Thane says that the unit he shows on the bike develops 40 watts of power returned to the bike. It looks to be a 4 coil machine. So 10 watts of power per coil. Scaled up to generate enough power to run a small house at 100 amps x 120 volts that would be around 1200 coils. For a 200 amp service that’s 2,400 coils. Unless of course it is a different component or combination of components that is scaled up. Can’t wait to see that machine. I wonder which combination of components he claims can be increased in size or number or frequency to provide that kind of power output? You can see from the picture that the rotor magnets have no space between them, and there are already 24 magnets on the rotor. 300 more rotors? What will be the cost of that?
It will be up to the next generation to take it to that level, provided of course that Thane discloses the proprietary information about his existing machine, like coil material and coil configuration. I doubt that will happen. Otherwise that info would ALREADY have been disclosed in one of his numerous YouTube videos. Unless the conference is going to be his “big reveal” moment. What are the chances of that?
More than likely this will just be a “show and tell”moment with all the proprietary info remaining undisclosed. What do you want to bet? He would be giving away the farm to disclose all that to anyone with the financial backing to replicate, build a proof of concept replication, and then go into production. Why? Because while Thane holds or has applied for patents on all kinds of coil wiring configurations, I would argue that the Tesla coil configuration is already in the public domain because of the Tesla patent that has long expired. And when all that is required to put a coil in resonance at a constant rpm is waiting until the rotor has achieved a specific rpm before placing the prime mover under load and then having the proper capacitor across the coil to increase its capacitance and achieve resonance for THAT coil at THAT RPM, the only thing we are lacking is knowledge of his coil core material. As long as ALL your coils are the same, anyone can add capacitors across the coil to determine the resonance point. Trial and error, and they make adjustable capacitors
Anyway, can’t wait for the conference to see what is actually disclosed. Step by step building instructions? LOL
