BobZilla's Custom Build

[BobZilla]

Thanks guys.

Today I am posting a picture of the magnets mounted in the flywheel and also one showing how I clamped the superpoles. I used Gorilla glue epoxy for the job. It is my first time trying this particular glue but it seems to be holding very well. In the past I have used JB weld but that stuff is black and I wanted a cleaner look.

Anyway I know this is not too exciting so far but I am posting with the idea that once this thing is done I will have a little chronicle of it being built. You never know what little details might be helpful to someone, like what glue you use or the size of your wheel etc..



I did have to get out my dremel and do a little bit of shaving to get my magnets in but it was not too bad.

I had the holes machined .879 inch high by .790 inch wide. This measurement was .004 larger in each direction than the specs of the magnets to allow for a little room.

Very nice friend, hope the charging exceeds expectations Aln

Hi BobZilla

That looks like an elegant design...can't wait to see it up-and-running...

Greetings friends,

I am building a new machine and I thought I would share.

This machine will eventually be an 8 coiler with 4 transistors per coil of 18AWG. Initially I can only afford to load it up with 4 coils but I will be adding the last four a little later.

It has a 12 inch aluminum wheel half inch thick. I have had it machined professionally so that the balance and spacing will be very even. Through the middle it will be riding on a half inch chrome plated steel shaft with bearings that are mounted at the outer edge of the frame, in other words it has a fixed axle. The magnet holes have an eighth inch claw to hold the magnets; they will be glued with epoxy as well. It is going to be a super pole configuration made with the standard ceramic C8 grade.

I have an additional wheel which is going to be a generator. This one is 4 inches wide and has magnet holes to accommodate sixteen small samarium cobalt’s. This wheel will ride in front of the main wheel and have generator coils collecting from it.

The frame is quarter inch white polyurethane like they make cutting boards from. Again this is being machined for precision. The depth of the machine will be one foot and connected by 1 inch rods and 1 x 2 x 12 inch bars for feet.

The coils, coil holders and circuit boards will be from TeslagenX. I am using the 4 transistor universal boards, one per coil. There will be busses to connect between the boards for the BCE hookups.

I am attaching a mock up profile picture of how this will look from the side. It may be a little confusing but if you look closely you can see the frame, coil holders, and the wheels. The main wheel is in red in this picture.

Also attached are real pictures of the flywheel. I am still waiting for parts to come in to build this thing but I wanted to show off this flywheel ,,, I am so excited about this project! -----Bob
