Minimal Lenz Generator V2

[bistander]

Nice test citfta. About higher generated voltage with washers, did you check to see that the air gap distance was the same as baseline? A slight difference could cause it.

Good work Carroll !   You can do a simple test. Measure the motor current with an ammeter and at the same time switch the diodes of different half-cycles . Lenz  -  NoLenz . Maybe we will see the difference . But for this it is necessary to connect a large load to the coil  .
                                      In the picture, an option for tests .

Thanks Boris,


I may not have time to do that today but I will make that test.  That should prove more informative than the way I tested it.  Trying to catch up on yard work today before more rain comes in.

citfta,

Placing steel close to your disk magnet makes the magnetic field loop around through the washers. Sort of a distorted pole shoe.

It would concentrate the field through the rotor, probably accounting for the voltage difference.

Hi ! Asynchronous motor rotor can be an effective Lenz compensator  !
