In-V Energy Production: Mag Amp Gen 3
The purpose of this video is to show a preliminary STANDARD UNIT, which, by small alterations in input voltage, producing different axle rpm's, will produce various output voltages feeding wheel-hub magnetic drives, from 24v - 72v. This means that by varying the number of STANDARD UNITS one can provide drive power to small or larger vehicles.
Note that this differs, not only from FUEL-MOTORS, but from Magnetic Drives with only battery-sourcing. Neither of these have ONE STANDARD UNIT which can accomodate vehicles large or small, slower or faster.
Of additional note; while this five-ring 3-phase unit is loosly rated at 2.5amps (at 50v), & the next six-ring unit will be rated at 3 amps, MACHINE-SHOP production editions can easily DOUBLE these ratings, by closing the gap between magnets & coils, as well as increasing the number of coil-turns. Of further note, units like these should NEVER be exposed to DIRECT LOADS - if they are, the resulting impedance will back up into the coils, slowing rpm's, and increasing strain on the small DC motor. On a vehicle, all this can be regulated by only one gauge: The power-voltage gauge. Unlike in "Electric" vehicles, where this gauge ONLY GOES DOWN after a "charge-up". In vehicles using this Generator-Amplifyer, the gauge will go UP when the solar-fed unit is turned on, and DOWN when the Magnetic-Drive units are accelerating or going up hills or carrying heavy loads. Any gauge loss can be restored quickly by merely stopping with these units left on. Result? A truly practical stand-alone Fuel-Less Transport System.
Once you are PRODUCING energy as you go down the road, you will feel a lot less HELPLESS in changing things!
For the record, here is how to build a practical Fuel-Less Transport.
1) Build a body like MIT's "Metro" ("stackable").
2) Mount 2 or four wheel-hub 3-d Magnetic Drives like Nisson's "Pivo2".
3) Mount about 1/4 size of their Li-polymer bat-set under frame.
4) Mount 2-6 Mag Amp Gen units like the one in video.
5) Mount 2-6 Solar panels on roof, each about 8"X 2' (smaller if you have nano), each feeding one Gen.
6) Sprinkle in a few hefty capacitors on line to Gen's, and end-line to controllers to store energy for night & rainy days.

I will build all this stuff later, if I have time. Meanwhile, enjoy being the first Earth Generation of on-road energy PRODUCERS, instead of dumbed-down slave energy CONSUMERS!!!
Good Questions: Our earlier SOLAR VEES maxed at about 3 amps w/wind problems, $3000 cost - so you see this $100unit advantages. Also Batteries alone can cost $12,000 or more; but $1000 with these units; plus, they wear out-these units don't! So you see all the important advantages! Little motor work's fine - other vids test one is too big, needs more current. This is 5-ring; one just finished? 6-ring: good standard size.

If this gives only 3 amps, won't you need 3 or four to run a small chinese scooter hub drive?
And wouldn't making them longer with more rings be more efficient? Would the little motor you have turn it?
Just a suggestion....

Yes Luc, this has already been done. Four men pumping with 4 ordinary Auto Gen. went up to 60mph. They were on MSN feature a couple months ago. Of course with 5 or 6 of this vids. units, a 90lb girl could haul several tons to market at 50mph or so. Still, building a petal multi-unit isn't that simple - due to the mechanics. It is a pity the Chinese don't have these, it would solve all their interior development problems.

Why don't you just pedal the magnets on the axle, you know? Wouldn't that be simplest?

Lescull: You may be right, but Air turbine while steadier than weather, have there own stability problems: maybe two combined to even out Voltage? Mort 1-phase at 3600 gives 120v; 3-phase at 1200 120v- 600;60v. So I want about 6 or 700 (volts can be 20 or more over Bats depending on amp/prop. A good part of this test was finding it didn't tear itself apart at 1200rpm's! Keeping current flowing is the object - no heat with no back-up, but Bat begins resist when near full.

So what is the ideal RPM? - and set the number of fins accordingly. When you get it outside, use all elements and add a solar panel to the circuit. No-grid assumption has you moving it outside.

Why not get the initial spin from a squirrel cage horizontal wind turbine? (ie: zero current initial input, kinetic contribution from external factors only - the assumption should be no-grid, 'cause it's going down - ask New Hampshire!) If you're having stability issues, let initial wind get it started, then the air preasure resistance - once it is spinning - will keep the RPMs steady.
