Thane, have you tried a single coil on the inside of the wheel, the side the motor is on. (so the action end of the coil is pointing away from the motor)

Were the results similar to it being on the other side?

I ask because if it is about as effective then it will be an easier setup, I won't need to raise the bench grinder or the coil above the table surface, I can just run the wheel over the edge of the table.

This will make things decidedly easier.

Thanks.

note: figured I should repost so it doesn't get buried.

YES THIS SETUP WORKS VERY WELL BUT WHEN YOU DEMO IT YOU MAY HAVE LEARNED PEOPLE TELLING YOU THAT THE GENERATOR COIL IS INTERFERING WITH THE MOTOR'S STATOR COIL (SEE TRUE STORY # II) AND CAUSING ACCELERATION - WHICH MEANS IT DOES NOT WORK.

The level of desperation, or (and?) stupidity from these people is nothing short of astounding.

It doesn't take even a technically competent person to spot from a mile off who's full of it.

Do these people believe their own excuses? Next time you hear such a claim please ask the person 'how honest do you feel tight now in giving that answer? Do you feel that is an intellectually honest answer?'

It's impressive that you still bother with these people at all to find the odd gem you have.

1st is Thanes magnetic coupling to the induction motor
2nd is the 2 cores between the third core wich is shorted
3rd is the hpg's

all with verry low backtorque

WILLIAM YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION:

THE GENERATOR COUNTER-TORQUE WHEN MAGNETICALLY COUPLED TO THE INDUCTION MOTOR IS CONVERTED INTO COMPLIMENTARY-TORQUE WHICH HAS THE EFFECT OF ACCELERATING THE MOTOR UNDER LOAD RATHER THAN DECELERATING IT.

IS THAT CLEAR?
YOU ACTUALLY WANT HIGH BACK/COUNTER TORQUE.
SAY AMEN OR SOMETHING PLEASE.

I thought that was the whole point of the first video to demomstate that the generator is interfering with the motor and increasing it's torque. Maybe giving your presentation a title like "Torque augmentation of a squirrel cage induction motor by axial flux injection" might make it more clear Not that it isn't clear anyway.
