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

[RandyFL]

The three-phase system was independently invented by Galileo Ferraris, Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky and Nikola Tesla in the late 1880s.
Three-phase electric power is a common method of alternating-current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution.

In electrical engineering, single-phase electric power refers to the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors. A single-phase supply connected to an alternating current electric motor does not produce a revolving magnetic field; single-phase motors need additional circuits for starting, and such motors are uncommon above 10 or 20 kW in rating.

In contrast, in a three-phase system, the currents in each conductor reach their peak instantaneous values sequentially, not simultaneously; in each cycle of the power frequency, first one, then the second, then the third current reaches its maximum value. The waveforms of the three supply conductors are offset from one another in time (delayed in phase) by one-third of their period. When the three phases are connected to windings around the interior of a motor stator, they produce a revolving magnetic field; such motors are self-starting.

Standard frequencies of single-phase power systems are either 50 or 60 Hz. Special single-phase traction power networks may operate at 16.67 Hz or other frequencies to power electric railways.

In some countries such as the United States, single phase is commonly divided in half to create split-phase electric power for household appliances and lighting


Part of the Electronics glossary:





In electronic signaling, phase is a definition of the position of a point in time (instant) on a waveform cycle. A complete cycle is defined as 360 degrees of phase as shown in Illustration A below. Phase can also be an expression of relative displacement between or among waves having the same frequency .

Phase difference , also called phase angle , in degrees is conventionally defined as a number greater than -180, and less than or equal to +180. Leading phase refers to a wave that occurs "ahead" of another wave of the same frequency. Lagging phase refers to a wave that occurs "behind" another wave of the same frequency. When two signals differ in phase by -90 or +90 degrees, they are said to be in phase quadrature . When two waves differ in phase by 180 degrees (-180 is technically the same as +180), the waves are said to be in phase opposition . Illustration B shows two waves that are in phase quadrature. The wave depicted by the dashed line leads the wave represented by the solid line by 90 degrees.

so...
the 555 is an oscillator chip - meaning it pulses ( a wave form )...
the 12 DC volt battery ( or any voltage up to 18 volts ) is supplying the juice to the 555 which has turned the DC into AC pulses which pulses each transformer with two timing chips 4017 s in sequence...

It was explained to me...that all you have to do is excite the surrounding ether with these pulses and tap into the vast amounts of free energy at your disposal... The very Least that the circuit is a clever way of using all the energy of a 12 volt battery ( which satisfies me - but if it is true - eureka!).

I got very excited when I got the 555 and the 4017 s working... then the long pause for the quest for soft iron...
now I am back on track and waiting to wind the transformers

Before I forget...
What I asked this forum thread was...
If I combine two transformer secondary's together and put a resistor and a capacitor to slow them up... for a another combined transformer secondary... and then a third. Would I have a 3 phases to operate a 3 phase motor...

I am thinking to myself ( Yes )... but I am waiting for the electronic experts ( that show up occasionally ) to tell me how...

All the best

Oops AntiJon...
I thought you were asking about phase - from a beginners view point...
skip the Last 3 posts...
As I understand the circuit ( Fig. ) you can tap each secondary either in series or parallel...
And... the sequential firing of pulses to the transformers is in a waveform...
This is about as technically as I want to get...

Hope this helped.
All the Best

@RandyFL No, thanks for the refresher. Taking a second look, or third, Figuera's commutator does provide what would be the equivalent of rectified two phase. Well that's good to know. lol

As for your question, are you trying to run a 3 phase motor to do work? I'm sure you could offset the phases a number of ways, but the only thing I've ever seen is an off-the-shelf variable speed drive... if you're daring, I've heard about the rotoverter that runs from 120 volt http://peswiki.com/index.php/OS:Rotoverter
