Dear Community,
We are planning to purchase brand new, matched batteries in order to continue our experiments. Please provide us some support
Main characteristics of our machine:
- It is an SG model based on the Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced handbook
- 24 magnets, wheel 20"
- Caps: total of 60.000uF
- Cap discharge setup: 18-24V (programmable)
- Cap timing switch: FET
- The Coil was bought from TeslagenX (7+1 wires)
- All other parts are self made, the handbook was strictly followed
- Her name is Sigourney (picture attached)
We have been experimenting with SG mode, although Generator mode is also implemented. Results:
- Optimizations happened (fine tuned base resistor, coil/magnet distance)
- We run the machine on 12V
- Input current: 1,3-1,4 A
- RPM: average is 292 (note the number if magnets)
Other:
- We developed a standard battery discharge method
- From now on we can collect almost every performance counter from the machine (RPM, input/output V, discharge freq, etc.)
About our issue, in which we need support:
We plan to continue the experiments with C20 rate battery setup, and plan to use the following batteries:
- Input: 2 pieces of 18Ah 12V gel batteries in paralel
- Output: 2 pieces of 18Ah 12V gel batteries in paralel
(these batteries are cost effective here)
Our questions:
- Primarily: do you think the planned batteries are optimal for the next research phase? If not, would you suggest an alternative approach?
- Can you suggest experiments to continue with?
- Can you suggest a method for fine tuning the cap discharge limits?
- plus 1: is there any obvious (not for us ) improvements we should make next?
Of course, we'd like to achieve encouraging results By the way, English is not our mother language and we can hardly get parts from U.S., basically only from Europe. But we are creative
Thanks in advance,
Zol
