  • Steele Braden Generator

    Gentlemen,
    I think long and hard before bringing a new thread to this forum. I communicate by email with folks from all over the world concerning the devices they have built, but few will allow me to share publicly what they have discovered, and I respect their privacy. I have run across a generator device which I myself have replicated and it appears, at least in prototype form, to do every single thing the originator claims it will do. I have no idea whether a scaled up model will be more or less successful, but I am in the process of building one at the present time, and would suggest that several of you might want to do the same. If you can get your hands on some plastic disks, half the battle is already won. I am using 12 inch rotors on mine, but I have a bunch of them I have made and am purchasing more.

    I am in communication with Steele Braden, who IS an Electrical Engineer, which should cause a few of you to raise your eyebrows immediately. This project has been a long and tedious road for him, and he has seen fit to turn it over to the public. He may join us here, or he may not, but is willing, at least for now, to answer questions through me. I have promised to keep his email address a secret and I can't say for sure that Steele Braden is even his real name.

    It may take me a few posts to disclose everything he has shared with me so far, but the following text is taken from his emails to me and compiled into a sort of narrative. Any spelling, typing, or editing mistakes are mine as I attempted to take the substance of several emails that had repetitive and original information in them and combine it all into one document. So I hope it is understandable and that you get what he is driving at. ALL INFO IN RED IS DIRECTLY FROM STEELE. All other stuff is my ramblings and not to be confused with his specific directions and information. Also, it will make it easier for new folks to pick out the important stuff as we go along.

    Images and schematics

    Here is all the information I currently have. If you have intelligent questions, I will do my best to answer. I have packed up my prototype and shipped it off to my son the engineer to have him take a look at it, so I do not have a working model of this device at the present time. If you are interested in building it I can give you some hints that will help you out. Lowes has aluminum foil tape with a backing that peels off revealing an incredibly sticky surface underneath. It is worth your time to purchase a roll of this if you are serious about this project. I did find a very small electric motor with a shaft coming out of each end that I used for this. Unfortunately it is in the mail to my son and I do not have the make and model number at hand. I can probably get it, but any electric motor will work. You must make sure that the rotor on one side is electrically isolated from the rotor on the other side by plastic or rubber of some kind as Steele explained in his directions. I used plastic connectors I drilled out of some solid plastic that would fit the motor shaft and the drive shaft on the other end, so both shafts coming out of my motor had these plastic "adaptors" connecting them to the drive shafts the rotors were on.

    These SHOULD be links to specs and pictures in photo bucket. It is the first time I have used it, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I will do my best to fix it.












    Good luck all. I will shoot some pictures and video of my larger replication as it progresses.

      Hello Turion
      very interested in this device.
      About the use CDs for the rotor,I wonder if the different dielectric constant of methacrylate vs. polycarbonate would be an isue here. (as well as acrylic which is the aluminium face protective coat)
      Dielectric Constant of some common Liquids

      thanks for your sharing

        You are absolutely correct. I had not considered the dialectic properties of the two different materials. The CD could be far worse, equal, or better, and I have no idea which. Thickness of the dialectic could also be a problem. In addition, it probably has a metallic coating which defeats the purpose of the "petals" on the rotor. Unless of course you were to spray coat the rotor with something to cover up the metallic coating. But probably more trouble than it is worth. I shouldn't have suggested it.

            interdesign21,

            If you look at the info posted above, I think he details the thicknesses of the plastic. If you look at the pictures you can get a pretty good idea of the size of the stators size of rotors. Remember, the ENTIRE SURFACE of the stator is covered with aluminum foil except for the cutout of the rotor shape. He also talks about clearances, because high voltage static will go around corners to make a connection.

            Here is some additional information from Steele that I got today, and from now on I am going to put info from him in red so it will be easy to pick out from all the babble on these threads.

              Stepdown

              One could use a car ignition coil in reverse.

              This has been shown in youtubes reducing HV from wimshursts to useable low voltages.

              Maybe a way out.

              Cheers, Garry

                Thanks Gary. I will have to give that a shot.

                  Electrostatic stepdown transformer

                  Hi

                  The video here:

                  How-to make a electrostatic step-down transformer, converts electrostatic to low voltage DC. - YouTube

                  shows a novel way of stepping down voltage from electrostatic source.

                  Regards

                  John

                    Video

                    Hi John, my screen just shows a blank, for your video, was it attached?
                    Dave , this sounds too easy.
                    Are the rotor and stator just layers of offset pieces of foil (by 30 degrees).
                    Which cause some kind of reaction , or maybe a vibration...?
                    The way I understand it is , it requires a magnetic field of some sort , to influence a reaction.
                    Does spinning certain types of metal , create magnetic fields?
                    I just thought of something , the Earths' magnetic field , or the universes, is always present.
                    Since it's typed ,I'll post it.

                      Hi Dave and all,

                      Could this be close? I think I could modify this rotary capacitor setup that I built a year or two ago to provide an output from a don smith device.

                      [IMG][/IMG]

                      For a transformer, I planned on using a pole pig step down transformer (~13 kv to 240 volts ac). However, I found no step down induction taking place through my NST so I thought that the rotary cap was not large enough (10 inches dia.).

                      What transformer have you or Braden used successfully?

                              Atmospheric Motor.

                              I watched the video 3D Printed AtmoMotor Updates and Experiments - Upcoming 3D printer giveaway! - YouTube today and it does have torque when he uses the Vandegraff generator to power it. Most of the components were 3D printed from CAD drawings that he offers for download in the comments:

                              Published on Jan 29, 2014

                              3D Printed AtmoMotor Updates and Experiments - Upcoming 3D printer giveaway! . A high torque atmospheric motor. First tests underway. Also features the build process. Link to parts and 3D files at:

                              AtmoMotor torque testing - 3D printer giveaway coming up - free atmospheric electricity - charged water runs motor - ladybug levitation - antenna testing - V.

                              In this video I tried to load the system up with a motor. While it does dim everything down, all the receivers from previous videos are running, The motor is.

                              The giveaway ends 2/20/2014. On that date one person will be selected to receive the 3D printer. Shipping must be paid by the winner. The winner will be cont.

                              Take care,
