@All -
Today will see tests with the doubler circuit and, variants with different components.
The best results managed with 1 'dancing' coil as energy pickup will allow furthering, or, dropping of those as the pickup coils.
It would be preferable, for any future replications at least, to use the 1 coil type throughout.
@Gyula - If this were an indie films forum, you'd be technical director..thanks so much again
I have 2 capacitance meters, or should say, DMM's with capacitor measuring function.
Craftsman 82139 - bought new from Sears, simply quit with an unknown issue (not internal fuse) shortly afterward. Sears has shut down !
UNI-T UT136B - a few months old, limited to 10nF to 100uF testing.
For a couple of years, there was a solar powered rotor spinning under my workbench light. Was a converted 'dancing flower' in essence. Same look to it as this new motor, but just the 1 coil, it used the circuit from the toy and a garden light solar panel.
That was where the remote rotors were mainly researched, for how many could be run and how good the lock to each other could be. The link to your comment, was that the rotor only had 2 magnets, with transistors for balancing on the other 2 points. Looked funky spinning around
Want a quick mind messer upper ? lol. Here is a demo of remote rotors turning in the same direction ! no need for clockwise/anti-clockwise/clockwise.

Back to now, I was delighted to see a 1hr run on the 0.1F with or without the remote rotor.
What that means (to me), is that the concept is more valid, for adding remote rotors until energy generated is more than that used. But would have to be aircore. Plus, of course, spinning up and matching 4 or 5 remote rotors would become a P.I.T.A. very quickly !
Yep. the 'top out' was an interest for what the present idea can achieve as a maximum figure (with meter drain) of a 1000uF cap. Just initial findings and exploring. The 'top out' is achieved and maintained well, dropping as rotor speed diminished. So one thought is what speed the rotor needs to spin at to achieve a set criteria. Still thinking 1V is optimum.
100mV is generated very quickly in comparison to the final 'top out' and that is where I think things are headed.
Am relatively new to BEAM engines, but have had great results with especially the Easter and now with a 2 transistor variant. That's my working idea for cap dumping.
The TI range of chips haven't been forgotten about and may well feature, for improvements if something looks promising.
The summary -
2 remote rotors, with 4 'dancing' coils around each in series
Voltage doubler circuits on both
Out to a BEAM harvester triggering at ~1.6V, or lower would be better
Into the run cap, which is likely to be 1000uF or similar, depending on needed throughput and charge. Supercap may be better.
If the voltage on the run cap climbs, an LED bleed off of the extra will form a crude regulator, but allow the motor to have a function, however slight that may be.
(better solutions, such as the TI chips will then move it forward)
