new magnet ball in a tube motor ?

Hi Powercat,

We can build a generator on your system principles.

How about a push bike with it's great gearing system and built in freewheel assembly. Magnetically couple that to an impeller in a linear shaft and pump water around a closed system.

Now put magnets on the impeller and coils at 90 degrees and you have your generator(s).

Wire an AC electrode boiler into your coil circuit and you can heat the water and pump it at the same time.

A bicycle water heating system that can be alternatively powered by anything you want, even a 96%er.

Hi Rob,
having investigated the idea, mainly as I have never seen this type of motor before now,
It is clear to me that it will not eliminate drag and produce free energy,
Which is my main reason for being on this forum all these years, as for my own energy needs
I use over a kilowatt of solar panels to running my laptop TV and occasional other appliances.

Solar panels so far are the only device I have ever found that produces free power,once paid for of course.
BTW there are some amazing deals on the ebay if you are buying very big panels.

Hi All,

Here is another mechanical method of accelerating a mass.

Hi Powercat,

I'm in the same boat. Even though I use solar for light duty stuff, I'm still looking for something to get rid of the batteries and the down time at night. Always searching and testing crazy stuff.

Hi Rob,

You gave me an idea, if you replace the plastic cylinder with a copper cylinder I wonder if the motor will squeal and get hot if you try to use it as a eddy heater. The magnet would roll inside the copper cylinder, the motor will be partially decoupled. The magnet would get hot probably and demagnetize unless there is separating layer, a plastic layer then a copper outer layer. hmmm...

Hi DreamThinkBuild,

I do not fully understand your question.  You say you replace the spinning magnets  with a generator or alternator head, my question is you meant the spinning magnets which are rolling between the two parallel wheels on the rims, right?
And you use bearings at the two ends of the gen head's shaft and in fact the bearings would roll on the rims, the shaft of the generator  would not rotate,  i.e. the outside body of the generator would turn?  If yes then what would turn the outside body?
Sorry for my hardheadedness...   
I show you a picture from Filipiak video, I indicated the bearing on the right hand side rolling on the rim and you replace the cylindrical magnet body in the middle (which is just pointed at) with the gen head?

Thanks,  Gyula

Hi Gyula,

Thanks for the link to Mr. Filiak's setup. I like what he did with his design. I'm wondering if you could replace the spinning magnets with a alternator or generator head. Have it suspended on a shaft rolling on the larger wheel using the weight of itself. Using bearings and framework it can be held so the axis of the generator doesn't rotate, like a seat on a Ferris wheel.

Hi Gyula,

The idea is like a Ferris wheel where the seat always remains on a fixed axis. I attached a simple mockup. The generator becomes the seat. The weight of the generator would have to be greater than the load or it will flip. When the large outer wheel is turning the small shafts will want to ride up one side of the cylinder but the heavy generator will always be trying to pull down forcing the generator head to turn. So we use the weight of the generator itself to help aid turning the generator head.

In theory anyways.
