Congrat's Bizzy! I'm looking forward to the video. I've got a suggestion for sound reduction. You may be amazed at how much noise reduction you can get from a simple plywood enclosure or cover that has bare faced insulation stapled to the inside of it. A regular roll of R-11 can usually be had for less than $10 and just put the insulation side facing your motor. A simple open top box that you could set down over everything when running will make a huge difference.

(just checked Home Depot for thicker R19: Owens Corning EcoTouch R-19 Unfaced 6-1/4 in. x 15 in. x 39.2 ft. Continuous Roll Insulation
Model # RU40 Store SKU # 543558 )

$9.98 /RL-Roll

Hi ewizard,
I was thinking about a wooden enclosure too but was hesitating to start it becuase I was uncertain it would work. This is the encouragement I needed to go ahead with it. In fact I am working on a solar food dehydrator for my wife as well and lots of left over plywood shheting I can use.
I looked over the video again this morning and think it shows the machine working very well. i am very excited to show everyone
Thanks
Bizzy

Hi Ewizard
Since it has been too hot to work out side up here( I can't wait for winter again) I have been working on insulating the machine for sound. There are two areas which make the most noice the switch itself and the shaft assembly going back to the motor.. I tried breifly to insulatet just those two areas with only little success. Personally I thought it did a good job at dampening the noise, however my wife had a different opinion.... So now I will have to try and cover the whole unit for sound. it can be done but will require lots more material.
so far the longest i have run the unit continuously was 52 hours before i had to shut it off.

motor temperature

One other thing I forgot to mention but thought was important. After running for 52 hours continually the motor temperature only rose five degress above room temperature. Before if i would have run the motor for only an hour it would have been too hot to even touch.

I'd look for scrap plywood at construction sites - usually easy to find some when house or biz is being built. Or the pressed fiber board. It can be done on the cheap.

Hi Ewizard
It is not so much the money. I have enough spare plywood around the house and can afford more if I need it. The problem is time.
I would rather be doing additional testing on the machine. I am being transfered next year so I am trying to do as much work on the machine before I tear in down and move it then rebuild it.

Hi Bizzy , looking forward to your videoYou could get a piece of the blue styrofoam board easy to cut ,just put it together by pushing nails through it. From the look of your set-up in the video 2 sheets would probably do to build a box and set down over top of the whole thing.That would cut down the noise better than just plywood.
Or just get the wife some ear plugs
Would really like to see some detail on the mechanical aspect of how you use your rotor to control switching
Thanks shylo.

I decided to use voltage as my standard measure to show the work that was being done.

The voltage does not show the work being done.

It shows the pressure at which the current would flow out and do work if
you connect a circuit on to it.

By measuring the current in that circuit you would get the rate at which work
is being done, i.e. the power.


Also, on the subject of noise, it is very imprtant to avoid any holes.
An architect told me that an oak door is a good noise break. Put a
keyhole in it and it is often ruined.

But there is nothing to beat masonry. If you are really annoyed, build
it a little brick enclosure, not forgetting the base and ceiling and making
sure that you have no holes or air gaps.

I understand but we don't want to see the whole project get shut down prematurely by Why Isn'tit Free Energy - W.I.F.E for short

Maybe just find a big Washer, Dryer, Oven or referigerator box behind at an appliance store and tack some insulation in it?

Good afternoon
Here is the link to my you tube video as promised
Let me know what you think
thanks

Video

I think it's fantastic
Hi Bizzy, you said in the clip that the battery was not" fast enough to keep up", so you put a cap parallel to it?
I never thought of this, I've been trying to catch the spikes from shorting coils, but I am only getting some of the spike stored , the rest is going to waste.
I hope it works for you

Hi ewizard

yes i get why isn't free energy yet all the time
I thought about the washer box before but the whole work area is on a 4by8 sheet on ply plywood and am uncertain I can find one that big. What I am doing now is put another 4X8 sheet of ply wood on wheels so it sits vertically with insulation on the side. This way I can wheel it aside when I need to get into the machine to check it out.
IF we move for this transfer I told my wife besides a place to make wine one thing our new house MUST have is a shed away from the house so I can work on my experiments wifey was very happy so was i

Hi Shylo

Yes the cap battery combination in parrallel works great it combines the speed of the capacitor and the charge of the battery Thatcould be the answer you are looking for in your experiment. Just be sure the capacitor is big enough to handle the electricty you are using

Hi Paul
I understand perfectly about the amperage. as i said i only used the voltage for the demonstration. I have tested the amperage and it is 5-6 at the alternator and at the motor. the problem I had with demonstrating the amperage production is that when the switch is turned on the power coming out of the alternator is not under load (I have tested the amperage under load from the alternator with varying speeds which is how I know the output amperage.
Naturally at the motor side of the machine there is load so i could have shown amperage. But in this case I wanted to compare apples with apples or in this case volts with volts. The problem is the switch isolates the alternator from the motor so while it is running there is no direct load on the alterntor to show the amperage before the switch at the alternator only on the motor side of the machine.
I finally got another multi meter and if I have time I can video the machine with a multimeter measuring amps but it would only be at the point of the motor
As far as concrete I agree that would be best unfortunately my experiments are done in my basement and my wife would have a fit if I built a cement block wall in the basement. She already thinks I use too much cement and stone in things I build(part of my swiss heritage )

sound

Good morning
I think that I have finally made a barrier that will arrest the sound enough for my wife to accept for long periods of time.

So tonight I am going to turn it on and just let it run

Good news Bad news

Hello everyone,
I wanted to give everyone an up date.
the good news was that my machine has ran non stop for 9 days with no sign of slowing or lose of power. This has been a very exciting run
The bad news is that I need to shut it down again because we are packing up our house so that we can move becasue my job is being transfered.
Once we get settled into our new house I will begin to rebuild the machine and continue some other tests I have in mind.
Take care
Bizzy
