Reactive power - Reactive Generator research from GotoLuc - discussion thread

[Hoppy]

No error, channel 2 setting is set at x10 so the math is actual watts value (no need to multiply by ten)

Luc

I see. Thanks Luc.

Parts have arrived.

Parts have arrived.

I gave my setup it's first run last night-no output from the genny
The stator windings all ohm up ok,so the rotor windings or diodes must be fried.Off to the farm this afternoon after work to pick up another genny-a good thing i have about 6 of them. Providing i can find a genny that works,i should have a video up by tomorrow night.

I have changed the drive configuration,and am useing a small DC motor(180 volts 400 watts) and speed controller-all of which runs off the 240 volt main's. this way i can change the frequency of the gen from 50htz to 60htz. Also useing the smaller motor, we will see the smallest of load changes.

Hi Luc,

As You requested, since I get little time left for experimentation, I have written a short 3-page pdf about what i call "Reactive Impulse". This will be my next area of research. Maybe You (or someone else) will find this interesting and beat me to implement it.

can you post pictures ? I'm interested how to reliably connect motor to generator, a procedure for people with limited access to tools.
