No
The prototype only produces 90-92 watts,
But with a more precise build, 200 watts is obtainable.
Do you still have the prototype that produces 90 watts?
Yes, calculated using the prony brake method.
I've seen a lot of poor examples of DIY Prony brakes. Achieving smooth braking action, steady torque readings, and accurate RPM indications can be challenging. A large flywheel may be needed for designs that produce significant cogging (similar to smoothing a pulsed circuit with a large cap).
I never claimed i measured 200 watts.
I stated that the units that are going to be handed out would be 200 watts.
My apologies, your OP made it sound like you were pretty far along after two years of development, to the point of being ready to have a more rugged version professionally machined, and that you were "downsizing" your design for the units to be distributed...
Because we learnt from the last saga-the RT
I posted countless videos, taking precise measurements exactly as you asked me to, and look what happened.
Frankly, I have no clue as to "what happened" regarding the RT. The last comments Mark E. and myself made regarding your measurements was along the lines of "barring any shenanigans", your measurements proved that you had indeed achieved OU. The next step we were discussing was the use of a high efficiency buck/boost to close the loop to attempt self-running. At that point, something happened at your end and you and your project went silent. To this day, I have no idea what really happened that caused you to stop working on or discussing the RT as openly as you previously had been.
If you still have the 90 watt prototype of your all magnet motor (or any self-runner), and need to be able to explain why it works, I can suggest several experiments and measurements that would be a good start in that direction. As we did with the RT, we can treat your motor as a "black box", wherein we only need the results of the suggested experiments and measurements.
Before digging into the realm of the "quantum", the initial tests should be geared toward ruling out environmental sources. These will require your prototype to be mounted to its own platform with any required "adjustments" rigid enough to allow the unit to be located and oriented as desired. A phototach or equivalent should be mounted as well to monitor RPM. A way to load the motor, mechanically or electrically, should also be mounted to the motor's platform. I would suggest using an electrical load, particularly if your motor "runs away" when unloaded. This can be a separate shaft or belt driven generator/motor (preferred), or coils located such that your magnets pass by them, connected to a simple electronic load used to regulate the speed (and provide additional measurement data). This doesn't have to be a large load, just whatever is needed to maintain a given RPM. Using a zener to drive a pass transistor into a resistive load would allow no load startups with "fair" speed regulation.
How difficult would it be to make your prototype meet the above requirements?
