I really have heard no one talk about the specifics displayed in Harti's  PDF.

Stephan,

About the magnets in the manual why do they look so different the magnets look different in the amount of thickness?

About the plastic washer between the washer and the magnet is this not a part of the replication needed?

About the Ferrite Magnets on top of the Neo's some of them have 2 some have one it appears is this not important to replicate?

Also the washer what material is the washer is it zinc plated or chrome plated or is it an aluminum washer there are many different variations of washers... which is it?

This according to romerouk is needed for "proper flux adjustments"... Now tell me why this has took a back seat in all of the replications. The words proper flux adjustments sound like it may be a key to the operation of the device? Unless this was just a random attempt to explain why something works without really knowing why or how it works...

Can anyone answer some of the questions or share some information on this subject matter it seems as if there is almost an exclamation mark on this particular area yet not one person has spoke about it to me it appears as if this would make the wheel unbalanced from the photos in the PDF if there is more weight in one spot on the wheel wouldn't this wear the bearings out faster or uneven?

I guess before I will build I need to understand what I am replicating to make a true replication. And there is a lot left out and not talked of I may have been even hard on RomeroUK with the specifics but hey do you want a replication or a variation?

As for the voltage he did reference a video that showed rectification of strands of wire to increase the overall voltage this could be something that he was playing with in one video or the other and did point to this as being another key part in the working so I dunno again if this was just an attempt to try and explain what is happening without fully understanding or what. But either way many specifics of the device elude us when you really start to put this thing under the microscope.

Anyone have a rough estimate on how much one of these would cost to replicate to the same scale that Romero's video exhibits?

Halfway tempted to attempt to replicate and see if i can atleast learn something from it if not more.

I just dont want to sink alot of money into it and find out that i still have alot more to do and abandon it.

@Tcanuth
I posted a reply to you earlier but for some reason it never registered on the O.U server, maybe the photo. was too large. Anyway, the pic. shows 2 stator and a rotor plate made from acrylic. It costs me all of $25 for the 3 pieces and $30 extra for labor in machining the rotor magnet holes by Tab Plastics personnel. The nuts and bolts are from Home Depot and costs $5.00 The VCR motor drive is free from surplus (I'm only using the bearings to spin the rotor).
The Ne magnets (26) will cost about $50 and the other electronics parts will amount to no more than another $130. So, that's your answer.
Much as I would like to replicate this fascinating device, it's time I don't have much! Hope all those master builders will be successful soon.

cheers

Hi All,

I think a 10 ohm resistor might be to much a load on a individual coil set.  If you have 9 coil sets providing about  2.5 amps, each coil would need about a 39 or 43 ohm standard 1/2 wat carbon resistor as a test load as all 9 coils share the total load.  This is not exact as I am not including the diode bridge in the series circuit.  Probably a 39 or 43 ohm 1/2 watt carbon resistor would be a good place to start testing a one coil dual pair set. I believe you will find more useful results/voltage/current with this load.

I received my cores and dye for layout today, time to get to work tomorrow.

Respectfully,

Ben K4ZEP

hi Infringer

this has been discussed early on

it seems likely that the washers were magnetic, since they assist in keeping the stator mags in place, after 'tuning' (and also allow the mag to be slid for best 'tune')

Romero said the washers were glued above the cores

hope this helps
