Hi Everybody: Been absent for a couple of months and am eager to know your opinion about my new generator. You may watch it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTYk7ek5nVw&feature=channel

This unit has six pole-pairs; the magnets I used are the NeFeB ones with the following dimensions: diameter 15 mm, thickness 5 mm. Of course, 12 of these are used to form the 6 pole-pairs.
Their centers are at 32 mm from the axis of rotation. While at 38 rps, Vrms is 92 V, peak to peak voltage at this same speed is 250 V. One advantage of this design, is its low cogging torque.
Chèr Marc: I would very much like to know your opinion about these numbers. Feel free to ask any questions about the design. You may find my email address on the youtube page.

¡Hola Daniel! Nice to read you again.

I was just passing by - being less present on forums and more on Sapo's Joint than here - and can't watch your video until I upgrade my Flash Player, which didn't succeed immediately.

So I'll be back when I've fixed that #&@!!! Flash Player.
¡Hasta luego!

Hi Marc! I'm glad to hear from you again. In our previous communication I told you we were working on the design and construction of a PMG for our turbine. Well, it took us six months' hard work but I think we did it! I am ready to answer all the questions you might care to ask about the design but I am convinced you will like it. I hope you can fix this flash problem soon and I shall be looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Daniel

Very cool! Is it similar to this device pictured here (a much simpler one):

http://www.discoverthis.com/project-simple...-generator.html

Hi Empress: I wouldn't call them similar, mainly because of the fact that my prototype has axial flux and and on top of this, it's got twelve wound cores in such a little space. Our prototype has been machined to to highest precision possible. For instance the gaps between cores and magnets (there are gaps on both core ends are only 0.5 mm wide! besides all these construction characteristics, our prototype can generate real high voltage. Peak to peak voltage at 38 rps is 250 V (roughly 90 rms). The bulb on the video is - as I indicated above - a 75 W 110 VAC unit.
I thank you for your interest and I will be glad to answer all the questions you care to make to better understand our device.

Is this related to anything invented by Nikola Tesla? He was the one who made alternating current electricity useful and made the first practical AC generators and motors in the 1880's. We still use his alternating current today. The reason I ask is that there is a certain familiarity about what you are showing here. I remember reading biographies about Tesla and how he would get more magnets and more coiled wires and get more and more power. He kept getting higher and higher voltages even to the point of making his own lightning.

Not all of his ideas got developed and used. Some people find these and try to develop them because Tesla was ahead of his time, especially in areas in how to get more power by having it work more efficiently.

I was looking around Google for Tesla generators, but there are so many I did not know which one is similar to yours (Such requires more knowledge than I have. Mine is a very crude understanding.) However, this thing that Tesla made is fun to watch:

He used this to demonstrate his rotating magnetic field. People at that time tended not to believe him.

I found another version of the Egg of Columbus that is pretty cool:

Hi Empress: I am afraid my alternator is not related in any way to the Tesla coil;a Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit. It is usually used to generate very high voltage, low current, high frequency alternating current electricity and consists of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits. My device has only one winding for each of the 12 cores and they are all connected in series. The innovation is the construction of a slot-less stator which means that the pole pairs see a continuum of cores as they rotate. Properly connected you double the voltage you get with standard generators and you get the additional advantage of doing away with cogging torque.

Tesla did so many different things so I had wondered if what you were doing had anything to do with anything he did.

Is the one you have your own original invention for which you are getting a patent?

I thought that all that was possible in the world of electric generators and motors had been done. If there is still room in that area I would be curious. These days all that is new on the scene has to do with the quantum world in some way, superconductors and such.

I have looked at many people's web pages and videos on Youtube of all sorts of electrical gizmos. Most are recreating things Tesla did. If someone has truly made something that has never been made before, that would be interesting indeed.

Hi Empress: Two people are responsible for this contraption: myself and a friend of mine who happens to be an electronics engineer. As a matter of fact we did file for a patent on this device as we didn't find similar topologies in the literature. Do you know if it's possible to post pictures in this forum? I have a couple of pictures showing the interior of the alternator and they are very helpful to understand the topology.

Daniel

You use the IMG button above. It will not put the picture directly, but it will give a link right to the picture like this:

Hi, Empress: I tried to follow your instructions but was forced to abort the operation when they asked me the URL of the images. Surely the images I can publish are those which are already on the web (which is not the case for the pictures wee are talking about). If you are really interested in having these pics , you can send me a mail to my address and then send a reply with pics included. Regards,
Daniel

email: danielcastez@gmail.com

I emailed you just now. Hope it works.

I saw your pics. That looks like a very neatly constructed device.

To other members of this board: The pictures are interesting to see. Surely there are some people here who have a better understanding than I do about technical matters.

I sent you an E-mail requesting your pictures of your Generator Turbines that you invented. I am curious as to what it looks like and what is their purpose.

Hi everybody: I am adding a link to the pictures mentioned above:

Hope you like them. Regards,

I saw both links you put up. You did a very good invention. I can not praise you enough for such good innovation. We need alternative energies badly. It looks like your design is the best that I have seen. Yours spins faster than the usual wind turbines so I gather by the faster speed you make more electricity with yours than the other leading brands. I could be wrong. I am just guessing. Your Generator looks small compared to Tesla's. Does this small generator equal the large ones? Did you create such efficiency that yours is very compact? Is your Generator a prototype model or the real thing to be used in the field? I hope my questions do not seem stupid to you but I have no experience in electrical engineering. I read a few books about Nikola Tesla and find his genius interesting. Good luck with your patent. I hope you make alot of money with it. Tesla was robbed because he was far too kind with his inventions he shared with the world. People tried to avoid paying him what was rightly due Tesla for such genius. So make sure you have a good lawyer and watch your back. People are many times ungrateful for people of genius. I wish you all the luck.

Hi Horta: Thanks for your comments on the wind turbine. It's a great machine. As for the generator, it's a small prototype made with the sole objective of verifying a theoretical model. We did verify it entirely and we can now go back to the drawing table to concoct a bigger one (2.5 Kw). We are right now working on it and were it not for lack of resources (money!) it could be in operation today. We need some more time. In any case, the important thing is to have the new design tested and approved by an engineering team and that's what we already have.

Danielhugo

Good luck with making the final big one. I hope you can get the money needed. Money is always the hardest thing to obtain. Money is the curse of our existence.
