Is this the first selfrunning overunity motor w/o batteries ? Mike?s motor

Hello there
would like to do also a replikation,but my knowlege about the wire sizees is poor.
Is it possible,that you provide a short list of Wiresizes in mm2,so i can go to the Market to buy some.
Thanks in advance
regards from Duisburg

Hi Helmut,

Mike says:

I use (28 gauge .012 in. main)

(30 gauge .010 in. trigger, generator)

I get a little over 40 ohms each

So thats:
wire no.
28 gauge = 0.0126" = 0.32mm
30 gauge = 0.0100" = 0.25mm

megaman, the relay is an ac relay, it's specified for 36 - 530V AC output, which is essentially the same as mine....which would explain why I'm not getting dc resistance, because my dc probably isn't high enough to get through the output stage. The DC specification is just the control voltage.

helmet, a good page for wire diameter/weight conversions is here:

Hi Stefan
the trigger winding is 0.25 mm(30 AWG), the main is 0.32mm (28AWG)..But how about the first winding? Is the same as the trigger?And all of them have the same impedance, 40- 46 ohm?

Many thanks,
Cristian

Hi Corona,
Mike used a DC solid state relay (I think are based on MOSFETs and an led), I suspect your solid state AC relay is probably made from two SCRs which only turn off when you cross the zero threshold.
There are a lot of cheap (chip type) DC ss relays you can buy that handle up to 500mA at 350V DC for about 2GBP.
Granted, these may not work as well as the heavy duty relay Mike used.

Hi All,
On the wire front, how about this as an idea: use multi-stranded enameled wire (4 strands), wind say 1000 turns:
1 for trigger
1 for generator
2 in series for the main.

You could tap off at say 500 turns so you could use a shorter trigger wire and add the extra 500 on the end of the main say (in series).
500 turns trigger
1000 turns generator
2500 turns main
The possibilities are endless.

This way you can wind one coil straight off a 0.5Kg 4 core bobbin.
