Newman Motor #3 by detrix42

[detrix42]

@Jarado2600: Yes, my rotor is a bit on the heavy side.  I don't mind the weight that much since Newman was able to turn a 600lbs magnet with only 1 1/2 watts.  He was able to do that because he had 4000lbs of copper atoms being aligned. 

My second motor had the magnetic field kept to a 6 in. by 4 1/2 in. diameter area.  My idea was that by making a bigger rotor, I would get more leverage, and then more torque, but this will require significantly more wire.

I just put a bi-directional LED in my JTC, across the collector-emitter, and it started out green, and then started being orange/yellow.  So there is flow in both directions.  hmmmmm...

After a little tinkering I have not been able to reproduce the bi-directional flow.  hmmmmm

This is a link to the multi-transistor post  I made some time ago, ...you could use this to produce pulsing DC, or combine it some way.  I'm not sure how useful it is, but it only requires inductors, not a transformer.

I've been at a loss for time lately - things have been piling up around here.

I do truly understand.  I have some slow days as well.  I haven't looked at the link you suggested for me.  I will tomorrow. 

I may need some help here soon.  I have acquired 3 disposable camera (used)  and now have the circuits on my desk.  The main question I have is: Do I remove the little transformer or leave it in, and just solder wires to the board?   I will go back to the beginning of the joule thief thread were I believe I saw posts about those cameras.  Second question: The capacitor in these circuits are not label as to how much voltage they can handle or the Farads. 

I am looking forward to playing with these.

You power the circuit as you normally would with it in operating condition, and measure the voltage across it, it should be within speck for the circuit it's on alrady - this is the best way I would know how.

You can search the Joule Thief section for the words Fuji  or Fuji mod..

there was a lot of material on these boards.  Just as well, there are some boards recently posted, I acquired one from Goldmine electric, ..they were like 3 for a dollar or something.
