Hi John, Another excellent question! I have not worked on Kundel motor concepts for quite a few years now, it was only ION's question that caused me to mention it as it is not the focus of my research, however it is a viable option... I am not a big fan of magnet motors in general as they have little Torque to speak of, and I am all about the Torque (haha pun intended!), however that does not mean I ignore them. In order to answer your question I will have to see what videos are available now as opposed to the early videos (memory permitting) and get back to you. The Kundel motor when it first became known was interesting, but as it runs on a linear voice coil (electricity) and outputs to a rotary generator (electricity) or other attachment (fan load) there was not much interest as it was obviously COP<1. It caught my eye because I need a simple linear to rotary converter and it fit the bill, however, when I studied it high temperature magnets capable of enduring steam temps were not available so it got put on the back burner. Magnets in excess of 500C operating temperatures are available now and so it becomes a simple viable option for a steam powered linear reciprocator to rotary generator converter. However magnets act as a slip clutch when Load exceeds Torque, something to think about, smart load controller may be needed for variable loads. I will look into your question and get back to you, but remember electronics is not my field, maybe Poynt99 could answer your question in a more timely manner? he is much more knowledgeable in this area than I am. Thanks, Rob Just watched the video your talking about John, The motor shown there is the V2.0 which is not the motor that I saw years ago but the behaviour if I remember correctly is the same. The V1.0 is the same, the original. Seems to me there is a V1.5 video missing but the results are the same. The only disturbing thing for me is the comments on the V2.0 video, 3 years ago really ? Jeez... I am getting old! Your comments are accurate regarding the bench supply current limiting, looks like a standard 3 Amp bench supply to me, as Watts = Volts x Amps a regulated limited A supply would show as a change in V. In regards to the Pulsometer, it is important to understand that you will not achieve a fast reciprocal motion like a voice coil, but you will achieve a large Power in a single pulse. So the Pulsometer is not a motor, it is a pump, a very powerful pump. A generator similar to a wind power generator with many phases at a slow RPM is what will be needed, not a 3 phase at high RPM like a standard PMA. DC battery bank will not require RPM frequency control and then run through an inverter for AC is my advice. Hope that helps, Rob
