what about the wimhurst generator?

[nitinnun]

why does no one talk about the wimhurst generator?

it can generate FAR more voltage/amperage, than it took energy to turn the 2 wheels.

someone in europe built a 4 foot wide by 3 foot tall version, that generated 300 volts at 10 amps. or 3,000 watts.


they assume that it collects electrostatic energy from the air.

but i think that is polarizes an energy source which is all around us at all times, into positive and negative polarity. which is then mixed together into electricity.

is this device actually a zero point energy device?


i have done something similar, using the net clockwise spin of copper, and the net counter-clockwise spin of steel.
mixed together into electricity.

here is a wimhurst model, sold by images SI inc.


how how is enough voltage/amperage,
to create ONE INCH LONG LIGHTNING SPARKS,
being generated by mere HAND MOVEMENT


some people get 3 inch long lightning sparks, on theirs.......

I bet you're just itching to see what a good solenoid rigged to provide impulse power to the wheel might do.....


Aren't you Nitinnun?

@nitinnun ,
Perhaps no one talks about Wimshurst machines because they usually put out microamps or less. Do you have any links for the one that puts out 10amps at 300volts?

i suspect that more surface area on the plates, means more amperage.

such as 2 large plates, taking up 1 whole wheel.
opposed to the normal 20 something smaller plates. taking up one of the wheels.

i am planning to build a flat donut shaped DC motor. just for the wimhurst.

the flat/wide motor shape, is superior to the shaft-based motor.
for efficiency, and ease of attaching to equipment.


the swedish wimhurst, was in "the manual of free energy devices and systems". by D.A kelly.
i downloaded it from a torrent, online.
because the book is extremely hard to find.

that book had MANY useful, clearly explained devices in it.

but the swedish wimhurst mentioned in it, had unusual added features.
features that increased its amperage greatly.

these features increased the amperage, by "reducing losees, due to inefficiency".
or by "reinforcing the amperage", against forces that canceled it out.
