Solar Energy Motor / 12 Sided Mendocino - Motor

[@locouk]

It's beautiful, I was looking for the worlds largest Mendocino motor and found this video. Thanks for showing it.

[@capodad2u]

No doubt one of the finest models of a mendocino motor ever built ! Does it generate electricity ? I have visited Germany several times in the last few years and am always impressed by resourcefulness of the people and the quality of the craftsmanship in the things that are designed, manufactured and sold in Germany. Great job , well done .

[@VideoWolfram]

Thank you very much! I am glad, that you like it! :)

[@demef758]

Yes, it generates electricity. They're called solar cells. They've been in all the newspapers.

[@demef758]

I can't resist the temptation to do some analysis of this thing. @ 0:49 we have 36 individual panels that are 30x55 mm in size, each with a power output of 0.5V*400mA = 0.2watts, but ONLY when you have ideal conditions: the sun shining directly on the panel perpendicular to each panel at the equator. Otherwise the power of the cell quickly falls off as the cosine of the incident angle and the time of year when solar insolation is reduced. The claim for each cell's power output of 0.2 watts assumes about a 12% efficiency, not out of line with a low cost solar cell and assuming a solar insolation of 1kW/m^2 (generally considered to be the value to use). When a cell is angled to the sunlight, then its output power drops by the cosine of the incident angle. Hit it head-on, and cos(0) = 1. Hit it at a 45 degree angle, and cos(45) = 0.707. Hit it at a 90 degree angle, and cos(90) = 0. When the cells rotate to the shady side of this 12-sided "cylinder," it produces no power at all. Thus, a row of cells receives power only during half of a complete revolution; the other half of the rotation produces no power at all because no light hits it. This reduces the efficiency of a row of cells by a factor of two. To calculate the total power during the 180 degree rotation when light hits a row of cells, you need to perform a simple integral of the cosine of the angle between +/- 90 degrees, which calculates out to (-1 + sin(x)) for x = -90 and +90 degrees, which is equal to 1. But because the other 180 degrees of rotation results in no power output, the AVERAGE power output for a complete 360 degree rotation s the integral term (=1) divided by 2, or 1/2. Because we have 3 cells lined up side-by-side, the maximum power hitting any one row of cells is 0.2W * 3 = 0.6W. As this row of cells makes a complete 360 rotation, per the above calculation, the total power it produces per revolution is 1/2*0.6 watt = 0.3 watts. There are 12 such rows, so the total maximum power going into this motor is 0.3W *12 = 3.6 watts. Note that this is 1/2 the power that one would assume by multiplying the total number of cells by the power output of each cell (36 * 0.2W = 7.2W). Assuming no losses from the output of the cells, the motor can deliver no more than 3.6 watts of mechanical power, or about 5 milli-horsepower. I.e., don't expect to see it powering your next power tool. Let's now consider the physical size of this contraption. I am about to make some educated guesses here since I don't have actual motor dimensions. The panels are each 55mm wide, and there are 3 of them. There is space between them, so let's assume that the 12-sided "cylinder" is 65mm * 3 = 200mm wide. The circumference of the drum can be roughly assumed to be (30+10)mm*12 = 480mm. This is a circle approximately 480/pi = 150 mm in diameter. If I shine a light directly overhead on this cylinder that is 150mm in diameter and 200 mm wide, it will cast a shadow that is 150 mm * 200 mm = 0.030 m^2 in area on the ground below it. What if I now pitched this solar-powered motor and replaced it with an array of cells laying flat on the ground (i.e., a typical solar cell array) with an area the size of the motor's shadow, 0.030 square meters and with an efficiency of 12% (same as the assumed efficiency of the motor's cells)? It's power output would be about 0.030 * 120, or 3.6 watts. Compare the two calculations, and you see that they are identical. In fact, they SHOULD be identical because this rotating drum's X-Y surface area that is illuminated by the sun, MUST be the exact same X-Y surface area as just a conventional flat solar array. I.e, there is absolutely NO GAIN to be had this motor and a flat solar panel with the same dimensions as the drum's X-Y footprint! In fairness to the motor's design, the driving force behind putting the cells on the motor itself is so that they do not require power wires going into the motor which would entail complicated brushes and the like. The motor is "self-contained." You can place it anywhere and it will turn (assuming some light source is available). That is why the cells are on the motor, not on the frame that holds the motor in place. *The motor can supply no more power than the solar cells can deliver to it.* If you now advocate using mirrors to cast more light on the backside of the motor to increase its received power, I then reply in return, "okay, then give me the same surface area of your new mirrors and let me add that to my flat solar panels, too!" You take real estate to send more light to the rotating motor; I take that same real estate and add it into my flat solar cells. No net gain! What is the purpose of the motor, solely to rotate, or to deliver torque? How much torque can the motor deliver with a candle as its power source? A: the same amount of power that is contained in the candle light. I.e., virtually zero. While beautifully constructed, the motor's main feature is friction-less bearings, not power conversion (light to mechanical power (torque)). Some commenters here have themselves convinced that this thing can be scaled up and used to power a 100- ton freight train on a winter's night. Wrong! Remember this: *you will NEVER get more power OUT of anything than the power that goes IN to it.* It's called conservation of energy. If you believe otherwise, then you also believe in perpetual motion machines. Good luck with that.

[@joshisnot11]

This is a desk toy. It's not meant for anything other than demonstration and fun. The point isn't to maximize solar panel efficiency or to generate actual, usable energy. At best, it's a toy that demonstrates how cheap solar panels are nowadays. "Each coil is driven by a panel on the opposite side of the shaft so that, as the bottom coils are powered by the opposite solar panel, they will be repulsed by the central magnet. This will cause the array to rotate and bring the next coil into position over the magnet and the next panel into position towards the light source - thus maintaining the rotation". "Each coil is driven by a panel on the opposite side of the shaft so that, as the bottom coils are powered by the opposite solar panel, they will be repulsed by the central magnet.

[@demef758]

Conservation of energy: power out ≤ power in. In this case, Power In is the solar cells. Everything down stream from that is less than what you're getting from the solar cells. Therefore, punt this silly motor and just use the damned solar cells!

[@engineeringmanager1248]

10/10 for documentation.

[@deldri]

Revolution is already there and takes time. additionally for the zero-energy-searchings (ahain...): if this machine would be more efficient than just the regular solar cells it would hurt law of physikc. Its just an awesome transformation of electrical energy in rotary energy (the motor itself). its just some different concepts covered in one machine. But this also shows where future technoogies are leading too. Its not about getting ore enrgy than befor, its about having perfect energy-transmission between different forms of energy. this one shows how to translate electrical to solar (LED), solar to electrical (Solar-cells) and electrical to motion (the motor itself (what is the real message of the video)). You dont need to have zero-point energy if you are able to convert all forms of energy nearly without any loose (unwanted energy transmissions in energy-forms that we can handle that well (temperature)). An den Erbauer: Super Ingenieurs-Leistung!! Arbeite selber im Labor für Analog- und Opto-Elektronik :)

[@sirdee9607]

Schönes Stück Technik, genial

[@65iii]

Hallo Wolfram: Wow, bin absolut fasziniert... Eine Wissensfrage: Wenn ich die Sequenz ab 2:00 richtig interpretiere, betreibt der Motor die LEDs. Wenn doch der Motor (NACH einer wie auch immer gearteten Anfangsenergie) die LEDs betreibt und diese Energie als einzige Lichtquelle wiederum den Motor, ist das dann nicht ein Perpetuum mobile? Oder geht irgendwann der Lorentzkraft "der Saft" aus und der Motor wird langsamer, das Licht schwächer und der Motor kommt zum Stillstand? Noch ne zweite Frage: Ist dein Motor der einzige 12-flächige? Wenn ja, was ist der Vorteil gegenüber den 4- und 8-flächigen Motoren? Schon mal über eine Vermarktung nachgedacht?

[@VideoWolfram]

Hallo Ingo,vielen Dank für dein Interesse. Ein Perpetuum mobile ist nur ein Traum und wird es auf diesem Planeten niemals geben. Energie geht nie verloren und wird auch nie erzeugt. Energie kann nur von einer Form in eine andere umgewandelt werden. Es ist nicht möglich 100 % Energie, zu 100 % Energie einer anderen Form umzuwandeln. Die Effizienz ist immer kleiner als 100 %. Am Ende aller Umwandlungen steht die Wärme. Der Vorteil des Zwölfflächigen besteht darin, dass der Motor durch seine zwölf Flächen sehr ruhig dreht und bei sehr geringem Umgebungslicht ( Teelicht oder trübes Tageslicht in der Wohnung ) selbstständig anläuft. In dieser Größe und mit seinen zwölf Flächen ist er einzigartig. Es war der Reiz, die Herausforderung und die Freude eine Idee zu verwirklichen, die es so noch nicht gab. Und dabei möchte ich es auch belassen. Gruß Wolfram

[@VideoWolfram]

Good evening Matyas, thank you for your question. In a vacuum the Mendocino - Motor would rotate longer and with less light, because it has nearly no friction resistance.

[@demef758]

Do you just like turning things, or do you wish to do something useful with turning things? This motor will not do the latter, even in a vacuum.

[@matthewelliott9227]

brilliant design, beautiful motor, but its nto free energy if there has to be sun getting it to work

[@GrazianoDIgnazio]

At present, this is a novelty; it has a very low power output. Some motors even rotate in the shine of a tealight. Mostly the motor is used as technical decoration or as functional model.

[@carolwickenkamp4603]

This motor is operating by the light from a tealight. Low power output need not be a problem if the application is powering low energy devices such as mp3, LED, recharging devices, etc

[@TheSatanel]

Does it carry a load? Can it spin a generator? Otherwise what's the purpose?

[@architect_alex]

Sagen Sie mir drei Solarzellen auf der einen Seite des Rotors parallel oder sequentiell verbunden? Und was ist der Grund für eine solche Verbindung? Скажите, три фотоэлемента на одной грани ротора соединены параллельно или последовательно? И чем обусловлено такое соединение?

[@VideoWolfram]

Hallo, 100 Windungen pro Wicklung. Eine Wicklung gleich 9,5 Ω Mehr Informationen unter: www.mendocinomotor.eu

[@architect_alex]

+Glatthar Wolfram. Meiner Meinung nach wäre es besser, nicht 0,315 mm und 0,2 mm Draht verwenden... Dies würde das Gewicht des Rotors deutlich reduzieren! Es wäre besser, die Anzeige Gesamtzahl der Umdrehungen und die Drehzahl des Rotors nicht angezeigt. Mein Rotor mit 4 Fotozellen 0,5V 150mA die Sonne bei 3000 u/min dreht. Sein Gewicht 52 Gr. (zusammen mit rotierenden Magneten), wicklung 2 bis 180 dreht 0,2 mm. Draht Wicklung Widerstand - 16 Ω. На мой взгляд было бы целесообразнее использовать провод не 0,315 мм., а 0,2 мм.. Это существенно уменьшило бы вес ротора !! Было бы лучше чтобы индикатор отображал не суммарное количество оборотов, а скорость вращения ротора. Мой ротор с 4 фотоэлементами 0,5 В 150 мА на солнце вращается со скоростью 3000 об/мин. Его вес 52 гр.(вместе с роторными магнитами), 2 обмотки по 180 вит., провод 0,2 мм., сопротивление обмотки - 16 Ω.

[@kozaczi]

So You have got 36 panells which can produce 0,4A and 0,5V so each is giving 0,2W multiply by 36 items we have 7,2W. Question is how much power You can get above that by Your machine? If it is lower than 7,2W its just a toy then.

[@wildwoodswarriors1676]

Yes I get it makes power but the cells alone make very little power nothing close in the range of even 1 kw of power or more hence why rpm's are very important in its spin

[@demef758]

If the motor's power source "make very little power," then how, pray tell, do you expect MORE power out of it than goes into it? You never took a physics course, did you?

[@donpoole8617]

Will this thing generate electricity? A Stirling engine will and the power produced by a large Stirlings will actually drive machines.

[@demef758]

Think about what you're saying, Don. It's got solar cells to pull power from the sun, which then turns the motor and supplies a small amount of rotational power. And you want it to then generate electricity? You see the circular logic here? Bypass the (very expensive) motor and just use the damned solar cells for your electricity!!! What good is the motor other than adding another few thousand dollars to your generation system cost?

Kleiner Tipp für die Lagerung: Auch über Magnete links / rechts von unf auf der Welle machen, sodass es wirklich reibungslos - bis auf den Luftwiderstand - läuft. ... und ein Designfehler hat dieses Konzept: die Solarzellen müssten nicht rotieren, um die benötigte Energie zu liefern - also: drahtlos übertragen von außerhalb, also Spule(n) in in den Sockel, Magnete zentraler auf die Drehachse, und die Höhe der Achse anpassen.

Hey OSOCO, maybe you are right. And we know, people think it's all about klickbait. But for me it just makes fun, to be creative in videos or pictures. And this Mendocino-Motor was (at this point at time) the biggest known in the world. So the thumbnail is more a hyperbole.

[@osoco7294]

Well, you actually revealed my narrow mindedness, because now that you said it, I think it's quite obvious that this was indeed humorous/clever act - I mean it's so HUGE in the thumbnail, that one must have my level of IQ to not see it. I wan't to believe that my blindness was partly caused by my experiences with actual clickbaits though, lol. Excuse my english.

Putting those solar panels flat and adding battery storage would convert the solar energy to run simple electric motor more efficiently into mechanical power. This design is utterly inefficient.

[@demef758]

The motor's primary accomplishment is the use of frictionless bearings. The design itself is VERY efficient if he can make it turn using candlelight. It just that its torque depends entirely on its light source. Bright sunlight? It will have a small amount of torque. Candlelight? It can't rotate anything but itself.

Too grand music. so fun.

Sure it works and it's neat but it has no power.

Got to start somewhere! If this sort of technology were to have been advanced and improved upon 30 years ago, who knows where it's be today. I'm sure it has been studied and anything positive gleaned from it was locked away by some petroleum chemical lab somewhere on the planet.

Thank you very much! :)

[@SEAMAN-nanagat.]

Wow cool😎

[@whitbayles8773]

what good is this? it is a free source of energy, do you think the way things are with our electric companies that they will allow us to get electricity for free?????? good luck with with that ?

[@VestigialHead]

+Whit Bayles Huh? What are you talking about. You can already get energy free from the sun and sell it back to the power companies.

[@computermangr]

add leds :D
