Oh, I see what you saying.  Sure there is drag. But once the rotor gets up past I think it was 1200 or 1400 rpms, there was a speed up zone where lenz lets go. Thats what I believe was meant by lenz delay and all that.   And at those upper rpms is where the thing was able to run by itself. Not at other rpm ranges.

Magzzzz

Yes you're right. Without speed it's not possible to make this thing run...

And this -

The coil resistance is 286 Ohms. My L meter is broken and I cannot give u more details about it.
The yellow capacitor is 0.47uf/275volts, connected in series with the reed switch.
Having the coil closer will slow down the speed of the rotor.
I don't see much difference if using a full wave rectifier.
In the latest videos I did't have the recovery diode connected to the battery.

I have tried a solid state switching but it is not working as the reed does.
I have discovered a new way to do the switching without the reed, it is with only one extra component that does the switching... it is amazing... I have to understand it a bit more then I will talk abut it more.
I am also working to get the same effect from a AC source, no more rotor and magnets, it looks good already.
My time is not allowing more testing today but maybe tommorow

What would you give to know the "one extra component" ?

Penno

@penno64 "one extra component" ?

I will answer that question before people will go crazy again... that experiment was done before the muller experiment while I was posting under a shorting coil tread, somewhere here on this forum.
Actually you had the answer more than one year ago but who really cares?

The component is a diode, what diode or what type you will have to find out, I will not go again thru all pain I had before.
Here on this forum and other forums too, are many smart people that can understand and take this further.
I am a practical person not that good to elaborate formulas, theories and so many calculations that most of the time are done considering existing or known laws of physics.

Best regards to all,
Romero

 Here's something that may or may not have any bearing on what you guys are trying to do, notice in this vid it seems a magnet has (for lack of a better word)a gate, notice as he moves the magnet around the toroid he marks the small magnet and it always attracts at the same spot on the small magnet and seems to repel everywhere else.

Not sure if its relevant but thought I would bring it to your attention.

Good to see you around Romero

Thank you Romero,

Nice to know you still pop in.

Don't suppose youd care to elaborate on -

Personally I do the shorting at the sine peak just because I can get the maximum power, but you are right, I have tested with 3 reed switches positioned differently and I do get more spikes.
The reed switching is good enough for testing only but for a long lasting device must use solid state components.
I have also tried to short the wave all the way,multiple times, positive and negative using a 555  driver and i've got nice results.
I am working on a different setup too where one coil(few turns) is shorting the main coil and I get power from it plus extra flux to accelerate the rotor. Syncronising the 2 coils is a very important factor.
I will talk about this ideea once I finish the other things on my list.
I am close to have it running just with a capacitor, time is the only problem I have... but soon

Kind Regards and keep well, Penno

p.s. again, thanks for the previous answer and yes, you did tell us - "diodes are wonderful things"!
