Newman Motor Replication- Build 2

This is the 2nd Newman Motor I have made using more wire and bigger magnets

In this video I'm showing the motor running itself running off of 4 1.5V AA batteries, while also turning an induction generator on the end (see my next vid for more info on that)
This motor will run for days off these batteries which is pretty amazing in itself because the design is very inefficient, which should wear the batteries down pretty fast!
Something more interesting is when I wire in a rectifier circuit between the coil, I am measuring up to 14v DC coming back out.

yes,,I agree,, its best fill some caps up then switch it over to run on the caps power. and see if it can fill it faster than it can use it,, Good job!!!

Right now I am not playing around so much with capacitors.. Although I have in the past with my first Newman Motor and got some good results! This time I'm simply trying to charge a rechargeable 9V battery and have it charged enough to run the motor once the AA batteries run out.. if I can do that, Im totally sold on this technology!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Went out and bought some A/C caps rated at around 800V and also picked up tons of various sized D/C caps.. going to use the caps as a dump bucket for the big voltages I am getting back from this and see if I can put it to use.. I have to brush up on diodes, resistors and charging circuits.. back to the books!

700 feet of wire in 20AWG is 7 ohms!

700 feet of wire in 20SWG is 5.6 ohms!

How do you run 6 volts of batteries on so few ohms for days???? :)

I need this. My coil is 270 ohms and I'm using 40 volts of AA batteries just to run it for two or three days!

Like Lidmotor, I am very curious as to what amount of current you are using. Please show AC and DC.

Awesome!

I'm not sure why it lasts for 2 days at this point, I know I am drawing only about 20miliamps with the proper commutator timing. I have added more wire to the main coil, aprox 500 more feet. The resistance has gone up but now draws even less from the battery. I did notice as you go with more windings in the coil, amperage goes down as long as the voltage is higher to keep the RPM's up.

I have measured A/C voltage spikes with the bigger coil at over 1000v!! Off the meter..

I have to make you a question... How many Amps you need to run the motor and how many amps can the generator put out?

[TheB3e]

The "motor" will actually spin slowly off of 1 AA battery 1.5V - so to answer your question, it will technically run off of what 1 AA will provide as far as amps..

I will be taking more measurements and will post up the results.

[Drevtoobe]

To properly answer the question you could build a circuit that's used only for measuring the REAL power consumption of your motor. I explain how to do it on one of Armakuni2000's clips.

I think it all has to do with timing and pulse duration. With this motor I only pulse the 6V once per revolution instead of twice like it's "supposed to be" switching polarity.

I think this allows for less overall draw on the batteries although I will try different commutator configurations for fun and see what happens. I also have a generator on the end of it that independantly puts out about 2-3.5V which would otherwise be wasted (next vid I will show this) Thanks for the positive comments
