Ted Ewert's Pulsed Flywheel Generator

[SkyWatcher]

Hi folks, I am very interested how this project worked out for Ted, any information you care to share Ted would be greatly appreciated or anyone that has experimented with this type of setup which is similar to Bedini's 1984 generator and the device Jim Watson built and seems to apply to many other rotational devices with lots of rotational mass. Thanks, here's some quotes and a pic of Ted's setup.

Ted has come up with a very clever, cheap and simple method of getting a pulsed flywheel. He has taken a standard DC electric motor and modified it very simply. He opened the motor up and found that it has 28 coils and two brushes. He then cut the connections to two adjacent coils. As there are two brushes, that produces two pulses per rotation. He then selected the two coils directly opposite his cut connections and cut two more side by side there. This gives four pulses per revolution. The arrangement is now, coils 1 to 12 connected. Coils 13 and 14 disconnected. Coils 15 to 26 connected and coils 27 and 28 disconnected. This gives twelve coils connected, followed by two coils disconnected, followed by twelve coils connected, followed by two coils disconnected: Ted’s motor, driving a 100 pound (45 Kg) flywheel is shown here

Hi Tyson,
That pulsed flywheel setup was used primarily to demonstrate the motor modification I used. I was exploring the effects claimed by Chas Campbell and Lawrence Tseung.
It was an interesting experiment but I didn't get as far along as I would have liked. I bought a cheap alternator to test the power output, which didn't work well at all. Then I started to research efficient generators, which took me down a whole new path. Suffice it to say that I never did make it back to finish that experiment.
I think a pulsed flywheel, while in resonance, can exhibit some very interesting properties. Perhaps this was one of the aspects of the Watson machine that contributed to it's alleged success.
I also built a Watson machine replica. It was the one in Bearden's book "Free Energy generation" which claims you'll have more energy than you know what to do with. What a bunch of hogwash that book is. Like the rest of his books, it's filled with convoluted doublespeak and doesn't reveal anything remotely useful to the serious energy researcher.
As usual, Bedini doesn't offer any theory as to how the Watson machine should work either, which is key to it's successful design and operation. Just putting the pieces together isn't enough, as many unsuccessful replications will attest to.
With what I know now, I would have a much better chance of getting the machine to work. There are more than a couple of subtle aspects that need to be paid close attention to: Motor type and voltage, generator impedance, flywheel resonance, timing, duty cycle and battery impedance are just a few of the variables. It would take a while to get all that stuff dialed in.
Anyway, Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Interesting stuff though.

Hi Ted
I was wondering if you ever went back and tried to continue to work with your idea?
Thanks

This is effectively the Bedini/Watson device, isn't it?

If so, an alternator is no good. You need Bedini type energiser coils,
and you need to ensure that the pulse to the motor is out of sync
with the pulse to the energiser coils. Check with Patrick's ebook.
