Wanneer ik thuis kom, zal ik mijn doen hebben fotograferen  When I get home, I'll make pics.
Any relation to the dutch or just learning?
Have a good day.
Peace

WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS AN EDDY CURRENT BRAKE AND HYSTERISIS BRAKE - NEITHER OF WHICH CAUSE ACCELERATION.

AND YES OF COURSE THE MOTOR WILL ACCELERATE MORE IF THE COILS & CORES ARE REMOVED BUT THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A GENERATOR EITHER.

Having the cores close to the rotor brakes the rotor due to various losses incurred by magnetizing the core in oscillating polarities -- hysteresis losses, eddy current losses, etc.

Shorting the coil reduces the magnetization in the core, by Lenz's law, and therefore reduces all of these losses.

The question is whether or not the loss reduction is greater than the new resistive losses in the coil.  If it is, then you get acceleration, and it's quite conceivable that there are many configurations in which this occurs.

Cheers,

Mr. Entropy

Hello! I'm posting this from the computer lab of your old Alma Mater, Heritage College. I first came across this story when that Star article was published and have been following on and off since then. Unfortunately, I have next to nothing to contribute, being a social science student with an amateur's interest in physics and a high school class. But I have read through some of this thread with an inkling of understanding and I see the huge potential of this concept. So I was wondering if it would be possible for myself and a few of my friends to sit in on a demonstration at some point, seeing how we live about 15 minutes away from OttawaU. Thanks in advance for your consideration!

P.S. I even lived in Almonte for a year as a child!
