Basic Free Energy Device

[Matthew Jones]

Some of those circuit have to have a true ground connection. They will not work without it. Linear has few chips that act up when your not on real ground.

I do not know about that one in particular. But seeing it 12v - 80v I would not purchase it. You need something that can run as low as 7 volt up 15v. The potential difference closes quick.

I like solid state locking relays but they tend cost a bit for the power they can handle.
But as far as you guys are concerned you can do what your trying to do easily with Arduino.Ada Fruit Metro mini or equivalent, a TLE7231g SPI interfaced, Power distributor.
The Arduino has enough ADC port to read all the batt voltages and based on that you communicate with the power distributor through SPI to make it turn on what ever switch's you need.
If you only have 4 battery positions then you have 4 possible scenerio's. You could even just use pins on the Arduino to control that.
Truly thats pretty small project unless you looking to push more than 100 watt.
But remember you need modulation in the current flow and the total voltage on your load and your charge batt need to exceed the total voltage of the serial batts or your power will just wind down slowly. You'll be reasonably efficient but nothing special. Find what I am telling you, and you'll see months of runtime not days. Its not hard to do, but it hard to do with low voltages.
Later you'll realize batteries are not required.

I was wondering why you guys jumped out of the wood work to help clean things up bit. LOL

Low voltage vs high voltage

Matt said this is harder to make work at low voltage, and easier to make work at high voltage. But when you try to scale it up to run your house on it, solar is cheaper. He and I have HAD that discussion many times. But what you CAN do with low voltage is run a small load of less than about 100 watts. This is PERFECT for running a Matt Jones modified razor scooter motor off the potential difference. Like I said before...use THAT to run your generator.

This allows you to build and run generators that would NOT be efficient enough if you had to run them a different way, but are BEAUTIFUL when you can run them for FREE.

I'm not saying I have the BEST idea, but I have a generator I have built that works. How about this one. Two ring magnets with coils in between or two thin steel plates with some big neos on the back in a circle and the coils in between the plates. Both magnets or plates have north toward the coil. Between both ends of the coil you have a rotor of non magnetic stainless steel or mumetal. The rotors are exactly the same except offset so that first one end of the coil is exposed to the magnet and then the other.

No magnetic lock because rotor is non magnetic. No Lenz because there are no moving magnets. And how much do you think that rotor will slow down when you add a load to the generator coils?? Is it the most efficient generator in the world? Nope. But since you can run it on this setup with Matt's motor for a really, really, REALLY long time, does it really matter?

The "laws" are not our enemy. They are a guide for what NOT to do. Spinning magnets are a problem? Don't USE them.

Dave, I'm trying to picture it in my head. Do you mean something similar to this? THE LENZLESS GENERATOR INVENTED BY DAN QUALE

You said non magnetic rotors, but if they are non magnetic it's like they're not there? Maybe I'm not seeing what you mean.

Hi Mario,

There must be eddy currents induced in the steel plate rotors which surely influence the static fields from the stationary magnets with respect to the static fields which may come through the offset without undistorted. So induction in the gen coils can happen.
It is possible that this eddy current loss is small (depends on the plate thickness too) hence the input power for keeping the plates in rotation is needed to defeat the air drag and bearing friction only. Is there any benefit? There may be once Dave tested it.

wouldnt it be easier to work with a 12/36v system or a 24/48v system, as you wouldnt need to push as much current through the boost converter to get the required wattage?

The easiest system to work 48/96. The reason is simple. Most 48 volt island inverters run between 56v and 38 volt.
So a 48 volt bank there and discharge to 48 volt, but a 96 volt serial side can be as high as 108 volt.

So this leaves a lot of potential to work with. The more the better but this why we are encouraging using a boost circuit. It allows you to create the potential.

Matt,

What do you think of this boost converter? It's listed as 8-60 Input Voltage, 20 amp. They cost $17.99. I guess the only things we need to know is if the output is 100% isolated from the input, and if the unit will operate with an input voltage all the way down to 8 volts, right?

Hi Peter,

I'm using similar but 600W rated converters for my Light Therapy units and they share common negative (ground).

Mario,
EXACTLY like that generator. I don't know if it's the BEST idea for a stand alone generator, but it IS an idea.

[Peter Lindemann]

I'll Keep Looking...

V,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep looking for something I can buy to start my experiments in this arena. My time to build experimental circuits is still at a premium.

We know these work and can be paralleled safely with a common cathode diode array.

say if you were running a 24/48v system....is it not possible to run a 2nd boost converter off the 24v battery that was outputting say 72v and then run another inverter inbetween that 72v and the 48v system? or would that cause a short???

The Road

When John B first posted the SG, instead of building it according to John's instructions, everybody took whatever crap they had in a pile and tried to build an SG out of it, and then when it didn't work, they blamed John or said he didn't know what he was talking about. And then more people jumped on board and started talking about all kinds of changes and modifications to the original that THEY were doing and when new people came aboard they were totally confused and didn't know which end was up...especially the people who had little experience with this kind of stuff. Let's not let that happen here.

Now skywatcher had the right idea. He wanted to talk about running the inverter off the potential difference, so he started his own thread on that topic. And we have jumped aboard there because that was something we were already doing. But now we are talking about that here too.

Yes it is a Basic Free Energy Device, but I think the output is limited by what the inverter puts out. Not that it isn't a great system, because it IS, and Bob French and I have been messing with it for months, but unless you are going to buy a PILE of batteries, you are limited in your potential output.

Now a MOTOR can run on the potential difference and the shaft of that motor connected to the PROPER generator can put out way more useful power than the inverter, and that is where I wanted to focus here.

There are really only a few devices that you get ANY benefit out of running between the potentials. A motor (or motor coils), an inverter, and a transformer. All THREE of these topics should be explored.

BroMikey started a thread on splitting the positives, and right now he is showing how to wind Matt's motor to run it on the potential difference. All three of these threads are overlapping and as some of us are contributing on all three, it is getting confusing trying to keep track of what information has been posted where, and some things I think people should already know were posted on the 3 Battery Generating System thread.

I don't know what the solution is, and maybe some others should throw out their opinion as to where we go with all this.

Mario,
This is something I can start experimenting with. Dave said a lenzless generator that can work with the modified Matt motor.(hope I quoted right) Having a lot of the round microwave magnets and scrap metal, I may build a smaller version to test with.

I'm not going to discuss how to build it cause this is new area of learning for me. I've studied Thane Heinz videos with the acceleration under load method. As for conventional generators, I have a bone yard of them. Like my battery bone yard.

I think it would be nice to have a new stickied post that was locked and that covered everything in one single post, and update that stickied post as new information becomes available

It could have 3 sections involving motor, inverter, and generator... which motors to use and how to wind them diagrams... ways to utilize the spike from the windings.... potential generator options that could be used along side( something that was purchaseable or easily modifiable would be nice).... such as a smart drive motor or so on... although im assuming lenzless generator is the way to go with this design

Discussions on using different battery voltages and how the system changes when you use higher or lower battery voltages

Advantages of using a boost converter

Pictures and videos with parts and specifications all on the sticky would be a good place if you are wanting good replications

battery swapping dicscussions and so on.... it doesnt need to be super in depth off the start as long as it continues to get updated in the future

this might not solve all the wrong thread chatter, but will be nice for any newcomer to look at/ be told to look at sticky instead of answering most of the already answered questions

All,

I have a suggestion if you want to archive important posts that have important info, points or advancements that you would like to save and or reference all in one place. Add them all to the your first post, on this thread by editing and adding the info there so it does not get buried.

Or start a new thread and keep it locked with only a few chosen people to act as administrators, that only they can post info pertaining to the advancement of this particular topic by posting all the relative information in the first post, with post number references and or links and keep adding to the list progressively, entry after entry as this thing advances and all will be archived in one simple location. I have seen it done like this on other forums and think it is pretty slick.

Here is an example...
