Mehess Motor

[Dingus Mungus]

I would have to agree, the recovered wattage is not enough.

If you do have a clock weight reseting motor now:
-Drain the battery with a light bulb as load over night. (12+ hours)
-Manually reset the clock for a full 28 day cycle by hand. (synch time)
-Wait 27 days... See if the load affects clock accuracy.
-Show us your findings on the 29th day.
(maybe a video of the event)

Have you considered using a series of induction coils in a arch along the pendulums path?
If you turn the magnet 90 degrees, it will align it with each coil in the arch thus more mW/T.

Just an idea I had...

Well like I said this is phase one of the evolution of the device.
First I would love to be able to use one large capacitor and charge it to 20 volts instead of a group of capacitors to achieve the same results.
The nature of charging capacitors is that they will not charge more than what is going into them. My device generates around 1000mv in about 1.5 minutes. The capacitor will charge up very quickly to about 500-600mv and then begin to flaten out within 1 minute. To charge the capacitor to 20 volts would mean I would need probably around a 30 volt input.
Now that is not impossible it would simply require :
                                            1. Larger Magnets
                                            2. More Magnets
                                            3. Larger Coils
                                            4. Faster swing time

At this point I am simply trying to show that it is possible to recharge the battery over a certain period of time
to keep the system running indefinitely .Any additional power I generate over the amount to bring the battery back up to a full charge could be used in a different manner.
If you know how I can charge up a "super capacitor" to a voltage higher than its input voltage. PLEASE let me know. I admit to a self taught knowledge of all of this.

Some other thoughts

Please do not get to caught up in the fact that the device is only generating 500-600mv this device is completely scaleable Again its only a function of magnets, coils, speed and clock motor size. I could have a main spring built for me that could swing 20 lb magnets if I wanted to. The 2 magnets I am using now weight 59 gr. each.What if I was produce 20 volts or 200 volts instead of 500 mv. At his time I am trying to show a workable concept.
The concept scale up could produce what ever you would want. Of course it would take more power to rewind it
but so what.
In one 28 day period there are 2,419,200 seconds the motor has to run for 12 seconds out of that time to regage the system. But during entire this time electricity is being produced and stored.
Thats what makes this comcept so unique, every other system requires 100% power input 100 of the time to keep it running and that has been there down fall.
There is no combination of only permanent magnets that will ever work on a continious basis to produce a
function motor- its a dead end (I expect to hear a lot of flac on this).

Bill, well, that you can charge  your caps only to a low voltage is the case as with the voltage on a cap the stored energy goes with a square factor:
E=0.5*C *V^2

Well, if you put several caps in series, then the capacitance also will be lower and thus less energy...

Hmm, the only solution I see in this moment is to really scale it up and have a big mass swinging with very big magnets and also with coils with much more windings and like Dingus has drawn in his animation and being able to charge up one capacitor to at least about 15 to 20 Volts easily and then dump at least every 10 seconds such a charge via a copper-graphite switch into the battery.
It would be better, if you could do it already after each swing, so one charge drop about every second...!

So this means:
Bigger is much better!

[hartiberlin]

Hi Bill, you must design your coils and magnets this way, that you would induce into a coil already around 100 to 200 Volts, when the magnet swings by...
Then it is easy to charge up just one cap to only 15 to 20 Volts with a few swings...

So try to wind much bigger coils with bigger sized wire and much more windings.

Have a look at the Newman material you can find over here in the forum.
Many thanks and looking forward to, when you can drop the charge every 2 seconds.
You already have a nice rewind setup, now you only have to scale up the pendulum unit.
