Discussion about the Lockridge Device

[citfta]

Ufo,

Your comments about the fields on motor and generator side are correct.  And in addition to that let me remind everyone that when you weaken the field to speed up the armature you also weaken the torque.  If you were to try running the motor at low rpm with the field weakened you would see that you can easily stop the armature and see the armature current go very high.  The same thing will happen at higher rpms also but I wouldn't try that by hand because of the speed.

Take care,

Thanks Citfta,

I know we can make any motor rotate with only one field or half the housing and half the armature...whether PM or Coil Fields, it would be a bit "unbalanced" at low speed but once it reaches High speed, it will run smootly.

The issue here is to "neutralize" the other side of armature from motor brushes input, which side is not interacting with motor fields, and just be the "generating side".

Can we test this possibility with only Two Field Machine?

I believe so. We will just need to wire fields independently and NOT in series like they are connected from factory.

And if you pay attention to the way stators were wired on Lockridge...they were ALL running their wires independently and outside the housing.

Meaning that NONE of the Fields were connected in series between them (watch image below)

Then try to run motor with one side field and see if adding more power to other side field will alter motor function.

Of course, to do this successfully, we will need to "neutralize" the other side of armature, otherwise it WILL AFFECT motor.

I believe this is all that was done on the Lockridge Device...it was a half Motor and Half Generator...but they used the generated polarity set in order to neutralize half motor armature.

NEUTRALIZING THE ARMATURE FROM MOTOR ACTION

Hello All,

On previous posts I have been mentioning about "neutralizing the Armature from motor action"...and on this post I will go in detail about explaining how it is done.

First, I've made a Graphic, to make explanations easier:

And here it is...So, first a description of image:

1- Motor Side is on the LEFT of Image, brushes driving motor are A & B, and is divided by the RED POLY-LINE from each vertical slots, like the Lockridge had.

2- Generator Side is on the RIGHT of image, and its brushes are D & C..

And we all know that ALL Dynamos generate DC Currents, correct?...

Fine, so, all we need is to arrange the electrical generated polarization as shown on Brushes D & C or D being Positive and C Negative. And we can do that by playing with the MAGNETIC Polarizations of Fields S2 & S3.

And that is done by simply swapping the Generator Fields wire terminals...until we obtain the right magnetic arrangement. 

By doing this, we are "killing" the Motor side of armature that is on the side of Generator. It simply will not generate ANY power of magnetization on that side of armature, based on motor brushes input A & B.

The Electrical DC Forces from Generator side -Reflecting on its two brushes- would be OVERRIDING the Motor Armature on this side...and "hopefully" this generating side is GREATER than Input side to Motor...if it is not, it will not work.

NOW, Generator MUST BE LOADED at all times for this polarization to take place. (Light Bulbs on Lockridge).

@citfta...please correct me if my analysis here is somehow wrong...thanks!!

Hello All,

Playing with electric polarities on a commutator in order to reduce, amplify as neutralize interaction angles is something I have done before...it is not that "I just now invented it":

And the way it works is very simple...

Whenever you have the SAME Electrical Polarities through Two or more brushes, on a COMMUTATING SYSTEM, that Angle formed between two equal electric polarity signs will NOT generate any magnetization on Armature. (I call that: Neutralized Angle)

Of course, before I was using all electrical polarities coming from the same or common power source...while on the Lockridge device there are two different sources:

1- Motor Input to brushes.

2- Generated induced power on -the same- Motor Armature.

So, this will need to be tested...only Real Testing will tell if it works or not.

Hi Ufo,

Just a quick comment.  Everything is looking good so far.  I'll be gone for the next couple of days so I won't be able to comment any further until I get back.
