Discussion about the Lockridge Device

[Ufopolitics]

Hello All,

Now, in order to be successful on this project, we need to ANALYZE INDEPENDENTLY BOTH SYSTEMS (MOTOR AND GENERATOR).

PREVIOUSLY, ON THE UNMODIFIED DYNAMO, we need to identify which Stator is North and which is South, when applying DC INPUT Negative to Ground and Positive to the Isolated Stator connection...WITHOUT ARMATURE ON, we get the Magnetic Orientation Pen and MARK THAT NORTH STATOR ON THE INSIDE AS ON THE OUTSIDE!!

And when we assemble the Armature back, and power Dynamo as a Motor, using the "unidirectional" connection, or the Positive to the isolated brush and Negative Ground, we get a ROTATION DIRECTION, WHICH I WILL CALL IT "CONVENTIONAL DIRECTION"...and mark that rotation from the face you are looking at, typically BRUSH SIDE, as that is the Convention I have been using on ALL CADS here.!!

Or simply, you could add a piece of masking tape and wrap it around a part of the outer housing and write an arrow -on tape- following this conventional direction.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART!!, simply because ALL these Dynamos when running as a Generator, they ALWAYS generate Positive at that Positive Isolated Brush, AS THE ROTATION DIRECTION IS ONLY DONE IN ONE WAY, TO GENERATE DC THIS WAY!!
IF YOU REVERSE THE ORIGINAL OEM ROTATION, THEN THE ELECTRICAL POLARITIES WILL ALSO BE REVERSED!!

NOW, ALL THESE DYNAMOS ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL POLARIZATION, BASED ON THE SAME ROTATION DIRECTION, WHETHER YOU RUN IT AS A GENERATOR OR AS A MOTOR!!

And I decided to make a short video where I demonstrate exactly what I have stated above:

******************************************

Now, getting back to the Lockridge Device Construction...

So, we need to add the Two Smaller-Angle Motor Brushes. And here try to set the New Positive Brush (Isolated) closer to the 180 Degrees Positive Brush (Dynamo OEM Brush).

Now let's check the Motor System...so, if you have the Gen Stators on, turn them off from any power at all, zero!!

So, let's power it up and make it run with the FOUR Brushes, then take measurements on the two Gen Brushes C & D.

These measurements MUST BE ALMOST IDENTICAL to our Input to Motor on Brushes A & B.

Meaning Brushes A & D Must be Positive as Brushes B & C Must be Negative, as the Voltage values should be almost identical, maybe a bit below on the 180 degrees brushes, due to coils and commutator-brushes resistance...but, again, not much difference!!

If they are NOT as described above, then check your wiring, your brushes pressures by spring, your contacts, your Rotation Direction, etc.

Hello All,

Ok here is a short video about identifying the Stators Magnetic Polarity:

Then I have drawn another CAD for this FORD Dynamo Spec's...and again, ALL this CAD Drawings are based on looking at Dynamo from the Brushes side, like I have explained on previous video.

Once that we know each stator magnetic polarity, then we can display the way Armature gets Magnetized or the Two Main Poles that Brushes 180 degrees plane divides.

So, here Armature is shaded in two halves, one Red (South) and the other Blue (North)

As here I will repeat what I said on video above...these two Armature Poles, or the Magnetic Field (comprehending both poles) DO NOT TURN AT ALL.

I am also showing BOTH BISECTORS for each pole at 90 degrees from brush plane.

And as you can see, there is absolutely no room to add a third stator...without MODIFYING both Stators.

Actually, for the Lockridge Device (either three or four stators) we need that TWO Stators -right next to each other's- embrace ONLY HALF ARMATURE...simple as that.

Both Stators can expand a bit over half armature...but not much.

Hello All,

Ok, on previous video I spoke about the Armature Windings...that on this specific Dynamo, it comprehends Six Core Elements.

And if you measure the ARC of these Six Elements, it is almost exact to the size of each Stator ARC.

Below is same CAD but now showing all armature coils comprehending Six Teeth or Elements.

And here I write that -no matter what "they say"- but, in order for our Lockridge Device to work perfectly well...we will need to also rewind the Armature.

We can do it exactly as it is done (same winding configuration) BUT comprehending exactly THREE (3) CORE ELEMENTS, instead of Six for each coil.

Why?...because we will be reducing each stator to exactly that Arc Size...or Three Elements Arc.

This is like winding an Armature for a Four Stator System...

We always need to leave at least two elements which will be "floating" or not being covered (embraced) by Stators.

Or we could also make it with Three Stators Full Configuration...and wind Armature comprehending Four Core Elements.

I will have to put these options on CAD and see which one works out better.

Cheers

A TWO POLE DYNAMO TORSION FIELDS

Hello All,

Ok, here I want to go over the Torsion Fields developing at my (OEM-NOT MODIFIED) FORD Dynamo (and actually ANY BRAND Dynamo that has TWO POLES) when RUNNING AS A MOTOR.
If you want to know "the basics" about Torsion Fields, starting from the simplest approach, then go to the FIRST TWO PAGES of :  The TORSION FIELD & EFFECTS
All other pages are just a discussion and interruptions about Magnets and Magnetic Fields...brought up by Rakarskiy and other members...that I did not clean it up and not continued posting.
However, the very "BASIC INFO" is on the Two First Pages.

So, above you can see Armature MAIN MAGNETIC FIELD, divided MAGNETIC POLARIZATION by the BRUSHES PLANE in two parts:

1- Half of Armature South (Red Right Half Circumference)
2- Half of Armature North (Blue Left Half Circumference)

As Stator S3 North (Blue) and Stator S2 South (Red)

Now, based on this configuration, when we apply power to the TWO Brushes as Positive to Brush D and Negative to Brush C, it generates the Armature Main Field as shown.

This generates FOUR TORSION FIELDS on ARMATURE that originates FOUR QUADRANTS, defined below.

Q1- Upper Left Quadrant is a REPULSION FIELD generated by Two North Poles, one the Stator S3 (North) and (Q1) North on Armature.
Q2- Lower Left Quadrant is an ATTRACTION FIELD generated by TWO Opposite Poles, or South Pole (S2) and North Pole developed at Q2.
Q3- Lower Right Quadrant is a REPULSION FIELD generated by Two South Poles, one by Stator S2 (South) and Q3 on Armature.
Q4- Upper Right Quadrant is an ATTRACTION FIELD generated by TWO Opposite Poles or S3 North and Q4 South on Armature.

Now, the interesting part of this Analysis, is that Armature Magnetic Field NEVER ROTATES AT ALL!!
Therefore, NONE of these FOUR QUADRANTS rotate nor moves at all.

Rotation takes place by a CONSTANT SEEK OF EACH COIL AND ITS RESPECTIVE PART OF STEEL CORE ON ARMATURE TO ACHIEVE A MAGNETIC BALANCE...which NEVER TAKES PLACE.

Each Coil on Armature Rotate with the same Electrical Polarization THEN the same Magnetic Polarization ONLY for HALF CIRCUMFERENCE, until it passes the BRUSH PLANE, then it REVERSES ELECTRICAL POLARIZATION AND THEREFORE MAGNETIC POLARIZATION.
So, if Coil was on under forces Q1 and Q2 NORTH, after it passes Brush Plane according to Rotation R (CCW) 180º, then it NOW BECOMES SOUTH, because it is under Q3 and Q4 SOUTH.
The same but OPPOSITE REVERSAL ACTION takes place of Coil(s) that were FIRST on Q3-Q4 and passes to Q1-Q2 according to Rotation.

****************************************************

Now, this info here -briefly and extracted explanation- I consider it is very important, when we are going to split this Dynamo in Two Parts, a Motor and a Generator.

As we will be using EXACTLY TWO Quadrants on Armature for the Motor side, as TWO Quadrants on Armature for the Generation side...as the Lockridge original design based on Four Stators.

or in the Three (3) Stator design we will only have Three Quadrants:

1- Two (2) Quadrants on Armature for Generation.
2- Only one (1) Quadrant on Armature for Motor.

EDIT 1: If you all noticed, Q1 and Q3 are REPULSION, while Q2 and Q4 are ATTRACTION, so they are set at a perfect DIAGONAL ALIGNMENT...as we can always move Brushes Plane to make it more towards Attract Mode or towards Repulse Mode, meaning to INCREASE JUST ONE MODE MORE THAN THE OTHER, WHETHER REPULSION or ATTRACTION.
Example: If we move CCW the Brush Plane, like 15º, we will have more Attraction Mode than Repulsion. Where if we move Brush Plane CW from Neutral (12 O'clock) it will increase the Repulsion Mode.
From Factory these Dynamos are ALL set at what I call "NEUTRAL TORSION FIELD" where all Quadrants' FORCES are perfectly distributed equally.
