    You could eliminate the battery and use a energy harvesting antenna and rectifier.. I have a circuit that used to be in nuts and volts magazine back in the 1990s, it powered a small transistor radio. Then you could put a vacume on it without worry... No chemical components involved..

    • @nickpelov
      @nickpelov 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      My guess is that the power usage will be almost the same because it mostly depends on coil resistance. The difference is it'll spin faster at that current - less resistance. Actually my guess is that it will probably accelerate forever ... almost - there are other magnetic fields that will try to slow it down - earth or radio waves. But it'll be still cool to see how it gets faster and faster

    The power loss on the resistors is P = R*I^2 = 24MOhm * (150nA)^2 = 0.54µW. So the total power usage would be 0.54µW + 0.00495µW = 0.54495µW which gives around 816 years on 3.9Wh.

  • @benediktkohler28

      Not really, but close, battery has abut 3.6 Volts motor "uses" about 33 mV, so over 99% of voltage and so energy (E= U * I * t) is lost in the resistors, so the real powerdraw is about 110 times higher than statet in the video, so runtime drops to about 90.000 years / 110 = 825 years, that is still insane, given an efficiency of about 1 % XD

    I noticed that the rotor nearly stops when a magnet approaches a coil. After passing the coil it receives a slight push.
    Meaning ... that if you can make it run smoother without breaking at every coil, you could easily(!) double the run time ;-)
    Reducing the amount of coils would help already.

People are going to need this technology soon. I've watched plenty of vids to see where things are at presently and even now I still don't see many inventors utilizing phi geometry in their devices. Phi allows for nondestructive acceleration and compression of charge. It was always at the core of my own research. In fact Tesla was also infatuated with the great pyramid and sacred geometry.

    This would make an interesting design for a long-term radio "beacon" for space-based navigation. Since the rotor will act as a gyroscope, station-holding _should_ be possible as long as nothing interferes with device. You could then attach small radio-absorbing baffles to the top of the rotor and have them rotate around a feflective core, meaning that any signals of the proper wavelength beamed in the direction of the beacon would be reflected at a specific rate.
    Such an electro-mechanical oscillator would seem like a laughably Rube-Goldbergian way to build a beacon, but it also seems like something that might drive up the mean time between failure of other more energy-intensive systems. If, say, these things were seeded throughout a volume of space like the asteroid belt, anything that can reduce the costs of maintenance (and merely going _to_ the beacon would be the primary cost unless you've got some sort of maintenance bot that uses esoteric propulsion like solar sails) is a good choice.

    Very satisfying to see concise videos about well-done experimentation. Do you have specific plans for implementing this motor or is it really just for fun?

      Mostly just for fun, but there are some possible applications.

    Very cool. It could be made a little bit more robust by adding a bumper over the top shaft magnet that would limit its travel in the case of accidental bump. It seems a little tremor will make the shaft shoot up

    Am I dreaming? Are you back from like a 4-5 years break from TH-cam? Very happy to see you're alive mate.

      @sykoteddy 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok, I don't what I got 4-5 years from, but I was sure that was how long you've been gone. But after watching this video I just noticed a video from 2 years ago. I seriously thought I had scavenged through all your videos. Could this be a TH-cam manipulation I've been a victim of?

    YES! You did it!
    Only the Reed switch concerns me. No way it lasts for so long before it breaks. Any ideas?

    Hey Laser, I checked my concrete battery the one I thought was dead and it still has current in the 200 to 300 microamp range.
    Get out one of your old cement batteries and try it.
    Like your work.

    The nice thing about POC projects is that they don't really need to "do" anything... I immediately wondered about possible uses for it, but that's the old mechanical designer in me... ;-)

  • @neliusndl

    Hello. Nice build.
    You should use the system voltage to calculate the power. You use the motor voltage of 40mv. That just tells you the motor power. The rest of the losses are in the resistor.
    Another way to look at it is how much power is the battery losing? Answer = Battery voltage x 0.15uA

    • @henry00710
      @henry00710 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great observation, and this is when we look into methods of energy storage and conjunction of other technology to either work with power leaks or continue with a joule thief apparatus to bring about desired output. The battery is not the problem rather the size of the wire that limits and constrict energy flow. There is only transfer of energy never loss. To transfer most efficient and effective without any energy leak or need for calibration it requires proper wire gauge and a direct connection. A power supply without branching of any other circuitry.

  • @shrikedecil

    This is awesome. Microamps is a small enough power consumption that the possibilities for powering it explode. Springs and weights have provided microamps for a very long time. Piezoelectrics could be arranged to completely baffle people, but would fundamentally be 'power from outside'. And, if you're allowing 'power from outside', using convection-oriented solar would be amusing. Or tuning cheesy Tesla coil ($15 from Amazon) pulling energy from background radiowaves. Edison's Nickel-Iron battery, perhaps for longevity.

    Fine tuning that bias magnet at the top is going to drive you crazy.
    Every time the room temperature changes by 10 or 20 degrees the rotor shaft will either be pulled up or dropped down.

    • @lasersaber
      @lasersaber  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's actually amazingly stable. I have run it for well over a week and through some very wide temperature ranges with no issues. Maybe I will see issues if I put it in the freezer and then let it warm back up while running at room temperature.

    • @RobertSzasz
      @RobertSzasz 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pyrolytic graphite is way stronger than the usual bismuth plates. That means a larger temperature range where it's stable.

  • @lovesimplecooking

    Hey Lasersaber, great job. What's your opinion using bismuth as a capacitor? Have you ever thought of using it for its dielectric properties??
