So I have been working constantly since 2:00PM EST on my perpetual
motion machine. All the parts I ordered arived on my doorstep, and I
went straight to work. I got one $300 wind generator, that could crank
out a wapping 1.5 volts, (but don't ask me what the wattage on the
thing is). And I got a low voltage 0.3volt motor.
But low and behold I found out my famous quadrupole magnet wasn't
strong enough to spin the generator, even when I used the strongest
magnets in my collection I had to get it spinning. So I got a few
different sized washers from the hardware store, and I build a
quadrupole around the generator, with my real presicion made quadrupole
at the center. And wouldn't you know that the thing spun like crazy?
It worked so much better using the real quadrupole at the center, and I
arranged 6 magnets underneath it, and around the generators axel in
another quadrupole. I doubled up the strength of 2 of them and used
smaller magnets for the four others. They switched polarities half way
around the circumfrence of the generator. And boy did it spin.
The only problem was that my motor didn't have enough torque. And to
compensate for this, I put a long piece of plastic on the end of my
motor, and stuck magnets to the end of the plastic. That way when the
motor spins the magnets turn around a larger circumfrence. This seemed
to work, and when I turned the motor on with a AA Battery, my generator
would complete 3 or 4 rotations before the magnets on the motor would
stop and stick the the magnets on the generator. That sucked, and I
could tell the problem was that the motor was spinning too fast instead
of using all the torque it had.
So I see a few options I can try. I can get a lower voltage generator
that will spin only using my quadrupole magnet. Or I can get a higher
torque motor, that will spin my generator when I am using my fabricated
quadrupole with super strong magnets. But first I am going to try to
get some gears for the equipment I already am experimenting with to
turn all of the super fast speed my motor has into extra torque.
That's what gears are made for!
I'm just posting this because I need ideas on how I can get a generator
that needs less torque or get a motor that has more torque, or even
info on using gears. My motor already has the maximum efficiency I
could hope for, operating at 0.3volts, and my generator cranks out a
lot of power as well. Its just that I need to work with lower wattages
overall. And I think the best route I could go from here would be to
buy another generator with good efficiency that could generate a
smaller voltage, and see if I can't find another low voltage motor that
was already geared down for torque. But any tips or advice on
experimenting would help while I play around with gears and keep
looking at my options.
Thanks!!!
