Looks like you guys are  footing around working yourselves up to a Searl solution?

apologies, but pardon?

Raburgeson, might be referencing the way the Searl looks similar to the magnet setup with the ring.

This would be a great HPG if you could find away to pick the current from the center of each moving ring to the stationary ring.

i appreciate you clearing that up for me, thanks

I just gave a fast read to the whole story u r proposing. I may have not grasp fully what r u after but if i got it right u want to spin the magnet around stationary disk? It will produce electricity in the circuit. I just found an experiment video here:

last vid on the right side.

In a simple HPG in my understanding there r two currents flowing. One is obvious in the circuit- the radial one. Second r the charges on the disk that make circular motions in m-field -axial current. An easy way to see it is to see the disk as a collection of co-centric and very thin rings. Spinning the ring is in fact equal to having a superconducting loop with a current in it. All charges in the ring will be under the m-field influence and will jump to the next outer ring etc. until they reach the brush and leave to the circuit.

So in a way the path of the electron is a spiral, much like an old good Vinyl plate.

heres a quick drawing, it has four horseshoe magnets, and four inductors on the armature (second picture added because first one was too small as you can see)

this will give us the rotation we want as far as the fields go, as well as the multiple poles. the only issue we have now is the best method to keep the inductors upright

@all, is there any way we could get this to work horizontal as opposed to vertical, because if there is a method that works horizontal then it will most likely work vertical as well

@creativity

do you think it will work?
