Fantastic tip. On the Monopole the welding rods penetrate the length of the coil. I believe this is due to the fact that using multple pieces of...

I found the discussion for the core material. It was actually in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXMWvloZBgQ (discussion starts at 15:44)...

Ok cool. It sounds like your doing everything right to me. You may be right that it is just a fidgity battery. Keep at it and see where it goes. I...

Brian tell me about your cap dump cycle. How long between pulses and to what voltage does the cap climb before dumping, also does it dump all the way...

My cables have those built in already. They help but if you strat pushing too hard it will still happen but it's good you added them to yours....

Hello group, I have changed the circuit back to a single SSR and am using the genny to supply the trigger again, how it was originally. I blew a...

Hi John, There is really only one commutator C3. The other two are slip rings to transfer power in and out from C3. Ive drawn the switching in...

There was a request for the rotor to have the wall added around the magnets of the rotor. According to my measurements this is going to run the...

Once the two large coils are wound this will be the configuration.

Thanks John, I ordered a different model last night, will see how it can be retrofit when it gets here. I got the rear tyre as it has the gearing...

I was looking at suitable rotors last night and came across this....

Looking forward to your video. You just need to keep working with it and you will get dialed in. Do you have a garden battery you can play...

Posting a few pics today. I have added all the coils, 8 power and one genny. I did change the circuit around a bit when I added all the coils. I...

Find attached charge curve. The charge curve obviously flattens off once the capacitor is charged but thats not the end of the curve we are...

This is good stuff - now you're in it! good times, eh... "...the faster the on time the better." and other than torque vs efficiency, duration makes...

Timing- The book says that a simple mechanical timer is a split commutator slightly less the 180 indicating that the attract and dump are a 50%...

Hi Brian, Thats is up too you really. It will depend on how you set your dumper's on/off AND the size of capacity your using. There are many...

Hi Tom and others. I have been running with this system on my roof for years. http://www.fcubed.com.au/aspx/home.aspx You can pour sea water...

25 - 30 percent make sense, you have cut away two thirds of the rotor. Ironically thats about the number that is thrown about for a standard SG...

Hi Deuis, :) Thanks for asking. :thanks: It runs great and draws only about 500 ma from a 12V battery. It charges pretty well but doesn't...

Damn i missed this one. Great build Gary, hows it going now? Ive been looking at building Peter's motor for years.

Yes it sound to me like your cleaning it too. Is it a wet cell or a sealed? When they start to behave like that I find it is best to get a...

Hey Brian, Sorry buddy I did not notice you made this new post. Now that you are gaining more experiance it might be worth the effort to go...

Thanks guys. I have started adding more coils and it's going well so far.

I suppose you better watch this then and explain it to me. The core is 150mm wide X 25mm thick by 110mm deep. I have wrapped 4 strands of 1.8mm...

Dear diary, Thnkyou santa for supplying the transformer steel, it will do nicely in my new wider bobbin. the loaners from the 10 coiler need to...

That looks great Bob. Thanks for sharing!! DMann

It's ALIVE !!!! Hello Group, It's been awhile in the making but today I am ready to show this machine running. I made a video which is pretty...

Switching is laid out as so. Blue triangle is the harvesting of the inductive collapse. Orange Triangle is the pulse to the coil. One full segment...
