Is actually 'from thick air' given that is is compressed to over 1 atm.

More like storing energy with thick air since a ton of energy was used to compress that air then it was blown into a turbine and a small portion of the stored energy was recovered as electrical power

The turbine would probably work better without the spacers between them, so it's not as easy for the air to escape through the side (probably not a big difference tho) And the piston engine would be more torquey and smooth with a second cylinder 90° out of phase (so there would be no deadzones without a power stroke)

That's a fair point, I could certainly give that a try. I'd also love to get some advice from better Lego builders than me about how to make a better enclosure for efficiency. Failing that, I reckon 3D printing a Tesla turbine could be a fun (though cheaty) experiment

Would like to see your 3 phase generator power a 3 phase brushless motor. Don’t forget to add load so your inrush current doesn’t damage your motor. Edit: I just discovered your channel. Going back over your other videos, I came across your levitating fan. This might be an excellent candidate for a 3 phase motor. It would eliminate the need for the reed switch altogether. Just in case you don’t want to do the conversion, I posted another suggestion there.
@JamiesBrickJams
@JamiesBrickJams Жыл бұрын
Another excellent idea, thanks for all your suggestions today! That's true, treating the fan as a traditional brushless motor is totally doable. I'll be honest, it does feel like a weird and lossy way to power it, but I sure do love the over-engineered nature of it 😁 Will certainly bear that in mind for some future experiments!

Use a MPPT chip to gather as much power as you can! You can charge up a LiIon cell, and probably expand your lighting time at least a bit. The passive AC to DC is lossy, and you waste ennergy by not using all the voltage and current when available. An MPPT chip will help you with that = ) Also, the flying wheel was like a mechanical capacitor, it would improve stability a bit too (even is your last design is "heavy", so it probably don't need it). So, yeah, nice video, thank you!

Yes. As you squeeze air into a small area, it eventually gets to the point where there is not enough space, so the air resorts to squishing together, leaving more space for air to enter, creating what you call “thick air”

@JamiesBrickJams
@JamiesBrickJams 10 ай бұрын
So the bottles have a pipe going into it, and a 3 way valve connected to that pipe. A compressor then pumps air into the bottle, and the valve is then switched to the middle position, sealing in the compressed air. Then when you want to reject the air, you simply open the valve again. It's just a standard Lego pneumatic valve!

The video is nice 👌 My question is , how do you achieve the required air velocity at the nozzles out of “ thin air “ ? I assume this is nothing but a mini windmill ! But how to convert thin air into compressed air of pressure & volume ? 0:07
@JamiesBrickJams
@JamiesBrickJams Жыл бұрын
I guess a turbine is technically a kind of windmill with extra steps. Not sure I entirely understand your question, but the air nozzle is just supplying compressed air (at high speed) from those bottles. And the bottles were supplied air by the compressor. So as the bottles release air and return to atmospheric pressure, that high speed air turns the turbine blades, which then go through a gear reduction to turn the rotor. The term 'out of thin air' is just a fun play on words 😉

Yup! Any time an electrical load is placed on a generator, you can feel the resistance against the generator input. So for example, if you crank a generator, it'll move easily with no load. Add an electrical load (e.g. a powerful light), and you'll immediately notice the resistance against your hand increase. Same for this pneumatic engine. Add an electrical load, and the engine will take the strain. Sometimes even enough to stall the engine. Kind of like starting a car in 5th gear

make a lenz less generator. need one medal disc rotor from a saw cut away the teeth's then cut the disc similar to a turbine but so that the steel can cover one magnet and one coil with the space of one magnet empty. then place magnet and coil in the stationary frame one magnet and one coil and repeat. place another set on the other side. place the disc rotor in between the two sides of the stationary frame and when you now rotate the disc it will alternate the inductance between the coils and the magnets but in such a way that there is no drag on the load.

Hmm will need to do some research to understand what you're proposing here. But I'd be cautious - there's no way round the conservation of energy. For a generator to output anything (with a load attached), there will always be resistance against it. That's a requirement for energy to be transfered from mechanical input to electrical output.

Wouldn't those turbines spin better if you lock them up, sealed. So ALL the air acts upon the proppelers? (Yeah i don't know how can you seal them up with legos😂)

I'm pretty sure you're right, that should improve efficiency! I tried a few different designs that mostly sealed it up, but I actually didn't see any increase in speed or output, so I just removed it to make it more interesting to see in action. But I'm sure if it was done properly it would improve output

Hi Jamie, pleased to watch you. My 6 year old son has been watching you for a while. He is asking that I create a similar setup for the motor. Would you kindly share where to buy material to create the Lego motor and generator and share names of the itmes. Many thanks to you.

Those ones I'm not actually sure. They measure 40x40x20mm and are an absolute nightmare to work with. They're absurdly powerful, and almost impossible to separate unless you make a magnet guillotine. Very dangerous to leave lying around too

You need to measure it with an oscilloscope and see what the signwave outputs look like. You can also calculate the wattage of the generator like I did for mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npapd2qPabd_o7M

I'd love to do that! I don't currently have a scope, but it's on my list. I shudder to think how scrappy the signal would look for this thing, but I'd love to visualise it! Well done on yours - it looks awesome 👌

@@JamiesBrickJamsthose scopes like the one I have are about $50 now, so not too bad. I was wonder how your generator would work if you doubled up the poles and coils.
@JamiesBrickJams
@JamiesBrickJams Жыл бұрын
Oh wow that's a lot cheaper than I was expecting - will see if I can find one. Adding additional coils and magnets works up to a point. But very soon, the main limitation becomes resistance against the generator when you add an appreciate load. Then it becomes a battle against the physical robustness of Lego, and the torque input it can manage

I guess you could... But it adds mechanical complexity and inefficiencies. You're likely better off taking the input power and just trying to double the speed of the rotor rather than getting both to move.
