STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

The core in the tiny orbo is 26 AGW. I have some massive 10 AGW solid copper wire, but needs pliers and some muscle to bend it. Just afraid I'll crumble my poor nanocrystalline metglas core trying to wind it. Any suggestions? Maybe use stranded wire, or add about 100 times more 37 turn layers *in-parallel* to reduce the cores wire resistance?

I can hardly wait till you guys get your metglas magamp cores. With all of your equipment, the results will eventually be amazing. My tiny orbo wobbles, probably because there's only one core on one side, so the magnet pulls toward one side. If there were two cores, then the forces would balance out. Well, if precision work was done. And you can feel the air swirling due to the spinning magnets. So much room for improvements.

Hey, here's a thought. If there's something under the Steorn toroid top layer, maybe it's other windings *in-parallel* to reduce the losses from wire resistance!

When the tiny orbo is turned off at ~ 4000 rpm, the voltage produced by the magnets on the core / coil is 10mV peak. That's balanced pretty good. Could be a bit better. There are a few more windings at the top than the bottom. I'd imagine if the core is rotated a bit then most of that will go away. The remaining could be fixed by evenly spacing the wires in the winding.

People, large capacitors, especially supercapacitors have tremendous dielectric absorption. You *cannot* use the capacitors voltage reliably until after the capacitor has had a long time to rest. I did a detailed datalogging investigation into this -->

Interesting super cap data, I wonder if the losses would have been less if the discharge was slower.
I was thinking the cap should work if it was setup like in RF circuits.
Something like a super cap in parallel with a good electrolytic in parallel with a few .1uf ceramic caps.
I know the battery is easier at this point, but in time you know where it will end!

An excellent idea!!!!!
