I had one of those levitating desk toys growing up. Mine had LEDs built in that were driven by the spinning of the toy, so it never needed batteries and would illuminate with bright red stripes when spun. The setup you've engineered is pretty awesome!

For those wondering: the alternate current after passing by the bridge rectification will come out as "waves" of positive energy. Those waves are not exactely direct current because it has valleys. Tha'ts what the capacitor is for: storing enought energy to fill the valeys in the time btween waves from the bridge, creating a proper direct and stable positive current.

Nice

True but it is however exactly direct current. As long as the current doesnt reverse its always direct. No matter how deep the valleys or how high the tops as long as its not crossing the 0V line its always DC.

@Monkey D. Luffy I’d guess it can’t because water is too inert, and under normal circumstances the phosphorus has not enough energy available that could break the covalent bond of the water molecule and free the oxygen.

I wish this video was available, when I studied electrical engineering. It would have made understanding the concept a lot easier. This is hands down the best explanation of how a full bridge rectifier works, I've have seen.

One of the things I've learned is that nearly all the work done by the fly wheel is from the mass at the outer edge. You could cut away much of the inner mass and still be good. As far as replacing the shaft, try cutting it off and drilling it out. Most drive shafts aren't force fit. Try a design where the tolerance is such that it's locked in by a set screw or a key.

I cannot express how inspiring this video has been. I’m curious if you ever measured the power you could get out of the generator for a given flywheel rotational speed. It would be great to see you take some measurements (volts, amps, rpm) and then optimize this similar to the rail gun optimization. Best regards!

Yo this is sweet! Efficiency may be improved by shortening the whole structure. If you reduce the distance from the spin plate to the outermost frictionless bearing, you may get less wobble.

In my opinion, you could increase your coil count from 4 to 8, by slightly reducing the size of existing coils, while keeping the same thin gauge copper wire. This would keep a more stable current and should give even more voltage output. Then you should hook up a low voltage arduino board to it that pulses a motor that would spin the flywheel automatically. I would be interested in seeing how these changes/additions impact the overall design and efficiency and whether or not it would work.

Hi Tim I really like watching your builds and listening to your presentation of this field of study. May I offer you a better alternative for efficiency I would have the magnets in the middle then have the coils either side. The field strength of the magnets would induce the coils as they are not very deep in the bobbins. Also maybe try finer gauge wire if you want volts as tesla said make your turns many for volts. I watch countless videos of people not utilizing or being efficient it's like they have too much money and not enough mother of necessity.

Haven't read all the comments, so I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but to further minimise energy loss to friction at the left-hand end, you could use opposing magnets to eliminate the left-hand shift instead. I will accept refinement royalties when this takes off, thanks.

I sugest adding the third magnetic bearing at the other end of the axle and having it magneticaly confined from at least three directions for example in a equal-sided triangle configuration.(Thou this does not circumvent the bent axle problem) You can also try using this for all other magnetic bearings,reducing the leght off the axle and maybe get a new (unbent) axle.Sorry for bad eng.

And then at each end (and even at intermediate points) you could use high quality bearings with the grease removed, and lubricated with WD-40 only. Then put the whole thing into a vacuum chamber and get the pressure down as much as possible. I'd love to see a part 2!!

5:52 - You must be pronouncing FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER incorrectly, the camera didn't shake. BTW, with a flywheel, the energy stored depends on the mass and speed. If you make another wheel, thin down the centre, and concentrate the mass on the outer edge, you will be able to store more energy without increasing the total mass.

you could sandwich as many coils and magnets as you want and use more negative opposing magnetic fields to make it so the shaft does not have to touch anything and can float. you can also seal this in a low pressure chamber to achieve near zero resistance spinning and full efficency

I think it would have helped to put the magnets out of phase, so the magnets on one side face the in between the magnets on the other side, which once rectified should result in a more even output

As an improvement. Angular momentum is a product of mass and radius and some other variables, so you can increase momentum without increasing mass. Second, look into induction generator. Third, what if you also use magnets on both sides to restrict motion?

Some interesting facts: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States had more than 25 gigawatts of electrical energy storage capacity as of March 2018. Of that total, 94 percent was in the form of pumped hydroelectric storage, and most of that pumped hydroelectric capacity was installed in the 1970s. The six percent of other storage capacity is in the form of battery, thermal storage, compressed air, and flywheel. The flywheels store 58 mega watts of that total capacity. Some flywheels use magnetic bearings, operate in a vacuum to reduce drag, and can attain rotational speeds up to 60,000 revolutions per minute.

I A Reid 2 yıl önce

Phobos, storage is not measured in Megawatts, but megawatt hours, i.e the duration that the storgae can provide power for. What the DoE have not included is the amount of flywheel energy in all of the thermal and hydro power plants connected to the grid. These large machines have a very large amount of inertia from the roational speed and large mass of the generators. (Something wind and solar do not have) This flywhel effect has astabilising effect on grid frequency. Incidentally a test to measure how long this rotational inertia would last if power was lost was the reason that the chernobyl accident occurred. That is a problem with storing energy in a flywheel, as soon as you use it to generate power it starts to slow down and power and frequency drops off. It doesn't seem a promising way to store energy for a grid.

@I A Reid right, with each load, you need more force... That applies to about anything related to generating power.

I’m curious as to what problems arise if the magnets are all oriented the same (all like poles facing outward instead of alternating them). It seems like you could get rid of the rectifier, since it would be a DC output, and just use a voltage regulator if you needed to protect against DC over-voltage. I would think it would have a higher efficiency since you would eliminate the voltage drops from the diodes. What am I missing or unaware of? Nice project BTW! Great stuff!

The Deadly Paradox 7 aylar önce

Idea to make this better is to build a sub part to the axle that's hanging out this section will have a clamp that can grip to the rod at any time that's attached to a high speed gear crank a gear going from any crazy high number to a small one for max speed per revolution and the handle of the crank has a trigger much like a bike has and treat the system like the breaks do but with a clamp to the rod and when you spin the crank for a while let go and the flywheel will keep spinning like it is now and the crank makes it easier to start it up at will and if need be speed it back up this would increase the voltage output due to it spinning much faster and last longer due to more speed stored in the flywheel

Zack Yıl önce

Use a string wrapped around the shaft to get it to spin fast. Also if you want a nice straight shaft you need to get a bigger one than you need of a hard material like tool steel. Then machine grind it to thousands spec. Then machine the flywheel and balance it on a flywheel jig by drilling it. Then fit the shaft in the center with a few thousands spec press fit.

Fortunately, I learned that 40+ years ago. With coils that are at different positions, they will produce AC peaks at different times (phases). In the 1800s they found out that 3 coils making 3 phases can provide smooth power without wobbling, which is really nice when the flywheel etc. all weigh multiple tonnes. Converting 3 phase AC to DC just needs an extra pair of diodes for the extra input wire.

Ben Purves 2 yıl önce

To straighten a shaft in a lathe : spin at around 500rpm. Start with about a hands width protruding from the chuck. Check for wobble and pull the bar towards you. You will feel the bar vibrate as you pull the bar past centre slightly. Do it the right amount and you will overcome the tensile strength of the material just enough for it to remain on center. Pull the rod out another hands width and repeat. Always check by rolling the bar on a known flat surface. Wet hands for extra lubrication.

Ummm, or just use a dial indicator. My old boss taught me the quickest way to get something roughed in is to use a sharpie and brush the high spot as object spins. Benn a machinist for about thirty years. His best bet is to cut off the shaft , drill out the center, and bush it for a new shaft. Pity it warped on him.

I would say never put your hands near a lathe spinning material at 500rpm. Better to buy silver steel which should be true

@Ian Lainchbury what about with leather gloves

@Hellfire missile salesman Never wear gloves when using a lathe. The gloves can wrap round the part and pull you in.

@Ian Lainchbury That is a lesson that you do NOT want to learn the hard way, I have seen people getting degloved doing that as well... OUCH!

In 1995, I was a young "lad" just visiting a foreign country (England, London) for the first time, and wouldn't you know, the device displayed @ 1:38 had me captivated. I was only 15, but between this device and some lego's before a trip to Bath... amazing life experience. My grandmother took me and for some odd, but likely predictable reason, this kind of video triggers in me a great sense of appreciation. I wish you the best Tom. Lots of love and admiration for your efforts. I just hope you spend a fraction of a time wondering what some of your viewers have experienced... because it's pretty damn amazing to share these kinds of experiences.

*Main point he forgot to mention is:* Case 1: If you rotate manually the freewheel which is levitating on the magnet, say, for example, it will rotate for 20 minutes (as there is no mechanical friction) Case 2: If the same rotating free wheel is subjected to rotate between copper coils in order to get electric current, it will rotate for less than 5 minutes Previously in case 1, when no copper coils were connected, the wheel freely rotates for 20 more minutes when subjected to take electric current thru Cu coils, there the free wheel faces resistance, the free wheel should use more of its mechanical energy to overcome the resistance thereby the rotating wheel loses its RPM and eventually stops rotating

You efficiently made a dual rotor axial flux motor, which I suggested to you in your e-bike project before. Just wind a couple more copper wires and stick a VESC to it and see how good it performs in terms of torque. Awesome work & video!

You sure that the design is efficient? I have very much trouble figuring out the orientation of the magnetic fields and how to make their interaction as efficient as possible. Also magnetic field diagrams make me dizzy.
