Linear PM Generators

[Matthew Jones]

TED,
( as a thought that just occured to me....not to try and side track your ideas in any way...but since it seems that nature doesnt like the idea of us tryign to convert linear to rotation.....how about........rotation to linear?....im rambling now arent i lol )

Thats what I am trying to do. It seems it will work pretty well if I can get past a certain speed.
If Milkovic is correct I should get a very high COP from the thing. Thats if it won't shake itself apart.

Jack whatever you want. LOL I'm interested too.


@Dragon

What kind power did you get out of the linear generator in the picture and how fast did it go?

Thanks
Matt

It would do about 5 amps charging a 12 volt battery at around 100 rpm. It was set up to drive 4 of them but I only installed 2 for testing. Each one has about a 4 inch stroke. The coil/weight move extreemly fast because of the forces involved, the coils could have been wound with larger wire to help load it a little better as these don't create much of a resistance for the unit.

Hi Matt,

Here is some (minor) background info.

Thanks. I was trying to get an idea of how fast I am going to need to go. I can get about 500 out of it when it acts right.

Thanks again
Matt
