Hi DonaldWfc
I do not think that it would work on $10 mags, here in Australia that would be around $A20, list for these is $A64, but when you buy more the price drops dramatically. I have to buy two slabs of alum, 1200x1200mm one at 40mm and the other at 6mm, so you see this is not some toy, it is a commercial project, if my tests work out. This is why I will not be able to explain the really nitty gritty stuff, if the 'client' goes for the design after tests and I am happy, then I will as you may understand have to keep quiet about most of it, but it does not stop me from telling you of the progress and giving out hints.
I hope you will understand. To me it is a magnet motor/alternator I will not be claiming perpetual motion. The biggest worry of my design at the moment is stopping it I have several option because of the design, I will know better when I get the sample coils wound.
There is a limit to the size that you can go to, in my own opinion, mostly a practical one.
I think that the maximum that I would be able to get to would be around the 25kw, at 240v that’s 104amps, or at 110v a wopping 227amps. To me this could be the max, but if there was an extra mag unit on it, then it could possible go higher. For me the 12 to 16kW unit is about the right size to market. May be a 6kW unit as well
Who know I may bomb out like the rest, but I do not work on any thing that does not have at least an 80% chance of working, that is why pre testing is important.
