Holcomb Energy Systems:Breakthrough technology to the world

I tried to draw magnetic fluxes and windings in your drawing, but it's too difficult.
Let's simplify the design by reducing everything to one pole per phase.
It seems that my winding in a circle should cancel the EMF induced from the phase spike N, but double the movement of the field in a circle, if any.

Follow the flux, pole to opposite pole, shortest route with fewest
restrictions.

The image below is a concept lamination.  Top image is start,
bottom image after one transition of the fields.  Rotation is
clockwise.  Orange wire bundle for one output coil set in what
is probably too large of slots.

Red - south pole
Blue - north pole

Since you have a printer, walk this through for a complete
four-step cycle and trace around where the flux lines would
likely go.  I think what you will discover is any flux generated
by the output coil doesn't directly interfere with the flux paths
produced by the exciter coils, they always have an alternate
path.

Also note, the maximum output voltage will be at the point of
maximum change in flux, which is when we transition.

Once you have good comprehension of how this is supposed
to work, then try scratching something out on paper for three
phase and see what you can come up with.  If you need more
poles to make things balance out, add them.

I'm cutting 33 laminates out of 1.6 steel by hand. Not as good as silicone steel 0.4mm but better than a lump of iron hopefully.

Chet!

We need to get Jimboot a plasma cutter or at least a chop saw.

Be careful partner.  Fingers don't grow back all that well.

He has a nice layout to follow
However.. I agree that's a bear of a job with hand held grinder !
They can definitely bite ( I have too many wounds from such !;(
I agree we should have a mechanism to help with resources ,tools etc etc
And that's actually on the menu for discussion at this forum ( how to make that happen)

hahaha, thanks mate. That was just for the first couple of cuts so I could fit it on the chop saw.

ALso depending how this goes I will also try using a magnetic compound powder as SL has suggested and rather than sinter it, I think I'll mix with epoxy and pour into a 3d printed mold. This should hopefully reduce a lot of eddy current issues.
