Yes-this year we relaxed the rule's,as last year it seemed a bit to hard for most-but it was very simple really.
Anyway,this year-if it is driven by a form of pulsed energy,then your in. So if you want to enter a internal combustion engine,you can. BUT,you have to make it by hand-no using one already built.

We extended the pulse input to other means than electrical,to try and get people to veer away from the old b***** stuff.
The rule's are based around the definition of a pulse motor,and as there is no definition on the web for a pulse motor-it's an open book.

The first PMBO we held was really good,and there were some forms of pulse motors that i had never seen before.One was based around gravity,and worked really well,and another was small explosions of gas being ignited within a skate board wheel-but that had a slight melt down.

Anyway,i will pull that alternator down today some time,and see how it looks inside. I'm looking at a transistor based circuit to drive it (2n3055) as i have lots of them,and there pretty hardy.

All i need Chet,is the fan blade there useing-nothing more.Most of the efficiency there claiming is coming from the new designed blade,not there motor.
This way i can compare there RPM's per watt from there motor,and RPM's per watt from my motor.
There doesn't need to be any CFM calculations taken.All we need to do is show the same (or greater) RPM per watt using the very same fan blade that they use on there setup,with there P/in claims.

So if there claim is 200RPM at 2 watt's,then that is 100RPM per watt-(highly unlikely)
I'm not interested in showing any sort of P/in P/out calculation's,only showing there motor against mine,under the same condition's,doing the same work for P/in.
