The 3d Monopole Coil How To Build

[Mike Klimesh]

getting close. most of the parts are in, just need to finalize pricing. if we have to hand wind coils it will be expensive, I would rather have everyone buy that hand winder and have the motor be much less expensive.

Ordered one of the hand winders, ready to order your kit when its ready (+_+)

I am using this machine to hand wind my coils. its too small for an SG coil but works really well for small coils. it has a pulley on it so you can find an old sewing machine motor and make it electric. the counting feature is needed for this build.

here is a pic of the motor the stator is 6 inches in diameter, the total coil resistance is 11K ohms.

this is a scope shot off the motor you can see the square wave is the reed and the coil firing, the sine wave is the backcharge from the coils.

We are moving along here, the latest version of the 8 pole back charges the primary. you can place a dead alkaline on the machine and it will charge back up. still working on the bearings for the kit.

Now that's what i'm taking about - nice!

Awesome! No pics? Arrrrrghhh!

Hi everyone! Been away from the forum for a while and found this thread linked up on TeslaGenX. Really exciting stuff! Enjoying watching the progress. Thinking there may be a 3d printer in my future.......

Hey all, Just found this thread from Aaron's newletter (still waiting on the conference video of Graham Gunderson Aaron...) I have been following John for well over a decade and excited to see an open source project with his backing. I have a 3D printer and I'm proficient in SolidWorks. Holler if I can be of any help. I will happily print and mail anything to anyone if you cover the cost of postage and plastic. I have great success with PLA but ABS does not stick to my bed well. (I need some kapton tape). Is anyone publishing STL's yet?

Hi, welcome! Graham's presentations are available through: http://grahamgunderson.com/ou

Hi JB

Looking forward to the new SCR Tracker.....

Look for a email with 1 hour of yesterdays real time Solar data.....

Still waiting on my 3D printer to come in, Gurrrrrrrr.......

Mean while, I have been working on several more 3D things to print, when it finely gets here.......

Looking at the DesignSpark Software now, I have been using FreeCad and it is way better than 123DCad

here is the latest version of the rotor we are working on. it is larger than the EZ spin and as such it will be easier to work on. we are working to make it easy to source all of the parts locally, or we will sell them together as part of the kit. looks like we will be doing this in either ABS or PLA, depends upon how we can source filament at a good price.

Some Things

At All,
I have been very busy trying to get all my work done so in between time I have been working with a new program called Desingspark 3D . The 123 D cad has some problems on windows 8.1 in that it slows down to where you can’t use it. Changing the swap file space does nothing to help, releasing the memory does not do anything, that’s computers? I just thought that I would give a report on the motors I built, they are all still running on the same original battery at 1.5 volts they have only dropped by .001 this whole time since I built them . The new SCR solar chargers are taking a lott of my time as I make sure they all work the same, but anyway I will be posting more designs soon and some STL files. RS I will be talking to you soon as I work out some things. All of you working with EZ spin please post some pictures of your work I would really like to see what you’re doing.

Patrick,

in place of the Caps on each diode, add a battery in a muilty SSG style circuit, so that you are charging several batterys from the same primary, 1 off of each diode. this would act like my 5 for 1 solid state version muilty SSG style circuit that was destroyed in the fire.....

RS

ps, 2 AAA rechargeable or 2 AA rechargeable in series for each diode should work for the batteries in this size energizer circuit....
