I have an idea to attempt replicatation of a Muller motor inexpensively...

[the_big_m_in_ok]

I had a 20" box fan laying around and after seeing Muller's work on the 'Web, I thought a box fan could be variable enough to present combinations of power generation schemes for not a lot of money.

The fan has a removable front and back side.  On the inside of both sides can be mounted standoff mounts for whatever coils you like.  To each fan blade can be mounted a magnet of your choice, or, for more complication, a set of electromagnets with movable slip rings.  These (electro)magnet(s) must weigh the same to balance the fan against vibration.

Power output/efficiency can be measured by the usual means.  Power storage methods are a matter of choice.

Edmund Scientific in the U.S.A. sells surplus parts that might be useful.  They have an Internet site to order from.  Digi-Key and All Electronics are first-line distributors of electronics parts.  They also have 'Web catalogs.

The reader can decide upon the level of funds expenditure and complication that is necessary to experiment with.


ATTENTION:
I'm relocating to another city on 6/3/09.  My ability to answer posts may be delayed for a while as a result.

Will be back later.

I'm living in San Francisco, CA, USA now.  Limited funds just to pay rent and buy food.

No camera or scanner on the\is library computer. 

Tito, I recognize, is a European, and may not be familiar with the American industry standard 20" box fan to be used as an inexpensive summer air conditioner?  Wal-mart sells them in American for about $12.00.  Sorry, no picture to upload!

Besides, it was just a thought experiment to organize my mental impressions.  Best I can do with what I have.
