Some crazy harmonics riding up and down the wave.

Test Data on an 8 Filar 18ga Bedini Spec coil in series.
36 Magnets spaced 53mm apart.
Frequency held fairly well but voltage is way down indicating core saturation issues or possibly magnet field problems.

Wheel bead locker with Magnet holder.
Bead nut screws in and the holder locks it from moving with 4mm stainless bolt through the middle.
Centre circle locks into the wheel spoke hole accurately placing the nut at a specified angle in divisions of 10 degrees.

Hi Yaro,

These tests are purely measuring the output spike when a magnet passes the standard coil at measured speed.
The motor is isolated from the circuit and at the moment isn't relevant, however it will be later on.
I was specifically looking at coil voltages and wave patterns So i could deduce the best arrangements.
I wanted to see correlations between velocity, voltage, frequencies and also saturation levels
This test can be used to calibrate magnet strength, determine core saturation and compare to other magnet arrangements soon to come.
For instance I expected a higher voltage with the magnet clusters but this wasn't the case, I assume due to saturation of the core but even at lower RPM the peaks were still smaller than the 12 magnet wheel.
The wheel itself can have any arrangement of up to 36 mounts, I will be posting scalar patterns and also ring magnet passes to identify the best speed / number / type / frequency / core material / coil size so I can accurately figure out my design going forward.
This is all about sorting out the biggest wheel for the least power per magnet pass.
A lot of variables here but I hope someone else can benefit by the posting of raw data on the standard coil.

The ebike wheel itself and power consumption is being used as a yard stick, with better aerodynamics I can reduce power output but it's not a concern of mine yet. I will be using it as a reverse meter of sorts. The SG circuit will be hooked up eventually, isolated from the motor and I can use the motor to assist or create drag for experiments on mechanical loads or power assist.

The adaptability and reliability of the wheel is immense.
No more guessing for me.

Yes the wheel bead nuts, magnet holder and coil holder are all 3D printed.
I was sceptical of 3d printers but they are insanely good.
Once I finished final design work in CAD I just printed as many as I needed.

Yo John,

Happy Valentines Day and thanks for your complete test results and pics on the magnet cluster progression. Nice meaty spikes generated that multiply the output for a minimum additional input. As a suggestion an accompanying chart with the freewheel data without magnets would be useful to establish the input baseline.

For us neophytes it would be useful to briefly explain your goal in these experiments and to broaden the perspective. Nice work on the coil holder - assume that the 3D printer was in play here.

BTW - the attachment in post #11 is MIA.

Thanks for sharing your neat and informative work - glad to see you are still active after a short hiatus.

I removed 24 magnets and spaced 12 around the wheel.
some interesting results.

Coil was completly random (4ohm 5filar) and tuned very roughly.

Calcs with the coil generating were subtracted from free wheel to give actual power used to generate.

Just waking you up! Interesting results to charge that capacitor in 84 sec. Be worth the effort to post a short video of this and the arrangement of the set-up to flesh out the details.

Don't be overly disappointed with the seeming lack of interest - time of the year when a lot is happening. Many are still looking over your shoulder - just do it.

Thanks Yaro,

I'm a simple man so I like to break things into singular steps.
If anyone has any tips or advice on generator coils it would be much appreciated.
I only have so much time for testing before weeks turn into years and projects that never were.

I've built a core out of transformer steel which matches the width of the magnets.
I will be wrapping that in 18ga and comparing to the 3/4'' standard 8 Filar for some base readings.
Currently building various bits and pieces for loads to compare.

Did you see my profile folder pics?

Hey Deuis,

Nice work! Been following your efforts for awhile.

Good to have someone see the forest through the trees.
