When impedance measured in hundred of ohms then no way to speak about getting any useful energy - you can get great figures on your voltmeter, nice figures and funny curves on the screen of oscilloscope - not much more. I do measure the impedance of my motors/generators in Milliohms - of course those are not overunities - just hight efficient machines.
Anyway - high interesting attend closely to what you are doing,
I hope success for you,

Wow!  Very nice setup.  Can you describe the torque on your second version with more detail?

Hi carbon_cc,

Sorry I can't say much about torque because I am still running it at about 40% of its input potential. I expect to run it at 250-300 volts and so far I limited it to 108 v but still I get good torque. My current power supply only does +/- 18 volts with center tap so too low for this version. I bought a high voltage variable power supply from Ebay that does 0-350 v but it is still at my US mailing address. I had to connect all my lead acid batteries in serie to get that 108v.

When I get it, I'll do a little test for torque mesurement, hope I know someone who has a digital scale, mine is an old lab one with a set of Standard Weights.

Safe day to you,

Michel

If the torqe is good at that voltage shouldn't you be able to mechanically gear up/down the altenator to 200 RPMs?

Hi kahbe,

I played with rc models and modified motors in my cars. That was a fun part of the rc trill. Shimming magnet back to move them a few thousand on an inch closer to the rotor, almost at the point of touching. Those are high power electrical motors.
The Newman Motor is different. It is a high efficiency engine, not because of it strong torque low, because of it input/output ratio of energy consumption. The drawbacks of the Newman motor are numerous and also the reason why it is not pick up my the mainstream industry. It has to be BIG and HEAVY to make any significant work but most of all, its rotational speed is and will always be to low for most motor application. That I don't deny.

The Newman motor will never compare in every day life to the small high efficiency electric motors available today and most other OU contraption out there. That's not why we try to make them work.

Now, for fun let's do the impossible...
