Hello everyone.

I've been extremely skeptical but hopeful in the search for a machine that is over 100% efficient.  I started when I was 12, and built a crappy machine that had two CDs on a shaft, trying to get the magnets to keep spinning in repel mode.  Of course it failed miserably and I've been learning about everything ever since.

So far, I've been able to see how most designs will not work, and that you are unable to 'close the loop', get past sticky spots, and lenz's law...  which is why I'm afraid we'll never attain free energy.  I am convinced so far about the flux 'cog-free' alternator that was proposed by the Lafonte Group.

Okay, enough talking.  I've been desperately trying to study electronics as this is my first non-mechanical build, and I'm a little scared.  I'm studying in college for business, but physics/OU is my passion, so forgive me for my ignorance.

I was going to start out with two ring magnets, diametrically magnetized.  The reason for the ring magnets is so they can be extremely close to the toroids but be really easy to 'slip' on the shaft.

These two magnets will be on the same shaft, but one will be rotated 180 degrees relative to the other one, so if it is S on top for one, it's N on top for the other.

The next part is two toroids that have the rotating magnets within their 'holes'.  I'm not sure about this part, I'm assuming I'd want to find a large toroid made from a material that will have low eddy currents, normal magnetic permeability, and high saturation density.  I don't know much, but I'm assuming tape-wound laminated silicon steel is what I'm looking for? 

=====

The last part is the rods that the coils are wound on.  I'm guessing the permeability of these based on my simulations would have to be equal to or higher than the toroids.  I also have no idea how I would actually attach coils to these, or how many winds/gauge/ohms I need.

I think Faraday's Law of Induction states: N (dÏ•B/dt).  Before I attached the coils, would I need to use a gaussmeter and determine dÏ•B by finding the difference in flux at different degrees of rotation?

I'm not sure.  Also, it's going to have 4 coils, and wound so it is 2-phase AC.  I don't know how to check how many watts it would actually be producing, so would hooking up a bank of 10W lights in parallel and looking at a voltmeter be useful as an approximation?  I've NEVER done this before.

I truly believe this can work, because there won't be any cogging on the rotor magnets.  I've done the simulation of this concept by Butch Lafonte's Group, and there was no cogging torque.  He's also stated similar things in his videos even when running it in 'reverse' (energizing the coils) to see if there would be any motor action.  None.  As the Group put it, Lenz's Law is still occurring, but within the toroid and not affecting the rotor.

Thank you so much for your insights, and I understand that I am ignorant in building coils and stuff.  Thank you.
