Let's lay out the machine first. Ebike has motor running at 5 amps and 75vdc approx (without splitting hairs) then lexan boxes in the back end capable of holding 24 coils using both side only has 3 coils send energy back to the batteries. I hope this clears things up. Other consideration for conversion are not discussed as this is standard practice for those who are skilled in the art. "Skilled in the art" someone who half-azzed knows what he is looking at.
ReGenX has already gone into production in 2020 according to Thane.Last edited by BroMikey; 05-01-2020, 09:37 PM.

It is such a simple idea. The ebike motor out of the factory delivers 5 amps at 75vdc (approx)
The ReGenX rotor (Approx 14" dia) with 1" magnets (approx 20) at 1/2" thick pressed into holder sleeves which are press fit/ epoxied. Probably sleeves are spot welded to rotor then mic-ed- then pressed . Next is 3 C Core coils that gently assist the back wheel which in turn slightly eases battery consumption while delivering 5.34 amps back to the battery at the said voltage. Unlimited range is so simple.
If you see what I see then you would know.

How can you charge a battery with a current through the battery which is in the same direction as when it was discharged?
How can you charge a battery when its terminal voltage is lower than its open circuit voltage?

Also note that on the Ebike there is a charge controller. It is located where the gas tank normally is but this is an electric bike. The ReGenX coils probably produce anywhere from 100vac-300vac depending on RPM with each coil producing around 2 amps max in this setting. In previous video's the coils actually have a substantially high max amp rating. 5 amp max but heating up.
Many charge controller are available in electric car systems. As a simplified for instance coils must be designed to produce 20-30vac in a car alternator depending on the RPM of the car's gas engine in order to regulate down to 13.8vdc after including rectification. These systems are not as simple as Thane may make them look. Always remember that Thane is an engineering genius, way out in front of the pack.Last edited by BroMikey; 05-02-2020, 01:01 AM.

You can't charge and discharge a battery simultaneously. And you can't charge a battery at lower potential than it is at open circuit.

Again as per usual your comments are bias and insulting. Ignorance is no excuse for the laws presented. Name calling, very poor taste just as yucky as they come. Please refrain from such speech. If you have something intelligent you may enter a comment.
Cars charge the battery at the same time they are being discharged. The head lights drain the battery and the alternator puts the power back into the battery as needed. In the old days I have removed my battery once the car was started and the system works without a battery, same same happening here.
Again this lack of basic knowledge shows complete ignorance on your part of common systems in use today. Yet you claim preeminence concerning higher learning in energy systems. A back yard mechanic can see right thru.
These demo's are easy to understand. The only complication left is to engage a number of engineers to fit the devices into one package.

Actually you can not charge and discharge the battery simultaneously. When you start the car the alternator charges the battery while all other loads are drawing power from the alternator, the battery at this point is simply another load in the overall circuit. You can remove the battery because your powering the alternator with and external source of energy. If the charging ( or alternator output ) is lower than the load requirements then the output is shared between the battery and alternator output. For instance a 200 watt load with a 100 watt output of the alternator - the alternator would supply 100 watts and a watt meter would show a 100 watt drain on the battery. If the output of the alternator was 200 watts and you had a 100 watt load then the battery would be charged with 100 watts while the load dissipated 100 watts. There really isn't any "magic" going on there nor in Thanes machines...

Just an update. Spoke to Greyland. He was in the shop working last night. He has the generator running on 11.5 volts at 12 amps right now. Will probably test tonight to see if it will speed up under load. It's possible, but I DOUBT it will at that voltage because of the speed. I doubt it is going fast enough. But he has to start somewhere. Will keep you all informed.“Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.”

I have been noticing Thanes charge controller and how important conversion is in the end. I can see why you are using dc motors now. That generator Greyland is testing is the 5 magnet pole? Or is the 10 magnet poles?

The rotor has twelve 1" x 1/2" thick neos on it. (Actually twelve on EACH side of the rotor) There are 12 coils. Each coil is made of 12 strands of #23, each strand 253 feet long. Four strands are connected in series (Three groups of four) so three parallel strands come off the coil. Right now the machine is only drawing 156 watts, but I DOUBT it will speed up under load, so probably not much output to speak of. He will be lucky to run two coils, and the RPM running on 11.5 volts won't be much.“Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.”
