I'm in Japan. Buying and shipping to Japan a new complete 45lbs+ motor will cost hundreds of $$$. That's out of the equation for me.
Through years of testing trials and errors, I'm convinced that the asymetric motors will exceed the OEM motors. Between the torque and high RPMs, it gives us enough room to adjust the Timing and gearing to out perform a standard motor. At the beginning I was skeptical but I wanted to try and learn something new... Keep an Open Mind
Testing and building can be very frustrating. It costs a lot of time, money, effort and trust. You have to remember, no one is getting paid for this! We have gone through a lot of the hard work and some guidelines have been proven/specs. Constructive criticism on how to improve the system should be given after a person has built an asymetric motor built within the specs/tolerances that have been stated.
We have done a lot of this work and and there is still a lot that must still be done but... Now, it's time to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor. Im not too concerned with testing for now. Currently, I'm building an Electric Motorcycle to ride around town with my All North Imperial motor. I incourage people to do like wise... For me, it's spring! Enjoy the outdoors with 0/Zero emissions!

If the resistance proves to low on a fender or bike frame, he could try a couple of steel plates in a bucket of salt water. It really doesn't matter and isn't too risky to experiment to get the proper resistance for 36V and 128A. For a short duration load test, 4600W isn't going to make a ton of heat. Hey, there's an idea, maybe he can find some heater elements to use for the load.

Thanks, from a new guy,

Ok, I will try to 'clarify' your 'doubts' referring to the Test done back then:
The Post 3132 is at page 105
And the Test Video:
[VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPum7B65e1w[/VIDEO]
So, let's get "Chronological" here...
If You take a closer look at the Date on that Test Video, it was Dec 18 2012, then between Dec 23 to 24 of 2012 (Same Year, Christmas Eve, nice dinner right?)...well between those two days I uploaded all three Imperial Asymmetrical Winding Tutorials of about 25-30 minutes each.
Then on Dec 29 to Jan 2nd, I uploaded all the Torque Testing Videos...
I am not sure about your knowledge on this kind of Asymmetrical machines, as I really can not make out what kind of electrical background you have...I have never seen you around before, but it is ok, am used to see "Parachuters" just land and start asking questions as putting some doubts about this whole Thread...believe me...it is kind of a 'normal' "business as usual" deal here...
But I guess you are -somehow- kind of knowledgeable about basic electrical fundamental concepts, and you do not need to be an Engineer to understand.
This Test was done with Two separate Inputs to Two Separate Circuits, however, the DC Amp Clamp was on the Negative side before the "Y" Split to the two switches for the two Inputs.
Now, this Machines run, based on Open Circuits,open Coils being ON-OFF all the time during operation, therefore, Amperage is NOT continuous like you find in a typical Closed Circuit Motor, which is constant DC Amps.
Unfortunately, We can not go out "shopping" right now and find everywhere a Pulsed Amp DC Clamp Meter...and if you know where we could find it, please let us know.
The fact is that Amps decrease considerably when Both Inputs are On after a small delay period, and this triggered a lot, I mean a lot of different kind of connections and controller search and new designs in all following posts after that particular date...where Sir John Stone made the "Monster Pulser" which could do that job along with Arduino Microprocessors.
The Imperial Test was a failed one because of bad connections done before getting the Diagrams for testing-connecting, and they burn motor, because they did not know, and have never before worked with this type of machines.
And then You wrote again...

Your impressions of your machine's capability are only that, impressions, and not data.
And, please let me add to the 'characteristics' of this Thread...that it reached over 900,000 views in that short time...while the other high end two were started about ten(10) to five (5) years ago...
Not bad Uh?
That would be easily done by coupling the shafts and running the OEM motor as a generator with a resistor across the terminals. Any piece of steel like an old bike frame, fender, pipe or fence with jumper cables would suffice. A couple of clamp ammeters and voltmeters and you have a head to head test to see how they stack up.
Maybe someday,

Indeed it sounds like a very Scientific and Convincing Testing...am all eyes!!

They went on to mystically accept how it was a necessary part of the motor process of converting electricity into motion...
I found an interesting reference just today in another thread here: http://www.energeticforum.com/274124-post15.html That reference is here: Electrical curriculum: What is Voltage? From that reference this quote:Imagine a waterwheel being turned by a stream of water pouring from above. If the water is like the flowing electric charge, and the waterwheel is like an electric motor, then what is voltage? Voltage is like the height of the stream at the top of the wheel, or like its slope from the top of the wheel to the pool below. Without a height difference, there can be no water current and no work done by the waterwheel. Without a voltage difference across an electric motor, there can be no electric current and no work done by the motor.

Looking for test data
Thanks for the reply Midaz,
I assume you start your post concerning the Imperial test. And confirm it was a failure with no data collected.
And that you offer no other test. So there has been no documented load test showing measured input and output. It does seem odd that for a thread of over 7000 posts and over two and a half years, nobody has yet tested a machine. Your impressions of your machine's capability are only that, impressions, and not data.
I would like to see how the OEMs 36v @128 amps = 4600 watts, stacks up one more time, watts for watts.
Maybe someday,

At that time of testing, it's only a small snapshot of what we were trying to do.
The first thing that needed to be done was test the motor "North/South wind" on a DC Power supply... That was an invalid test because the motor may have been connected incorrectly. Also the motor commutators were badly burned/scorched when returned... So, that testing was very iffy, NG.
Here are the specs from the OEM for the P56 frame.
http://www.imperialelectric.com/pdfs/imperial_pmm.pdf
Secondly, my motor was tested here in Japan. I was still trying/playing/learning about setting the timing. My motor sparked heavily also but I wasn't confident with my timing of my motor... I may not have done it correctly... It was spinning but it wasn't spinning strongly like other member's motors.
Now that I understand "How to Set the TIMING"...correctly. Ive seen major improvements!
1.) In the RPMs, my current All North motor is over 3600rpms @ 24v... Max from the OEM @ 36v is 3000rpms in any type of winding they use.
2.) Secondly the OEM Max torque is 15nm/11ft lbs... My current motor is way over the OEM's torque.. I don't have the proper test equipment but it has to be 3x that.
3.) OEM 36v is pulling 128 amps in their 5hp /motor = 4600 watts... Again, I don't have the proper equipment to check the Amps on my all north motor.
4.) Sparking is ALOT less.
Since I/we have learned more since the OEMs test results, I would like to see how the OEMs 36v @128 amps = 4600 watts, stacks up one more time, watts for watts.
I've learned that TIMING is crucial for asymmetric motors!

The post with most of the confusion around testing is in UFO's post #7338 which is number 6 in the sequence of the history to the event.

My pleasure friend, it only took me the time to get the box, write number and post it...minutes of time.
I have completed over a hundred timing tests with 4 different windings and am digesting the results now. I have tested the motor pairs, the generator pairs and the both of them under power. I have had to rewind and repair rotors and now have a bank of proof to put together in the form of movies on each winding. The results have been more instructive than I ever would have thought they would be.
I really appreciate all you are doing here by yourself Garry, but am sure it is very rewarding to see the great results obtained...the power of learning is one of the best capability we own...but sharing what we've learned and experienced is the sky in itself within Us.
Truly the all north in all three configurations that I have wound have out performed the symmetrical oem version of the goldmine motors.
There is a "basic knowledge" required about Magnetism and Ferromagnetism Influences/Exchange properties... in order to understand the reason why the all North work so beautiful...but I will explain that in my other Thread coming soon...
The problem that most have with these motors in my opinion is the lack of patience to truly apply a scientific method to their research.
It is not enough to just put one together. Do you think it was easy for the early researchers to come up with the amazing results they did over a hundred years ago. No they worked constantly on their models until they came up with consistently reproducible results. I am reminded of the early hot rodders that were on every street corner when I was growing up. Taking their stock engines, polishing and porting the valves, reworking the cam timings and carburetion. Trying to get that last little bit of performance out of each model.
Yes, the old machines...to get them in right timing is a real pain in the neck...I have worked there...I have replaced timing chains, sprockets...distributor shafts...guides, etc...I have rebuilt so many carburetors...Webber, Holley...Two and Four Barrel...rebuilt Electronic Diesel Fuel Pumps, Heads removal and Replacement...I know almost everything about Fuel Engines friend...and just a "hair" off ...and the thing will start misfiring like crazy...or the whole thing could collapse, just because of a miss calculation...and boom...gone...right?
I have another day of testing before I am finished and then I will try to publish the videos based on all of these findings so others can see for themselves the amazing results that I am seeing.
Raul I would like to consider with you the problem of torque testing where an electric motor is brought to a stall. I think that most of these tests were developed for steam and gasoline engines and not electric motors and the tests themselves are destructive for a high performance electric motor. When you stall an electric motor you are creating a short across the motor winding that the brush pair is feeding. As you are aware our motors are capable of carrying much higher amounts of voltage and amperage than the oem motors are in every situation except one, A Dead Short which occurs at stall. The only way these motors should ever be tested to a stall is with a circuit breaker installed or fuse to protect the motor against a dead short situation. Better to replace a fuse or reset a breaker than rewind a motor. Just food for thought.
Cheers
Garry
On my whole research I have found a very simple method...and I have tested like that and it has worked out perfectly well.
Just "replace" the asymmetrical motor within an specific appliance or tool or equipment...vehicle, etc...that do some work...a drill, a weed-eater...a scooter...any electric vehicle...including a Golf Car...an R/C Toy...whatever can render some "performance" and then compare...OEM, versus Asymmetric...then you will see the "magic" during the testing...it is simple, just got to find the right tool, or vehicle, equipment, appliance, etc to house both motors without major complications, easy R&R...and the rest is just filming it and enjoying the show...
When we stall a larger number of coils machine...in a stop...just the circuit at short will burn out...like an Imperial...28 slots...56 Coils in Pairs...burn Two Pairs 180º across with two inputs On, and still keep enjoying the other 54...now do that with a symmetric Imperial...and watch the whole thing get on fire ......say it was connected on a Bike...just push it out of that burnt sequence and ROOOAM...is on again...it will take you to the destination....but it is not the way though...I agree.
Garry, my best regards to Members like You here!!...it does not matter if is just one who makes it through success...a million will watch and learn from your work alone!
Looking forward to see those videos my friend!
Cheers

Tank Circuits
@Sampojo
Sorry I didn't get back to your question earlier. The method that I was discussing and will be testing after the timing tests are finished and the videos are edited and released will be a type of tank circuit that UFO has been demonstrating on many of his applications. The first time that I saw it was on his cold electricity coil. In the other thread at the beginning this was used. I have looked at this and John Bedini's method of charging batteries with the SSG charger and have seen a similarity in the two. In addition to this I have replicated and built several solid state chargers Imhotep's which I know you are familiar with and the Tesla Switch which was developed by a contemporary of Tesla, Ron Cole. There have been various successful replications of this device which seems basic in it's concept but most agree that the timing is somewhat difficult to accomplish. Electrodyne Corporation had a successful replication with a mechanical switching device and Bedini successfully replicated a solid state device. I am experimenting with a new take on merging three methods to collect energy from the bemf of the pulses that we use for powering the motor, into a bank of capacitors. I have a couple of tests in mind that I have tested that demonstrate why PWM is inferior to incremental increases in frequency. This is still experimental and I will demonstrate how that once you move the motor above the 50% duty cycle in the pwm controller the coils start generating more heat and actually stop generating electricity through the bemf. The coils at the top of the duty cycle range become so charged with current that other coils are becoming inductive. This could be collected and recycled but there is a loss of energy due to the motor coils becoming extremely hot. I will go over this in more detail prior to the tests.
Cheers
Garry

Hi UFO
I have not 'flown away'.
I thought it was right and best to not continue to argue a point on timing which I well understand and so I retired graciously from the discussion to avoid detracting from the excellent work from you and all the other hard working people that give their time and effort freely to promote this important work.
I'm disappointed to see the other things you have said about me and my work here but will not defend or justify it here as I believe it would not be correct to do so.
It is however an extremely important foot note that I must make. I have never stated or implied your Asymm design is a failure. I would not have spent so much time trying to replicate it if I believed that. If there is any failure, it is mine. I tried and failed to replicate your design. That is all that has happened.
As I say, I will continue to try and replicate your work in my efforts to develop a different scooter/dirt bike platform.
I wish you the very best in this and every project.
With best regards
mark

Mark,
This is what I was referring to:
[IMG][/IMG]
On left was all your original basic rotor-commutator structures during all your prior wrong testing, look at your Commutator Diameter, and then...
Look at your latest (yesterday) design on right...You drew the Commutator and Brush in a completely different scale, much bigger this time while keeping the same rotor diameter...
Also, in this later CAD, you "decided" to set the P1 Commutator Contact Element..."in another place"...messing up the whole timing that you had established before.
And of course, P2 is missing...what for right?...just with P1 alone proves your "point".
This is called "INCONSISTENCY" on CAD's design....out of scale models and all relating to the SAME, EXACT Structure, and of course the later model is going to "BENEFIT" what you are claiming having an issue, a problem with...right?
Take a look at Picture below Mark:
[IMG][/IMG]
I am pretty sure you knew about all this right Mark?...so, do you think it would be EXACTLY the same to sweep Commutator Element-Brush at left as the smaller one at right?!
Of course not!...smaller circumference switching plates/brush are going to turn on-off faster than wider area switching at left image.
AND BOTH WITH SAME EXACT 30º ANGLES, AND TURNING THE SAME ROTOR DIAMETER.
That was the reason why I asked previously about getting into "the same page", a SCALED EXACT CAD MODEL to run all this switching, otherwise you and I are WASTING OUR TIME HERE!!!
And then You "Fly away"...
You did an excellent job Mark!
One thing that caught my attention...was the fact that even being warned by me and many other Members here WAY BEFORE, YOU KEPT GOING with the WRONG SETTINGS...building all your "Beasts #"...right?
No matter I told you many, many times there WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH ALL YOUR SETTINGS.
But NOPE...You built several, I mean several Models WITH A CONTINUOUS "BRAKING OPTION INCLUDED" in the package, and VERY CAREFULLY TEST THEM ONE BY ONE...just to prove ALL OF THEM WERE A MERE FAILURE.
So Asymmetric Machines are a complete FAILURE...a waste of time.
Then you turned into the very old one commutator arrangement motor...and yes, vualá...it WORKED GREAT...better than ALL ASYMMETRIC ONES!!!
The only thing your tests triggered very well...was all the BS that merged here...all "My Old Friends" stepped in to finish the "Grace Shot"...
All this crap just consumed some of my sweet and valuable time...again.
So Mark, excellent job you did here...thanks a lot!
HOWEVER, I am STILL HERE, CONVINCED MY Machines are FAR SUPERIOR THAN ANY "OEM" OUT THERE IN THE SYMMETRIC WORLD...No matter what ANYONE have to say about them.
I just don't have time to be wasted on crap like this anymore.
Adiós, keep hunting for the "next catch"...
