Holcomb Energy Systems:Breakthrough technology to the world

I ask, is a single-phase electric motor with not three, but with two windings and a phase-shifting capacitor suitable for your experiments?
Similar to the Soviet  "СД-54" ?

A 2-phase stator will give a traveling flux wave around the air gap hence it is used as an economical means for single phase applications by using a capacitor making a second phase in the stator winding. This method overcomes the zero starting torque of 1-phase induction motors. However the resulting RMF is considerably different than what is achieved using balanced 3-phase, which is a constant magnitude RMF with sinusoidal space distribution. I don't know whether the effect you're looking for is possible using a 2-phase system. When attempting to replicate, it is foolish to stray from the given formula, IMO.
Also, the cage rotor presents problems. How to measure induced parameters?

My current measurements are definitely wrong. I need a variac but in the meantime I'll resort to excess heat measurements. The lamp should be easy but the power supply a little trickier. I think a 10 minute duration for the tests then wait until both lamp and supply are back at room temp before conducting the next test. I have a dmm probe for the lamp and an infrared thermometer for the supply. I should be able to calibrate before hand by hitting the thermistor probe with the IR gun.

Hi Jimboot
If a drive is made, it should be isolation, in my experiments I have never been able to connect input with exit with the same circuit, there must always be an isolation.

Well this is what I have so far. I dont have enough meters to perform all tests at once. Turns out my power supply is drawing current without being connected to a load so possibly on it's last legs?
Light in a bottle test.


Lamp and supply temp tests


Without generator.
Start
Ambient temp 11c
Lamp 11c
Power supply 18c
At 10 mins
Ambient temp 11c
Lamp 15c
Power Supply 18.1


With generator
Start
Ambient temp 11c
Lamp 11c
Power Supply 19.1c
At 10 mins
Ambient temp 11c
Lamp 40c
Power Supply 18.9c


The lamp is in a bottle with a cap loosely fitted. I think the 4c rise in temp of the lamp in the first test is probably from the heating of conductors as the filament does not glow.

You did a really good job on that article.

Yeah, I thought it was a myth.

For the experiment, a pair of rotor + stator from a single-phase generator is needed, which are installed in gas generators.

How are you going to create a rotating field with a single phase stator or armature? 

I don't know whether the effect you're looking for is possible using a 2-phase system. When attempting to replicate, it is foolish to stray from the given formula, IMO.

Yes, it's probably not the best option.
