Has anyone seen Lasersabers new motor runs on 1000uf cap

[conradelektro]

For me the most interesting feature of LaserSaber's 3d-printed motor is the fact that it acts as a generator (charging the 1000µF cap) when driven with an air jet (from a drinking straw).
I never saw a Reed switch pulse motor circuit as a "generator circuit". My guess, it works because of the back EMF from the coils (which are connected in series).
It would be less annoying if he showed his circuits straight away, but in the past he published his circuits eventually. It is difficult to act in an altruistic way. It needs practice, because we all are brain washed by the "free market system" and it's demand for "gain" and "competition". But LaserSaber has come a long way already.

At least this can replicated (mostly exactly, you`d have to wind the coils the same) if you have a 3D printer or send the files off to be printed.

Nice starter base for everyone to compare run times, do experiments etc.

Thank you man for showing cascading coils in action just as I tried to explain to Romero ions ago. Keeping it sweet and simple showing how each coil is a generator and a driver interchanging between each. You can make a 2, 3, 4 decked unit, with more magnets on wheel.
Put two positive scope probes on any of the two coils to see their phasing relation since that cap should have depleted in a few seconds but the total of all the coil resistances is actually slowing down consumption.

well, my 'ossie' motor also runs on one cap  runtime= 172 minutes - cap= 68000 uF, and then stops 

Yes, I have built some of those.  I never was able to get one to run for over a few minutes on a small capacitor.  I wonder how long this new motor would run on a 68000uF cap?

I never saw a Reed switch pulse motor circuit as a "generator circuit". My guess, it works because of [color=rgb(0, 0, 255) !important]the back[/color] EMF from the coils (which are connected in series).

That is correct.  The rotor has six magnets. There are 12 coils connected in series.  The coils are connected so that while one coil is pushing the magnet, the next coil is already pulling on the magnet.  So the magnets are all n-n-n-n-n-n and the coils are n-s-n-s-n-s-n-s-n-s-n-s.

It needs [color=rgb(0, 0, 255) !important]practice[/color], because we all are brain washed by the "free [color=rgb(0, 0, 255) !important]market[/color] system" and it's demand for "gain" and "competition". But LaserSaber has come a long way already.

I am very committed to sharing freely.  The reason the circuit is not up already is that I am on a vacation with the family.  When I get back, I will post it, plus the 3D files, on to laserhacker.com.


For those who do not get the point of this, let me try to explain.  People had been asking for a DIY video on the motor and crystal cell featured on my live video stream.  I realized that the best way to do this would be 3D printing.  I decided to start with the motor first.  I put everything I have learned to date into making the motor run on as little current as possible.  Next I will do the 3D printed crystal cell.  Together this will make a combo that should run for years.  The motor has really impressed me.  Now I am looking at trying to get it to run longer on a 1000uF cap.  By using some techniques I learned on my Muller motor I may be able to improve the run-time greatly.  The end goal for me (besides making a self runner which is probably impossible but I will try relentlessly anyway) will be a new kind of battery system.  It would be like an electrical fly wheel.  At a much larger scale, you could spin one of these up with solar or wind energy and then pull from it later at night.


I am already working on some improvements, see attached image.

Overcoming friction in a good bearing, like those in hard drives or CD drives requires
almost no power. A large capacitor should last a long time.

To be confident that there is something here, we need figures for power in and power
out to a load.
