appears to be a fair amount of "outside" support so I am sure that support has some "say" in the matter.

The good news in all this, is that there really are no secrets being kept here. All the information needed to replicate Thanes work is posted here in this forum or in his YouTube videos.

If you are observant while watching Thane's YouTube video's (especially the earlier ones) you will notice he has things like schematics and magnet configurations on a white board behind him. All you have to do is freeze the video and do a screen capture, as many (if not most) of these drawings are quite legible at times.

Yes, this is true but if you have watched this unfold you see
Mr T has steadily grown his knowledge of this concept.
Starting from the flux through the motor shaft up to the
more refined combination HC/HV coil. So the early work will
give you an understanding but the latest concepts are the meat.

The 18 magnet rotor has gone through several incarnations
the latest being an acknowledgment that 18 magnets at 3300 RPM generates a very high frequency output, over 900 Hz.
Doubling up the magnets in a NNSS manner brings this back in alignment with 400 Hz iron cored transformers.

But this leaves a 'not the most efficient rotor', so room for improvement yet, either through different magnet shapes or a
lower RPM motor, ie: 1740 RPM RV.

So pay attention to the latest experiments and think how
you can achieve a similar build, knowing what we know now.

All the best,

Ron

Magnet poles ... First thing - 18 magnets cannot go NNSS because you will end up with NNNN at the end. T made it clear that he wants to increase amount of the magnets in order to increase pulse frequency and reduce min working rpm. His las video demonstrates some 50khz per coil if magnets are NSNS @  3000rpm. His 18 magnet rotor is most likely NSNS or possibly NNNSSS but this is unlikly considering the fact that he was looking for frequency increase. I wish T could put his word on this particular matter.
