Magnetic amplification and neutralization motor by Art Porter

[LarryC]

Hey Larry,

Have you got a file you could email me - save recreating the setup ?

Regards, Pen

Sorry, all files are deleted.

I can still see the menu, but I can't use. So my best guess is to:

First use the Add flux sources - Straight permanent magnet.

Second use the Add magnetic regions - Rectangular region.

Third use the Add flux sources - Straight solenoid.

I am attaching my analysis of the Magnacoaster design. The only difference should be the removal of the bottom magnet and the width and strength of the magnet, cores and solenoid coils.

Regards, Larry

PS: Play with the parameters, use the help, enjoy, take your time and get back to us when you can see the general working of Art's setup. We can perfect it later.

Hi Darkspeed
Thanks for your prompt reply,I like your sense of humor,so around 1khz would be ok,the welding rods you mention are gas rods? copper coated? don't they need to be coated with insulation before they are bundled?

Dont mean to intrude on Larrys thread but i wanted to answer..

Thanks,
you can lay them out flat and spray them with bbq grill paint then wrap them with Kapton tape if you want to be safe
1khz at a limited power.. The more flux and or frequency of flux change the hotter they will get.
You can also use thin wall pipe or tubing as well.

@darkspeed,

Please don't worry about intruding on my thread, all who wish to help, please do so freely. Darkspeed, you have passed along some new knowledge (Kapton tape, bifilar relay solenoids) to me and others, as i"m sure we can all pass some knowledge that will help with this project.

@All,

Observations on the metal arc. Of course it has screws on top to secure it to the post, but it also has crossbolts along the side, which seem to indicate that it is composed of arc metal lamination's that are bolted together. Maybe sheet metal and coated or painted to prevent rust. Any other opinions?

Regards, Larry

Thanks Darkspeed
I done a few test today on the Art thing,nothing fancy,using mild steel,hence my questions,and it seems there is a gain to be had,if the distances,voltage,etc. are just right,as you said.My mags are crap,the steel is crap and the coil is crap,but in-spite of all that there seems to be something in it imho.I look forword to more of Larry's findings.I'll do some more tests and see if I can find something more definitive.

Well if you get serious about it. the material you want to use is called Vimvar it has a sat. ind. of 21,500 gausses, it is made by Carpenter www.cartech.com it is a vacuum melt low carbon magnetic. You can get it in rod shape from Ed Fagan Inc. I have used it in pulse motors and it is great stuff..


Also if you wind your electromagnet with c-200 wire and use the tesla bifilar wind it will be much more efficient.
