Smartdrive motor explained (sort of!)

The underside of a smartdrive stator, this is an excellent cheap educational project for kids, Mums and Dads can learn a thing or two as well! Smartdrives are already in use as wind and hydro generators.
To power three lights WITHOUT a rectifier connect one phase to one side of each of each bulb and connect the neutral bridge to the other side of all three bulbs. Then spin the rotor. I recommend using 25 watt lightbulbs unless you are really strong.

@panyolito1929 you could save yourself a lot of money by going to your local rubbish dump and finding a fisher & paykel, LG, or whirlpool washing machine. The rectifiers are available from any electronics shop for very cheap. Freight from NZ to the Phillipines would be ten times what a smartdrive is worth!

@abeliscain happy to help mate, check the bulletins on my channel for clues on finding a smartdrive motor/generator in the US

I wouldn't let children anywhere near such a sloppy set-up.

@flowerbower go shave your arse you old grouch

cool vid, thanks, i am trying to self teach with wiring and such, have you ever thought of adding magnets to your units to increase the output? I see lots of people doing that now.

@beancube2008 And this is related to playing with a scrap washing machine how?

[MrTechnophile]

Cool project! If you run this for very long I'd suggest adding some heat sinking to the rectifiers so they don't burn up.

Have you seen this video? Tried to send you the link but it would not let me. Look for...

Free Energy Generator- The real deal!
