Joule Motor

[Lynxsteam]

A mechanical means of activating the transistor was my last choice.  Since this was a weekend project and using scraps I was limited.  Also, I didn't know exactly what the timing needed to be.

I am not sure a trigger coil within the main coil will be precise enough.  The transistor needs to switch on and off at a precise point in rotation.
Also there is a lot of stray magnetism so my efforts with a magnetic pickup were foiled.

The main coil needs to fire just after TDC and can remain on or be pulsed for part or most of the rest of the rotation to BDC.  The timing of turning off the transistor dictates when the flyback will occur. The flyback coil can be timed as an attraction force just before BDC, or a repelling force just after BDC.  This is responsible for the "sound" you hear in the video.  The flyback is like a kick.

Now, this is the part I haven't studied enough:  When the flyback coil fires current will flow in the coil.  At that very moment the magnets are inducing a current to flow in both coils.  It would be best that this flyback current direction is the same as the induced current.  Since we can orient and time the flyback either way we should pick the best setup.

I am only so good with the left hand rule.  And since this is an aircore the coil legs are fluxed as the magnet passes the leg, not the center.  So actually there are eight AC generator pulses per rotation if it isn't being powered by DC.  When powered there are maybe only 7 AC generated pulses.

Hi Lynxsteam and  Ou dot Com People,

I agree with MeggerMan: this looks like a Bedini/Cole Window motor.
This 'Lynx Joule Motor' sounds like a simplified one.

BTW: IMO, simplifying thing is more complicated that making it more complex as
it needs more creativity. Is it not?
I would bet that, with some modifications, this 'Lynx Joule Motor' might be able to
run on cap only...

--------------------------
About the Window motor:
A guy named 'Mike' had build such a modified motor and claimed to run it on capacitor only.

I replicated this device as accurately as possible.
I even used this 'Crouzet Relay'.

This motor has a bifilar coil and another 'monofilar' one:

It worked very well but with a battery!
Anyway, while 'chopping' this battery with a Reed Relay I was able to
run my motor without (apparently depleting the battery) and this
without any 'intentional' circuitry.... Go figure...
 
You might consult my very shambolic web folder:

At this time, my "'replicative' motivations" were huge.
Now, I'm a little bit  fed up.

Very Best from Brest,

Lynxsteam: 

I will just take this as far as it goes and see if the motor can be made to be hyper efficient.  Its kind of silly to take 9-12 volts and charge a 9-12 volt battery.  But if ever there was a way to get close to Unity this is the route I would take. 

Good for you, Lynx!  You're off to a great start IMO.   I'd like to see where you take this.  Thanks for the clear and interesting videos.

The non-symmetrical motor and the Bedini motors have renewed interest lately.  Perhaps a bit of a horse race?  we'll see.  I'm pulling for ya, Lynx.

  LynxSteam:
  Thanks for showing us your new motor set up.
 
  I have a question about the idea of running the "no transistor" circuit using just plain leds, not the 12v or the 110v store bought bulbs ones. Just the common everyday smaller 3.6v leds, mounting many of them in series using 12v with your inverter type of coil set up, but using NO transistor. Do you think that it can be made to work like a 12v Jtc, but without the transistor. Would it work that way to light many leds? I know that transistors are cheap, but, IF it can be made work without them, that would be interesting also, and easier to build.

The window motor is a lot like the Bedini ssg.  Except it has an additional generator coil.  It can be a two pole rotor or multi pole rotor.  It has a very short pulse duration triggered by a separate coil as a magnet passes.  I like it because it is not steel cored.
I looked up the asymmetrical UFO motor design and it is very intriguing, but very much like a typical wound steel cored motor.  I am not clear on the "witch" and the unidirectional flow of DC.  It sounds right, but I am not sure electrons care which way they go.
Perhaps a fault with the design I am proposing is the long duration "on" time of the power coil.  The other fault is the need for some type of trigger, commutator or switch to turn on the transistor.
There really is no need to make an expensive clunky motor unless it is remarkable in some way.  That's what I am exploring.
