Hi all,

The brush holder for the coil brushes is adjustable +/- 45 degree from TDC. It can be adjusted with the motor running. It is on a round wood bushing sitting around the shaft bearing. The commutator blank spaces are 1.5X the width of the brushes and should not short out.

The 2 magnets are N48 1"X1" Neodymium with 87.6 lb of pull. The clearance between the magnets and the coil is 5mm. The rotor is made of carbon steel with a weight of 2lb.

To get more torque, beefier magnets would be needed but also a thicker magnet wire coil setup. As is the motor runs with 460VDC and 0.034A after tuning the motor/brushes setup. I don't have enough lead acid batteries to go that high in potential.

I will make a small alternator for the present motor and see if I can get as close to COP=1 as possible.

Take care,

Michel

P.S.: It will be easier to build a new motor than to mod this one. I don't feel like unwinding about 50,000 feet of awg31 magnet wire...

...I did my first replication last year and my second one is just done and getting ready to build the axial flux alternator to be coupled to it....

>>Hi all,

Michelinho has interesting photos unloaded to the forum, but my question is:
Is the schematic available for uploading or otherwise being rendered in ASCII keyboard notation?

Newman's patent, or application, #WO8300963, had a basic schematic in the drawings.  I had thought of trying to replicate it inexpensively with a 20" box fan arrangement similar to his patent/application or the Muller motor/generator.

Newman's work is shown on  http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk  (in .html)
