Hello
I want to share with you, my new idea of magnetic accelerator, which can help understand the principle behind stan EPG
I believe that a transformer where its core is subdivided into sections of opposing magnets inside a circular copper tube, where the magnets are spaced between each other by their repulsion force and are free to move... will be able to amplify the energy applied to it by selecting when to input energy and where and when to release energy.
With the magnets opposing each other they remain spaced apart. If you now put a coil between them and energize it, both magnets will be accelerated in the same direction, because one is being attracted to the center of the coil and the other is being repelled given the like polarities, while they also still repel each other...
According to the speed of the magnets the frequency needed to be applied is determined. So as they increase the speed the frequency is increased.. the drive coils arranged around the ring also with opposing polarities.
The output wave form will be like two positive pulses followed by two negative pulses for each cycle of the applied frequency...
The copper tube; Is there to perform like a shorted turn in a transformer, this lets you to design the primary of this special transformer, to determine the magneto motive force (amperes in the shorted turn) limited to the power dissipation of the tube... The secondary can be between the drive coil where it would tap only the induction derived by the magnet passing, or over the primary where its relation of impedance will need to balance with the current flowing into the tube...
The magnetic particles; This are small magnets arranged in a way that they can't spin inside the tube, only flow linearly. They oppose each other so there is a space relationship between them.
Where the energy come from? If you start applying energy into a coil and the magnet is inside it, you have a permeability, as the magnet goes out you lowered the inductance, so higher current flow, now as the other magnet gets inside the coil the inductance is now increased again. Energy stored in a coil is = to E=I^2*L/2 So if you input a big current at low voltage and than takes out the same current at a greater voltage you get more energy out than in...
The magnet aways want to go to the center of the coil when you energize it with dc, that happens because the center of the coil is where the magnetic field of the coil is divided. I started this experiment making a toroidal coil, and inserting a magnet inside it and applying dc, the result is the magnet wont go anywhere because in a toroidal coil anywhere is like the center of the solenoid in terms of where is north and south division.
Frequency: If a lower frequency than ideal is applied the magnets will only go back and forwards, at the right frequency they will get the max speed, and much above it they stop. Probably will depend on the load, so the goal is to determine the frequency range and look after it...
I'm using 1/8 inch copper tube...
The diameter of the ring, number of coils and number of magnets are correlated...
A full wave H bridge driver is needed i guess...
