Adams Motor ...
« on: March 31, 2010, 10:00:30 PM »
Hello.

I'm planning a replication of the Adams Motor, as detailed in Patrick Kelly's handy e-book :

http://free-energy-info.co.uk/Chapter2.pdf

I have been using reed switches, which Adams himself never liked but i can't get hold of a Hall Effect sensor for the moment.

The reeds burn out after about 5 minutes and i'm not sure what to do as i'm only just beginning to study electronics, my question is, what can i use to stop the reed switch arcing ?


Thankyou.

where is it 'arcing' per se..?

The idea might be to use a voltage regulator, or you could place a neon ( tiny ) lamp across the terminals you think are arcing.

Thanks Jadaro, it's arcing at the points of contact. I will try the neon.

Sounds like you're running more voltage through the Reed switch then it's rated for.
Check and see what the rating is that's printed on the switch, if the switch is rated for 5 volts and you have it connected to a 12 volt battery, right there is your problem. Also, you can run the Reed switch with a lower voltage and extend it's lifespan. Connect it to a twelve volt relay to increase the voltage to the motor coil.

Yes don't i feel stupid i realised that this afternoon, it runs fine at 6V  ::)

Once it's up to speed you can drop it to 3V so no more blown reeds.

p.s. when everyone first starts getting into this stuff, as i am, do you find yourself wanting to steal all your friends' and families' electronic goods just to have some good bearings or a nice rotor ?
