Is Larry really gay?

No, I'm not gay, but I would gayly love to stomp your punk ass in the ground. If you're going to make these kinds of personal accusations for a cheap laugh, you should be man enough to do it in person instead of hiding behind the internet.

you stated that your motor speeded up when you shorted out the HV coil, can you please tell me what happens if you place a normal 120v 60w filament lightbulb across the coil as a load instead of creating a dead short? dose it still speed up?

Sure, I'll try that tomorrow as we have a line of thunderstorms coming thru right now. I run my test outside under my house (up on pilings) in case the setup turns into a neo claymore mine thrower per Luc/Thane.

Oh, come on... I'm just looking for someone to catch me up on what's going on so that I don't need to spend six hours reading... I don't REALLY think you're gay... not that there is anything wrong with that...

Quotewith the HC coils connected to the lamp and the motor slows down due to the power draw of the lamp, can you please tell me how much wattage the lamp consumes? and is this lamp wattage directly related to the extra wattage the motor needs to turn the extra load?

GENERATOR OUPUT POWER DEPENDS ON MOTOR SPEED - BUT LUC AND I HAVE SEEN 20 WATTS FROM OUR 2 HIGH CURRENT COILS - AT ABOUT 2000 RPM IN ACCELERATION MODE WITH ABOUT 130 WATTS INPUT TO THE MOTOR.

AND NO THE MOTOR WILL STALL WITH 200 WATTS GOING TO THE MOTOR AND ONLY 4 WATTS OF COUNTER TORQUE PROVIDED BY A LOAD RESISTOR (OR THE LAMP) - DUE TO THE ROTOR'S LEVER ARM LENGTH.  TORQUE = FORCE x LEVER ARM

IN THE LATEST VIDEO LUC POSTED ON YOUTUBE WE DID THE ABOVE 200 WATTS IN AND NO WATTS OUT (VIRTUAL STALL). THEN ACCELERATED THE SYSTEM WITH THE HV COILS AND PRODUCED ABOUT 4 WATTS THROUGH THE LIGHT WITH ONLY 160 OR SO WATTS.

Quotenow with the HV coils: please can you explain why you are using 4 LED's instead of a filament lamp? as i understand that LED's are very low voltage lamps that consume only miliwatts, how many watts are they drawing from the high voltage coils while the motor speeds up? (i'm guessing that you had to put high value resistors in series with the led's)

TO HELP DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HIGH CURRENT COIL ENGEGEMENT AND HIGH VOLTAGE.

IT'S NOT ABOUT WATTS FOR US RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT LOAD AND THE EFFECT IT HAS ON THE PRIME MOVER. I.E. THE LIGHT BULB = 1 ohms = VERY HIGH LOAD AND THE LEDS ARE ABOUT THE SAME - VERY CLOSE TO A DEAD SHORT (VERY HIGH LOAD).

NOPE, NO RESISTORS - THEY WOULD ONLY REDUCE THE EFFECT - AND I AM VERY SURPRISED THEY HAVE LASTED AS LOND AS THEY HAVE.

Quoteplease can you explain how the motor reacts if using a filament lamp in place of the led's? have you tried this?

THE FILAMENT LAMP REQUIRES MORE CURRENT TO LIGHT UP THAN THE LEDS - THE HV COILS PRODUCE ALMOST NO CURRENT.

I HAVE STEPPED DOWN THE HV THROUGH A TRANSFORMER AND LIT A LIGHT BULB HOWEVER WITH GENERATOR ACCELERATION - JUST TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT.

Quotei'de be very interested in your findings.

I HOPE THAT IS HELPFUL.
