I'm Just wondering if this has been tried or thought about ? What if we take a heavy flywheel mounted on a shaft with magnet bearings (frictionless bearings) then use an explosion to get it turning. and use a really low drag generator. It should run for really long time I don't know how long, maybe long enough to make it feasible. It would be nice to go out side every morning and throw a stick of dynamite in and make electric all day. Could it work ? Not OU but what the hell.
Ok I should Have called it an explosion powered generator,with a big heavy flywheel.You could start it up the way they use to start the old wwII airplanes.They tell me a big bang started the universe and it's still working. I'll name it the ( ExploGen ) I like it. Would it work ???
Take a look at this, not a flywheel but a magnet (or more magnets at the same time ) that get exploded in a ring and is allowed to fly around freely. Not the same but is has simularities.

Cheeryman,I looked @ the link, It looks possible. I would probably need some really really big mag to make the bearings=lots of dollars. I could try it scaled down and use a fire cracker to put energy in to it.Can any one point me to a chart that would tell me what size mags for the bearing would I need to suspend what size weight ? Is there such a chart. I see some of these toys on youtube using the bearing.

Shock impulses are said to lead to energy being "drawn out". Try Chas Cambell, the John Watson version of Bedini.

Thanks Paul-R, nice link a lot of info I'll look through it.
It looks like Chas Campbell already has the answer ? Magnetic bearings couldn't hurt.I could make it duel start. If you have mains power just use the DC drive motor to start. If your out in the woods use an explosion. That way I could still use the name (ExploGen) HA HA ..Thanks a lot..

If there is one thing that explodes, it is the stochiometric mix of
hydrogen and oxygen produced by the eccentric electrolysis
systems in Chapter 10. Zach West, Smack etc. Feed a bit into
some sort of piston/hammer device and give the flywheel a whack
as it goes round. But your Explogen will be noisy.
Paul-R There are many ways to make cheep powerful explosions to power the ExploGen . I'm not worried about the noise ,I could always put in under ground. If I'm lookin at this right I should be able to use an explosion to start the flywheel then switch over to a small DC motor to keep it going..It looks like I will will have to use regular bearings because the weight I'll be trying to suspend with mags would cost to much. Now to gather up all the parts this may take a while. I think a train wheel would make a nice flywheel.
By the way I'm just a regular guy no real special skills but I like to fix every things my self so I know a little about most things through hands on experience.Is there anyone in western Pennsylvania that may want to help with this project ?Let me know. Thanks..
You can put your flywheel inside a vacuum chamber and eliminate air friction.
The problem is: what is a "really low drag generator"?
A dragless generator doesn't exist. If there was such thing as a dragless generator, then the only thing needed would be a flywheel mounted on passive magnet bearings (frictionless bearings), inside a vaccum chamber.
Without drag in the generator, without friction in the bearings, and without air friction, the flywheel could spin forever, generating electricity.
But a dragless generator doesn't exist...
Rapadura, all of that is true but I don't care if it's not OU energy as long as it is cheep energy . If I lived by a water fall I would use it, if I lived by a fast moving water way I would use it. Some people do and don't use it?? I'm just looking for a way to get off the grid that would be cheaper than solar. And I think this could do it. Did you see the work of Chas Campbell ? I think he is telling the truth. Explosions are cheep but the way we are using them in our cars are not very efficient. So if I use an explosion to start a large heavy flywheel then use a small electric motor to keep it going even if I had to add a few explosions a day it would be ok with me..*(Explogen)
