Homopolar Generators (N-Machine) by Bruce de Palma

[Foggy-Notion]

The US Navy is using them in its
new class of warship:

ah, so that's what the 'don't ask, don't tell' fuss was all about.

It seems odd of so many here, that nobody has tried this before now.
Once you get it together and running, will it run itself or just to try as a generator?

Good point, you don't see many, (or any) and only one video of it on youtube, using an aluminum disc, as of now,and he dare not speak about the actual current flow, only the voltage.  And as I said those whom erased Tesla's name from most school text books, also manage to ensure no Faraday Discs kits are sold in science hobby shops.  De Palma whom went public with his findings, is dead.  Hmmmmm?  ok, no need to post your results if the formentioned intimdates you, for me it all but confirms the output current rumors.  So lets just build them and use lots of smiley faces in other posts, if we liked the results. (wink)

Some info about Tesla seems to indicate that it might, but that is not what I'm concerned about.

If  the machine can put out thousands of amps at two or three volts, driven by a comparatively small motor, that hi-amp lo-volt output can be directed to a separating electrolyser for H2 production, 24/7.

H2 has more potential uses than low voltage, in my applications

Hi keithturtle,

Are you using strong NdFeB magnets?

Yes.  I have two primary sources; you get what you pay for

and  http://www.kjmagnetics.com/  these guys are good, and email specials ease the pain a bit.

Some on-line specials with other merchants proved disappointing.  Stick with magnet people.

Any way you go, you will have copius turtlebucks tied up.   

It's only time and money...

Turtle, wearing out the overtime at the mill

If it works with OU results, you can be assured that it will not be buried this time.
