Hilden-Brand Magnet Motor

[Honk]

Hello again Jack.
Your motor is truly a wonderful invention and I wish you all the best.
But I have some questions that I'd like to get answered if you feel like it.

1) You mentioned that you only had oriented silicon steel from transformers
   but you really needed not orirented steel to reach maximum efficiency.
   Quote" I have since found out that the silicon steel from transformers is
          oriented strand silicon steel laminate...and that motors constantly
          change north/south polarity and will not run if built with oriented
          strand silicon steel" End Quote.
   But isn't this wrong. Transformers must also change polarity or they wouldn't work.
   Maybe you just mixed up your thoughts when writing it down?


2) You told us that your lastest 4-5Hp motor will probably use 400W of input power.
   And it's using large powerful N48 neo magnets. The N48 magnet valve use 8 watts.
   If the valves just take 8W to turn on then why do you need 400W for your motor?
   I do understand that the motor will use somewhat more current when loaded down.
   But your earlier motors only increased the current by approx 40% when loaded.
   This would mean that you should be able to run your new 5Hp motor at a lot less
   power than 400 watts, or am I missing something here?

I not trying to get to nosy in your design plans, I'm just plain curious.

Best Regards / Honk

Wow ... very nice work Jack ...

I sincerely look forward to your success because, especially in this "game", when you win we all win! :-)

Hello Honk,

[yorkshireminer]

Dear Jack,
                 what a nice piece of work, it is nice to see that there are still people in this world that take an inordinate pride in craftsmanship. I have this sneaky feeling that you started work all those years ago in the heavy metal bashing industry in the maintenance section, and studied at night school. Enough of this idle speculation. What struck me most when I saw the drawings and read the explanation of your magnetic flux switch was the simplicity of it, always a good indication that it will work. I am intrigued to see how you rotor is built and have speculated that it might be possible to use your magnetic flux switches firing them by inducing a EMF in the coils surrounding them as the rotor passes the magnets in the stator, thus increasing the power of the machine still further. It is just a thought Jack. I have thought of one application that perhaps you had not thought of. I live in Holland where still a large proportion of the population commutes by bike. Perhaps a Hilden-Brand motor built into the back wheel with a generator built into the pedal crank to generate the electricity to drive the motor would take the E out of effort and the H out hard when peddling. It could make a Lance Armstrong out of all of us. Think of the Headlines 60 year old  American inventor wins the Tour de France. May I congratulate you once more on your beautiful piece of work and I am looking forward to you posting the results in this thread, hopefully with a video. I hope that you and your wife had an enjoyable week end break.


Deep Regards

nice idea but to generate like 200 watt on a bike still is A LOT of work. You'll be peddling like crazy
