Thanks for the concern Dennis and Aaron.

The dry Neo assembly was done to check the fits and forces involved on the rotor prior to applying the adhesive. The rotor was not in the motor and this...

The machine shop came through with the motor parts today. The parts completed were the Timing rotor and the 6 Pole Neo rotor. Tried a dry assembly of the Neo magnet components along with a steel rod...

Joe - the Oscope wave should a form of square like wave, but with a 24 volt input to the two coil leads it should show +/- 24v on the scope. One scope lead to one coil wire and the lead's ground to...

Joe,

Welcome to the very exclusive (at this point) and very limited ZFM club that have experienced a rotor failure at high speed. Needless to say, glad all is well.

Most experimenters do not...

Latest vid demonstrates that you have overcome the initial setup problems. The reed switch support and positioning assembly is well done - this certainly will help with the timing. Assume that you...

Hey RS,

Great and detailed effort in showing the inner workings of the Bedini FW. The experiment depicting the magnets' field is excellent using the Hall sensors in combination with the Oscope....

Hello to all,

Prolonged tweaking and calibration of the the 6 pole ZFM motor has resulted in the virtual pole positions to be all very close to the desired 60 degree arc angle. So all the...

Hey RS,

The 3 coil arrangement is a straight progression from the 2 coil ZFM and the rotor is a 6 pole Neo arrangement. Coils have been made without a trigger wire and they are a 45 degree arc...

Joster,

The three coil design was a brain cramp on my part as a logical progression of the original 2 coil ZFM. I did not realize that the different Neo config would create the coil pole...

Finally completed the coil winding segment of this project and assembled the 6 rotor pole YZFM. Cheating a bit here by using a 4 pole unit with 2 Neo's - pics are below.

The next step is to...

Checked out the YT link this morning, your ZFM Motor runs very smoothly and is very quiet. Great build!!!

Love the pillow block design and construction using the 3D printer.

Joe,

The recovery circuit is just an add on and not necessary for operation of the ZFM circuit. The overheating of the transistors can be caused by several things, one primary reason is that the...

I like your attitude!!!
:clap:

In the latest set of experiments the 45 degree coil in the standard ZFM and rotor exhibited a 70 degree virtual coil pole arc with the coil radial distance increased by 0.24" over the prior...

Greetings to all the wanderers of the aether,
Having concluded the first phase of the next generation ZFM, one can now go forward to the actual design phase of this project. Please bear in mind that...

Over the weekend a 45 degree coil (210 ft #20 mag wire) was wrapped and installed in the existing YZFM motor body using the same rotor and Neo config as the prior N-S test. Same degree wheel, 12v...

Spinning my wheels here with this post - moving to a .PDF file to keep the information flowing. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Just tried a three paragraph copy and paste from the Word document I have been using to Quick Reply. Clicking the Post Reply button gives a "do you want to leave page" message. Pushing yes button...

Aaron,

Tried another computer with Win7Pro with the same negative results. Frustrating, but then again I can post sometime in the future. I will continue my experiments irregardless of these speed...

Hey Aaron,

Still having issues in not being able to post over a 100 words or so when in advanced mode. Preview of post yields a blank screen and then wind up not being able to to bring up EFS site...

Functionality Test

Gary,

Appreciate your encouragement on this experiment and will attempt to partially answer your what if questions as follows:

1) The two pole arrangements are very similar in the torque...

The third experiment in this series was a trial with a rotor N-S configuration on the same Aluminum rotor/shaft as the prior test. The right single coil was energized with a 12v LAB and the voltage...
