I've been kinda tied up as late with numerous weird health issues and the birth of a new grand baby, but I do have some POSITIVE news to share.
The big generator I built has been on ongoing project I have been working on for the last couple years. It had triple rotors, 18 neo magnets, 12 coils and is driven by a razor scooter motor. I was getting AWESOME outputs, but kept having issues with the magnetic lock of the magnets to the iron cores. I kept burning up motors. I tried air cores, ferrite cores, all kinds of things, including rewinding the coils too many times to even THINK about. We ran it as a generator at times and a motor at other times to assist the drive motor. It was rebuilt from the ground up at least four different times.
Finally, I rebuilt it to its present form. The motor runs on a modified 3BGS circuit so that better than 80% of the energy used to run the motor is recovered, but even WITHOUT THAT, the results are enviable.
It's currently putting out around 800 watts, and running on around 120 watts. I say AROUND 120 watts, because it speeds up under load, so the amp draw goes down when the load is added. That's a COP >6 WITHOUT considering the fact that we get back MOST of the power used to run the motor with the circuit we are using. When you factor THAT in, and assume only 50% recovery using the 3BGS circuit, the COP goes up to 12.
There are still THREE major modifications to make, all three of which SHOULD improve performance. I need to wind all new coils to take advantage of some of the things we have learned, and I am NOT looking forward to that. In fact, I have been putting it off until I could come up with a coil winder. However, the success of the current model has me motivated to start that process soon. I have wire on order, and am looking at some custom cores that I know will improve the output tremendously, but cost a bit more than I can afford at this time.
Anyway, I probably only spent 5 or 6 thousand on this one project alone. Now that's what I call "Free Energy."
The really interesting thing is, we have TWO other projects that I am more excited about than I am about THIS one. One is Matt's motor/generator, and the other doesn't use a motor at all to produce energy. It's all batteries and solid state.
