Nice one! Thanks for promoting Julian and stating the focus topic ; KV pulse in + optimal frequency to charge the various Battery Chemistries and enable high COP's. Swapping period what I mostly see, is 1 hour if not switching depending on charge voltage.

[@Waveguide]

Indeed! Using the method Julian describes, I calculated that swapping the batteries at 80% of their capacity will mean a swap interval of almost 4 hours (!) despite my tiny batteries, since the motor right now only consumes ~70mA haha.

[@tisserandstephane7845]

Patience and lot of tuning : i'm totaly agree with you !! The battery swaping is here the Heart of your system Work in progress.....

[@rickfriedrich]

We include the motor turn off in our Arduino code so that there is enough time for the switching to take place not under load and also prevent the output to not cause any problems. Yes and there should be some added diodes on the relay. This shows up on our 200A version. We can charge some batteries across the relay driver coils or recover energy as well.

[@Waveguide]

Hi Rick, thanks for mentioning that and thanks for giving me the idea for the battery swapping circuit. I'm very impressed with all you've built, and can't wait to meet at the convention in The Netherlands.

[@Estrav.Krastvich]

Thank you for the most qualitative and well structured information about experimental energy research. Read both your long design considerations articles, they are great. Hope you could do final construction demo with all coils in place.

[@Waveguide]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I have to confess that I kinda lost my faith in pulse motors, got distracted with Don Smith devices, and then wasn't able to get those working properly either, so I'm taking a little break from all this for now.

[@Estrav.Krastvich]

It looks like it is almost ready and just needs to be assembled in full coil setup or to be connected to second generator via shaft. Wish you fast recovery).

[@Estrav.Krastvich]

The guys disclosed quite a bit - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIPZe52HZ6tpbq8, report the working project for quite a few years. U-type magnet hand modulation can be seen in order to keep speeding up, one pole rotor with one long force-applying, let's say, period. Probably more advanced in the real machine, but still, quite refreshing after the whole web research (so little info).

Lithium batteries can be unstable under certain conditions but the COP seems to favour them, though SLA are cheaper and the A&P crowd seemed to like them too. What batteries do you prefer yourself sir?

How can a closed magnetic loop draw in extra energy from somewhere else ?

[@Waveguide]

Great question, and I don't have the answer unfortunately :-) Adams believed the energy entered into the air gap, which still exists even in a closed magnetic circuit. However, my main goal was to use more of the power of the rotor and stator magnets that is usually wasted in monopole setups.

[@eleochoriwildlife]

@@Waveguide I wonder way this never happen in normal motors though? For example bldc motors use variable frequency en duty cycle for the optimum relaxion time of the core material en have internal reciving diodes for recovery en they're like 85/95% efficiënt

[@Waveguide]

@@eleochoriwildlife Well first of all, it is not guaranteed that this effect is happening in Adams motors either, that's what I was trying to figure out :-) But since pulsing seems to be key, some BLDC motors definitely have the ability to capture some of the flyback, but usually the diodes are used to simply let the flyback loop around until its dissipated as heat. It's not actually being used for anything helpful.

[@eleochoriwildlife]

@@Waveguide i respectfully disagree, if you look in in to flyback diodes en circuits you wil find it's just letting the current flow for a longer time so actually al the energy is used to produce a magnetic field , the bldc designers know this en build a dead time in the pwm to make full use of it 😉 therfore capturing it in something else like a cap or battery wil only give a lower efficiency en more heat

[@Waveguide]

@@eleochoriwildlife interesting, I clearly need to update my BLDC knowledge. Thanks for pointing that out.

Mr Kraakman, could the GANfet be switched out for a MOSfet with a higher voltage rating, say 1200v? Thank you sir.

Yes, but you will have to triple check the pins, because these GaN fets have their gate pin in a different place than most regular FETs

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

[@Buzzhumma]

great man! I do believe you would be best to use the super capacitors in series instead of the 12volt batteries as the resistance is far far lower and as you know , resistance of any kind is a killer of efficiency. you can get small ones very cheap on aliexpress or even Ebay

[@Waveguide]

That's definitely an interesting idea! However, some swear that the battery chemistry with heavy and less heavy particles enable the effect.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Mr Kraakman, what's the difference between your circuit and Julian Perry's circuit? Thank you sir.

[@Waveguide]

My circuit powers a motor, his circuit is solid state and only pulses coils and then captures the flyback. This allows him to set the pulse frequency precisely, while in my case the pulse frequency depends on the RPM of the rotor.

[@frankchandler8005]

Gerard morin tried this but I think he failed and is embarrassed to show his face on u tube so now he got his job back fixing the sewer pipes. He walks inside pipe and has to scrape the inside of pipe clean.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Not that this honest researcher needs defending Francis, but I would remind you that even Tesla was forced to dig holes as a day job to finance his research Circumstances are no excuse for accepting failure. The solution to this puzzle was found long before you were born and it will be rediscovered by determined researchers who will reclaim their own power supply as their birthright. Thank you for your comment Francis.

[@oscarverwey]

Looks like a kind of kromery generator whit electrical input instead of mechanical, I wonder dit you ever produced better results than of the shelf high efficiency motors en generators ? I found whit such machines that either way it produces a cop of about 0,6 to 0,8 at best en whit battery bank swapping whit the c20 charge /discharge range it dropped to cop 0,45 , this is because the active voltage difference is decreased by 10 to 20% in the chemical conversion in the battery , I also used barium magnets like bedini suggested but it makes not difference :(

[@Waveguide]

Hey Oscar, I myself have not achieved any extraordinary results yet with these systems, and so right now I've shifted my focus away from pulse motors to Don Smith devices, which seem to hold a lot more promise. Fingers crossed.

[@oscarverwey]

@@Waveguide excellent choice, 👌 I would recommend to focus on the negative resistance components the most, this is where you can cancel the losses ( positive resistance) en maybe even get something extra! ( Hydrogen spark gaps seem to do the job very well in making up for the losses) for the capacitors you have to make them your self whit tesla's method ( aluminium or copper sheets rolled parallel whit bee wax paper in between en cure them at 120deg c in a vacuum chamber whit a high dc voltage applied to it this wil make a electret cap whit no losses) maybe even negative losses 😀 For the coils use silver coated copper wire (solar panel wire) en used multi Strang according to the skin effect frequency, roll the multi Strang wire where you don't want stray inductance en let them parallel in the transformer To add a lot more power output I suggest to study the alpha en beta voleic effect en harvesting methods, you wil find that tue circuits Don Smith uses are identical to that of alpha en beta particle harvester circuits, It's like how a solar panel works but then for cosmic radiation en don't focus to much on the transformer itself besides making it efficiënt as possible whit Teflon pipe en Teflon coated wire ( no wood,pvc,metal ore anything other then Teflon en nylon)

[@Waveguide]

@@oscarverwey Great, thanks for the tips! Much appreciated.

Phenomenal! Thanks for your clear presentation. I've built a few motors & found its a bit like building a violin after watching someone build it on video with the volume muted....you see it & make a gr8 looking instrument...but you can't hear how its tuned. Now we're a giant step closer to knowing the tuning since you raise the importance of battery resonant frequencies.🎻💫💙🙏🙏🙏

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Mr Kraakman, could your circuit be used on the SG Energizer sir? The SG seemed to have a mini flyback circuit per each coil. Would this be a necessary addition to accompany your flyback circuit or would it be unnecessary. Thank you sir.

[@Waveguide]

I've never built or studied the SG Energizer, so I can't answer that question unfortunately.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

@@Waveguide Sorry sir I shouldn't have assumed. I thought Mr Adams and Mr Bedini's system operated using the same principles. I think Mr Bedini used as many as 7 lengths of copper wire per coil, that's probably why he had multiple transistors that had to be matched. Something to do with different forms of radiant energy per wire. Thanks for your feedback Mr Kraakman.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Mr Kraakman, hope you're doing well. When you take this off the shelf during the polygon period to come, remove the iron beneath the coils that make it a closed system. Your electronics are flawless, as is the rotor design. This being the case, the only other variable is the ambient and the magnetic phenomena beyond the ambient. Remove the iron plate. Best wishes sir. 😊

[@Waveguide]

Yes, that is the one.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Is there a point in this circuit where pulse width is modulated, the arduino is just for swapping the relay, right sir?

[@Waveguide]

In this setup the Arduino only switches the relay, yes. In previous pulse motors I used an Arduino for PWM, but now I just "hardcoded" the duty cycle to 30% using the timing disk.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

@@Waveguide I watch for little pieces of info that paraphrase Bearden and Bedini, but I found Mr Perry's remarks about fine tuning pulse frequencies promising. He used solid state to test with? Battery frequency response sir?

[@Waveguide]

@@hoofheartedicemelted296 Yes, Julian Perry ditched the rotor, as all it does is determine at what frequency the coils are pulsed, so he just pulses the coils using a signal generator instead so he has much better control over the exact pulse frequency. That led him to the conclusion that each type and size of battery has its own ideal charge pulse frequency and voltage, and so ideally you would first determine that for your own batteries, and then build a motor that can run at that frequency.

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

@@Waveguide Would you need a CBA to determine this frequency sir?

[@Waveguide]

@@hoofheartedicemelted296 I haven't replicated Julian Perry's experiments yet, but he seems to suggest that a battery analyzer is required, yes. And to control the speed of the motor, all kinds of things can be done: more voltage = higher speed, less voltage = lower speed, higher duty cycle = more speed, lower duty cycle = lower speed etc.

@lightseeker3390 Hi, that email was sent 12 hours ago, didn't get to it yet on my Sunday off 😉 Will answer now. I did a 5 hour test run for fun and the batteries definitely didn't stay charged, but this is using only 2 instead of the final 12 coils. Also, nothing has been tuned yet, like pulse frequency and pulse voltage, and not even the timing disk and duty cycle, so was just an initial test to establish a baseline.

Motor looks great man. Question, if those are ceramic bearings why is the motor on the loud side?

[@Waveguide]

Ceramic bearings have no grease or lubricants, so they are more likely to make noise. Also, the stands are hand-sawed and so not perfectly aligned + the whole thing stands on top of a wooden structure, all of which amplifies the sound. Rotor is also not balanced at all. Nevertheless, I do agree that less noise would be great! Haha.

[@mcorrade]

@@Waveguide Just curious cause I use ceramic bearings (much smaller ones) and there not noisy at all. I agree the wooden structure probably contributes to most of the noise which is why I switched to acrylic.
