First LOAD TEST of Adams Generator

waveguide.blog... | In this video my Adams Motor is loaded with two 15 Ohm generator coils, wound with 0.35mm wire on top of a 20mm soft iron core, which power 8 LEDs while simultaneously spinning a 20cm rotor.
In his manual, Robert Adams says:
"For an electrical load it is suggested you firstly wire up a bank of 6 - 12 LEDs. If everything is go, then switch over to torch lamps. Later on with a bigger machine - car lamps, or maybe household lamps and a mechanical load simultaneously."
Because I was told that my hand-wound generator coils have a resistance that is WAY too high, and that I should not be using a solid iron cores for the generator part, as significant losses will occur due to eddy currents otherwise, I'll be replacing them with four of these Dayton Audio coils with laminated cores:

The serial monitor dashboard I show in the video can be found in the `feature/serial` branch on my Github page (be sure to read the README.md file to find out how to get it working):

I just ran your sketch code on my Arduino Uno. It works.

[@victoryfirst2878]

Would using a neo magnet and winding coils on the outside of the item increase the strength and power output ???

[@Waveguide]

Yes, neodymium magnets increase torque significantly, but increases required input power by the same amount. So if torque is what you're after, use neo's, if efficiency is what you're after, any type of magnet will do.

[@victoryfirst2878]

@@Waveguide Since there are so many magnet types available these days. Which ones are best for efficiency Waveguide ??

[@redesign3dp]

I think showing us how you did the dashboard would be a great video. You could also use ferrite for the Gen. cores (amazon or ebay). This is the best Adams motor replica I've found to date. Keep up the good work!

[@Waveguide]

Thanks for the kind words! You can find the code and instructions for the dashboard on my Github page linked in the video description. I send comma separated values to the Arduino serial port, then I run a NodeJS server with the SerialPort package to read these values, which I then send to the frontend using Socket.io. Is there any benefit/difference between using ferrite versus laminated transformer steel in the generator coils?

[@nerog3136]

Better to tap into the energy field of the drive coils rather than the generator coil energy field .Try it you will be surprised

[@iEnergySupply]

Instead of using laminated flat core, you could use soft iron wire, insulated with paint like 16 gauge, the smaller the better. Bailing wire is the best because it's so soft. You need to stretch it to get it straight though.

[@Waveguide]

I'm thinking about a coil design which requires a U shaped core, so your idea to use iron wire is very interesting in that case, as it will allow me to bend it in any shape I need. And you mean each strand should be insulated with paint from each other, or just the outside of the bunch of wires before winding a coil on it?

[@iEnergySupply]

@@Waveguide each strand needs to be insulated from each other.

[@iEnergySupply]

Also if you can find even smaller gauge wire like 20 gauge that would be even better, you just need to make sure it's soft enough. The softer the better.

Nice work thanks for sharing

[@energyhack3538]

Nice craftsmanship and really like how you created a pc-based dashboard with rpm and pulse dynamics info!

[@Waveguide]

Thanks! :-D I wish I was able to get more stable readings out of the Arduino though. I tried only reading when I'm not pulsing the motor, placing filter capacitors across the sensors and pots, using a high-quality stable power supply, averaging the values etc, but still the readings are not stable enough for my liking. If you or anyone reading this has any other tips, I'm all ears :-)

[@法正義]

I would like to understand the generating the mechanism of this motor whichI am studying by reading the paper and patent.

[@Waveguide]

Great! I'm still trying to figure it out as well.

[@youtubekorisnik2569]

Nice, the Best adams motor ive seen. I read that the generator coils are swithed off, and at the moment where they are allinged with magnet they swith on, this should give a boost to the rotor. Does your setup is working this way?

[@Waveguide]

Hi Danijel, thanks for the kind words! It was Patrick J. Kelly who wrote about switching the generator coils indeed, but so far I haven't seen any evidence that Robert Adams himself did that as well. Still, I might give it a try in the near future.

[@moinshaikh2265]

Lovely good job. Please give us full circuit diagram like turns and swg .good job.

[@Waveguide]

Hi Moin, you can find a detailed schematic of the motor circuit here: github.com/nickkraakman/arduino-pulsed-motor-driver The generator part in this video is simply two coils in series with some LEDs and a pot as load. Motor coils are 8 Ohm using ~100m of 0.5mm wire. Generator coils are 15 Ohm using 0.35mm wire. If you have specific questions, let me know.
