The Ossie motor

Hi solinear,

I respect your opinion on Steorn but the video I referred to has nothing to do with Steorn!!  Ok?

Thanks,  Gyula

I'm not terribly impressed with the Steorn demo.  After several years, millions of dollars and promises of 'unlimited energy', they are producing *way* less than a watt worth of excess energy (21,000 joules over the course of a week = .035 watts).  Enough to give you such a nasty shock if you put it all into a tazer, but it would only run a 50 watt lightbulb for 7 minutes.... then you'd have to wait another week to get another 7 minutes out of that lightbulb.  I think that chasing after other designs will be more productive.

You're right - that's a neat little setup he has built in that video.  I wonder if he could kick-start it with a capacitor with dead batteries and keep it going.

Hi All,

Here is youtube  I have seen referenced in the Steorn Demo thread. The builder experienced no voltage loss from his batteries during a 24 hour continuous run. He uses magnetic gear for the rotor, and the actual rotor magnets are two cylinder magnets in the middle that interacts with two stator coils. The full circuit consists of only the battery, 2 reed switches, two high speed diodes (they look like as 1N4148 or 1N914 or similar), two coils and one series resistor.

Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYgsuJT1zwg 

I do not wish to distract anyone's attention from his own activity of course but I think this video is worth seeing.

rgds, Gyula

Looks like an Ossie variation to me. Interesting tho. My D cell ran for 97 hours before I stopped it. Voltage before the run was 1.32 after it was 1.36

With the setup I have right now I can't without redrilling holes and screwing them back down.  I will go ahead and do that so we have another confirmation of data, but I want to try it with my current setup tonight with a second set of reeds pulsing the entry of the coils also.  But I have been keeping that in mind also and have planned on redoing them anyway.  I will be adding them to movable brackets with nonmagnetic thumb screws for tightening.  That way I can move them around at will and also test that side of your theory.

As far as the alternating polarity of the coils, my honest opinion about that setup is that it is not necessarily out of the ordinary in how it is working.  This is just my theory of course, but it appears to work better because you bring one side of the coil closest to the magnets.  But you must remember, at the same time you are also moving the other side of the coil further away.  In my opinion, there is two generating pulses for every pass of the coil.  One incoming, and one as it leaves.  We are pulsing the coils on only one of them.  The one we are pulsing the coils on we are not seeing as strong effect of the Lenz Law because we are countering it while driving the motor, and collecting part of it on the collapse.  But the other side of the coil is simply getting the full effect of lenz law, because it is just being a generator.  By moving your coils as you have, and changing the polarity they are hooked up, you simply are only making effective use of the one side in which you are pulsing.  The other side that is showing almost all lenz law effect is pulled away from the magnets and now shows nearly none.

I think this is the majority of the reason you are getting a better run for it.  But I also think if we used the bipolar circuit, or at least pulse both when entering and when leaving, it would show the same or better results.  Then we are countering lenz law and capturing in both times per coils, instead of getting dragged down half the time from it.

@ Jimboot,
I'll bet if you changed the coil polarity from -++- -++-  back to the original way -+-+ -+-+ , but you arrange your coils back to normal with all left or all right sides of the coils facing closest, and move the other sides away like you have now.  You will see the same results you are seeing right now.  Having the polarities swapped like you do, could help and hurt either setup due to them canceling each other out.  But they not only cancel the lenz law which is slowing down the setup and a good thing to do, but I think they are also cancelling out the recovery of it, which we do not want.    Setting up the coils the way I'm suggesting, in theory, would keep the polarities from bucking each other and allow the lenz law to be captured on the side we are pulsing, and it would also cut down the lenz law on the side that we are not because that side of the coil will be further from the magnets.  I hope I explained that well enough for understanding.... It's of course only what I THINK is happening.  Any thoughts are welcome...

Thanks CP. That really helps me. I'm starting witth my Orzy tonight. I have some 12mmm Metglas squareloop toroids. I'm hoping the big air coils will saturate them. I'll let you know if I'm dreaming later. I'll hook the coils up the right way this time. Also I'd appreciate anyone's help who can tell me where I should hook up my scope probes to? Thanks

Hi Gyula

Thanks for posting the good info for the diode  i will look for what i can get here.

Now i briefly tested the system on 3 lipo = about 12.45 volt fully charged.
And  i got a very strong and large basis flyback spike See picture. I suppose , but nor sure that if i flatten all the spike it would average a continuous 50 volt.  But how many amps in there ?? so i put a neon bulb direct between plus and minus and it lit  but an neon is very low amperage. Than i tried a 12 halogen bulb  and there was a  big ZZZZZZZZZZ and 2 reeds glued. Than i could save the reeds by chocking them with a screw driver, But did never capture the same power flyback. Than i tried smaller reeds and also never got those flyback.

Simply to say that trial and errors are necessary to capture the nature of this motor     but somer time aaaarrrrhhhhgggg !!!

Good luck at all

Hey Woopy - I feel your pain
Where do you have your probes hooked up to? I'd like to compare my scope shots with yours but I think I'm measuring wrong.
