Quote from: Classic on Nov 17, 2024, 04:46 AMI have another question: if we have an incomplete device which we know was working in selfsustainig mode but we are unable to find the missing parts in order to make it working again, what is the point to make a NEW design which we think will work in the same way as the original one while we are unable to explain how it work in the first place ?

@Classic 

To start clearing up your comment above...first, We do not have "the device" (at least I don't, you don't, they (Bedini & Lindemann) had it...however, they both had ALL the annotations and NEVER gave them to the Public Domain, as an "Open-Source Community" they have claimed they were part off...even though they did not succeed in making a working model, after many years of trying to do it.

We only have what they have shown, on a very superficial and weak reasoning and analyzing video (read my first post here).
Now, the MAIN COMPONENT of this Device is what they have shown, a MAIN HOUSING for a MOTOR and Generator working together, and that, simply is the HEART of this device.

ALL other components are simply what I call "Peripherals", and they are NOT essential to get this Machine running...to get it to "self-run" yes...but we can do that after we build a device which is capable to generate MORE than we Input.

Then it is all about finding the right Capacitors and Inductors values to maintain machine to keep the cycle running in a loop.

BUT, you need the EXPERTISE to be able to find the right way this HEART needs to "PUMP" in order that output exceeds input...

BUT You MUST KNOW, FIRST THAN ALL, how to BUILD A MOTOR AND GENERATOR FROM SCRATCH, FROM JUST PAPER AND PENCIL...

I am NOT making "New Designs" about Lockridge.
I am making -ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE- a PATH or many POSSIBILITIES, of how this Device "should" work.

Then I ask you now a question:  Would you be able to do what I am doing here?

Because IF YOU DO, then I will leave you HERE to teach us all, how to PROPERLY DEVELOP this Device...and I will just seat back, relax and watch you do it!!

What I find radically non sensical, is to start conceiving this device by building FIRST, all the peripherals shown...like the capacitor with copper sheets in between "Butcher Paper" and the Trifilar Three Coils wrapped around motor...

Quote from: Classic on Nov 17, 2024, 04:46 AMI do not consider myself better then any inventor when I try to replicate something and I do not try to improve the original design unless I know how is working and I can prove with a working model also being able to explain the difference between my design and original design. But, if my design do not work I can't blame the inventor so, I need to stick with whatever I have been given.

Your "experience and knowledge" about Motors and Generators is simply ZERO. So, you are the LEAST QUALIFIED to criticize HERE, the work I have posted previously!!

You need to start FIRST, by reading posts here, written by experienced people -WITHOUT CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTING- THEN LEARN MORE about all different FIELDS exposed here!!

The HUGE DIFFERENCE between You and me, is that you have absolutely no idea about slightly interpreting the graphics I have posted here.

But, hey, there you are, INTERRUPTING and CRITICIZING Topics back and forth, no matter if you have or you don't have the CAPABILITY AND EXPERIENCE TO DO SO!!

Quote from: Classic on Nov 17, 2024, 04:46 AMI am not afraid to be stupid and ask silly questions acknowledging my limitations or lack of understanding. If anyone wants to call me stupid that's it ... I prefer this way rather then pretend to be smart and unable to replicate something which might be very easy or extremely difficult for me or third party.

If you would have only read my first posts here...if you would have just "search me" on my YT Channel...then know what I am capable of developing...you wouldn't be asking this stupid questions.

I think your "ATTITUDE" is the worst part you have...to DARE to criticize, interrupt, (no matter what) when you have absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE, LESS THE EXPERTISE REQUIRED, to interrupt ANY Topic, with your "LACK OF BASIC KNOWLEDGE TO CONDUCT YOUR CRITICISM".

I could have just "click" your post here and is gone!!...but I rather answer, calmly, to your "INSISTING INTERRUPTIONS"...So that all People following this Topic here...read my answer.

Again, I believe what you do have a LOT, and IN EXCESS, is very high doses of AUDACITY!!

However, -and believe me- it is NOT smart of you, to use it here...

Hello All,

Ok, so I got one of the Ford Dynamo that I have ordered...

And here is a short video where I am running it as a Motor, AS IS (OEM)... meaning, no modifications of any kind.

It has Two Fields connected in SERIES with the Brushes, one brush is to ground, and one field terminal is also to ground, and that is how they both connect (armature-fields)

So, by applying Positive to insulated brush and negative to insulated field terminal, I get it to run as a motor:


And as you saw on video, this Dynamo, when we get it to run as a Motor...is what we typically call an "Amp Hog"...

So, whet I am trying to state here -and like I have said on video- I maybe wrong...but in the "common sense world" it is completely absurd, having a machine where its motoring circuit runs at such high energy consumption.

On video you see when I applied 30V it consumes 7 Amps...that is 210 Watts, and motor was going like 2000 RPM's!! and the Lockridge Device output was 300 Watts/5000 RPM's?

How many more volts and Amps do we need to add for motor to spin at 5000 RPM's?

And again, it is just my opinion, but after doing this test, I am now more on the idea that the Lockridge Device's Armature was modified from its original winding.

That is just my opinion...

Hi Ufo,

Accordiing to your video the field winding resistance is 3 ohms.  So if you apply 12 volts to just the field coil it should draw 4 amps.  That would give you full field power plus a little more since the original design is for 7 volts.

Then if you apply power only to the armature you might get a better idea of what kind of speed the armature is capable of.  Also when you get it up to speed you could try reducing the field power and see if the armature speeds up more like a normal DC mototr.  You might get up to some pretty high speed that way.

Separate control of armature and field gives you some more options for checking things out.

Respectfully,
Carroll

Thanks, Citfta,

Yes, I remember when you mentioned that about driving the fields on a separate circuit and driving down power will increase armature speed...

But remember I have mentioned armature resistance is zero ohms...which is a full short...No?

Wouldn't this cause to get amps sky high and spark or damage commutators?

Even though I will start with a very low voltage to armature first...then see what happens.

Thanks

If you recall I said that you only reduce field power after the armature is up to speed so that it is generating back EMF from the armature passinng the energized field coils.  Then you can slowly reduce the field power and watch the armature speed up.  Never take the field power to less than 50% of it's normal rated power.  In other words in your case I wouldn't reduce the input to the field to any less than 4 volts or so.  But again only reduce the field AFTER the armature is up to full speed with full power to the field.

Hoping to see a video soon of you trying that.

Take care,
Carroll
