New LaFonte Group generator design

[capthook]

Looks interesting, but don't fully understand what you are showing.

Your very nice (but very short) 3d animation on youtube text says:
"All elements of this design are proven in tests and are posted on this site in various videos."
Can you direct us to other vids on this concept?
Describe a little more of the concept?

I see the stator upper/lower bars are pre-magnetized by the end magnet and wrapped with coils.
The rotor enters in between the bars - and there is a ?fixed element? in there also.  More details on the fixed element?  What is it - steel?  Is it attached to the bars?
Can you expand on the theory of operation?

Thanks for sharing!

Capthook,
The fixed element composition will vary with the energy of the magnet. The fixed element will need to saturate at a point that leaves half of the field available for the rotor magnet. The air gaps between the poles of the fixed element is filled with a nonmagnetic material such as plastic for a means of mounting it in place. A two rotor version eliminates the fixed rotor.
Also have you read the text in the drawing I posted to this thread just above.
I will get together a list of links on youtube for you also.
Also the air gap between the rotor element and fixed element is to large in the animaton and is being changed at this time.

Hi Butch
I eventually got to understand the genny,I don't know if it will work or not,you obviously think it will,but either way,a clever idea!!!

Peter,
The moving and fixed elements can be replaced by permanent magnets and the permanent magnets in the stator eliminated.
This is just another of several configurations.
