4-Channel MOSFET board with optional Driver, Screw Connector and Heat-Sinks

These are - Turnkey - populated, soldered, ready to go modules.

Designed by Azduino by Spence Konde in United States of America

https://www.tindie.com/products/drazzy/4-channel-mosfet-board-with-optional-driver/#product-description

Disclaimer - I have nothing what so ever to do with Spence Konde or his business; this is
nothing more than a purchasing users observation. Also, I found Spence a very good fellow
to work with throught the purchasing process.

LinGen (or other) Fabrication Approach


Fabricating a LinGen Rotor/Stator from "Soft Magnetic Materials" can be difficult and expensive. Wire Coils, MOSFET Drivers
and a Controller (STM32 Microprocessor) are relatively straight forward and easily done by one "skilled-in-the-art."

As seen in this video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSN5Yz1Xq1Q ] using a 20W hobby Diode Laser a 0.004" - 0.006"
thick steel sheet of shim stock can be cut in 2 passes at 6mm per second (?).

Thin Magnetic Metals with a variety of characteristics are available, for example:
[ https://www.arnoldmagnetics.com/precision-thin-metals/ ] .

So, connect the dots... A laminated core (rotor - stator) can be constructed from Laser Cut thin Magnetic Metal foil laminations
and stacked the same as current laminated core motors and generators. This provides a great deal of flexibility and is reusable.


Another approach using the Diode Laser is "Laser Sintering." {a future subject}

Also NOTE that a company just announced a pre-order for a +33W Diode Laser for about $1200US - Atomstack X30
[ https://www.atomstack.net/products/atomstack-x30-pro-160w-6-core-laser-engraving-and-cutting-machine?variant=43713588396282 ]

Again - connect the dots.... Draw out your Stator/Rotor design, determine the cost/performance specs, purchase the amount
of Thin Magnetic Metal sheets required, Laser Cut them, stack them (laminate) , add the Wire Coils, MOSFETS, Driver Boards
and Control Processor, turn the crank (so to speak) and see what you've got
.


A Gauss/Tesla Meter helps [ https://www.ebay.com/itm/154023934198 ]

Recall - this approach is geared towards developing a "Course" that can be easily implemented by educational institutes so the
cost and ease-of-use are primary concerns. Although somewhat expensive, the Laser Cutter can be used for many other tasks
therefore the cost can be justified by spreading it over other projects found in schools, labs and businesses (signs, decorations, etc.).

The above information is nothing more than suggestions and observations - nothing else! Also posted in another forum. Posted here for continuity

Good Luck and have a Great Weekend! 

SL

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The 33W Diode Laser referenced above is ONLY THAT - A REFERENCE - not an endorsement.

Another type of Laser might be better suited to the lamination cutting of thin magnetic steel; maybe a 50W Fiber Laser, for
example. Quite a bit more expensive (~ 4X) however, may provide a much faster speed plus cuts thicker material and can produce
cleaner cuts, etc.. Study laser cutting in some detail before taking the plunge! Also, consider laser sintering and such.

Edit: Added "Important Update"

Note: Attached a photo of Dr. Holcomb's (so called) LinGen Lamination scheme:

Tell me, why does the magnetic field rotate in the Marco Rodin coil?
After all, there are no switches and only one winding. :o

Having built several of those back in the day which I still have, I'm unaware of any experiment that demonstrates there is a rotating magnetic field.

A rotating magnetic field is only a way of speaking. By modulating the intensity of the field in space, reducing it in one place and increasing it in the other, the result resembles what would happen if the field were actually moving when nothing is actually moving along of the apparent path of the field, whether the apparent motion is rotary or linear. Apart from electromagnetic waves, a field is not autonomous, it is always linked to its source and generated by it and from it.

Chief, what are the facts that make you say the field would rotate?

Forgive my non-English speaking question, but "launched" and "market-ready" wouldn't that mean I can buy it today?

1200 square feet is a small house in the US.

So, the 100KW power unit appears grossly over-sized.

Is there and error is one of the numbers?  Should that be a 12,000 square foot building?

Also, I thought building energy usage was in KWh...

Moved all LinGen and other development over to the new Website
 - beta testing and security checks - 

Should be public - invite - soon.

Good luck with your other Excess Energy projects!

I tried to find the video about it, but to my shame I could not do it.
But, nevertheless, a rotating field can be made with a single-phase current, if two coils are arranged geometrically shifted by 90 degrees. This applies, it seems, to single-phase motors.

I don't see how. I once played with two coils at 90 degrees to rotate a compass needle, but fed by two quadrature signals.
If there is only one generator, I think you need a phase-shifting network for one of the two coils.

It definitely works better with a capacitor.
But there is a huge number of single-phase motors in which there is not a single capacitor at all.
For example, in a conventional household refrigerator.
In which the starting winding is turned off completely after starting as unnecessary.

F6FLT,

Responding to your comment above:
" All the information on the Holcomb system comes from Holcomb alone, judge and jury

You can try the concept for yourself - it's quite easy to fabricate and test; then you will
know, in your own mind, if it's BS or not
. Won't take more than a few hours to varify.

Don't be lazy, just do it! Even better, simulate the system - you have to tools to accomplish this.
A lot more convincing than some shakey video, other claims or Power Company testimonals...

This is by far the best way to convince yourself of the validity - one way or the other. Used by many
scientists and engineers. A proven approach that has stood the test of time over the ages!

In an effort to further understand where you seem to have a problem with the LinGen configuration it
might be a good idea to start from the beginning.

What part are you having a problem with?

Starting from the mid school physics experiment where you made an electro-magnet with a wire coil,
a metal core (nails?) and a battery or power supply. Do you recall those experiments? Did you
understand any of the physics behind it? The B-H mechanics of it might not have been explained,
but do you have a feeling for the various types of "metal" involved and what the differences in
magnetic field strengths with respect to the various metals used?

A lot of other variables like distance, coil turns, current, pulse duration, etc. are involved but we can
work through those if necessary. Not all of us see things from the same prospective, but we'll reach
common ground with a little discussion.

At the risk of being redundant, there are a couple of re-posted images attached. The size of the metal
(rotor and stator in gray) is 3" X 5" X 0.5" thick (or there abouts). Both Rotor Coils (eight) and Lap wound
Coil (one) are shown as solid elements which make up many wire windings (thats the way this CAE does it).
Calculate the winding turns, etc. to suit your desired output with respect to your pulse inputs.
The entire WAG LinGen is arbitrary but most similar configurations should give reasonable results. It's a
first pass, wild ass guess, proof-of-concept! 

Finding suitable metal was discussed a while back in the OUR Thread but that can revisited if necessary.

We all can work through this from start to finish if that's what's required. I think this stuff is an important
break-through for all involved (life on the planet going forward) so I believe it's worth the effort.

I know there will be a lot of "smart ass" comments, etc. but I can handle that - I have "Big Boy" pants!

@Solarlab

I don't see what you're getting at. I'm willing to believe as you suggest that Lingen and Holcomb would use a common principle, but classical electromagnetism guarantees no OU no matter what games you play with the B/H relations, and thus no OU in a model (unless there is a bug or unrealistic parameterization).
So you have to go back to real life. Here's what I suggest:
You provide the complete schematic diagram (synoptic and details. Is the one already provided complete?), the measurement protocol you used, and the real measurements that make you say there would be OU.
That's all I need to get started.

It has all been posted here and elsewhere.

Try it for yourself - schematic? your joking!

You must have gotten your "classical electromagnetism guarantees" from this guy!
Probably got your B-H stuff fom him as well.....  cause you sure never got it in the 8th grade...

I have not seen anything like this elsewhere. I guess we don't have the same requirement for evidence.
It certainly wasn't meant to be as clear-cut as the presentation of a supposedly revolutionary experiment should be. That probably explains why it doesn't seem to have attracted much comment from the group. You should do a synthesis.

Physics does not say that extra-energy is impossible, it only says that it has never observed the non-conservation of energy and that consequently the mathematical equations of physics do not create it, otherwise they would be contrary to observations, and therefore false.

If you haven't understood that simulation tools respect the conservation of energy C.C, simply because they are based on physics equations that guarantee it, otherwise it would have been known a long time ago and scientists wouldn't have waited for you, that's your problem, not mine.

Obvious you also know nothing about professional CAE tools - they use "Maxwell's Equations" - which are agnostic to "conservation of energy."
Electromagnetics CAE analysis are NOT based on physics equations. This is well known and has been published widely
.

Your arguments are false, not founded in fact, and are rather foolish.

What ever your point is - it's irrelavent and immaterial and no one cares (as has been repeatidly stated everywhere throught the forums).

So, unless your a Troll, and getting paid for responses to your nonsense, give it up until you have something thats true and of value!
