Hear that sound...?
That's the sound of billions of souls praying and working for PEACE.
Unfortunately the "outer" world is simply a reflection of our collective "inner" world.
So, here's to hoping we have our act together finally. 

Cheers & Merry Christmas
Thane

Thane, you are a character! ...and as Bill said, "all the world is a stage" so you are right,
lets act together, play our parts well to make this sorry world a better place, a place full of love and compassion, a place where a man's potential can generate a current of love and wellbeing for all.

... and a happy new year, Ron

Hello Thane

Another thanks for sharing your great work.

I am back from Africa where i participated to a  movie on animals with an electric motorised ultralight airplane.
I got 2 problems:

1.- the local generators were of so poor quality that it took me almost one day to recharge the 40 AH power battery
2.-it was so hot that it was almost impossible to cool the electric motor during and after the flights

And each day i told me that we can do better.
As the concentric bicoils works as a generator, would it be possible to reverse the system and use it as a motor ?   And in this case can we expect that by replacing the  HC coils of an existing brushless motor with a Thane's concentric bicoil the motor would run  cooler and more powerfull ? I am very inrterested to do some test in that direction.

I wish You all the best and happy new year

Laurent

DEAR LAURENT ET AL,

NICE TO SEE THAT YOU ARE "OUT OF AFRICA".
BUT I GUESS I HAVE NOT BEEN A VERY GOOD INSTRUCTOR...

THE CONCENTRIC BI-COIL IS BOTH AN AC MOTOR (HV COIL) AND AN ALTERNATOR (HC COIL) ALL IN ONE.
WE HAVE ALL BEEN LOOSEY GOOSEY WITH THE CORRECT TERMS (an alternator = AC and a generator = DC)

THE HV MOTOR COIL WORKS IN A SIMILAR FASHION AS AN AC INDUCTION MOTOR WHERE THE "ROTATING" STATOR FIELD IS REPLACED WITH PERMANENT MAGNETS.

ONE COULD ALSO THINK OF THE HV COILS AS A MODIFIED HALLBACH ARRAY   https://www.llnl.gov/str/Post.html BUT WITH A TWIST - WHERE THE HV COILS "MOTORIZE" THE ROTOR.

AS OF NOW WE HAVE GONE TO A LOCAL TRANSFORMER COMPANY WHO WILL BE MANUFACTURING THE CONCENTRIC BI-COILS FOR US AND WE SHOULD SOON BE ABLE TO SHIP THEM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO "PLAY" AROUND AND EXPERIMENT - NOT TO MENTION ANYONE WHO WANT TO BUILD A FULL SCALE ALTERNATOR...

CHEERS
Thane

MR.HEINS
   SWEET!!

Victoria can now be considered as part of Canada...

Not sure it will show up in the reply, but that's a beautiful photo of Canada!  I live in Los Angeles, California, USA, and can hardly wait till Feb. 2010 to go to the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!
