You don't elaborate, but going by the filenames of the scopeshots you provided, I see an average INPUT POWER of 432 watts and an average OUTPUT POWER (presumably using the 100W bulb as load) of 6.15 watts.

Is that right?




Hopefully, everybody is beginning to understand much better now.
Yes that is correct.

Nicely done. For those not familiar with ratiometric Hall probes we might say that this will give a signal that goes from 0V to 5V, with 2.5 V being the "zero flux" baseline, and lower voltages indicate flux in one direction and higher voltages in the other direction. So just as you say the gap sensor is indicating a sinusoidally varying flux, just as intended.

However.... could you not also achieve this exact same effect with only two stator coils, on opposite ends of the rotor, with two H-bridges and PWM?  You probably couldn't get to 60Hz this way using relays but you certainly could with electronic switching.

And I'll bet it would be a lot more efficient than the full version, too.
Attached are two output scope shots using coils 1-16  so two poles rotating in 30 steps.This is the asymmetric waveform I mentioned.
Notice that at the higher clock rate the current reduces compared to the 6 pole scheme clocked at a much lower rate.
This will be a problem for the higher clock rates required to achieve 50/60Hz. The pulse period is not long enough to achieve maximum current with only 25V. Higher voltages would allow a faster rise time.
In the 6 pole version, each of the 5 series coil  groups is providing 35T x 5 coils x 20A =3500 A/Turns, so x 2 between poles =7000 A/Turns. That is a lot of potential flux, which is obviously not being developed due to overlapped coils of opposite polarity.

Irrespective of a missing element (secret), it is difficult to see how the original relay configuration could have developed such output power, with the flux wastage present in this configuration.

Yes, 1 coil produces a much higher output however, it is just flux linkage as per a transformer.

A lot depends on the correct work frequency! therefore, combining the coils will also have the same relationship.

Interesting question.
My understanding (or lack thereof) is that the aim is to move (rotate in this instance) the flux lines to "cut" the armature coils, i.e. move the strongest part of the flux through and across as much of the coil as possible.
A two coil configuration would appear to cut in only two spots. If my understanding is indeed correct, then it implies that resolution of the reproduction of the moving flux is crucial, i.e. the higher the resolution, the more movement can be simulated.

Makes me wonder if Nyquist frequency would apply here? i.e. 50Hz would ideally be achieved with 100 coils.

What did Pierre mean by the secret element? give your types

I can say that slot filling can be a ferrite powder to increase the inductance of the coil, and it can also be a ferrite magnet powder or it does not mean anything and it is a rubber in the spray.

There is something else else but I am waiting for your opinions.

No element means feature in this instance, not substance.
I don't know what critical feature is missing.

En.  ....except the link you posted is about a motor with a rotating magnet. Of course you can make the current like that, except my principle is the reverse. It's the field of the stator that rotate....

And the magnet is stationary???? Is there any case for a magnet inside the fixed rotor coil's core???

It may be helpful but not critical.

ok. Look first video at 6:30  Do you see something that you have not seen before? because it's not very visible?

Traditionally we rotate magnet on rotor for creating rotating magnetic field. In Pierre's sentence it was about giving this task to stator electromagnets for doing same job.
Almost like in induciton motor but with switching coils on paralel electromagnets.
And for example, if you can have multiple |electromagnet|electromagnet|electromagnet|electromagnet| (where "|" is core extension to output core) style coils with all of them linking to one output core with coil, the 3D position of N/S poles changes every time you activate 1 then 2 electromagnets at once.

There is a camera pause (or video edit) that happens between 6:37 and 6:38

Thanks T1000.
I don't believe either that this is the missing link. I just mentioned it as the guys above talk about a possible missing element. I am more with L192 opinion.

Sorry, from 6:30-7:10,  What have I noticed here?

No, why don't you just say what it is?

yes r2fpl it would be more productive. At exactly 06.30 Pierre's nose is getting in to the picture. Until 7.10, i didn't notice anything newer than before. 

By the way. Do you know what this small square thing is? Looks like it is connected across the output. Is it a small bridge for the meter?
