Controller circuit for Hilden Brandt motor needed..

[Iosh]

I really hope you get what you want JackH, you did really make a piece of art (which more importantly seems to work!).

Cheers.

Dear Jack,
thanks for the great news, I have been keeping my curiosity in check for the last few weeks, and I am looking forward to the report of how it works with Honk's great controller, both may I add beautifully crafted pieces of workmanship. If the figures that you quote are correct, and I don't for a moment think that they are not,they just sound so fantastic, then it should be possible to run an alternator of the rotor shaft. Alternators usually start producing electricity at about 1,500 revs which is what you say your motor runs at with 50 watts consumption. Alternators supply I think about 50 amps at 12 volts, it should be then possible to feed it back into a battery bank and use the battery bank to supply your motor. You will most likely have to use a converter to get it back up to 100 volts and that means double losses, but it certainly seems feasible with how you say your motor performs to get it running in self running mode.  A dynomometer test on your motor should give you the correct output figures for your motor then you can work it out for your self. This was just a cheap and dirty suggestion of testing your motor for self running without too much expense. I hope that you don't think me impertinent.

By the way Jack how is your patent coming along? I think you told us a couple of months ago that you should be getting it about now. Dragging there feet still are they? I would hate not to see you get one. The patent office  have got I think 5,000 patents that the U.S. have confiscated because they were a threat or a perceived threat to U.S. Security. I think that it is paragraph 181 of the U.S. Patent act that give them the right to confiscated your patent without compensation and they can threaten you with 20 years in prison if you divulge it or even talk about it. I would be very careful who I talked too if I were to get this running in self running mode, and I hadn't got my patent. Anyway Jack all the best and I am looking forward to seeing the results when you run it with Honk's great controller, in hopefully a couple of weeks time. I still don't know what I admire best the workmanship or just the simplicity of the idea

Just to satisfy your curiosity I can tell you that the controller have full self-runner support including an AC-DC converter
that will fit the voltage coming from the generator (60-280VAC, 2 or 3 phases) into the needs of the motor.

Dear honk,
it can't get much better than that, I am certainly looking forward to see how the motor runs with your controller, thanks for the reply

Well, looking good indeed.

I would not try an alternator. They are total hogs. You are better off with a well matched AC generator, but I guess you know all this anyways.

Based on what Jesse McQueen said about patenting, if your patent claims OU and can show the patent office it works, they will patent it. But again, with all the stories we've heard about patents, who's to say. You are maybe better off patenting it as a fly swatter, and then us it for what you want.

Now that you're turning your thumbs with nothing to do, care for some more ideas? lol I have this circuit that I took off a flying saucer and would require some reverse engineering.lol
