Homopolar Generators (N-Machine) by Bruce de Palma

Hi gravityblock


Great idea!
Everything is floating inside aetheric boiling waters with energy bubbles coming out of singularity,
creating electromagnetic pressure differentials, waves, vortices, streaming flows with all kinds of interactions between them.
It is logical to construct a complex 3D geometry to guide random eather streams of energy along paths of least resistance or
the opposite, ways we can build a virtual clockwork that can harness energy fluctuations from the eatheric environment.

Sacred geometry, genuine designs from crop circles...

I wonder how would a fractal 3D shape behave as an antenna on top of a Tesla coil?

Do you remember Arecibo reply glyph?

And here is a crop circle rconstruction site of Zef Damen - great for inspiration on the geometry!

The logarithmic spiral is the shortest spiral with the maximum electromagnetic torque. 

OK, then, GB, that's what I had in mind when I picked up a roll of bare #8 copper wire to form the spiral arms.  I figured that by starting with a 2" copper pipe cap, I could then radially array as many of the individual bent pieces of wire as would fit, even tapering the center ends to pack as many as possible into the plane.   By spacing the outer tips exactly, I would set a perimeter band of Cu to pick power off with a brush.

As far as laying out the radials so they create the opposite rotation, might the pair of disks benefit from an additional magnet disk between the two, joined at the outer rim, and picking power from the center caps?

Still haven't made any progress in the last year, but all the parts remain on the bench

Yes, but you will need two magnets in opposition if you plan on picking power from the center caps ( --N/S--S/N ), or one magnet if you plan on picking power from the center and the rim (assuming of course I understand your question correctly).  The spiral discs I plan on creating will be somewhere between 6" - 12" in diameter.  A 6" - 12" diameter magnet will be too expensive to incorporate into my design, so this is why I'll be stacking the spiral discs in series to form a large cylinder without the use of any external magnets.  It takes approximately 867 aluminum cans to produce 10 lbs. of aluminum.  So, the thickness, diameter, number of cans, and the number of spirals on each disc will determine the overall diameter and length of the cylinder.

Yes, it will take three magnet disks with polarity properly aligned.  The center one must float, staying aligned with the outer two.  I thought of a significant pair of neos, one on the center's perimeter, and the other outside the Cu band, held stationary.  Not simple, but it allows stacking disks and economy of fields.

One-piece magnets are out of the question (not enuf turtlebuks) so I have a stack of 1x4x1/2" neos to array. I would think that since the Cu disks really are a collection of "strings", that a solid magnet would not be as important.

I also think the greatest power will be picked in close proximity to the magnet fields.

I ain't built it yet

Built some more test device configurations this time with 1.25" copper pipe in a drum type configuration to more easily test out some different ideas.  I put steel in center for shaft with 6 of those n35 magnets 2"x.5"x.125" all with n pole facing out wards through surface of cu tube.  Placed a piece of steel pipe 1.25" diameter x 2" long that fit perfectly over copper over the center of the copper tube directly over magnets to concentrate flux through copper tube.  Spun it all at 1400rpm and get 14mv dc with brush locations as close to center on either side of steel pipe as possible.  Put a 10 ohm resistor across contacts to ensure it wasn't brush noise but is definitely unipolar induction not noise. 
Then I tried same setup but with 3 of the magnets north facing out through the copper and on other side 3 with s pole facing out to test the AC homopolar gen idea which seemed like great potential for number of reasons.  I spun it at 1400rpm and got AC as expected! 
Here is where it gets interesting.....
I found that there was a great deal of magnetic flux all around this thing that was inducing current in external cct and could be generating false output so I wrapped the center of the thing over the steel pipe with a few pounds of paddle wire to contain all the flux in center as it was saturating the steel over jacket in center previously.  When I spun it I ago no measurable AC output.  This is consistent with what I saw when trying to close the flux thru disc previously in disc style AC test. 
I have one more test to do with closed flux in dc config to confirm but it is looking like this only may work if The brush cct cuts the return flux from magnet.  Interesting because that portion of cct is what would experience the back torque due to Lorenz force.  More to come!
