Hi there
Well the machining is under control here so that I can keep an eye on it, there is still some more work to be done but it does look promising.
At this stage I can not see why it would not work, as some of the technology is already being used. I all ways make some tests, then try and find some thing wrong with the design. Then if I am convinced myself that it has an 80% or better of working, and I would if I had the money would I build it my self.
This is my criteria, I have used it on my other stuff, and this approach has served me well.
The system, to produce a power output, rectify to DC to a battery bank, it will be a pulsed start, it should free run, or it may need a very small input pulsing to keep it running. There should be enough energy to drive a frequency alternator, we have one in mind.
A frequency alternator is the similar to a wind turbine generator, the voltage will rise proportionally with the speed. Only most have limitations, like if it goes to fast, to slow.
I am hoping that I will not need to use the alternator, that the unit will have enough to power its self, if needed and to produce a big enough use full output. This size of the diameter, I could go larger, the idea here is using leverage to get the highest torque, from what I have.
Well that will do for the moment, this system is to be put to the chap that I was helping, and told him what he had was no good.
Now to spend another $10 to 15,000 on another project may not be acceptable to him, if this is the case then I will consider putting it all in the open.
As I certainly do not have the funds.
