Re Hoptoad's: "My experiments revealed that the non linear counter-MMF reaction of an open magnetic configuration, has the effect of extending the efficiency range of the alternator over a much greater load demand, as compared to a closed system."

Excellent, that's the objective information I think we need. Would you be in a position to share those results with us so that we can quantify the benefits of this technology? Efficiency vs load range, with and without the device. That would certainly clear the fog!

... what is apparent is that if something from the generator gets into the motor the motor becomes more powerful...

Aether, I have carefully read and re-read the postings; and I have carefully viewed and re-viewed the videos. There is no data anywhere in all of that which supports the idea that the motor becomes "more powerful". Speed is not the same thing as power - far from it. The simple, direct and objective test that I and others are suggesting would allow you to put some real numbers on this claim and so give you a sound basis for what you're saying. Measure the efficiency, with and without. That's all - simple.

BTW there has been a very generous donation to help cover a portion of the shipping costs of sending Thanes spare setup to me and I have humbly accepted it.

I say this both as an additional thank you to the donor, a disclosure and most of all to encourage Thane to send it at his earliest convenience. (I guess I just want to verify Thane has not (metaphorically) got cold feet)

DEAR AETHER22,

CONTACT KIM CUNNINGHAM AT OCRI - INTRODUCE YOURSELF GIVE HERE YOUR ADDRESS - WE WILL WEIGHT THE MOTOR AND KIM WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE SHIPPING WILL BE. http://www.ocri.ca/

SOUND FINE?

That you have replied to other messages since I asked if you were still going to send the generator my way but not replied to mine gives me an uneasy feeling, say it ain't so. (I guess I am probably just being overly anxious)

AETHER22,

DOES THE MOTOR VOLTAGE/FREQUENCY MIS-MATCH CONCERN YOU AT ALL?

Sounds great, only don't weigh the motor it's self since it won't run on my 240v 50hz current, will be far better for me you use a bench grinder I can source locally.
