I tested the RVIC, and I've seen some results that show promise and are worthy of further experimentation. I have not been able to replicate all the conditions stated in the patent yet, so there is more work to do. I wont be working on this again until summer.
This is the biggest topic on the entire forum, and I left it dead for about a year after I first wired up the RVIC and it didn't work, the reason why it didn't work was because in any three phase machine you have to wire one phase backwards, when you do this, it comes alive.
I want to share this video with you all as a hint that there more to learn and results to be gained by building the older systems. The Resonant Cell is all the rage today, and may be a more important path, but the alternator path does work. Stan ran the dune buggy on it, and he wrote in the news letter that he wanted to get it ready for mass production.
The RVIC is 3 VICs in one, it's the same, in just a different form. You can't use a plain old alternator like 50 people have tried, you have to wind a VIC inside it.
Some notes: (and all of these may apply to other VICs too)
The core must be unipolar, you can not have any ac waves in the core, or it destroys the blocking diode pulse action, I had one diode fail and I saw this, so I need more diodes to continue, and these were 1200 volt 30 amp diodes.
I think the grounding is important, not floating, I have more things I want to try in this area.
I have not been able to pulse the rotor yet, I think this is important, the alternator puts out 480-500 Hz with multiple pulses, so the scope sometimes reads 1-2 kHz depending on what it counts as a pulse. It would be nice to slice this up more at 5 kHz
I think my cell is too small. This system was designed to work on a big cell, I think for the same alternator and power, a bigger cell would put out more gas.
1/2 Horsepower motor might be too small, when I put 2 amps into the rotor I know it's near the limit, I did bog the motor down once, as you put more current into the rotor, the voltage goes up a lot, It would be nice to see what it can do with just a little more than 2 amps in the rotor, but Stan said he used 2 amps.
