Hi Richard, There are a few reasons for why I am playing with this gear but yea there are many ways to setup timing circuits. I have built tons of...

For my purpose this one is doing a nice job but it could be a problem at higher speeds. It makes a clacking noise that makes it seem more clunky than...

Today I am posting a video showing my reduction gear system for cap dumping. This is not the full system but rather a look at the mechanical portion....

These are a couple of resources for those that are interested for wiring and running a true BLDC motor. ...

The magnetic lock with the 12 magnets = the 12 stators was just too strong. I had the coils wound with 3 sets of 4 in series. It took shorting the...

Hey Richard thanks for the reply, You will note that I stated "one of the primary goals" in my latest post. I have not published, to date, any...

From the very beginning of this replication one of the primary goals was to demonstrate that the ZFM design concept is capable of performing work in...

A full battery of testing was completed for the rotor Neo upgrade (1"Dx3/8"T) using firing durations of 45 to 70 degrees, advance of 10 to 45 degrees...

Hey guys I just shot a quick peek at the machine using that bearing. It's actually not the wheel pictured previously but another version where I put...

Hi All, :) Did a little more experimenting with this set up today. First I wired the two motor coils in parallel instead of in series. It didn't...

Hi Richard, ABEC 1 has the lowest tolerance and hence play in the balls and race. At high speed you will have more vibration compared to a rated...

Careful Richard, Higher rated speeds usually come with a high ABEC rating. From what I can understand this is an ABEC1 bearing. Not rated for a...

Greetings, Today I am posting a chart and video of the machine doing a mode 1 run on a garden battery. Draw is about 700ma and it was about 27...

Hi Brian, :) Thanks. :thanks: Finally got some pictures and a short video. Since opening up the air gaps helped so much while...

Hi Richard, I should have said it's dimension in the first place but it is 8 X 22 X 7 mm. Here is a link. They don't say the RPM rating but it...

This first one is wired for a monopole application and not a BLDC. The magnets on the rotor match the number of stator poles (12).

I got the new ceramic bearing in but still waiting on magnets. Here are some pics of the redesigned wheel which has one bearing in the middle. It...

Hi All, :) No pictures yet, but I did a little more testing today on the flux gate generator powered by the rotary attraction motor. Ran the motor...

Thanks John. Yea I m getting the hang of it. For everything you see there are probably 40 versions leading up to it, not major changes but little...

Hi Bill, :) Tom at Teslagenx.com can provide you with a custom made coil. Here's a link to his order page....

Hello world, The mechanical machine is dead. Ive been unable to buy new commutators for months. Even though the surface area is 15mm wide the...

Interesting how the south overpowers the north, Eh... it would be pretty cool if we could use it to float the rotor.

The iron rotor was cleaned up and sanded after the removal of the damaged Neo's. Received the new set of 1"Dx3/8"T Neo's and installed them with the...

Hi All, :) Finally got the flux gate generator built and belted it up to the rotary attraction motor. The motor is under-powered for this...

I thought so at first too but with how I am doing this you don't need them. The square nut anchors the screw as you tighten it and with two washers...

I made a slight improvement the base piece. Previously I had posts there for mounting store bought terminal blocks but I created terminal blocks on...

Hi Bob, :) I re-sent the message.

Thanks guys. I wired this one up with a small SSR but I am also going to try a BJT build on this platform. Gary I just checked and there was...

Hi Bob, That looks pretty neat! And just in case you missed it, I sent you a PM.
