The 19th Century Manchester Bipolar DC Dynamo

[Ufopolitics]

Hello to All,

I do have the conviction, that this specific Manchester Dynamo Machine, somehow, trigger Figuera imagination to Reverse Engineer, plus Decompose it, in all its components, to later on conceive the complete eradication of the external mechanical movement required on this type of Dynamo's from the 19th Century...(and up to now on all modern generators)

And it is basically for its SIMPLICITY in construction and components, plus the fact that it was the first one that was able to "SELF FEED ITS EXCITER SYSTEM" and still achieve Industrial Generation of Energy, which it was superior on its time to the older Edison type. So, these Machines only required a Battery to start it (exactly the same as your gas vehicle does now)...and after gaining the operational speed, battery was disconnected...to self-run.

The other main difference about this specific machine, was its Magnetic Circuit at the Stator...where it had Two "Hefty" Main Cylindrical Coils in Parallel Polarity...so that Four Total Magnetic Poles were generated with smaller size coils cores than other types. This advantage FORCED each pair of Poles, on Top and Two on bottom, to direct ALL Flux into its very center, where its Rotor Armature Assembly was located.

For all those reasons above, I will dedicate time to also decompose it in all main components to try and see, what Figuera saw...with the help of our modern Matrix Decomposing 3D Software's, where we can even animate it to run in all axes, even in "3D exploded view"...isn't that great?

Another aspect related to this machine that is still pending to research, is ...How it was able to SELF FEED ITS EXCITING SYSTEM?

If we recall, back in those times, the "Running Generator's Capacitors", Diodes and Varistors, required nowadays for self-exciter systems in Brush or Brushless Generators...were not invented yet?!

People, we still have tons of work ahead of us...

Green-painted 'Manchester' dynamo generator. Made in Salford by Mather & Platt Ltd in Salford in 1886

By the 1880s, electric lighting was the must-have innovation for any self-respecting town. Giants of electricity Tesla, Edison and Westinghouse fought a battle of the currents over the safe transmission of high voltage electricity from power station to customer.

Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti built the world's first central power station at Deptford. He used alternating current (AC) to power London. Whereas in Manchester, engineer Dr John Hopkinson chose direct current (DC) to deliver electricity to customers.

In 1882, Mather & Platt won an exclusive license to manufacture Thomas Edison's DC generator, the Edison Dynamo. A dynamo is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical power.

John Hopkinson tested the Edison dynamos at Mather & Platt's Salford Ironworks. Hopkinson improved Edison's design, creating the Edison-Hopkinson Dynamo. In doing so, he introduced major innovations, reducing size, increasing output and improving efficiency.

Hopkinson and his brothers went on to develop the Manchester dynamo. It was based on the first commercially successful electrical power generator, the Gramme dynamo. The Manchester design created a more intense magnetic field. This meant that electricity could be generated at a higher output and more efficiently. Its main use was in textile mills.

An Edison Bipolar Dynamo, built on the late 1890's...restored and running as a Motor on the EPFH Museum...

I just uploaded the video to see it closely, testing it running, and able to see Real Dimensions...

Please note the big difference with the Manchester Machine...related to Magnetic Poles Coils Distribution on the Stator and positioning of the Rotor Armature...this Edison Bipolar, that came Four (4) Years after Manchester Dynamo was built.

So, it is very obvious to the expert eyes, that Edison was still hooked on the Horseshoe Magnetic Structure, rather than Parallel Electromagnets with same poles top and bottom and Armature-Rotor on the dead center, like the Manchester had.

Hello to All,

Here is a "Monster Generator" on its time (1880)...A Thomson 30 Kw 110VDC...Special feature is its "Spherical" Armature...a heavy machine!!

But on video it is interesting info on the running Amps on Stators versus Armature...please note the heavy, coarse, gauge of its armature wires...

Regards
