    Could you tell me what size of coils you plan to wind? What is the size of this plastic spool (I'm sorry if it has different name, my English is limited)?

    Thank you

    Lukasz,
    Any one can join this club. I'll teach you the art of sippin coffee.Lol.

    My spools are 3 1/4" long and 3" in diameter with a 3/4" core. I plan to wind 12 parallel series connected 23 awg magnetic wire. The length is not yet determined. I'll check with Turion on the length.

    English is my first language but still can't use it correctly.

    Back to my bad drinking habbit-coffee.

    if at first I didn't have the money to buy the MY1020 for rewind which
    does the pulsing, I could use a PMM and pulse it with a circuit.

    So maybe I can get an off the shelf PM motor controller? I don't know
    tho pulse width and frequency my be a feature needed that stock
    circuits don't offer.

    But I got to start somewhere. I am working toward a larger unit and my
    sons home school design. I got two 10 mm steel shafts today that are
    12" long each. The hubs are not far behind. 30 day wait after ordering.

    Or I could pay 5X that much so i can get it in 2 weeks. Nope.

    Trump is going to level out the playing field so we can compete.
    I will need to get a bigger prime mover to turn the machine and test it. Dave mentioned the my1016 wasn't big enough and could overheat. The final goal is to do away with the motor completely as he said on the video. Since the Lockridge days, I've wanted to build a motor/generator unit.

    The treadmill pmm I used as a Ufopolitics modified motor was my first rewound motor that worked as Ufo said it would. It was the one I used in that 3BGS video's that proved to me FE is for real.

    But now it's in the scrap pile.

    I hate ordering anything from China ever. I just got the coil winding machine and it's junk. When I get to winding the coils the counter will not be of any help cause there wasn't any instructions. I'll need to build a device to count feet as the wire is wound onto the coil.

    Another rainy day

    Hey forgot to mention good coffee too.

    Yesterday was able to get a little more work done on the upright generator. working with wood is real pain, but trying to get a decent alignment is possible just takes more time. I would recommend using the hard plastic Dave Turion uses in his video. That will be my next build hopefully.

    Of the (4) vertical 14" x 14" pieces only the outside two move out to insert coils as they are needed to be rewound for testing and such. PVC pipe will be cut and placed in between each vertical board on the dowels as spacers to hold each one the correct distance apart. All parts are non-metallic to avoid interference with the rotor magnets. Even brass or aluminum screws can get eddy currents in them. (From what I read)

    Well I did spin it up with the modified Matt motor there and it had no vibrations to worry about. Cause the threaded rod I wasn't sure would balance good or not. When the rpm increases it may do an Irish jig across the bench? No, I'm not Irish. Therefore I'm hoping to get the coils correct winding and core material to avoid heating and keep the rpm low. This my coffee drinking friends will be the greatest challenge of ALL. But one hill at a time.

    Hope these pics help. All teaching and positive comments are welcome,

    Darn it, coffee is cold again, where is that nuking machine....

    Hot coffee and good morning!!

    Hello to All,
    Hot coffee and a rainy Saturday morning feels perfect together.

    I did manage to do a little planning and building on the generator yesterday. With the parts and pieces coming together now the mechanical side is easier to see. The bearings and holders are very important. The end pieces will hold the bearings which hold up the axle and rotor. Therefore both must be aligned and sturdy built.

    My apologies for inadequate explanations with video's or more pictures.

    Coffee is needing a nuke warming,
    wantomake

    It's good to be back !!!!!!

    Get better

    Thanks,
    Liber63 you are so right about life, it is up and down.

    You take care with that hand. When work in the shop is limited due to life, weather, body injury, etc, I usually just study and take notes.

    But we will all go forward no matter the mountains we must climb,

    My condolences James.
    We 'd better be prepared for everything to happen. Life is so unstable.
    Two days ago I cut two tendons of my left thumb when cutting woods for my wood stove. Doctors said that i will regain 90% of the functionality. So, sorry guys, I cannot contribute anything here for next 70 days or so.

    My prayers for your comfort and peace. It is so wonderful for those of us that know the Lord to know where I loved ones have gone. And an even greater joy to know we will join them someday. Both of my parents have gone on to be with the Lord as well as many other family members and friends.

    Take care,
    Carroll

    Latest progress

    Here is the progress made today with what little time I had. But the milling down of the threaded shaft took some time for the bearings and the coupling. Takes time to not over do it and nothing fits.

    There will be end plates holding the bearings and the coupling will be connected to a modified Matt motor as show. All is just put together to show me how it will all fit together; spacing to install or remove coils, motor block spacing and such.

    Hope to get more done as days of dry and warmth help out. I'm sure there's more to this build as yet to present itself. But will keep posting as much as gets done.
