THE THREE STATOR LOCKRIDGE PROPOSAL

Important Note (Please read it):
This Project is intended for Members who have a fair knowledge of how Brushed Motors & Dynamo Generators (DC Output) works...so, please, avoid for me or other Moderators here to start deleting comments based on lack of knowledge of the related Fields, like for us to start "from scratch" now explaining everything you need to know to understand how this Machine works. We will NOT do that!!

However, I will try my best on my explanations for all to understand it clearly...

Thank You very much for understanding.

Hello All,

Ok, so here is the CAD Plans of this Machine.

Please note that on this Concept I am NOT MODIFYING THE ARMATURE AT ALL !!...It is just Stators setup Configuration and their MAGNETIC polarizations, according to rotation direction, AS to Favour (assisting) Motor from the generating side, once Output is LOADED.
If Generator is NOT LOADED, a Magnetic Field on Armature on the generator side WILL NOT BE CREATED. Then Motoring action will not be assisted, as currents will increase on Input.

This Machine is based on Three (3) Stators, where:

1- Stator S1 is solely dedicated for Motor Purpose.
2- Stators S2 & S3 are dedicated mainly, for Generator purpose, however, because of their magnetic polarization, they must ASSIST Motor rotation direction.

Motor Brushes setup:

1- Brushes A (+) & B (-) are Motor Brushes, they could be adjusted , but, trying to keep the same Angle shown (102º-103º)
On this specific drawing, they are set (based on blue arrow bisector) for Motor to spin CCW as the arc arrow R shows, as also related to Stator S1 Bisector.
So, basically this Motor is like a "one piston engine"...working on COMPRESSION (REPULSION)

Generator Brushes setup:

1- Generator brushes C (-) and D (+) are set at 180º apart. And this Brushes Electrical polarities MUST ALWAYS BE this way.
And once generator brushes are loaded, the Generated Magnetic Field on Armature must be South.

If Gen Brushes Electrical Polarities are not as shown, then we could swap the Stators S2 & S3 terminals to reverse their magnetic polarization.
HOWEVER, then we need to RE-ADJUST Motor Brushes (For Motor to turn CW) as shown on image below:

And as you can see, we have moved the Armature Blue Bisector above the Stator S1 Bisector (lighter blue dotted line, right at center of S1)...So, the REPULSION will now actuate in favor to a CW Throw Force Angle.

Now, on this setup:

We need FIRST, to test Both Sides (Motor and Generator) Magnetic Polarities at Armature and Stators INDEPENDENTLY, before starting this up!!

Hello All,

Ok, about previous Model of Three Stators, here is an Image just showing the Magnetic Interaction Angles determined by the Four Brushes amplitude:

On this image rotation is Clockwise (CW) as what dictates that direction are the Motor Brushes Bisector Angle, related to S1 (North Pole) Bisector at exact center of Stator (Light Blue Dotted Line).

However, this was explained on previous post as I do not have here the Armature Angle Bisectors now.

The point on this post is to be able to see the difference between both angles, blue and red, and the Motor Angle by being narrower than Red Generation Angle, it could draw higher currents.

So, we can always amplify this angle above their 102-103 degrees, as long as we calculate the motor blue bisector (center) is ABOVE the S1 Light Blue Bisector, to maintain the CW Rotation.

It is very obvious that the generation angle is going to be always wider (comprehending greater number of commutating elements than the motoring angle.

Then for every 360 degrees Cycle, there would always be at 180 degrees of generation versus 103-120 (if we increased to 120) degrees of motoring.

Also, it is very obvious that armature on the generating side will be always "crossing" a North-South Magnetic Field, from S2-S3 Stators...and this fact will increase this side generation of power.

And here is the most important side of this design, as many of you may have asked: why do we need an Opposite Magnetic Pole (on this case it is South/Red) on the Generating Side of Armature?

Simple, because on this case we are using a North Pole on the Motoring side, BUT there is ANOTHER OPPOSITE Motor Magnetic Polarity also generating on the Generator side, so, on this case it is South.

So, that is why we need that the Induced DC Generated Energy on Armature, ALSO, creates a South Pole on this side...In order that these TWO Opposite Poles Synchronizes and complement each other's.

Remember, Magnetic Poles here are just "relative terms" as it could also be that Motor run on a South Repulsion Pole (S1 being South, and Motor Armature side being also South) ...while the generating side then needs to be a North Pole.

Reason why I like using the term "opposite polarization to"...

On a final note: I have no idea how the BEMF will manifest here within Armature, once we get this running...it needs to be tested on reality.

A simple test would be to just apply power to ALL Three Stators (according to schematics and spin direction) ...NOT powering Motor Input!!...then to spin fast the belt pulley with a cord...while having a load (like light bulbs) connected to generator output brushes...As I will also add a small but high-capacity Electrolytic Cap on generator side...

Hello UFO!

The anchor may generate, but only part of the anchor winding. You can also connect the source (part of the winding) in series with the common anchor circuit. In some places, generation, in others, the creation of a magnetic flux in the anchor core and stator shoes. A light bulb is connected in series as a load. In my opinion, this is the only thing that can be used for conversion from a Lockridge DC generator.

Earlier, collecting information about similar devices from Germany, I have three episodes:

First: Lockridge conversion from a BOSCH DC generator. (Only the anchor that Bedini had is in question, and the stator does not reveal the essence of the solution).

Second: the one that was seen by a veteran of the Second World War, who saw a self-rotating source reminiscent of an UMFORMER or Tesla Dynamo. The materials, as well as the source itself, were confiscated by the political counterintelligence of the USSR in 1945. No one believed him, everyone took him for the whims of an old man, but respected him because he was a local inventor of various electrical devices.

Third: only from the words of an informant who told a sad story about how in the mid-80s a veteran of the Second World War from the USSR confessed on his deathbed to his relatives that in 1945 he was brought in as a specialist (electrical engineer) to drive two single-seater submarines on electric traction from an underground dock. He directly shouted that the electric generator in the boat rotated itself without external force. The USSR special services took a non-disclosure agreement from him, and only on his deathbed did he voice this to his relatives. Naturally, no one believed him and took it for the fantasies of a dying old man. Unfortunately, the old man did not specify any details.

---------
The second and third episodes probably had a double winding on the anchor (motor and generator), this overlaps with the design of Robert Alexander (USA) and possibly Leonid Stovbunenko (USSR). Both demonstrated an electric car that does not discharge the battery while driving. What happened to Alexander, I do not know, and all of Stovbunenko's inventions were classified in the USSR.

Hello Rakarskiy,

And thanks for your comment!

You mean "Armature" where you wrote "Anchor"...I assume bad Google translation.

Hello UFO!

The Armature may generate, but only part of the anchor winding. You can also connect the source (part of the winding) in series with the common armature circuit. In some places, generation, in others, the creation of a magnetic flux in the armature core and stator shoes. A light bulb is connected in series as a load. In my opinion, this is the only thing that can be used for conversion from a Lockridge DC generator.

Now, on the design I have shown above, the Motor and Generator Brushes are connected in PARALLEL, if you have noticed that.
Meaning, Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative, as they "connect" through the armature coils which are not being energized and just serve as conductors.

This design allows the electrical flow on the Armature-Brushes, to be either from one side (Motor) to the other (Generator) and vice versa.

Now once the Generating side becomes higher than Motor side (because it reaches operating speed) then it will take over the Motor side.

And then the only way this exchange could be "regulated" is through the currents that are allowed to the Three Stators.

On this part, remember that Bedini's shown Lockridge Device had Three Trifilar Inducting Coils, wrapped around outer frame on a yellow wrapping?

So, Three Trifilar Coils had a total of Six Terminals (two for each coil) and here we could control a back-and-forth inductor circuit between all three stators.

We could had one larger Inductor coil (higher resistance lesser currents) for Motor Stator (S1) as shorter wire coil for Generator, this will allow currents on the generating side stators S2 & S3 to be higher, while for Motor would be lesser currents. All Three Inductors connected within a closed circuit with Stators.

But all this (Three External Inductors) could come later, as before we need to run device starting from both sides (motor and generator) and reading output:

1- Running just as a Dynamo, by connecting the drive pulley to a Motor through a belt.

2- Exciting the Motor Circuit by adding DC power to brushes A & B, then reading brushes C & D Output.

We could have Motor Stator (S1) powered by a separate source than S2 & S3, which could be in series. Then Motor Source will regulate-control motor speed.

The second and third episodes probably had a double winding on the anchor (motor and generator), this overlaps with the design of Robert Alexander (USA) and possibly Leonid Stovbunenko (USSR). Both demonstrated an electric car that does not discharge the battery while driving. What happened to Alexander, I do not know, and all of Stovbunenko's inventions were classified in the USSR.

Yes, I am very familiar with Alexander Patent, as it was cited several times while I was disclosing My Asymmetric Electrodynamic Machines on Energetic Forum...they were trying to compare it to my design.

This is a completely different device as Lockridge or the Original German BOSCH Dynamo was...

First, it Outputs AC and gets DC for Input...as it has Dual Commutators and Dual Windings on Armature...but no OU here, it is just a "Converter" that keeps the known "balanced I/O" of V&A.

Look at image below...it is the same concept, but "Made in Germany" during the War:

You can clearly read the Input versus Output.

It Inputs 12V and 7.5A-1.2A, then it Outputs 330V at 0.140 Amps (90W In/46W Out, calculating for Max Amps at Input, or 7.5A) And I guess it will "compensate" whenever reaching operating speed and it could be "half way" between 7.5 to 1.2A or anywhere around 4.0A...still not OU here.

I meant the anchor. Yes I know that Alexander applied a different principle. I just gave examples of self-propelled machines from 1945 (Germany) and examples from the second half of the 20th century that I know (the list is not complete).

About the parallel windings of a standard armature? I'm not sure, as the reason is the resistances.  Although if we assume series connection of armature windings (motor) and excitation shoe windings (solenoids) + armature windings (generator), there may well be a parallel connection. The only question is how to divide the ring armature winding system into two separate windings at the moment of connection of the brushes on the collector.  In the case of parallel connection at the moment of load connection, there should be an increase in the current in the windings, this can only be achieved by increasing the resulting EMF. Thus the current in the windings must increase the magnetisation. In parallel connection there will be a drop of EMF to the resultant voltage and current (if there is a battery this is easily solved. I never found out if the Lockridge alternator could run without a starting/ballast battery.

These labyrinths of Ohm's law and EMF generation need to be dealt with very seriously. Perhaps the solution is in plain sight.  I'll point out again, if the armature winding is hidden in the slot, it works to magnetise the poles and generate EMF in a different way to the outer winding used in late 19th century dynamos. When you plan the poles of the armature core from the current in the winding (like a solenoid with a core), but the generator one is probably not correct. Magnetic flux cannot reach the armature wires to generate, as always the magnetic induction lines of force will short out through the armature of the core, bypassing the wires themselves.
