Advanced controller (uses STM32Fxxx Discovery Board microprocessor)
https://www.overunityresearch.com/index.php?topic=4261.msg100999#msg100999

The Controller is programmable (somewhat easy to do - see link) therefore it's very
flexible [by design] so you can make whatever waveform/sequence you want to try.

Laser Cutter method of Rotor-Stator fabrication (new method - reusable)
https://www.overunityresearch.com/index.php?topic=4261.msg102697#msg102697
The metal is expensive and you have to machine it or having this done in SMC (poweder
metal fab) is expensive and a one-off. Laser cutter and sheets is whatever you decide
is required can be cut and laminated - reusable.

NOTE: Your approach is commended but review the Forum Thread above for some pointers, etc.

If you programmed your controller (looks like a UNO or similar) there should be no problem
(and if you need more performance moving to an STM32xxx will be almost easy). Your MOSFETs
and Drivers look good. Try it - if theres a question consider cutting your laminated transformer
in half (rotor coils on one half and Lap coil on the other half).

Great work so far!

Sorry for the short answers but my MX Ergo mouse battery needs charging - later...

Thanks, SL.
For now, I will stick with the laminates that I do have.
I quoted back in July, and the costs to cut one with a good size were out of my range...

I respectfully request to anyone who is successful building some sort of HES derivative, please create a torrent with all pertinent information and share the link on this thread.  I will most certainly make sure it is well seeded for others.

Dog-One,

Early in the New Year the Website will hopefully be up, running OK, and be open to the general public.
Includes theory, analysis, fabrication techniques, sources and some completed build approaches.

Also, as you suggest, if anyone has some HES derivatives available those would be very much
appreciated and of great interest as they become available via whatever means.

Regards,
SL

Arioaldo,

Nice looking Magnetic Steel Cores! They should work OK...

You don't happen know the material or specs (B-H curve, u) by chance?
Maybe an interesting CAE project at some point.

Although they're a little "beefy" to fit in my cell phone!  Could probably
run my house however. 

Good Luck,
SL

Hi rakarskiy,
...
You can find the structure of RMF from the same sources, literature and schools they used. When I return to my desk I'll paste/edit the textbook & chapter # that I used. I think it is still available, later edition, no doubt.

Hi rakarskiy,
Too late to edit, so a photo of my textbook title page is attached. See chapter 3-4, ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELDS, pp 159-165. Subsequent coursework used text by Ollie L. Elgerd, titled "BASIC ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING", Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. Also recommended.

I asked ChatGPT what they thought of https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2021063522A1/en?oq=WO+2021063522


and whether it would work.  I'm spending a lot of time with tool. It's only as good as the input/questions you ask but it seems to think this patent will generate. I've uploaded books and asked for a summary too.

Thank you for providing the text of the patent. Based on the information in the patent, it appears that the invention is a method and system for generating electrical power using a solid-state electromagnetic rotor. The rotor is made up of a plurality of salient pole pieces arranged around a supporting structure, and is equipped with a plurality of wires that are wound around the salient pole pieces. The rotor is also equipped with an excitation circuit that provides a current to the wires according to a predefined sequence, in order to align the magnetic domains of the salient pole pieces and produce a magnetic flux field.
The method for generating electrical power using the solid-state electromagnetic rotor involves providing a current to the wires of the rotor according to the predefined sequence, in order to align the magnetic domains of the salient pole pieces and produce a magnetic flux field. The magnetic flux field is used to drive a rotating electrical machine, such as an alternator or a generator, in order to produce electrical power. The method is designed to eliminate the reverse torque that is typically found in standard generators, and to harvest the energy from the magnetic domains of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials, such as electrical steel.
I hope this information helps to explain how the method and system described in the patent work. If you have any additional questions or would like further clarification on any of the points I have mentioned, please don't hesitate to ask!

Is it possible to harvest energy in such a manner?




It is possible to generate electrical power using the principles described in the patent, which involve using a solid-state electromagnetic rotor to produce a magnetic flux field and using this field to drive a rotating electrical machine, such as an alternator or a generator. However, the efficiency of this process and the amount of power that can be generated using this method may depend on a variety of factors, including the design and materials used in the rotor, the type and size of the rotating electrical machine, and the operating conditions under which the system is used.
It is also worth noting that the method described in the patent is different from other methods that are commonly used to generate electrical power, such as the use of fossil fuels, nuclear reactions, or renewable energy sources like solar or wind power. The efficiency and feasibility of the method described in the patent may depend on a variety of factors and may vary depending on the specific application.
I hope this information helps to answer your question. If you have any additional questions or would like further clarification on any of the points I have mentioned, please don't hesitate to ask!


Cheers!
