Since he wants to spend money, anybody told him about Polywell?

In a magnetic motor, the idea of motor current and motor voltage do not apply. They are animated by permanent magnets, not electromagnets. The only required current is that for the switching coil. None of the energy in the switching coil returns directly from the output shaft. Think of it by analogy to the spark plug in your gasoline engine. The power of the spark has no effect on the power of the running engine. Likewise, the power of the switching coil has no effect on the power of the magnetic motor.MSimon wrote:Ah no back EMF? Are you serious? But OK. Suppose it is true? It gains you nothing except a motor that works at lower voltage for the same power out. But the current goes up in proportion as the voltage goes down. Because you can't beat ohm's law. Or energy conservation. And entropy increase.
And if all these fabulous motors work so well why not hook one to a generator give it a start and make a fortune selling electricity to the electric company?
Why isn't the Navy doing this for their big superconductor motors?
Ridiculous. Offer to sell a set amount of power to the power company at low rates, they will buy it. They need it, they will make a profit at it. Of course if something is consumed in your machine that makes the system stop after a while, then you can't sell a set amount of power. Maybe that is what is happening in such a system. Perhaps the "permanent" magnets aren't so permanent and some sort of energy locked in the material is being used up.Aero wrote:As for selling electricity to the electrical company, I don't think that's allowed except from designated equipment types (Solar). Anyway, I haven't gotten around to building a magnetic motor.MSimon wrote:And if all these fabulous motors work so well why not hook one to a generator give it a start and make a fortune selling electricity to the electric company?
Yeah. Sure. And the fact that electric and magnetic fields are duals does not apply either. There is a Nobel Prize awaiting as soon as some one important finds out.In a magnetic motor, the idea of motor current and motor voltage do not apply.

Rorschach himself would be proud.
It is simple: unless you need to save every ounce and milliwatt there is no point in designing a 10 KHz electric motor. Operating a modified 60 Hz motor from a switching supply is fine.General Motors just recently announced that they will invest $Billions in their own new electric motor manufacturing plant. I view that as a strong vote for the above and for other state of the art technology. Existing electric motor manufacturers are not up to state of the art. If they were, then there would be no profit margin for GM to hope to gain by building their own plant.
