Author Topic: TinMans reserch and experiments into free energy devices.  (Read 196413 times)
Group: Guest
On a dead short on the output it increases to 400ma out whilst input is down around 550ma . On the Tinnie Brad is switching the output with the secondary commutator but that does not look like it happening for the Alexander patent.

In the Alexanderson patent, the output is modulated AC, slip rings are depicted in the patent, not a second commutator.  That is something that should be taken into consideration.  All who are working on this and comparing back and forth should keep that fundamental difference in mind.  Second, the "secondary" windings are not located in the same slots as the motor windings, or as an alternative, they are not quadrature phase related to the motor windings, the latter is what I recommend versus the common slot configuration discussed in the patent.  Another thing to note is that in the Alexanderson patent we see that his input is very high, the few replicators of either the patent or Tinman are NOT experimenting with high input power as the patent states.  I have conducted experiments along these lines using machines of my own conception and construction and do see what could be considered as a blending of the generator and transformer action, however, to get the effect, its necessary that my input requirement be high, just food for thought.

Thanks Erfinder, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure my thinking was correct. Certainly a lot easier to implement anyway.

Not a free energy device,but great to see the old timer going again.
The intention is to get it to run on the waste oil from work that we collect when servicing vehicles.
So the fuel cost will be zero to run this-->in fact,as we have to pay to have the waste oil taken away,we will actually be saving money running this motor O0. So maybe it is a free energy device,as we wont be paying for the fuel lol.

And a sneak peak at some up and coming projects.

Dear Brad.

That's quite a collection you have!!

Nice Detroit Jumbo! That magneto is a Webster Tri polar Oscillator, Low Tension magneto. Very popular type fitted to hundreds of different American engines. I found them all to have weak magnets, that's usually all that's wrong. However the odd one or two had to have the Zinc Alloy end covers replaced as they had self destructed!

Shame about the exhaust damage, but I'm sure you will be able to make a sound repair.

Cheers Grum.

No-not my collection :( :(
This is my bosses collection,and im getting paid to restore them-well get them running anyway.
For every engine i get running,he is going to give me one of the smaller engine's O0-along with my weekly pay cheque ;)

Looks like some fun projects there Brad.

First thing to strike me is the likely weight of all that iron.  Do you have some sort of slim pallet jack to move them around or just pure deep breaths and elbow grease?

Yes indeed, those old engines certainly do look heavy!

You're a very fortunate man TinMan, to have access to
those old beauties.  Bringing those old technology
machines back to life is one of the most gratifying
of endeavors.  The old diesel you fired up runs with
the sound of music to one's ears.

Fantastic!

My brother in law is in to restoring similar engines. He would drool at that collection.

A nice respite from a he craziness that is Vegas.

TinMan - The only way to improve on that large engine would be if it blew smoke rings with each firing.
That was a great vid, sounds like tribal dance beats.

Was explaining your work situation to my wife. I was using household items to explain sizings of the engines and said "he gets a desk fan for fixing a clothes basket" lol. I think she understood.

Aye, that is a goodun'!  What a beautiful monster!

With just a wee bit of TLC that one could run forever.

When looking closely at the exhaust plume you'll see
that each "puff" shoots a small donut vortex straight
up into the air which very rapidly flies up several
meters.  Really a very pleasant sound.

They begin to show up with pretty good regularity at
about 18 seconds into the video.  The exhaust seems
to consist of two major areas;  the lower smoke cloud
which blows with the wind horizontally away from the
machine, and the very speedy toroidal vortex which
shoots straight up really, really fast for a surprisingly
long distance.  At about 1 minute and 20 seconds,
near the end of the video, the cameraman shows
more of the exhaust stream and they're very pretty.

It's a shame that they're not made for such durability
today.  Well, maybe the Lister.

Today i have come up with a way to make an AC super capacitor.
Would there be any use or need for such a capacitor?.

It's not as complicated as it may seem...
Your comparison to the commercial AC capacitor is not a fair one. A true AC capacitor can not only charge to either polarity, but it does not need to be "trained" to do so. It will carry a continuous AC current. That's why they are called "AC" capacitors. Your cell does not appear to be able to do that. Your cell however is very interesting. Good work!

The cap will work as an AC cap,but the capacity is that great that the AC cycle would have to be very low,and the current flow very high.The one problem though is that the voltage capacity is very low-2.3 volts.We could of course join a few in series to get the voltage up,but i dont really see a use for such an AC cap of this size.
But to have a super cap that can be charged in either direction would have it's benefit's.

My goal now is to make a 20,000 farad cap the size of a AAA battery.

I still think this is interesting and just the beginning!

What would further my interest in such devices would be if charge / discharge curves could be made such that the overall linearity of the capacitance versus voltage or current is apparent, among other factors. Dissipation factor  and frequency response might also be useful, but not that important for bulk DC storage devices, but is for AC capacitors.

It is good to have a goal that focuses on which parameter of the capacitor is deemed most important.

If it is pure bulk capacitance you are after, remember that is only one factor that makes a capacitor interesting. Other factors would be effective series resistance, life cycle capability, aging without use( on the shelf ), aging with use, change of capacitance versus temperature, self discharge rate, dielectric absorption, peak current capability, to name just a very few.

From the looks of it, it would seem your capacitor is a mesh equivalent of several R's and C's, plus some possible battery effects, hence it's apparent self recharge, It will take quite a bit of testing to identify the internal equivalent circuitry in your device.

I serve at times as a consultant to this company:
 
http://www.highenergycorp.com/
 
and can help you with some test procedures if you are interested.

Nice start. Experimenting with chemical batteries / capacitors can be fun.

Over here, I can't wait for the next video...because of some weird ceiling of 0.4V !
No matter what i'm doing, charging with various cell structures is hitting that problem.
Attached is a pic of the latest. Epsom salts, white vinegar and graphene. Zinc as electrodes. Same thing happens with galv steel as electrodes.
The cell structure doesn't matter, because it doesn't work lol. But anyway, the graphene is in a suspension from a vid that RMS showed several months ago. It worked well when painted with a brush onto a CD and left to dry. Did a YouTube vid on that at the time.
I've painted it onto a piece of packing plastic. Then a piece of a shamwow type thing was soaked in the electrolyte and 2 pieces of a CD are either side for rigidity (with foil removed via the packing tape method).
Pressure is created by a 'papers holding squeezing thing' that i've clean forgotten the name of at the moment  ???

I think i've worked out the 'Tri' in Triphene. The graphene and the 2 electrodes. The charging action forms a carbon coating.

All could well be completely wrong and seems to be  :D
At least it's practice at cell building and I now have a decent way to clamp a real one in the future.

AHA!
Thanks to Lidmotor and his latest video...stainless steel makes a big difference  O0
So, have to wonder if stainless features in the real deal.
I have some IKEA Blanda Blanks, they are similar to Lidmotor's bowls, except magnetic.
Same mixture and graphene painted on the lower one that is where the shamwow type of stuff sits. It puts out 1.2V and the current is 60mA start, fades off within about 3 seconds to 10mA, then sits there for a few seconds. Not bad, only on its 2nd charge yet, though I need to charge with something less powerful.
On that note, the charger is an R/C plane type for NiCd and NiMH. Lowest current is 200mA and it quits if a resistor is used.
In the pic below, you can see what happened to kitchen roll when charged like that ! burned it !

I have to say that I am doubtful that these devices are actually functioning as capacitors. Capacitors store energy in the electric field produced by concentrated positive and negative charges separated by a dielectric. Bigger plate area + smaller separation = higher capacitance. I think the devices under consideration here, including Robert Murray-Smith's, are actually batteries, which are working by electrochemical interactions, ionic flows in electrolytes. I realize that there is some crossover between electrolytic capacitors, and batteries. Perhaps an examination of "ESR", equivalent series resistance, would help to clear up the matter.

I would tend to agree. Also the recharging effect is easily modeled using two capacitors connected through a high resistance. The outside world sees one of the capacitors. Dielectric absorption models are similar. Add some electrolytes like vinegar and baking soda, and you are crossing over into battery land.

Knowledge of the ingredients will shed more light on the electro chemistry involved. Lacking that, standard performance curves would reveal much.

Two problems with that.
1-i am yet to see a battery that will accept a charge of either polarity.
2-i do use a dielectric material between the two plates-there is no conductivity between the two plates.

I'd like to apologise for being a ditz  C.C
There have been quite some stresses at home over the past week or so and I clean forgot about the stainless steel mesh, plus other stated details. Nothing wrong with re-finding the details by trial and error, but if memory was working right, i'd not have needed to rediscover what had already been plainly spoken about in the Triphene videos !!!!

Interesting second point there TinMan. The original way of making graphene was with a piece of tape. Being that tape itself would be a dielectric plastic layer, could that become a super-light method of creating the graphene layer ? and perhaps it is on both sides.
Apologies if you've already stated as much LOL



The stainless is that of fine mesh screen doors. Some time back, I got a sieve from Dollar Tree and intend to use that material. Perhaps another kitchen item to make a Triphene :)

2-i do use a dielectric material between the two plates-there is no conductivity between the two plates.

Modern lead acid batteries are made with dissimilar lead plates, but will accept a reverse charge, just not as much, and probably not good for the life of the battery.

If pure lead is used for both plates (like the original batteries), they can charge effectively in either direction.

Google "lead acid reverse charge" for more info

I suspect you have built a "pseudocapacitor" or "hybrid" capacitor

Also see this on pseudocapacitors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocapacitor

What is the dielectric material in your "capacitor"?

Dear Slider2372.

It seems that the new craze of Vaping might just come to the rescue !!
