Embarrassment time, dyslexia strikes again. The impressive second reading is an error on my part.

Correction for post #678

The millivolt numbers are correct in my notes, 11.6 mV under load and 10.3 mV no load. I was just dividing by two to get the amps and a very simple mistake occurred on the 11.6... I had written down 5.5 instead of 5.8 and subtracted 5.15 from it. What a difference that makes... from 8.575 watts to 16.25 watts! Sorry about that.


So corrected, the number two reading is 14.28 Watts out for a cost of 16,25 watts in


The best reading today is at 2800 RPM, 12.03 watts out for a cost of 12.5 watts in


The RV draw numbers are correct

Hey Ron, no problem, it happens.

Too much Coffee maybe?

P.S: Due to lack of interest, I am currently seeing no point doing the Build Off Challange - Seems that we have seen soo much talk, but as always see no Action - Whats going on?

Nah, just short term memory is very very short term, LOL ...that and every now and then I transpose numbers.

Chris, to be more specific, the drag increases up to a certain point, then there is a dip, followed by a resumption of the increase.


This is with no electrical load being drawn, so it is not Lenz related. It must then be strictly a magnetic phenomenon.


Ron

Quote: By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field that created it, and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field. For example, a nearby conductive surface will exert a drag force on a moving magnet that opposes its motion, due to eddy currents induced in the surface by the moving magnetic field. This effect is employed in eddy current brakes which are used to stop rotating power tools quickly when they are turned off. The current flowing through the resistance of the conductor also dissipates energy as heat in the material. Thus eddy currents are a cause of energy loss in alternating current (AC) inductors, transformers, electric motors and generators, and other AC machinery, requiring special construction such as laminated magnetic cores or ferrite cores to minimize them. Eddy currents are also used to heat objects in induction heating furnaces and equipment, and to detect cracks and flaws in metal parts using eddy-current testing instruments.

Here is something you might like to try to see if the drag without load is lenz related.
Is it possible to replace the magnets with small steel pieces/or one steel rod,that are the same shape and size as the magnet's,and then run the DUT,and see if the same amount of load/drag is placed on the prime mover as if there were magnets in the rotor?.

I see you mentioned that you did the temperature test,and the results were opposite to what i thought they would be--and this is interesting 
Perhaps i should put aside my solenoid engine build for a while,and finish my setup like yours,and join in on the search for the !hidden! drag ,when no load is being drawn from the generator.

@ Ron

So i have just been watching some of the video's on your channel,during my morning coffee--and wow.
You have some excellent builds on there Ron,and craftsmanship i have only seen once before by another.

A video from a channel you might enjoy,by a man that shares your skills.
