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

[Groundloop]

@broli,

I think I have explained what I have done.

I used pulsed DC to control the toroids via the Rosmary Anslie pulse circuit.
I run from a 12 volt battery.
I have NOT had the time yet to do any input or output measurements.
I have not taken any scope shots yet.

I have done one observations so far, the generator coil has zero volt when I remove
the magnets. The generator coil has plenty of volts when the magnets are there. This proves
that the toroid coils DO switch the magnetic field on and off to some extent. And, THAT
is the important feature on this test circuit.

I need some sleep now, been up for two days working on this circuit.

Groundloop.

Oke thanks for the clarification and your dedication. Things are getting more interesting by the day in here.

Thanks 4 all the help on the drill press. It fixed itself. While doing a test run a bunch of black rubber began flying out of it, and then a rubber round fitting connected to a pointer (that I never use) dropped, and now it drills perfect holes, lol.

Another question. My ball bearing ID is 0.125" diameter, but if I place a rod that's 0.125" it's a sloppy fit. Then I found a 0.127" ID rod, and it's better, but still a sloppy fit. What size rod should I get?

Thanks for any help.

BTW congrats to all of the Orbo replications! Looks like 2010 will be the year of the open-sourced Self-Runners.

Members on this forum,

My solid state Orbo generator is completed.

First test:

Connected power to oscillator, adjusted oscillator, no magnets on the coils, output was zero volt.
Attached N35 Neo magnets (crappy magnets) and the output was 180 Volt AC no load voltage.

Will be back soon with more testing.

Groundloop.

have you valuate the possibility to use two magnets recovered from the magnetron of a microwave oven, that is probably more close to the toroid size?

Did anyone do a torque comparison by using a rubber band and comparing how much it stretches for pulling the rotor 10 degrees for instance. Comparing slightly energized to fully energized beyond core saturation to non energized. The torque difference might be small. But by adjusting the current one might get a sense on how net torque relates to current and at least prove simulations wrong by showing there's a torque difference.
