Thanks LS...I was overjoyed to see such progress and that you have taken an interest in exploring the effects.
It bolsters the research, from someone else highly respected and that's never a bad thing, as Brad has been delivered far too much negativity in some places.
Sorry if I seemed 'off' anywhere, that video produced a broad smile
TinMan - A new understanding, for myself is that a magnetic field need not be shut off when it's done its work, but be introduced instead. A coil not charging for most of its cycle, then being blipped with a very high discharge.
So, only 1% of the cycle is used for charging the coil, not 99%...if a natural field was in place, then suddenly swapped, the inrush would produce more into the coil than the slower natural motor forces. It becomes about nullifying for most of the time, not collecting for most of the time. Switching things 180 to at least what I thought had to happen.
In Luc's video, the AC coil is energized with 3V, an effect dependant on that value being 3V, higher and lower don't work. Where upon, the keeper drops from the electromagnet. 3V is easy to generate in a 12V system and he only used a small amount of current. The magnet is always attracted until that 3V blip from his capacitor.
So, the permanent magnet can impart a condition where it is opposite in magnetism to the natural motor effects, until a point where for 1% of the time, it is negated.
If we replace his assembly with the laminations of a motor, the magnet is always attracted to the laminations, so its other side magnetism can work on the motor. Remove the attraction to the laminations with 3V and its forces are negated for a split second. With only needing 3V and low current to make that happen, we're already ahead by 9V with a 12V system and are drawing no more current than a coil on the opposite side would collect in the cycle.
As a newbie to these motors, it seems the Lorentz Force can be negated by using sharp reversals of an otherwise natural condition. The AC coils are air core, after all.
