I would have to ship it ahead or something and then also batteries and meters etc, would be quite a lot to try and handle in an unfamiliar place.

    For now I look forward to getting it finished and shoot some video for the forum though.

    Branch I have been thinking about that,, umm the money monster maybe,,, it sure is hungry for my wallet. ;-)
    if you ups the machine in a wood box, we can supply everything else on this end, batteries, meters, spare parts in case something smokes. I would like to see as many machines as possible at the next conference. tesla switches, pendulums, everything we can find.

    the more the merrier!!

    Awesome looking build, BobZilla! Looking forward to seeing it running ( and hopefully hearing it too). I love the sound of the ssg especially when they are dialed in. And thanks for all the work you have shared.

    I think that it needs a nickname.

    The wire harness is made of three buss wires that I put eight tails on so that each board is tied in to the bus rather than daisy chaining the boards. The wire is all 12AWG solid core accept the clip leads I made out of 12AWG braided. On the front there are three switches, on/off, Gen/mode1 ,, and the third is not hooked up yet but it is reserved for the genny coil output.

    Next up will be the coils and boards which are already in the mail ;-)

    Today I have an update for the new machine.

    I received all of the frame pieces I was waiting on and have assembled it. I found that the rods and bars were not exactly even so I had to take them down with a disc sander. Instead of the original 12 inches depth it is actually 11 and 7 eighths; it should not present any problems though.

    I am attaching a front and side view of the bare frame. ----Bob

    Tom that ship sailed a long time ago,,

    Patrick I never thought about using excel to chart that data, I will have to look into doing that. You are right I could export the readings as a txt file but I never thought about how I could use that. Thanks for the suggestion.

    That's not a bad idea to try a 24/24 run either. I am currently charging up the LifePO4's back up. I put them in parallel on the back and used my wall-mart batteries in series on the front. Once that run finishes I could just swap them around and hook up a 24/24 run but it would not be against the same 75AH batteries. I don't expect all too much out of this arrangement anyway, just primarily interested in how he wheel would spin.

    Thanks for keeping interested guys.

    Bob you should not be using the wife's dresser as a workbench, she might get upset

    @ Patrick, did not see the vid.. too bad!

    I like the new wheel!
    is that a 3d hologram I'll have to find my glasses :-) kidding of course. Thank you for continuing to share your work.

    the graph on the primary is always interesting... to see the "spike draw" from the primary punishing those plates.

    Do you have another battery so you can have 24V on the back as well?

    on the chart... you should be able to save that data before you restart, then you can add the end data to it and use excel to make a chart...

    did you happen to catch Kiril Kirilov's new super pole wheel video before he took it down a couple of weeks ago. he had a very nice run as well 12V to 12V it looked OU from the Vid or at least 1:1 He took it down immediately after I made a comment on how nice it was.

    I hope the day finds/is finding everyone well - good times,
    Patrick A

    This setup is using a 4 transistor Teslagenx experimenter board with a small coil.

    On the primary I have two 20AH LifePO4 in series and the charge battery is a 75AH AGM. The run was about 30 hours and I brought the charge from 12.5v to 15.10v,,, it rested about 13v.

    Unfortunately my charge chart had an issue at the last hour and I had to restart the program so there are two charge charts, one is most of the run and the second one is when I had to start new. The primary chart did not have the same problem and represents the whole run.

    I also shot a video of the charge in progress which shows the timing light and rpm checks.

    Hi BobZilla

    Yes, I watched the video with the monitor showing magnetic fields...my son and I are keeping an eye out for a monitor now...hopefully one that puts out a coloured screen so it doesn't need to be hooked up to something. One thing my son discovered was that when he pressed the magnets in superpole position, not all the way together, but maybe 3/8 inch apart, there was a taller spike and less of an opposite pole (using one of those magnetic pole detectors). I gave him my copies of Energy From The Vacuum 4 and 11 with Howard Johnson, and John talking about magnetic gates...I hope this helps him with his ideas for experiments...

    Your rotor looks great...

    Hey James,,, Magnets are a real wonder. The primary driver in this situation is not concerned with lens for me, it am after the sharp switching. This machine is going to have some drag on it for sure with the gen hooked up but it's all part of the plan.

    Get an old CRT Monitor from scrap and let your boy hold his magnets up to it,,, he will love it. Patrick shared that with us and made a great video.

    @ALL

    I am posting some pictures of the small generator wheel I finished up today.

    It is 4 inches wide by a quarter inch thick. The magnets as I said before are small cobolt's. They have a fairly strong pull but not insane like neo's. I laid them in NSNSNS,,, 16 total at 22.5 deg.

    Hi BobZilla

    That looks like a great start.

    My son is experimenting with "pinching the magnets into a superpole at a distance" which means having a small gap between where the magnet pinches. He uses one of those electronic pole indicators. and sees how far away the magnetic field registers and different points around the magnets. He is doing this in regard to formulating a way to have an all magnet motor. He has found that the superpole of the magnet goes out further, and the opposite pole diminishes, sometimes to the point of reducing, to almost nil, any lense effect depending on the angle of the rotor to the stator. I understand that one needs to have a scalar south in this case, but experimenting how space and angle effects magnetic field, in regard to subjects like creating a superpole, might be beneficial...food for thought...
