Discussion about the Lockridge Device

[Ufopolitics]

Hello All,

There was a while I wanted to post here, but I have been very busy...
Now I have a bit of a time...so here is my opinion related to the Lockridge Device.

First, I watched the whole Bedini's Video...and being very honest and blunt, besides admiring RIP John Bedini...and with all my due respect, in my opinion, his analysis and all working around of this device, were not done right and not deep enough in detail.
First thing we need to do is analyze the way Stators are distributed, which is what is completely different of any conventional Universal Motor that I have ever seen or Generator...

1-Green Line defines the two cut slots on outer housing, which are at 180º
2- Red V Lines define Angle between LARGER Stators, and goes from center of Housing to each Large Core.
3- Yellow V Lines define SMALLER Stator Coils Angle from center to each center of stators core.

Second, the way the Brushes are set, also, completely off, the way they normally work on any DC Universal Motor OR Generator.
1- Two Brushes are almost touching each other's, very close...after we spread the spring brackets all the way back.
2- Other Two Brushes are set at a wider Angle, however, not symmetrically set, related to Machine center housing or Stators.

The Armature (apparently, as they have said, had no modification), but just by "looking at it" it only falls into a "wild guess".
It required to be measured from different angles on commutator, more likely, the same angles that brushes are set on device...then powering armature and reading Fields Spreading limits.

Last thing would be to assemble motor and armature and try different points of powering armature using different combinations between all four brushes of Input the Positive and Negative terminals.
Finally, this is a completely Asymmetrical Machine, based on the way stators and brushes are aligned and forced to be set...as many diagrams should have been drawn related to Brush settings related to Stators and using different angles.

It requires enormous amount of work to first start by taking into an animated CAD basically the Stators, Armature and Brushes...the way is set...this is the more important part, IMHO.
Then later it comes all the outer components (peripherals), like the Inductor and the capacitor and lamps...

I believe that all this unusual and completely different components layout and structure, is where the mystery of replicating this machine successfully is centered at.

Hello again,
Now, here I will upload Four Videos of an Asymmetric Motor I designed and built (on My Asymmetric Electrodynamic Machines, on Energetic Forum) about 12 to 11 years ago...

PART 1- Starting to wind from an empty Armature:

PART 2

PART 3

PART 4...FINAL RUN TEST, POWERED BY 3 LITHIUM BATTERIES (11.2V Each)

As now you have an idea of how it is assembled from scratch...

However, this are based on Permanent Magnets on Stators...unfortunately, I never tried using Wound Stator Coils and Cores...my bad...but looking at the Lockridge, I have many new ideas of how this machine could have worked...

On these Videos I just put them here as reference...to -whenever I am done with Figuera Linear Tests- I will make a much deeper analysis about the Lockridge Device.

I believe this Machine (the Lockridge Device) is really fascinating...

My Design, outputs higher voltage than Input (DC)...however, there is some decay on amperage at output related to input...
However, all stators are Symmetrically aligned as are Brushes very different from Lockridge Device

And again, I have never seen any motor or generator that stators and brushes are set as this German machine was built.

1-Green Line defines the two cut slots on outer housing, which are at 180º
2- Red V Lines define Angle between smaller Stators, and goes from center of Housing to each Large Core.
3- Yellow V Lines define Larger Stator Coils Angle from center to each center of stators core.

Hello
I see positions 2 and 3 reversed because the stators are larger on the red line and vice versa for the yellow line
is this correct?

Hello big easy,
Yes, you are correct, my fault, a typo...

Hello All,

Here is an extended version (same video) but it allows a very good close up of brushes assembly, mounted on Housing.

Energy From The Vacuum : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

And like I have written before, there are many WRONG descriptions from RIP John Bedini on that video...and I really hate to do this!!, because I loved John and all his work...but for sake of understanding without any wrong concept for everyone, it is better to Explain everything correctly, from an Engineering point of view, basically having the expertise on Motors-Generators required to do so.

1- My disagreement starts with the First drawing that Bedini makes on the Green Board:

This is a COMPLETELY WRONG start!!

And is only on PDF that Peter Lindemann wrote ( Cover Page ), where we can see that clear image (IS NOT ON VIDEO):

As this Particular GEOMETRY is what OPENLY differentiates the Lockridge Device from any other SYMMETRICAL Motor EVER BUILT!!

2- Second are the Brushes INSTALLATION and SETTING, related to the Asymmetrical Stators Position...We can see clearly, that ALL Four Brushes are ASYMMETRICALLY SET!!

As it is understood, that IF Stators are Asymmetrically set, Brushes MUST BE ALSO, asymmetrically set!!

Later on, I will upload here a CAD reproduction of this brushes image, where I could "tilt" and get brushes to seat, where they go when we set them ALL Back, to meet Armature Commutator.

Now, for those who are not familiar, how Brushes are set, and work, related to the Magnetic Field on Stators, on a SIMPLE, 2 Brush, 2 Stator Motor, please, I HIGHLY recommend reviewing my Topic:

The TORSION FIELD & EFFECTS

This Topic contains a PRECIOUS LEARNING TOOL, (referring to a "VIRTUAL LEARNING TOOL") that will help you all a LOT, to understand how Brushed Motors work...And this knowledge is NOT TAUGHT on ANY UNIVERSITY or Engineering School anywhere in the World!!

However, John Bedini keeps insisting that because the brushes were not replaced and/or filed properly, they will cause Machine not to work...Then he keeps showing that Brush width is EXACTLY the size of a Commutator Bar...Yes, we saw that...

HOWEVER, it is completely NOT RELEVANT!!...NOT for the Machine to completely STOP giving OU Results...Yes, I agree that it could cause some DECAY in PERFORMANCE, and THAT IS IT!!

And basically, related to this Machine, we have exactly TWO BRUSHES, (On the BOTTOM of above Image) which are "Literally" almost "RUBBING" each other, because being SO CLOSE.

Therefore, YES, I AGREE, that these TWO Brushes need to be FILED like He has shown on video, to prevent from touching when riding on top of the Commutator.

Now, is we look at the image above, and just in our minds, we rotate these FOUR Brushes BACKWARDS, we will have EXACTLY A "Y" Arrangement, given the bottom of Y is where the two brushes are.

Like I wrote before, I will make a CAD Drawing, taking brushes backwards...

EDIT  1: Unfortunately, as John Bedini firmly said on that video...that He will NOT release that Notebook Images and writings, until they get a "Workable Machine"...that never took place...and now all those precious notes, plus the only existing replication of that Machine...is gone.

And honestly, from the Approach that Bedini has shown on that video...He will NEVER, would have get it to work as an OU Machine!
I have not watched the Lindemann explanation (Secrets of Electric Motors Part 2, I believe), however, I have read on that PDF linked above, that He goes through the BACK EMF road...which is also, kind of wrong.
