TinMan Generator Research Moderated Topic

[tinman]

In this modified universal motor configuration, when one uses the stator coils only as generator coils and only allows the induced rotor coil current pulses to go in one (correct) direction, it will assist the rotor and at not cost of current to the rotor coil input.


Best for me not to explain this yet as I've got a lot of things going on at this time. It will all come together soon.

Thanks for sharing that

No power is required

Sorry Luc,i wasnt clear enough with my question.
Using a power supply,how much power is drawn from that power supply to get the bulb to light to that brightness. It looks like the bulb is a 12 volt brake/tail light combo bulb,as i see to elements in there.

Modifications need to be made to the rotor commutator, brushes and timing to get this effect.

Like i said-it is good that some one took notice.

Okay, it takes about 9vdc @ .385a = 3.474 Watts to light it to about the same.

Yes, you got the bulb right. I'm using the tail element as the brake element would only glow. However, the rpm would go up more but I chose to show more light.
