Discussion about the Lockridge Device

[Ufopolitics]

Hello All,

I have been away for a couple of days doing some work on a zone where no internet signal was available...but I am back for now.

So, continuing from my previous post:  Discussion about the Lockridge Device - Page 21

Now I will be presenting the same configuration, but based on my FORD Dynamo, of which I also have uploaded some testing videos on previous posts.

Now, this Dynamo comes from factory (OEM) with the Generator Brushes set as per Hawkins Book Vol. 2, names the 'Normal Plane of Maximum Induction:

On this Dynamo, the Positive Brush is at the side 'exact Center´ of the North Stator as seen on above image, as Negative Brush is at 180º apart, on the South Stator.

I already took apart this Dynamo and verified the Magnetic Polarity of BOTH Stators, as I also uploaded a video related to that operation. So, Brush "C" is attached to Negative Ground.

When I ROTATE Counterclockwise (CCW) this Dynamo, it generates Positive from the Positive Brush...as Negative on ground. As here I am using both Brushes as Output that delivers DC Currents.

Now, the Magnetic Poles shown on Armature, or SOUTH (RED SHADED AREA) on TOP Hemisphere as NORTH (BLUE SHADED AREA) on BOTTOM Hemisphere, were also taken from the Hawkins Book, Vol 2, except that on the book image they are rotating Dynamo CW. (Assuming that their view is also from the brushes side)...As whenever we reverse rotation on ANY Dynamo (from the OEM Spec´s) the DC Output will also be reversed, as -by common sense-the magnetic polarization will also reverse, so on book, it shows a "N" Pole on top at 12 O'clock when rotated CW, as on this image above rotating at CCW it will generate a "S" Pole on top.

And again, repeating what I wrote on post cited link on the beginning...:

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I SET THE BRUSHES PLANE ON A DYNAMO RUNNING AS A GENERATOR, IT WILL NOT, REPEAT, WILL NOT AFFECT THE ARMATURE DISPLAYED FIELD ABOVE.
THIS FIELD POLARIZATION ON ARMATURE, IS GENERATED FROM THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION WHEN GENERATOR IS LOADED AND IS OFFERING AN OPPOSING FORCE (REVERSE TORQUE, LENZ LAW, ETC) TO THE GIVEN ROTATION...THIS FIELD POLARIZATION PREVAILS.

On a separate note, it is only "common sense" after you read and see Image BELOW, ON A DYNAMO AS A MOTOR, to clearly understand that if the Armature Polarization would be REVERSED from the ABOVE Image, then ALL DYNAMOS WOULD BE "SELF RUNNERS" since they were originally invented...AS THERE WILL NEVER BE AN OPPOSING FORCE!!

BUT, THIS IS FALSE...there is ALWAYS AN OPPOSING FORCE whenever we generate Energy with ANY GENERATOR -AS OF NOW- IN THE WORLD!!

Actually, on the book it emphasizes that the best "sparkless commutation" takes place ADVANCING THE BRUSH PLANE, following Rotation Direction...so, on this FORD Dynamo the Brush Plane would be better set by slightly rotating Brush Plane around 30-45 degrees CCW from the Neutral Plane of Max Induction, because of "Field Disturbances" which moves this Normal Plane of Max Induction to the End-Lower Tip of South Stator, moving also on the rotation direction.

But for sake of simplicity, I WILL LEAVE BRUSH PLANE AS SET BY FACTORY (OEM) for all following analysis.

Now, the same FORD Dynamo ran as a Motor...:

So, this same Dynamo, when I applied DC Positive through the Positive Brush as Negative to Ground...it rotates as a Motor on the same direction (CCW) as it was checked as a Dynamo generating DC Currents..

And here -based on my expertise with DC Brushed Motors- the ONLY WAY, this Motor will spin CCW, based on this Stator Configuration PLUS the Brush Plane settings, is by having a NORTH Pole on the upper Hemisphere of Armature, as a SOUTH on the lower Hemisphere of Armature, as seen on image.

Now the BISECTOR of BOTH ARMATURE FIELD POLES is the Normal Neutral Plane, which EXACTLY DIVIDES BOTH ARMATURE POLES IN HALF.
As the STATORS BISECTOR is the Normal Plane of Max. Induction (green line).

So, this is very easy to identify -In Magnetic Geometry- how the Magnetic Poles are going to SEEK EQUILIBRIUM, or a PERFECT ALIGNMENT OF BOTH BISECTORS.

So, based that the MOVING COMPONENT THAT CARRIES ONE OF THE TWO FIELDS is the Armature, once that all coils and cores are instantly magnetized according to Image above, those groups of coils are going to seek for an alignment with the STATIC FIELD...and that could ONLY BE through a CCW ROTATION.

Other words (or a layman terms) is that the Upper Armature North is going to seek FULL ALIGNMENT WITH SOUTH STATOR, while the LOWER SOUTH HEMISPHERE is going to seek FULL ALIGNMENT WITH THE NORTH STATOR ON THE RIGHT of Image...

And, like I have repeated here multiple times...those Two Poles on Armature NEVER ROTATE, just each group of Coils -from BOTH SIDES- as they get magnetized carry the core section mass of Armature and causes rotation...however, thanks to commutation, all these coils keep reversing their polarity as they PASS the BRUSHES PLANE.

THIS POST IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND, BEFORE I PROCEED TO THE NEXT POST, THAT WOULD BE RELATED TO A VERY SIMPLE APPROACH OF HOW -I THINK- THE VERY BASIC PRINCIPLE OF LOCKRIDGE DEVICE WORKS!!!

A SIMPLE PROPOSAL TEST, TO MAKE ON A TWO POLE (TWO STATORS) DYNAMO

(BUILDING METHOD)

Hello All,

After reviewing over and over Dynamo´s, principles and operation in some old books, like Hawkins plus others I have on "hard copy", I have come up with making a very simple test, since it does not require any major transformations on the Stators and housing...and it all relates basically on adding a couple of brushes...and some coarse jumper wires...

So, here is the Main CAD Diagram (where all the basic principle of construction is) as I conceive it:

The "basic" OEM Dynamo I am posting here is like my FORD type...which is what I have now...However, the test could also be done on ANY other brand name, like GM (Delco-Remy) or any other Dynamo like also a BOSCH type.

As long as their original two brushes are set as I am posting here...or on the Normal Plane of Max Induction (green line), as that you verify that positive brush is set on the NORTH Stator Pole...this is not a big issue since you could just reverse (switch) the stator coil terminal wires electric polarity. (for reference on how to identify this, please see my previous videos posted on this Topic about my FORD Dynamo).

In order that when you rotate by hand this Dynamo Counterclockwise (CCW) (looking from the Brush Cap side) or clockwise (CW) when looking from shaft side, Dynamo generates a Positive value on the Positive Brush, with a Voltmeter connected to both brushes, and positive probe goes to Positive Brush and Negative to ground (in the case that you Dynamo is a Negative Ground design.

The Original Brushes that came on Dynamo (as described above) would be used as the Generating side brushes (C & D).

Then add Two more Brushes (A & B) that will be our Motoring side, these two brushes must be around the same configuration -in thickness- as the Generator side (for now).

Motor Brushes must be aligned in a perfect straight line across (Motor Brush Plane), and the Angle Alignment of this Motor Brush Plane will be dictated by its BISECTOR for BOTH POLES (Motor Field Poles Bisector)

These TWO BISECTORS are aligned into a perfect SINGLE line, which is EXACTLY at 90º from Motor Brush Plane.

You will have to make a paper pattern with these two lines (Motor Brush Plane and Motor Bisector line) at 90º and open a center hole on the paper (where small circle is set on drawing) to mount it on shaft, and it will serve as a guide for setting up your brushes.

MORE IMPORTANT NOW, are the settings of your Brushes Bisector Line, before you mount this Motor Brushes, you MUST set Bisector Line to PASS the STATORS STRAIGHT LINE (NEUTRAL PLANE OF MAX. INDUCTION), like shown on image above.

I gave on image above a "Range" of Degrees to set this Bisector Red Line and then the Brushes Mounting...which is from 5º to 15º... HOWEVER, THE SHORTER THIS ANGLE IS (Closer to the Green Line), the MORE POWER your Motor will have, basically referring to Torque.
An ideal way is that you could rotate these two motor brushes at least a 10º.

But again, this depends on your brush cap design, and enough room to mount the Motor brushes properly.

Then you add the TWO JUMPERS as shown on CAD, which I highly recommend using the thicker wire you have available!!

So, JUMPER 1 (Negative) goes from Generator Brush C to Motor Brush B (Black)

And JUMPER 2 (Positive) goes from Generator Brush D to Motor Brush A (Red)

These two jumpers being of thicker wires, will cause that currents generated will "choose" this path of lower resistance, instead of traveling through the Armature Coils set in between the two brushes.

You could run a "verify test 1", after all are connected and mounted, that when adding DC power to both Jumpers AS SET, or NEGATIVE to JUMPER 1 and POSITIVE to JUMPER 2, that Dynamo runs in the Direction of Rotation indicated or CCW, looking from Brushes Cap side.

Now, do NOT expect anything out of the ordinary to take place with this first test...as this is just to verify your connections and Angles are all correct.

This Machine is supposed to be tested by rotating Dynamo with an external driver...a small electric motor...or you could also run another "verification test 2", where you spin FAST AND STRONG this Dynamo by the pulley with a cord, while reading the current output on the two jumpers...and you could also connect it to a Scope to see the Output Signal...

OF COURSE ALL DYNAMO ROTATING TESTS EITHER BY HAND OR BY EXTERNAL DRIVE, JUMPERS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A LOAD!!

Otherwise, no generating Field on Armature will be developed.

TWO POLE DYNAMO TEST (PART 2 & 3)

Hello again,

On this post I will explain what I am trying to achieve...from the simplest way to build this device.

Previously I have shown the following image where OEM FORD Dynamo is LOADED and ROTATING (by an External Source), generating an opposed Field to the Counterclockwise Rotation on Armature.

And on image below is just the MOTOR ARMATURE FIELD displayed, when Motor Brushes A & B are powered:

Now, please, try to "visualize" in your minds BOTH IMAGES, one over the other (Over imposed), as imagine both are Semi-Transparent...

And not to complicate much the overlapping visualization of both images, please concentrate ONLY on the South (Red) Semi-Circumference from the two images.

And then you will realize that Motor South Pole is ADVANCING on the Rotation Direction as an Angle-Timing to Generator South Pole in about 105º (90º from Motor Bisector South Quadrant + 15º for Timing Advance from Neutral Plane of Max. Induction [green line])

And that was considering that the Bisector Advance Angle is at the Max Range between 5º to 15º.

So, more or less the resultant image that you visualized may looks like image below, where I just displayed the Upper South (Red) Generator Pole, between Brushes C-D, for sake of simplicity, but remember there is also a North (Blue) below not shown here, but on First Image on this Post:

And of course, whenever you set red over blue in optics as on some physical Tints, the resultant color is Purple, and that shows on the Right Upper Quadrant, where Dynamo South (Red) is mixed with Blue North from Motor. However, this Purple Quadrant is completely DEFINED into a NORTH FULL Pole simply because it is in between two opposite electrical charges, on the same fashion, where it originates a North. Even more defined into a North, when we install the Positive Jumper 2.

The Upper Left Quadrant is Darker Red, resulting from Two Red South Fields added, or overlapping from Motor and Generator. However there should NOT be any Field developed there as is in between two equal electric charges...and much less, once the Jumpers are installed, a similar situation takes place between Right Lower Quadrant, which is in between two Positive charged brushes, as also gets the Jumper installed.

And Left Lower Quadrant being just "pure" Motor South (Red) Armature Field Advance Angle.

I believe this is a very smooth way to combine or "fuse" the Two Existing Magnetic Fields on this Device (Stator-Armature), which have a total of Four (4) Poles.

Point is that Motor will assist Generator Rotation at every coil advance when armature starts rotation.

Again, I may be adding more or correcting some possible errors I have on this post tomorrow...

FINAL CONCLUSION ABOUT TEST (PART 4, FINAL)

Hello All,

Ok, so I have cleaned all other "stuff" on previous graphics in order to leave the basic motor operation and resume the function of this device...However, the Dynamo Generating Field with Top South as Low North divided by the green line IS STILL PRESENT (This Field is NOT DEFINED by Brushes C & D) ...Remember that no matter where you set the output brushes this Field Opposing Rotation will keep developing on the same place except for magnetic distortions following the Higher Speed Rotation.

HERE IS SHOWN THE BASIC RESULTING* MOTOR FIELD (WITH ITS TWO RESPECTIVE POLARIZATIONS, NORTH AND SOUTH) DEFINED AFTER JUMPERS ARE CONNECTED.
* "Resulting" Motor Field, because the FULL Motor Field extends through Brushes A to B, as here because of jumpers and also being electric output charges coming out from Brushes C and D, this REDUCES the Motor Field Angle.

Therefore, this is the basic Motor ADVANCE TIMING ANGLE, that favors Generator Rotation (CCW), where each Pole have approximately an extended angle from 95º to 105º from the Neutral Plane of Max. Induction (green line) to the Motor Brush Plane, and depends on your chosen Advance Angle from Motor Bisector, whether of 5º or 15º ...or more, which is added to the 90º given by the Motor Brush Plane and its Bisector.

Here the Two Jumpers made of coarse wire act like a very wide brush without the friction with commutator, just the start and end brushes define this Angle.
These Two Jumpers I have it connected here to an Electrolytic Capacitor, where the spec´s would be given by the Load and Total Output.

FINAL NOTE: According to all I have put together here, about this two Poles Dynamo Test, should give us an idea if we are going on a correct path or not...As I honestly have no idea if this design will show an advantage to Dynamo Rotation under load, so, it must be built and tested in reality.
However, all my calculation plus analysis tells me, it should work in our advantage...maybe we have to make some minor adjustments...but for bettering the final "touch result".

After building it, many tests need to be done from all possible angles...like with or without jumpers, with or without e-cap... powering each individual System separately from Motor and Generator side...etc.
After all, it is not that much work to "build" this Two Dynamo Test, by just adding two brushes and a pair of heavy jumpers...
Without the jumpers, there will still be a connection from Negative to Negative, as from Positive to Positive Brushes, using the comprehended coils on Armature on those specific segments:

EDIT 1: And lastly, above is the same image BUT without the Jumpers, and as I have explained above image, there will still be an Internal Armature Connection between Negative Brushes and Positive Brushes of Motor-Generator. Except we will NOT BE FORCING the connection through thick wires. 

So, yes, I will be making this Test, whenever I have the time to...

Hello All,

Here is an image of my FORD Dynamo Brush Cap, from underneath, so, PLEASE realize it is like LOOKING FROM PULLEY SIDE (Front Shaft) ...so here it shows a Clockwise Rotation.
Other thing is that there is also a minimal Camera deviation, due that I had an LED Lamp right on top of cap, so I could not get the camera lens perfectly aligned at Dead Center.

Now, two things here:

1- That the Dynamo Two Brushes Plane IS NOT fully aligned at 90º with Normal Neutral Plane (Red VERTICAL Line) as you could see. The deviation is minimal, somewhere around 5º, BUT IT DOES HAS a Deviation.

2- I realize that if I use the two brushes from second Dynamo, in order to have room, I will need to move this OEM Brush settings allowing room for other two brushes. That is not a big deal since I will move OEM Brushes in a straight 180º but CCW to this View, where is rotating CW. Point is to set Dynamo Brushes FURTHER AWAY to the other extreme from MAGNETIC DISTORTIONS which take place following Rotation (CW).
Other words, is just to move Dynamo Brushes NOT on the 5 degrees shown deviation, but opposite and of course more than 5 degrees, almost to the lower tip of Blue Stator and Right Top of Red Stator, that's the angle to go.

The other brush issue is that if I use the Negative (Ground) Brush from other Dynamo...then both Negative Brushes would be GROUNDED, meaning "JUMPED" by force through the Dynamo steel housing...and I do not want that...I want to have Motor Brushes to "communicate" with Dynamo (Generator) Brushes either through thick jumpers or through Armature Coils. So, NEGATIVE Motor Brush MUST BE INSULATED ALSO from ground, just like the Positive Brush is.
Not a big deal either, as all I need is to add in the new set hole an insulating Grommet (type of hollow cylinder) that a bolt runs through plus a flat insulator like Positive Brush.
