so a small idea i had earlier was to use a 100lb iron flywheel with plastic on the outside of it.  Levitate the fly wheel between two neodymium magnets (1200lbs of force each) with polarity together as ++|++ with a magnet on each side of the fly wheel then a magnet on a chassis and above the flywheel on another extension of the chassis.  The unit levitates on the magnetism which greatly reduces it's friction.  Plastic is adhered to the outside of the flywheel.  Then a dissimilar plastic is adhered in a ring shape very close to the flywheel on the chassis so that as the flywheel spins it generates static electricity in a 360 degree fashion.  Fine copper wires are embedded on the plastic adhered to the flywheel to capture the electricity.  The copper wire runs down a shaft on the bottom of the flywheel to a graphite small rod which is the arc point onto a graphite plate that runs into a inductive transformer to reduce the voltage and increase current.  This will allow us to make the static electricity into usable power to charge batteries or run electronic devices.  A motor with a wheel pulls in to get the unit started.  We'll start rpms at 1200 rpms.  Predicting a start up of 1200 watts for 12 seconds.  it should keep it's rpms for about 40 hours at a time.  Actual time will tell once it's built.  People I have called about this said with 100lbs of iron we may be looking more at 90 hours of run time.  ]]> Mon, 5 Jan 2009 21:50:45 Scott the admin http://www.beawindhog.com/forum/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1227135566.51368/ http://www.beawindhog.com/forum/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1227135566.51368/#num1

You download it, burn the ISO to a DVD disc and view it.

More videos will be available in the near future.

Thanks.

This nifty little piece of hardware was borne out of a power outage, a single 500 watt inverter, a messy garage, and a dead battery.

The horrendous winds came once more....(sounds like a prequel to a mystery horror novel....) and knocked the power out...AGAIN.

Well, this time the power went out, and STAYED OUT.  After the first 72 hours, the house was getting quite chilly, and the candles were stinking very badly at this point.  So, out came the flashlights, and the search for the generator to plug into the Natural Gas Tap on the side of the house at the gas meter.  We couldn't find it.  8 hours of searching.  Not enough light and the batteries in the lights were all but dead.  

Out comes the inverter.  Great.  2 good car batteries sitting atop the bench.  Connect to car battery....green light, power up....connect single florescent light...switch light on...   LIGHT BLINKS.  Inverter light goes RED, and inverter squeals the low battery warning.  DARN!  (Add a few other expletives here...) connect to other battery....now we have light.

Find generator, make huge mess getting it out of the storage 'piling system' and crank for 70 minutes to fire it up (rope pulling at -40 is NOT FUN!!!!!!!) now we have HEAT!!  WOO HOO!  And we have a little extra light as well.  

Now about that dead battery....

Voltage: 12.76 Volts.
Connect to 100 Amp load bank for 10 seconds...9....8....ZILCH!

Battery drops off to zilch after 3 seconds on the load bank!  

Check water level....water fine....Check the S.G.  S.G. is good....

Connect Volt Meter....12.76 volts.

Great.

Dandy.

Connect load bank.  

I wonder what happens if I cycle the load on and off in 1 second intervals?  

10....9....8....7....6.....5....4....3....2....1.....0....

Coils are glowing YELLOW HOT and the meter barely budged from the 11.9 volt mark.  What the F***????

Allow the load tester to cool by holding it out in the high speed winter wind for all of a total 15 seconds.  MMM...Nice and FROSTY!!  BRRRRR!!

Now connect load bank again to battery.  Connect and hold....10...9.....8....ZILCH!!  DAMN!

So It got me thinking about this.

So I devised a circuit that cycles the battery in 2 second bursts with a 1 second over-lay in such a sequence that the batteries experience a 2 second spike draw, whilst the appliance experiences only a straight DC current.

I call it the BATTERY LIFE CONTROLLER, BATTERY CONTROLLER, BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER....Whatever.

It works.  A guy from the Pentagon/ DOD came north and dumped $7K on it to finish it out.

I have pictures, and such and will post soon.

It is a PARALLEL CONNECTION TREE for battery to load hookup.  This means that if you are using 6 volt batteries, and you need 18 volts, you will have to assemble them into BANKS of 18 volts to be connected into parallel trees.  

The timing was such that the sequence REQUIRED a system set-up of 8 connection rotation to get the results.  2 seconds burst with a 1 second overlay.  So for the 6 volt batteries making 18 volts, you would need EIGHT BANKS of three 6-volt batteries.  

If you are using twelve 12-volt batteries to achieve 144 volts, then this controller would require that you use EIGHT BANKS of 12 batteries at 144 volts.

The end product is designed to be used to trigger ANY switching device to make it possible to customize it for ANY AMPERAGE requirement.

I will post pictures here shortly.

Since an electric car is in the near future, I am also going to us it on the electric car.  The electric car design uses the Aerothermal Engine Process, but electric heating elements will be the power source for the heat.

Not everything that I build, test and prove out in the lab has an important or industrial or consumer use.  It may only be handy for reference or for someone else's research that helps shed some light on a topic or idea that makes things easier or may be the missing puzzle piece needed for something else.

Otherwise this thread may look like a "Tangential Though Process" that includes "Random Thought Jumping" so bear with the local Mad Scientist here on this one...

UPDATE:  Procured about $500+ in Fittings and copper to make 3-way Super-Heater/Super-Coolers, using LIQUID to LIQUID Heat Exchange, and in a method that allows 20 CUBIC FEET of expansion per second while still flowing freely and unrestricted (like the wave-plate exchangers).

After Dinner, I will explain HOW it works and WHAT it is.

Aurora Energy Technologies LLC is the joint venture that is bringing this technology from the drawing board to reality.  All donations, contributions and help is appreciated.  This technology is worth absolutely nothing if it is never used.  Let's make it happen and use it to free us from the grips of OIL GREED.
