Update

Dave,

I have to tell you...

Things have gotten real weird around here lately. I probably shouldn't say much, but Scott has not been the same since.


Brent

@Brent/Scott,

Any progress on your build? Or did you stop trying since JB stopped frequenting the forum?

Dave

[Ron Chase]

Slowly but Surely

Hey All,

I finally had a chance to work on my GT3 build. Next step is build the slave coil supports and fire up the electronics.

Why the secrecy Brent? Is Scott injured? Or has an egg been cracked and you guys have seen something that has your head swimming? HAve appreciated your build since you gus started. good luck. post some progress vids for the love of god man. LOL

[BrentA929]

@All,

You'll have to forgive me...

What I should have said was things have gotten really busy around here and that I don't have much to tell. Scott has had to shift his focus on some other projects and it it hasn't been the same without his interaction. We hope to get back to it in the near future!

Sorry for the confusion, Brent


P.S. Scott is fine and there unfortunately aren't any secrets!

@Dave - There hasn't been much progress recently and it's no secret that a lot of it is probably due to the involvement of JB.

BFW Build Progress

Hi All,

after the DVD came out, this thread went cold, so I am wandering how everyone's BFW Build is coming along......

And if you are talking about it on some other thread, or just in private email because of the DVD......

Brrrr! Its cold in here. Maybe everyone's waiting to see what is revealed at the next conference. Myself, I'm still plugging away at getting my 5 foot GT3 finished. I have enough wire to add 2 additional slave coils after I finish testing with the basic master coil and 2 slave coils setup. I also plan on using the FET switch circuit to dump the cap.

Barium Ferrite magnets

@All,

I was going to wait until I had all the details together before I said anything, but I think this is pretty exciting for those of us trying to duplicate the BFW.

I think I may have found a source for the barium ferrite magnets out of China. I have sent them a rough sketch of the dimensions. Speaking of dimensions...does anybody have the exact measurements? Or can anybody get them?

I'll keep everyone posted on my progress!


Thanks, Brent

[Ron Chase]

Brent,

That's great news. I've also been checking the China connection. Any idea what a minimum order would be. Maybe we can get several BFW builders together and share costs.

Also, what is the outside diameter of your timing wheel? I have my 1" diameter magnets now so time to build the timming wheel.

Thanks, Ron

It's quite warm down here!!!

Hello All,
I have not had alot of spare time to do to much, but I have tried to go up to
36 volts and add some more neo's to the back of the ceramic's. Both have made
improvements in the input output ratio. After a 15 min run time I only saw .01
volt drop (in the run batteries) at 225 ma. Also the charge batteries rose quickly
and held the charge so it was not a surface charge. I will try to post a video and
some test numbers this weekend. I still am working on the feed back pulse
to the run bank as well, and may need some help cleaning that up.
Brent,
If you do find a source for them and are offering for others to order along
with you keep me on your list..
Although I am not so clear that you will need them. If in fact that was used
to idle the wheel until a large charge was necassary and then large coils would
kick in. (as a charging system) I will need to explain my thoughts a little later,
but think about it.

Ron,

Don't have any numbers back yet, but would be more than happy to work something out for those that are interested!

As far as our timing wheel diameter...it is 1:1 spacing (1" magnets with 1" in between) and the diameter is roughly 10" (center to center). I don't know how exact that is, Scott laid it out in CAD and then we printed it out on a sheet of paper. We glued the sheet of paper into a foam board them glued the magnets on to the printout/foam board. Hope that helps and hopefully you can machine something with a little more accuracy.

@Mark,

You may be right! However, it is my understanding that we need a magnet with a memory (if we are going to attempt the regauging/generator section). Trying to build to spec, but would love to hear your thoughts.

count me in

we are waiting on 18awg, but we have been able to flip the polarity of some smaller ceramic magnets. that would be awesome to have the barium. Someone mentioned that a ceramic w/ a neo on the back might work also, we have not been able to get that to work...

Magnets

Hello everyone I saw that some were looking for magnets. I am in china right now with my family. I talked with a man today that is going to take me to look for magnets next monday. My chinese is very bad and his english is worse. But I'll let you know if I can find a local supplier. Or mabey I could find the supplier you were contacting Brent. I'm getting ready to travel across china Again and I'll keep a lookout for the good stuff. I'll be here in Dandong China for at least another year and have found many things quite inexpencive cost more to ship. If I find them I'll let you guys know.
I just have to figure out how to say barum magnets in chinese!

Keep up the great work

I just checked w/ a friend of mine who speaks Mandarin. he said google translator got it right:
Bèi cítiě
you might need to show them the charectors to be sure, I've attached the traditional.
