Controller circuit for Hilden Brandt motor needed..

[Honk]

Is there anyone interested in helping Jack Hilden Brandt,
to build an electronic controll for his  motors ?

Please post a reply here in this thread, so Jack can contact
you then.
Many thanks.
I am making this topic sticky for a while.

Hello.

If my help is needed in the converter and controller designs I would like to help.
Iv'e designed lots of controllers and switched powersupplies the past 15 years.
Currently I work as a power management designer engineer responsible for high
efficiency DC-DC and AC-DC power supplies in the efficiency range of 90-99%
depending on the working conditions and switch topology.
The controllers are usually about 98-99.5% efficiant. Rarely below 98%.

I understand you'll need an AC-DC or DC-DC converter to fit the voltage from the
generator to the controller and motor. This is the easiest task to accomplish.
The design of the controller itself might be pretty straight forward but it could also
be complicated depending on the needs of the motor.

Then there is the time factor....My personal time.
I have a family that demand some of my free spare time....which might cause
the design to take some time before it finished and ready to send to Jack.
But on the other hand, Iv'e got lots of experience and this will speed up the
development time and I might be able to deliver a combined converter and controller
solution within a month or two.

My email is visible in my profile info.

What I would like to see is this.

Three electric eyes spaced 60% around my mounting plate and some kind of disk that would be conected to the shaft so I could place a gap in to controll the on/off time for the coils. 

How about a crude mechanical solution to start with? A cam based idea
with a disc on the shaft and three protruding juttings which meet a simple
microswitch which switches the current to the coils. (Old dumped microwave
ovens are full of such microswitches, if yo0u have one knocking around).
The juttings could even be lumps of solder.

Jack,

I had a webserver crash that has me tied up at the moment.  I'll get with you when I get this mess cleaned up.

Honk's experience can be utilized as well.  I live within a couple of hours of you, so that part is easy.
