- This is a 3D printed EZ Spin Motor. It turned out being a very clean and nice running build. I also explain how to properly wire up an EZ Spin Motor. This thing would run for a very long time on a 5v super capacitor.

This reminds me of a motor designed by Paul Babcock and his colleagues that re-uses the same electricity over and over, using capacitors, and feeds it back into the magnetic coils that drive the stator. The interesting thing about their motor is that they use switching technology to turn the coils on and off as the magnets in the stator go around.
So basically as a stator magnet approaches the "pulling" coil in front of it's spin direction, that coil switches off, becoming magnetically "dead", and the next coil switches on to pull the stator further, and at the same time the coil behind the stator also switches on to push the stator, creating a magnetic "push and pull" effect simultaneously.
So at all times two coils per stator magnet are active at a time, with a "dead" coil between the two active "pushing" and "pulling" coils, so there is no magnetic drag (Lenz effect) between the stator magnet and the coil it is closest to, which would be resisting the torque, creating a incredibly efficient motor.
This also means that their motor is actually not a generator, it's just purely a motor.
Just search for Paul Babcock here on YT and you're in for a treat :)
Another interesting individual, who's collaborated with Paul, is Jim Murray, and he's built some highly efficient motors too.
There are lots of ways to produce and use energy at a fraction of what we pay our power companies, the only problem is that those companies absolutely do NOT tolerate competition, and they have lots of ways to stop pesky uppstarters.
They even charge you several times for the same electricity, because the power you use is not all consumed and the leftover power is sent back to them and then looped back into the grid. What you think is the ground line actually doesn't go into the ground, but goes straight back into the grid to be taxed over and over.
That's how greedy and anti-progress they are.
Keep that in mind if you're considering buying a electric car...
Keep up the good work master jedi and don't give up!
May the force (fields) be with you :]
OMG why is this so god damn fascinating?!?!?! But it is... Can't stop watching...
why not trying building it and show us?
Barnacules Nerdgasm Hey Jerry :DDD You should totally build one!
Barnacules Nerdgasm cmon 3d printit i whud like to see it jery :)
Build it
+Barnacules Nerdgasm So ironic, I got to this video from watching your 3d printing videos
This is really cool! I had no idea that 3D printing could be so precise!
Works extremely well. Great job.
Finally some cool shit!!! instead of fake free-energy BS videos
Not just the capacitor, as the field of flux on the coils collapse it charges the capacitors, This is a great example of a tank circuit. It's actually the inductive capacitance that gave rise to the fictional invention of the "flux capacitor"... Tank circuits are usually used to make a frequency. More commonly to use a quartz crystal, but old Hams that didn't have a quartz crystal would build and tune inductors and capacitors to build their radios.
+HamrickCE Not only that, an induction coil's energy capacity is only limited by it's operation current where E = 1/2 LI^2, where E is the energy (in joules) "L" is the inductance (in henrys) and "I" is the current (in amps). There are plans to use super conductors to store electrical power at gigawatt-hour capacity for power stations but they are not practical yet. Most of the energy are indeed stored in a stablized electromagnetic flux on the ferromagnetic coil so it's a true "flux capacitor" if you want to put it that way. It actually store energy by the wave-motion of an artificial stationary wave within the conductor coil.
As always. Thanks for sharing your amazing mind with us. Your projects continue to inspire me to keep learning more and more, and to keep pushing on with my own projects. Thanks again brother
Fascinating coffee table conversation piece. Thanks for showing, and sharing it.
VERY VERY COOL! What is the DC resistance of all 12 coils in series?
Great, thank for sharing.
ZeroFossilFuel
Each coil has about 1.1kΩ of resistance. All the coils in series have 13.70kΩ of resistance.
+lasersaber Nice work, what is the maximum amps u can get with this one?
+lasersaber can this somehow be combined with the vortex effect from the modified tesla motor made by Mr. Teslonian?
you should put it in a glass jar once its spinning, and make it a vacuum. it should run for even longer! as there will be less friction as it spins
Less air resistance you mean
And air resistance is friction between the object and the air...
Thanks for showing this lovely little motor.
Congratulations on not making wild claims like so many do. I like how you explained everything as it is without hiding batteries and blowing smoke up your butt like so many out their do. Great work and excellent build.
How much do you want for one of these?
Is there anywhere I can find the 3d drawing file for this so I can print one? I really would like to make one. Thanks!

I updated the bobbin on the latest build but have not got around to uploading the .stl file onto my website. The old file works fine if you print with bobbin with support.
lasersaber Awesome! Thanks man!

@@Thunderstormworld I think he deleted it or something because I can't seem to find it either. Not only this project but other older ones as well. Weird.
Very nice project Lasersaber! Keep up the good work!
Your experiments contribute to make the tech education more affordable in times when the educational system is ripping off our students. I made two 3D printers, one prosthetic hand and two 3D printed drones (including a DJI Inspire clone). All that information including .stl files where gathered by me from Open Sources around the world. I don't even have an electronics degree. I wish there were more people like you.
WOW, how cool, is it possible to buy one of these from you..??? I would love to have built one my self, but as the nerves in my hand are getting worse with time I lack enough control to handle such detail any longer.. I'm 66yr old Disabled Vietnam Veteran now in a wheelchair full time. I still have a VTVM that wouldn't load it down like your DVM does, I wonder home much longer it would run with that connected... Also those 3-D printers are doing amazing things.. Thanks for your videos... Bob

Loving this. Forty years ago. I spent a lot of time getting hammered by people with doctorates that would immediately jump all over me saying perpetual motion for my motor. I always said there is a huge difference between "forever" and "several decades depending on materials" but they would never listen. So thankful people are actually doing it now. Closed minded people kill innovation. Subscribed.
Well they were right, and this motor proves they were.
@@adampizzi8870 this machine possibly does one thing they say is impossible. You know, the one that says you can't get more energy out of something, than you put into it?
But that simple breath of air, could barely begin to inflate a balloon, yet it was enough to propel this device for hours, maybe even days with more refinements.
If I discovered this incredible ability of my capacitors to gain charge at sub optimal voltages on such a device, I would definitely move on to higher quality components with even less drag, in a vacuum, it could run for years, if you get it right....
@ned1 The thing about the law of conservation is there's a serious problem with it, there is no transduction between the kinetic input and electric output in a "generator":
"According to these equations, in time-variable systems electric and magnetic fields are always created simultaneously, because they have a common causative source: the changing electric current [the last term of Eq. (1-4.1) and the last term in the integral of Eq. (1-4.2)]. Once created, the two fields coexist from then on without any effect upon each other. Therefore electromagnetic induction as a phenomenon in which one of the fields creates the other is an illusion. The illusion of the "mutual creation" arises from the facts that in time-dependent systems the two fields always appear prominently together, while their causative sources (the time-variable current in particular) remain in the background."
"a time-variable electric current creates an electric field parallel to that current [the last term of Eq. (1-4.1)]. This field exerts an electric force on the charges in nearby conductors thereby creating induced electric currents in them. Thus, the term “electromagnetic induction" is actually a misnomer, since no magnetic effect is involved in the phenomenon, and since the induced current is caused solely by the time-variable electric current and by the electric field produced by that current."
"There is a widespread belief that time-variable electric and magnetic fields can cause each other. The analysis of Maxwell’s equations presented above does not support this belief. It is true that whenever there exists a time-variable electric field, there also exists a time-variable magnetic field. This follows from Maxwell’s Eqs. (1-1.3) and (1-1.4) as well as from Eqs. (1-4.1) and (1-4.2).
But, as we have seen, neither Maxwell’s equations nor their solutions indicate an existence of causal links (no causation) between electric and magnetic fields. Therefore we must conclude that an electromagnetic field is a dual entity always having an electric and a magnetic component simultaneously created by their common sources: time-variable electric charges and currents.° This conclusion must hold for all electromagnetic fields, including electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves."
-Causality, Electromagnetic Induction, and Gravitation: A Different Approach to the Theory of Electromagnetic and Gravitational Fields by Oleg D. Jefimenko
No transduction, no transfer, the power in the stator is induced by the changing quantity of magnetic induction with respect to time, effort is merely exerted to spin the magnets and fight the Electromagnetic Retardation (Lenz) in the circuit, but this is mistakenly seen as a transfer of "energy" between the sources. Tesla got around this problem by redirecting the retarded fields with his Unipolar Dynamo:
"But let us now suppose the disc to be subdivided spirally, as indicated by the full or dotted lines, Fig. 4. The difference of potential between a point on the shaft and a point on the periphery will remain unchanged, in sign as well as in amount. The only difference will be that the resistance of the disc will be augmented and that there will be a greater fall of potential from a point on the shaft to a point on the periphery when the same current is traversing the external circuit.
But since the current is forced to follow the lines of subdivision, we see that it will tend either to energize or de-energize the field, and this will depend, other things being equal, upon the direction of the lines of subdivision. If the subdivision be as indicated by the full lines in Fig. 4, it is evident that if the current is of the same direction as before, that is, from centre to periphery, its effect will be to strengthen the field magnet; whereas, if the subdivision be as indicated by the dotted lines, the current generated will tend to weaken the magnets.
In the *former* case the machine will be *capable of exciting itself when the disc is rotated in the direction of arrow D;* in the latter case the direction of rotation must be reversed. Two such discs may be combined, however, as indicated, the two discs rotating in opposite fields, and in the same or opposite direction."

There is a video that shows a hint of this in action on UA-cam from TamBee where he took a copper disk and cut engravings into it and compared the result to a disk with simple straight cuts, the result was a massive drop in input resistance. So yeah, it's definitely possible to get higher output than input, it's just a matter of correctly directing the fields to stop them fighting the input or even assisting it, the power systems are in reality open one that gives the illusion of being closed.
It's like expending "energy" to lift a rock using a machine, if you use a machine to lift a heavy rock, the gas is spent, but the power isn't stored in the rock. If you drop the rock, the kinetic energy of the impact is significant, but does not originate from the engine that lifted the rock in which you put in the "energy", everything is an open system and merely needs to be designed correctly so it doesn't fight itself. And I haven't even touched on Synchronous Parameter Variation here.
Don't let people discourage you.
I've seen motors do things they say are absolutely impossible made by reputable people with nothing to hide.
In fact, there are a few videos on YT.. while Maybe 1 or 2 in 100 are real... that are working and real devices. They just don't have click baity names and typically try their best to fly UNDER that radar.. and will rename them other things mostly for select viewers they want to show it to.
Never let people who have never done a single experiment in their life discourage you from trying things outside the box.
It's a free world. You are free to buy and try as many things that "don't make sense" as you wish.
It's funny when people get offended like you stole something from them.
For me, it's fun, mechanically exciting, and alluring to try things that most will never even attempt to try to do.
Totally agree. Never lose hope!
Experiment with things that don't make sense! It's how discoveries get made!
This is a very interesting unit you have created. It would be a great piece to look at on a work desk to inspire thought. Thank you
I saw once that a guy had made coils by wrapping them around a small ball in order to make a semi-spherical coil. His draw from these coils was amplified a bit, not sure how much I cannot remember at this point, but use a bit bigger of a gauge, face the rounded part of the sphere toward the motor and see what you get. Worth a shot!
Good work!
It would be interesting to run it in a vacuum (an evacuated bell jar) or even a partial (half atmosphere or so)
put it in a vacuum
that is exactly what I thought
It will get hot faster.
friction is Resistance
vicioustonez
Won't do anything, the contact friction and capacitor loss is much higher than the air friction.
I thought this would be a free energy vid and almost skipped it. Very glad I watched it, I love this design. Thanks also for the detailed explanation.
I've also used very small shaft diameters (pins) on my prints to reduce resistance, so simple but effective. I wonder how much better efficiency would be by smoothing out the rotor with the magnets impregnated and sealed over? It always surprises me that manufacturers don't attempt to smooth over magnets on brushless motors (especially outrunners), and instead have very un-aerodynamic rotor with magnets protruding into the confined space where air must be flowing around them in constant compression and decompression cycles creating massive turbulence (especially at the 20k+ rpm some of these motors can get up to.
Hey buddy I have been away for a long time .. Its nice to see you are still making some great motors
Keep up the great work
Great vid
I built one of those when i was a kid, but i threw it out because it just kept going faster
jj coolj why, that doesnt sound smart
yeah i think that wasnt smart either, just build NORMAL motors man!
haha
watching the simpsons raises your intelligence!!
In this house WE RESPECT THE LAWS OF THERMAL DYNAMICS >:(
If it is perfectly machined, it can run more then a day I think
Love watching your experiments.
Glad to see you came back
There is a branch of industrial power equipment that is things like this.
Rotors that store electric charge in kinetic energy, in a very very low friction tubes.
And when the power grid needs VERY FAST POWER INJECTION they connect the coils backwards and give the energy back to the power grid.
They don't heat as massive batteries would, they store more energy, they have higher power delivery.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage
EDIT: I forgot to congratulate you, this is an amazing demostrarion of kinetic/electric energy conservation :)
Exactly- Williams "Flybrid" storage system as used in the Porsche hybrid GT racer. This is a small, simply regulated version of that system, which they use as the storage medium for their KERS systems. Trabber Shir explains the principle very well.
Audi brands their solution e-tron. It's been getting used by them in Le Mans for years (think it's banned now because of their domination) and now they're bringing it to consumer vehicles.
Your magnetic reed switch going from one side of the coil string to the capacitor is open. Like, you can look at it and see the gap between the conductors really clearly. There isn't a circuit here.
I thought it was a reed switch, too, but those contacts look unmoving. The gap between the metal is what makes it a capacitor. There is a circuit there as the electrical energy is stored in an electric field between the contacts. This works in AC but a capacitor blocks a DC current. The Inductance of the coils with the Capacitance means that this circuit has a particular resonant frequency and the speed of the motor will be defined by it. If those contacts do happen to be slightly moved by the generated magnetic fields of the local coils if will create a variable capacitance as the contacts move in and out from each other.
nope, not in resonance, it works just as he explains. You simply cannot see the reed switch moving, the gap is tiny and the contacts moving fast, no way this can be captured without a high speed camera and a microscope.
a) it is in circuit
b) there is energy put into the circuit, as he explaines and measures
Love it...Fun and informative. Thanks much and keep up the good work!
How cool.....great work as always
You might have fewer skeptics if you point out that the spinning platter is a flywheel energy storage system.
The platter transfers its energy to the circuit via the generator coils at a rate that is a function of the angular velocity. The motor coils also accelerate the flywheel as a function of voltage. This creates an equilibrium speed that is a function of energy in the system where the generator coils are slowing the platter at the same rate the motor coils are accelerating it.
Energy is lost to the system mostly through friction and a very little bit through heat generated in the electric circuit. Thus you are essentially demonstrating that your flywheel mounting loses very little energy to friction while running (measured as energy use while at full speed, most of the energy 'used' while the platter is accelerating is actually just being stored in the platter).
I should also point out that this at least partly explains the rebounding voltage you saw, you do not want to attribute it all to dielectric absorption. The capacitor discharged all of its energy but the flywheel did not get decelerated all the way to zero angular momentum and thus, when the short was fixed, the platter was continuing to feed its stored energy into the capacitor as it decelerated. Note that the voltage you are measuring is a function of the energy in the electric circuit and mostly ignores the energy stored in the flywheel.
What if he could somehow suspend the flywheel using magnets in such a way that the pin never touch the flywheel. Maybe less energy lost resulting in a higher 'almost perpetual motion' ?
***** Sapphire Vee Jewel Bearings so very low friction.
Matthew Cox
The magnets he would use to suspend it would interfere with the rotation and prevent it from spinning.
You cannot remove friction from the system.
megamixa "Maybe" IMHO, if he used suspension magnets only in the center they would not interfere much at... although even maglev systems still have "friction", that maglev friction is much lower than the normal bearing methods (railroad car wheels).
We need to do some experimentation for sure. If not removing friction at least getting it so low that it almost matter. What about an array of magnets setup so that yeh eventually friction would slow it down but use a capacitor and solar panel to pulse the flywheel when it gets to a specific rpm. If I had to even hand crank a motor one every few months to get constant power I wouldn't mind.
Don't ship it running. The faint ticking will give some poor postal worker a heart attack. Probably best to remove the rotor so it doesn't bend the pin.
That's the song
Thanks for shining a light through the mostly opaque base to help persuade us there's no battery, but it would be a bit more convincing if it was clear plastic or glass or something
Very nice build, will have to try tantalums.
Got a reed motor to use 1V per half hour on a 1F supercap starting at 3V, but nothing like this. Hats off squire, wicked design :)
I want one how much will the cost?

Maybe someday I will add them to the product list at teslamaker.com . Right now in addition to my other projects I am already behind on the Tesla Torch lights and have people waiting for me to add more.
lasersaber can you make one that can power a light bulb I can 60 watt light

***** So when do you predict that the earth is going to stop turning? Better hold on tight!
Physics & Stuff, why all planets keep on moving around sun...? and where from energy for movement of Planetary system is coming...? Physics is fascinating but knowledge of physicists is Yaaakkkk...!
Has anyone attached one of these to a windmill? Seems like a logical progression.
lol for what purpose?
As the motor spins, it produces a current that can be harnessed. Because it wants to spin with very little applied force, it could potentially generate current in very low winds.
MindOverEverything And it could go and go without wind for sometimes before it stop...
Hariz Izzudin Exactly! :-)
MindOverEverything however the time it is spinning with the little wind it would be generating so little amounts of current it would be pointless. it would mean that it would need to spin far faster than a normal windmill to generate anything useful.
beautiful work man...really cool.
great design! if you scale this up, is there any use for this for a horizontal wind turbine?
Does this power Iron Man's armor?
so what it is really is a really efficient motor but like most "perpetual" motion or such devices it can't actually do much other than power itself.
+Lunas Eclipse Not even that, it eventually winds down from the initial jump start it is given.
Perpetual motion doesn't exist.
Actually I would qualify it with "useful perpetual motion" does not exist.
+Lunas Eclipse Nothing can perpetually move other than in a single direction in space where there is no gravity or air resistance. On earth, even in a vacuum, nothing can move forever and power itself. The energy has to come from somewhere, and if that power is from itself, then it will eventually slow down and stop moving due to friction from a bearing, gravity, etc.
+joshmosky A huge flywheel can power up itself by coriolis force from the earth's rotation. You can also use tidal force to power something because the gravitational force changes from the moving moon allowing energy to be extracted. Though, there is not enough power to do any useful work. We don't even have a clock that is powered by earth's rotation yet, while air pressure or temperature differential, and atmospheric noise (radio) powered clocks that runs indefinately while stationed on the earth already exist.
+Lunas Eclipse It is a closed system...a spinning disc...nothing more.He just overcomplicated it to give the illusion that it it some kind of device, that can run very long which it can't.
Awesome motor! I love it! hanks for sharing!
happy new year and great little motor you make!
many people interesting to buy these little motors for desk decoration,,

run... run it on a nuclear battery, I know they come in a DIP package for very low power electrical functions
I am going to try that. See here: ua-cam.com/video/Os2T0vZGs_E/v-deo.html
You sir, Just earned yourself a subscription.:)
Why would you need all those coils? I think without the coils and currents flowing through them you would even run much longer than with them. I mean the real point is the increadibly good bearing.
+Martin Gyurko YOu need the coils to create the minute amount of power it does make to power itself
The tantalum capacitors there look VERY interesting!!!
Very creative and clean invention.
The coils look like little people holding hands.
Best comment here lol!
a Perpetual Machine without load *lol*
+LearningToFly77 all machines would be perpetual with no load.
Friction?
Art and Physics combined. Nice! Thanks
do you know what pisses me off ? The fact that someone on youtube comes up with this super idea, and why the fuck don't energy companies adopt ideas like this.
This isn't an original idea, and they don't use it often because they aren't very useful for power companies. However, car companies put this in racecars because its basically a type of battery that uses momentum to store energy instead of chemical reactions, and it has properties very useful for electrically assisted racecars. NASA uses it as well, I imagine because it doesn't suffer from wear from being cycled quickly, making it very useful for low-orbiting satellites that go from day to night over and over very quickly.
Think of it as a battery with kinda fast self-discharge, good efficiency, decent energy density, high cost, and stupidly quick charge and discharge times. Racecars use it because no conventional type of battery can come even close to handling the amount of energy generated by a racecar without making the battery so big and heavy that it would just make the car too slow. Remember, the Prius can't save any of the energy from braking more than about 20% mainly because the batteries won't accept that amount of energy at once. Imagine how much a racecar decelerating as fast as physically possible at 200+mph would overload conventional batteries.
I would love to buy one please contact me at firobug on google mail account... or could you start selling these on ebay... i do think a simple upgrade would make this a perpetual motion machine. A second motor or actuator that could be triggered by a low spin or timed event and quickly give the machine a push... then this current could be tapped for an external storage bank.....would love to see results....
I hate music in videos but yours always has this firefly type feel to it, love it.
I love how this starts out with a lot of, "Oh god, don't associate this with that perpetual motion quackery!", and then 11:00 happens. It's like the caps just wanted to mess with you.

David Gardner I think you missed the mark there buddy.

I think *you* missed it, it was a joke.
even though it was a joke, infinite energy would mean energy would be free meaning no infinite money
actually it would mean infinite money
if someone discovered that i'm fairly sure it would sell for trillions
Nope, infinite electricity would mean that electricity would cost next to nothing
I would buy this on kickstarter who else would?
Well presented. Refreshing. Thank you
any plans to show videos of how this performs under load conditions? that would be interesting to know
It's ok, he doesn't have batteries, he only has capacitors. -_-
+Бојан Драшко yes it will stop at some time in the future it just lasts for a long time
+Бојан Драшко Okay? He says multiple times he is not claiming it will run forever or that it charges itself and says multiple times he uses capacitors... he's not trying to hide it...
+Бојан Драшко I think it's called a flywheel
Which are empty when you start it, what's your point?
Бојан Драшко I
This reminds me of when I worked at the Gyro shop of a Naval Dockyard where gyros were items that went around at high speed on air bearings.
That shaft looks thin and so I would be careful to transport it without protecting the rotor. Very nice indeed.
I am of the old breed and so such equipment as powerful magnet and tantalum capacitors did not exist. IN my time on expected to have 1 weber per metre sqr. so our motors had to have a lot of steel in them.
Congratulations.
excellent video very informative and interesting, do you get any back spike on the reed switch or do you have anything in to compensate for that??? or is it needed, anyway fantastic I love it.
you are the closest yet that ive seen you can make it biger or smaller to power a house awsome finally
Great channel. Great attitude. Don't worry about the naysayers. The world needs more selfless innovators. Not only that, but you are encouraging other people of all skill levels to learn and experiment around the world. Some people can't handle the fact that not everything is in a text book laid out nice and neatly for them. And some are just petty. It is nothing new. Keep up the good work.
Try to pulse the circuit instead using a reed switch just with a fast toggling selfrunning relay switch...so it generates multiple switches in the same interval. This will induce much more voltage into the caps. Every extra switching spike counts ! Just look into the Konehead and Aviso coil shorting effect where it is done simular.
Regards, Stefan.
I'm diggin' this re-imagining of the Top-Gun Theme
really cool stuff man, thumbs up
Thank you for all your videos regarding the subject. It really got me started. I am trying to build a 12 coil version of 7000 windings each using 42 AWG wire. Gives around 1.7 kohm each. I made a video about a automatic coil winder I build to make the winding more easy. I wonder what you think about it.
Thank´s for share! well done tuning
Nice work. Can you build one of these with a thicker shaft capable of supporting a 8 inch tall vertical axis wind turbine and make any real charging power?
With 42AWG wire, how many ft. or meter do i need for each spool?
That's awesome I wonder would you could achieve using a much bigger cap. and what you could actually use it for.
this geometry is great its the equivalent of a circuit which which bounces the charge of a capacitor and an oscillator like a field coil
I would sure like to have/buy one of these!
Would there be any advantage to use this as the base unit to a windmill to more easily generate energy from wind? Sort of a boost to the blades rotating to produce energy?
For the people that have watched enough of your video's, we already know that you are not a scam artist or hoaxer. Keep up the good work.
@lasersaber how can you be sure that the coils aren't storing a charge? -- Especially at the point where you put drag on it, and it spins back up faster and charges the capacitor higher, it would seem to indicate that there is charge being stored in the coils themselves (in addition to the capacitor) and that it's just evening out the charge (you only short the capacitor, not the coils, so it would make sense).
this is really nice,simple...amazing
back in 2012 I made a crude prototype for this same idea. I knew perpetual motion wasn't possible, but I figured it would either make a very good magnetic bearing, or a very efficient flywheel battery. or both honestly. I think people jump to criticize this idea because they think you're trying to trick them into thinking it's a perpetual motion device, when in reality it could be very useful without needing to be perpetual.
It is a great project! It runs so smoothly...
By any chance could You share were you by your coils?
Y would like to make one myself.
Excellent work the same with higher dimensions and this one to make the other started to run with electromagnets included :-)
What happens when four run it, and 8 charge it. What's the voltage in/out comparison? I've seen one made with only one coil run, so... Just a curious question. Also, what's the wrap count on your coils, and what type of magnet is used? Neo or better? That is one smooth operator, nice job on those bearings. Awesome work, dude.
Amazing! great video!
Nice job!
Loving the "almost" Lawl
outstanding efficiency
nice work fella what would the cost be for one of these ?
Well done ! Hsppy new year !
That's amazing. I would like one. I might just build one though.
Wow. That motor can run for a long periodically time. xD
It would be great if you could develop a miniature version to mount underneath ac brushless motors to act as an alternator for drones, obviously the goal would be to increase flight times. I imagine you could create some ducts to draw a little of the downwash from props to produce the spin, kind of like Kers for drones!
Unfortunately, the amount of energy you would get would would be less than the amount you lose by the extra drag slowing you down. However, I imagine you could reverse the coils in your motor to slow down the propeller speed, increasing drag, but capturing that drag as electricity could be useful as a sort of regenerative airbrake, however that wouldn't really increase flight times as unless you use an airbrake a lot, its more efficent to gain altitude to store more momentum or just go easier on the throttle than it is to use such a brake.
Amazing !! How does this kind of spin motor works?
It is a very cool motor, i was wondering besides demonstration and novelty is there anything this motor can be used for? It is very interesting and i was wondering if i could use it in my own projects.
i really wonder what happens if you had longer end wires, hung up higher, creating a antenna type of situation. maybe have halve the coils generate and halve the coils act as motors, separating them?
Remarkable! Thanks for sharing.
So what can you actually use something like this for? To run some LED's or something? How much current is it actually outputting. Could it be used as like some kind of emergency lighting?
Thats awesome for an ARC Reactor prop. Thanks :D
Well to see this in action it brings to mind the potential of how few are the forms of energy and mechanics we have yet to tap. Today's cool experimental project may be tomorrows everyday super efficient, low energy work horse. Nice project!
rheniformer 3 BIG RESOURCES UNTAPPED: 1. Lightening (over 20,000 per day in just FL alone each could power a city for a few days?
2. DIff in temp between night and day (especially in the north) OR imagine the solar dish heating the hot end of the sterling engine, the cold end goes thru the center of the dish and is buried in snow and in the shade of the dish? LOGIC: the amount of heat energy given to the earth each day is more than we need.. we just need to get good at harnessing it. IE. calculate the amount of BTU's it would take to heat the whole USA to from say 20 deg at night to perhaps 35 in the daytime? Or just calc the btu's to heat the USA just 15 degrees on any clear day.. it ALOT... so we are energy wasters...being bombarded with energy while paying thru the nose for energy ? 3: Same for drinking water, we get rain almost every week.. but we just sit inside let soak into ground.,. then complain about high water costs and not enough to go around, then we let them talk us into super high cost $$ de-salinization plants? sounds like we are not paying attn ?
This is really inspiring. At first I thought "IRON MAN!" because that is fun.
But looking at it function it has brought me to an interesting idea.
Like you, my first classy thought was to put a glass dome over it, but a spark of inspiration along with the straw has made me re-think this.
Instead a strictly glass for-show dome, how about a setup of small (hexagon?) solar panels to form a dome? Modifying the axel a bit to allow for wiring to pass through the flywheel into the base and wiring to help drive it. Along the lower portion of the dome, instead of a solar surface (and while fun, we could abandon that all together) you have air ducts which funnel air into internal straws pointing towards the flywheel.The flywheel itself could have cups or other more efficient structure to capture and use it to propel the motor and begin generating power.
You would want a circuit which when max capacitance is reached will start dumping energy out for whatever kind of use you might come up with. Maybe you could power a simple camera or whatever sillyness I don't know.
I realize a simple omnidirectional wind generator is probably more efficient and an outside application most definitely would require a bit of thinking on weather-resistance but for a really nerd-soul-filling project I think it would be fun at very the least.
I'd love to drop money on one of these and ideas I mentioned but I certainly don't have it in any capacity. If people are interested in the concept I'll totally fire up blender and try and get an animated model going. I would love to see such a thing built in reality though!
Cheers, I really enjoyed this one.
Great Job, tahnks for sharing!
