Homopolar Generators (N-Machine) by Bruce de Palma

Hi

This configuration should give a bipolar AC 50Hz at 3000 rpm, it would be interesting to analyze with an oscilloscope waveform, may also connect a voltage transformer with an appropriate ratio, 1> 10, or 1> 100 seconds needs.

With respect to the DC faraday generator, how significant was the fact that Bruce's magnetic field was created by numerous hexagonal magnets?   There was really no other way to make that large a field, and I doubt my 56 magnet array of round magnets would work at all.

Is a large single-winding electromagnet a better approach?

If there is any unevenness in the field it will cause the electron to have a voltage gradient across the disk. New currents will form and reduce periphery voltage.

The path of least resistance gets the most current flow. In this case the electrons see a path, within the disk, of much less resistance than your external load would have.

@ AngryScientist

A few questions:

Magnet and disk running together?
The waveform was monitored with an oscilloscope?
You can post a picture of your experiment?

Some considerations:

In the AC generation, fields must rotate with the disk, magnets and disk are coupled together.
I think that studying AC generation can understand the secrets of the Homopolar Faraday Disk.

Archer Enterprises has achieved excellent results with this setup ...
