There are times in the vid that the LEDs light with very little motion of the rotor. It does seem that there is a power source. Because at those times, the led seems to do mor than just a very quick flash.

Im still on our little project. I have not been able to get it running as shown.

But, Im messing with using the coil to generate a decently high voltage into a small cap and discharging it into another coil of fewer turns and very low ohms. Like the Tesla Gas Engine Igniter pat and the Ozone pat, which are literally the same. Just a different purpose at the output.

I had the rotor going pretty well with a small neon transformer using an AV plug to charge a small cap, .1uf to 1uf testing,  and it turns pretty good. The NT input is 45ma using just 1 leg of the secondary to the AV plug.

Im now trying to use a Trisil which breaks down at 120v that will be in series with the reed switch. The reed when closed wont conduct till the cap is at or above 120v. So im trying different caps to get the timing of the 120v charge inline with the rotor rpms needed.Smaller the cap, the higher the rpm. For example, a large cap will take longer to get to 120v, so the reed switch may not pass any current multiple times before the cap reaches 120v. So just a big pulse every so often.

Im getting some good charge from the bifi using the shorting method with little drag. So I feel good about it all. will see.  ;]  It might be that the charge coil will just charge a larger cap and power the NT input, being it only needs a bit more than an LED current to run in AV plug mode.

I get the lil NT from old scanners with the bright neon light tubes that light the scanning surface.  Just disassembled on a couple weeks ago, but no transformer. The tube was replaced by a strip of led's RGB throughout the strip. Nice strip to have though. Can produce any color combo by adjusting the current to each of the colors.  I dont know why they would have them separately driven in the scanner though when white is all that is needed.

Hi Mags,
    I agree with you about the led flashing brightly (did not notice that) even though the rotor is starting up slow, there maybe a power source somewhere....
    About your project a video will be nice...   keep it up...

Hey CC
Yeah, the led's seem very bright for  the low rpms also. From my experience anyway.

One thing that had me thinking though..

When he has the reed real close to the coil, the reed doesnt light(the vid with the small reed)  It could be that the nut or top of bolt(assuming a battery in between) is causing magnetic distraction and the reed doesnt close when in that position.
If there is a battery, I would imagine that the reed would close in that position or a little off of the coil as shown. But it doesnt.   I have to look at them again. I will look for any led lighting when the reed is at 90%. If a battery, then it will light led's. If not, then why.
;]

Its a bit hard to just dismiss it for sure, for me. Just because there is more negative reaction to it than positive. I would rather that it were tried by a few before it is put to sleep, just to cure any doubts either way.  ;]

Will do some vids soon. Seems promising. But like Mavendex. He has been on that shell transformer for a long time now, and finally showing 130% eff. Very good.  Time is a big ingredient.

I just got finished for the night. I have to retract my statement on the led not lighting at low rpms. I can get it with a relatively slow magnet pass, with coil shorting, with a white led.

The motor in the vid would have to be using coil shorting to get those leds to light.

So right now I cannot say for sure that there is a battery yet from my led evidence.


So far Im getting just over 100v into a 1uf cap quickly at low rpms(350 or so.)
Ran a pulse motor to keep the rotor going for testing.

I tried looping with batteries. Batt no load 5.5v  with pulse motor 5.2  with loop 5.35.

First will be to get the motor eff.   When looped and I disconnect the batt, the caps voltage slowly drops with the motor. 2 uf total motor and charge section. I expected just a full drop, but it holds for about 5 seconds down to 3v and so on.  Im happy with that.

The gen section drag is very low.  I feel like im walking in Romero's footsteps a bit with the coil shorting and increased distance of the gen coil from the rotor(no backing magnets) and getting seemingly good results. At least better than expected from experience.

Hi Mags,
Time is indeed a major factor Having trouble finding some myself for this experiment. Given my 100s of hours with the Ossie motor reeds I'm dying to try this one. Thanks for the updates. Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a cap in either of these vids?
