steve do you have an external voltage regulator or you just put full power to your brushes
Hi,
No, i do not use an external voltage regulator. I did some tests and I do not like it much.
What I do use depends on what kind of test I wanna do.
I have many options for feeding the rotor with voltage/current.
The way Hydro and I teach here and the way you get resonance, when tuned well, is the pulsed self-sustaining trick.
Rotor powering options:
If you take the output of the 2 diodebridges, meaning the minus and the plus which you can connect to yr wfc, you can split these wires. one set goes to the wfc and one goes to the rotor.
Very simple.
The most important thing, many forget, is that you have to energise the wfc for 3 seconds with a 12V battery.
Then you remove the battery and the alternator is feeding himself and the wfc.
Step1: turn on the drivermotor to turn the alternator
Step2: energise the wfc
Step3: have a good look and have fun with your bubbles.
Remember that this way of providing power to the rotor doesnt produce resonance. But is does provid lots of current and voltage and lots of bubbles. This is simple strait electrolysis with good results.
Step 4: is to use the schematic as provided here in this topic. Thats what gives the best results sofar.
Of course you can put a battery charger on the rotor, or a battery. 6 volts or 12 volts, or use a rectified trafo output.
It really doesnt matter for the rotor.
But remember: The best results are with a pulsed self-sustaining alternator setup, like the schematic here in the topic.
