STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

[Jimboot]

The total friction consumed by my terribly unbalanced replication at 1600 rpm is 4.36mW. Without even capturing any energy it would run for 124 days on a single 10Ah 1.3V D-cell battery.

Cool

@GB where did we get to in the finemet/Metglas debate? I have some Metglas squareloop which I intend to try.

Strange the scope says the output heat of the out put coil in the last demo should get greater than the input, yet that output coil shorted never shows on the thermal imaging.

Just saying folks.

Try the Metglas.  You may need to build a small reset current into your circuit to degauss the square loop cores, but it may not be necessary if the loss in attraction isn't too great (it may not have much effect on it at all). 

Some ferrite cores may even work.  I think the Finemet "L" type is interesting and should be tested along with tape wound cores of different materials.  We'll keep testing different core materials until we get it right.  Some core materials will perform better than others, and we need to find the best performers.  We won't know until we test.

Yes, I will post my data, but for the betterment of the forum and not my ego (like someone we could mention)...

Ah, I forgot to tippie toe around the delicate emotional human nature.     So it must be ego, says the emotional human, lol. Emotional logic.
