Video #27, “Rick’s Pipe Dream” Magnetic Motor-Generator

Sunday, July 11, 2010

This video shows how the mechanical systems for the new stator movement strategy have been designed, manufactured, and assembled. I had hoped to have enough time near the end of the video to show a demonstration of the new systems in operation, but ran out of time before I could do so. Therefore, the video [...]

Several people have asked me how I make up the steel plates which are mounted to the birch plywood flywheel of the prototype, so I thought I would make this video to show how it is done. Nothing fancy, and no special tools required. The idea is to keep things simple so that anyone can [...]

This video completes the three video series showing how XNOTE STOPWATCH software, coupled with external control devices and switching, will be used for precision testing of various rotor magnet layouts. The next video in the Pipe Dream series will describe a new and improved rotor magnet layout, and will show a live elapsed time test [...]

In this video I show some new modifications and enhancements that I have made to the Pipe Dream prototype since making video #29. While I am considering the best way to proceed with the proposed method of moving the slider carriage and pivoting stator by magnetic repulsive interactions, I decided to proceed with some non-related [...]

This video provides an in-depth look at, and explanation of, the Test results generated in the XNOTE STOPWATCH results window during the elapsed time test as shown in video #36. I will also be doing at least 4 additional tests (off camera) of this rotor magnet layout in order to arrive at averages for the [...]

This video will show a live elapsed time test of the newest rotor magnet layout, in comparison to the results of the previous magnet layout. The XNOTE STOPWATCH software will be triggered on and off automatically, at the beginning and end of the test duration, by a mini lever switch mounted in a stationary position [...]

This video is a continuation of track tests shown in videos #22 through 24, and shows additional tracking modifications and testing. The second track layout is modified at the tail end to give less linear movement to the stator carriage, and the gap between the stator magnet and rotor magnets is lowered to 1 inch [...]
