Where did Thane (crankypants) end up with his device? It's been about 5 years since his fiasco faded.
I think Luc might know him, perhaps he could shed some light on this.
I knew Thane a few years before he even started his research. He was married to my sisters best friend. I helped Thane at Ottawa University for many months and again about 3 years ago to further develop his ReGenX gen coils into motor coils. The event that occurs in Thane's ReGenX coil, core and magnet rotor is a balancing act (correct geometry combination) that when done correctly the gen coil current is delayed when the coil is under heavily load. The gen coil load causes the usual counter torque (rotor magnet pull back) like in a normal generator coil but since that counter EMF goes through a longer than usual core material and when the RPM is high enough with the correct magnet rotor geometry there's enough of a delay that the magnet that induced the original EMF is starting to exit the core and since the CEMF is an opposite pole it starts to attract in the following opposite pole rotor magnet. So it's a form of delayed Lenz that assist when all done correctly. However, at the time I work on the development we were still working with cheap steel laminations and much power was wasted as heat in the core material. Thane has recently had more investors and was able to get custom made Amorphous cores to help reduce the core losses but I have not tested or seen the results using these high end cores. That's all I can share and my understanding that is taking place. Regards Luc
