Unless you are a genius with a lot of intuition and a good handle on electricity, you're much better off following and expert and his current experiments.  Dr Adams left some very important aspects out of his patents and also his how to books.  He didn't really want anyone replicating his work.  Even those he mentored never saw his wiring schematics.  He only let you see the motor and there were missing elements on those too. 

Anyway, there have been a lot of attempts at replicating his work and few have been very successful for the above reason, missing important details.  ASTROSA  Club in Australia has made some mighty good attempts at replicating his motor and other magnetic motors.  There is some good information there if you become a member.  So, that gives you a place to start if you want to attempt this Adams Motor project.  You need to know where you are going before you waste a lot of money on expensive magnets and maybe also an expensive rotor.  Regardless, you will learn a lot if you delve into this project.  Some folks in Australia figured out what Dr Adams was doing and they are going to be selling their variation of Adam's home generator soon for about $5,000.  I don't remember their name, but you can google it easy enough.

been years since I chatted with Dave
will see how he's been doing

last I heard he was playing with sterling engines [some nasa Thing ??]
I'll let you Know

2nd coil is connected in parallel to the center tap of the first.
What is not shown is a reed switch, that cuts it on ~1/3 of the way
into the signal. This reduces an adverse inductive effect before the
coil fires.


Also, it was never clear which half of the first coil was connected.
I’m not certain that matters. Should be the same, except for an
imperceptible time delay.


What’s important is the 2nd coil operates with half of the voltage
sent through the first, and the reed switch times the pulse in a
‘Bendini’ type method, using the collapsing field as the driving
force.


The first coil acts as a generator 1/2 cycle.
Timing is extremely important

Thanks Smokey. this is the first I am hearing so will take me a bit to get my head around this info.


Do we have some idea of the coil ohmages?

Smoky, lets see if my interpretation of what you said is correct?


So on the attract in the first coils induction 1/2 cycle is collected


At TDC the coils are pulsed, so they should be in a ratio of two to one?


thanks, Ron

Ron


My understanding is the # of windings are 1:1
But the second coil is wired between the center tap
and one of the ends of the other coil (1/2 parallel?)


And when I say cycle, I meant rotation, not the electrical freq.

OK thanks


But in this case half rotation in, is equal to the induced wave form, is it not?


Just trying to get my ducks in a row here, thanks for the prompt replies


Ron

It’s basically Bendini


Square-wave makes the most sense for his set-up
But there is limited information that has survived.
So we don’t really know the freq, waveform, and whatnot.
