I will be making a new video next week with the machine up on caster wheels and the machine will be running while I am walking around it 360 degrees.  There will also be better lighting, longer running time and the machine will be in the middle of  the room to demonstrate that there are no hidden wires or compartments.  Additionally, the video will show an update on the pump. Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner but I have been swamped with emails.

Nice one James

Be cool if the tank sides were transparent as well.

Look forward to seeing more of this one.

Cheers

Sean.

Where is it, fervent believers?

I am still waiting for someone to link this to a tesla turbine instead of a paddle wheel.

:-)

I recommend Alan Cresswell's site at:

http://www.unifiedtheory.org.uk/

He has some ideas that are related to the self running pump that you may find interesting.

Also the work of Viktor Schauberger

Shame on you Vortex1. You have killed the thread.....................

Shame on you Vortex1. You have killed the thread

Killing the thread  was not my intention . Just wanted to voice my disdain for "patent grubbers" and the USPTO

I actually believe the self running pump could work under certain circumstances as I respect Alan Cresswell's work and have posted the link to his site.

Perhaps this will revive the thread:

                                 AN IMPROVED FLUID POWERED GENERATOR

This is an  improved integrated version of the design patented by J.C. HARDY. It is offered to the public domain. It features a fluid powered action-reaction generator design with counter-rotating magnets and coils.

"For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction"

 This design attempts to make use of both the action and reaction forces. The forces run in a circular motion and are imparted to an inner nozzle assembly (reaction force) and an outer co-axial Pelton wheel assembly
(action force) which move in counter-rotation.

The nozzle assembly is similar to those seen in their simplest form on rotary lawn sprinklers where nearly 100% of the thrust of the fluid leaving the nozzle causes the nozzle assembly to rotate. The ejecting fluid exerts a reaction force on the nozzle assembly similar to a mass ejection (rocket) engine.

Because the nozzle assembly is allowed to rotate, centrifugal force aids in ejecting the fluid. The pump can be made co-axial and allowed to rotate also, it's power also fed through slip rings, or the pump may be stationary with a suitable self sealing rotary slip joint feeding the nozzle assembly.

The ejected fluid now having done it's work on the nozzle assembly does additional work on the Pelton wheel assembly,

With this design, belts and attendant belt losses are eliminated.
 
The coils are mounted on the Pelton wheel, the magnets are mounted on the rotating nozzle assembly. Current from the coils is brought out through suitable slip-rings. This is one embodiment, although the coils and magnet locations may be reversed. Ferromagnetic materials can be integrated into the design in order to focus the magnetic fields.

Locating the magnets and coils of the generator on the rims of the rotating elements allows maximum velocity between coils and magnets, without belts, chains or gears.

For best results, entire assembly should be operated as a hermetically sealed structure, and a sufficient vacuum pulled on the housing to vastly reduce the friction of air. This would require that the unit be designed into cast hemispheric structures of aluminum or other structurally suitable metals.

The fluid is completely recycled in such a closed structure. Power in and out is through seals typical of hermetic pumps.

It may be possible to eliminate the pump and use the generator portion to run initially as a brushless permanent magnet motor (with suitable electronic commutation) in an effort to allow the inherent centrifugal action of the nozzle assembly to reach critical or breakover velocity.   At this point the motor is switched to operate as a generator.
Priming vanes may added to the suction tube to aid startup.

All for now....V

For the record, I never emailed James Hardy, I only posted  relevant info in this thread. James must be referring to posts in this thread.

I wish James Hardy the best of luck with his invention. Anyone who takes the time to read Alan Cresswell will get an insight into why it might be possible. I was extremely skeptical until I remembered and re-read Alan's work.

I hope if James is able to, he will teach his art here, since it is not really explained in the patent, which is mainly construction and use information. It would be for his and everyones benefit.

James, we certainly await your video anxiously and I'm sure there are forum members in your area willing to help and witness the event if you just put out the request. Many may be willing and able to help in other ways too.

Kind regards to all.....V

No, my dear friend, there is no relationship with my own belief - just hoped to see what promised (was "next week").
Why such kind of enmity to even smallest critique ?
Why not to argue? Why attack every contrary asserting?
When this SetUp really works as declared then not this playwood box is OverUnity - the Pump and/or Generator must to be. Or this ultra-smart waterwheel.
Anybody believe that?
Or perhaps you see some "black-box" voltage regulator? I do not.
I do not see effects what must be accompanied when generator starts to drive this pump, when any(!) external power out of question -
- when changed frequency and when current raises up .... what in turn causes (must to cause) changes - like fast avalanche.
yours truly,
khabe
