Three things;
(a) you need a uniform magnetic field covering the whole coil disk.
(b) The brushes need to be on the periphery the coils.
(c) The green wire is crossing the magnetic field to get to the
outside of the magnet. This is a no-no. It should go up through
the center of the coil.

If you fix these things and get some iron wire used in fastening
air conduits inside of buildings and insulate it, you might also try
a coil made from that.

Hi. '(a)' I was aware of, the pancake was pre-made but I was planning to encircle the big neo with little 15mm ones. '(b)' I knew about, or should I say I knew others did it this way - I just thought it didn't matter that much and my way was better! Obviously not!!!

Still don't understand why! '(c)' makes more sense though. Thanks for the info!

See, there is a reason that I still pay utility bills!

Hi Mark,

I hope that you are wrong on (b). That is not my set up for my initial test.

For your (c), I agree, but again in my case, I will not have it "radially" but wound in pancake style to reach my brushes. We will see.. As my initial setup has no hole through the large 10" magnets, and I am winding all ten (10) leads from the center out, pancake style to the outside.

But, the design is flexible if it doesn't produce as it should. I feel confident in producing some good amount of power...

Good evening all,

My first little group of six magnets arrived... and MY OH MY, these N52 are STRONG! Taking extra precautions when working with them. They are the perfect magnets for this build, IMHO.

Cheers,

Bruce

@Bruce

I hope you'll take comfort in knowing that no matter what happens...
I can give an explaination!

...Good Luck!

LOL That was funny, Mark!

Let's hope that the explanation will be of it "working"... LOL
Thanks for the best wishes!

Bruce,

If copper fails you might give silver a try... I've been doing some experiments using 99.999% pure silver wire and seeing results that exceed (slightly) what I see with copper. Plan on posting my results at a later date.

Happy Friday ALL,

Tomorrow I will begin to machine down my magnet holders. I found some perfect inner diameter couplings for the job, just need to trim the length and sand out the inner ridge. Once this is accomplished, I will place my first magnet on my metal plate, dead on in the center. Then I will place a second magnet, same poles facing the plate, in it's holder, onto the metal plate and see how close I can slide it, to the center one, seeing how they will be in repulsion. Next, I will measure this distance with a caliper, and record it. The next step is to cut my foam with the holes of the proper size and then drop this also, onto the metal plate.

Also, this weekend, if time allows, I will extend my "ends" of the tesla bifilar pancake coils and then glue and wrap them into their proper configuration. I have already picked up the wire for this.

Of course I will post pictures as the progress continues.

Cheers,

Bruce

Stefan, if you could please erase the spam in the above post.

Thank you,

Happy Saturday ALL,

I am making some good progress this morning! I have machined out all of the inner ledges of the couplers and then cut each to the proper length. After, each was sanded.

Next, I did my test with two magnets, both with same poles facing down. I pushed them together very close and marked the distance. Now I am working on cutting out the foam, and will post pictures of that later. The N52's are very strong, but I am getting the hang of working with them, and how to seperate them, without crushing a finger...

I could use some ideas for type of glue or epoxy to hold my pvc magnet holders to he metal disc. I am thinking either JB Weld, E6000, or Super Glue. Any better ideas, please don't hesitate to post. Thanks!

The work in progress below in pictures...

Cheers,

Bruce

Hello again ALL,

Well, I am on a roll, and have completed the insertion of my first six magnet holders into the foam. Now I need to purchase many more couplers and start again. But now I feel like I have a good system going and it is easy and fast. And having the distance between magnets is of course key!

Cheers,

Bruce

Hello ALL,

Doing a lot more work, while saving for my next round of magnets. I have cut all of the 1" holes for this rotor, and will next be machining the insides of my new couplers, and trimming them down to size as I did with the others. I still need more.

I also have room out towards the edge, for 12 more magnets, but not 1 inchers. Rather, 1/2" diameter, 1" deep. I will be finding the couplers for those next. This is not a "fast" build but it will be steady. Please remember, if my Tesla Bifilar Pancake Coils do not work well, I have MANY other options to try, to "sandwich" between my very large magnets.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hi Bruce, your a busy beaver over here it appears. Interesting setup you have got going here. Still putting together the pieces on that other project.

Oh yes! LOL This is my "expensive" build. A little more long term. Our project is inexpensive and giving me something to work on while I save for magnet money for this project. I have "high hopes" for both projects. I am very glad to have you building with me on the other. I love to build and experiment. Too many people just reading and never experimenting.

Cheers,

Bruce

Good evening ALL,

This evening, the remaining holes were cut into the foam, for the smaller magnets that will be on the outer edge. Each magnet is spaced the same exact distance from another. I want a very uniform field.

1/2" magnets, will be along the edge. 12 of them per rotor.

Tomorrow I begin to machine out the inside of the magnet holders.

Cheers,

Bruce

A Pleasant Saturday Evening to ALL,

I have completed the machining and sanding of the inner ridges on the magnet holders. I have also cut them to their proper height. I then glued each one into it's foam compartment. The first rotor is complete, it is just awaiting more magnets. It was a lot of work, but to protect $400.00 worth of magnets and myself, I think well worth it. The magnets will not move, yet, they will have not been glued in. Each one perfectly spaced with its neighbor.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hello everyone,

I have placed the finishing touches on Rotor number one with some paint. My last SSG3 device looked like such a contraption, that I am determined that this will look good, and hopefully exceed expectations when working.

Cheers,

Bruce
