Re-Inventing The Wheel-Part1-Clemente_Figuera-THE INFINITE ENERGY MACHINE

Doug 1:
I am a lot older than I am willing to admit, however, way back in grade school, i learned that
steel was made for molten Iron ore that had oxygen blasted through it from the bottom. Here
is part of the definition from "Wikipedia."

"Steelmaking is the process for producing steel from iron and ferrous scrap. In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, and excess carbon are removed from the raw iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel. Limiting dissolved gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, and entrained impurities (termed "inclusions") in the steel is also important to ensure the quality of the products cast from the liquid steel.[1] There are two major processes for making steel, namely basic oxygen steelmaking which has liquid pig-iron from the blast furnace and scrap steel as the main feed materials, and electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking which uses scrap steel or direct reduced iron (DRI) as the main feed materials. Oxygen steelmaking is fuelled predominantly by the exothermic nature of the reactions inside the vessel where as in EAF steelmaking, electrical energy is used to melt the solid scrap and/or DRI materials. In recent times, EAF steelmaking technology has evolved closer to oxygen steelmaking as more chemical energy is introduced into the process."

Thanks to all for your efforts

If you don't mind, about how much did you pay for the iron bar stock?
It is totally OK If you don' want to divulge that information.
I have been trying to get a price from them on line, but, I haven't
called them.
I bought some small .5 inch round bar stock from one company
that, when tested my the "spark test" turned out to be polished
steel.
It worked as well as the "hot rolled steel" I used for my "Figeura"
project except for losses for being round instead of square that
fit the plastic spools.
In fact, I tried round ferrite, round steel, and square steel, and the
square steel won by a substantial amount. I am sure the reason
is that there was more steel in 1/2" square hole.

Good luck to all.

I have been thinking that it is easier to get two signals 90 out of phase with an alternator than relying on electronics, which are difficult to design and implement (at least for me). I have 3 ideas which seems to be very easy to test with just an old car alternator from scrapping:


   *** 1) Rewind a common three phase alternator (3 signals120º out of phase) in order to get a two phase output (2 signals 90º out of phase). Later each signals can be rectified with a diode to get two positive and opposite signals. Here I post links to two winding booklets (they are in spanish, but are easy to understand) with two phase winding diagrams for different number of poles and slots:

   *** 2) Use a common three phase alternator and then use a Scott Connection (T Connection) to convert the 3 phase output to a two phase output. A Scott T Transformer Connection is just two transformers with intermediate taps connection (see image attached below). Also very simple to implement. Some links:

   *** 3) Use a common three phase alternator to feed the Figuera generator. Maybe taking two signals at 120º won´t get a 100% optimized output but perhaps it may work too. Who knows... It is worth to try it. As you guess this is also very simple to test. 

I hope this could help everyone.

I paid 160.00 which included the shipping...
I'm about a couple of days from finishing up scraping the hard edges off...then I'll wrap them with 26 AWG ( primaries ) and 16 AWG ( secondaries )...
I still have a couple suppliers that I might approach if this batch of soft iron doesn't measure up.

Scrap yards still use electro magnets to lift scrap metal...
when the demand for soft iron comes back ( and I believe it will ). We will be on the fore front of the new wave of technology.

Hanon,
I've been thinking about 3 phases from the Clemente Fig. generator...
there are 7 transformers ---------14 primaries and 7 secondaries

Can/could one of the 7 secondaries recharge the battery...and the other 6 be paired to a 3 phase motor with each pair tuned with enough resistance and capacitance to the correct phase....Hope I worded that correctly...

All the best
