    For the flywheel aspect. You could add a heavy metal ring to it. Rather than a heavier disk. Still applies a lot of stored momentum. But, it's less ineffective weight.

    THAT is almost exactly what I was thinking of doing with mine once I get it constructed. I am going to use a much thicker wire around it so that I have less resistance to work with and I should see some pretty steady generation.
    Once I include a capacitor there should be a stable storage system for the unit and if the wind gets it turning 'like the Dickens' then it shouldn't really need a dump load(not that those are difficult to put it honestly.

    I was experimenting w/ some magnet bearings such as that and I had pretty good success driving it w/ a bedini motor. What I was trying to do next is what you did here, putting an axial flux rotor on to act as a flywheel and see if it would generate electricity, but I've been having a hard time coming up w/ a magnet/coil plan as I do not understand coil theory and can't find any good sources that explain it. ie how thick of wire, how many windings to give you X volts or Y amps.
    The only problem w/ that magnet bearing is that you can't really give it any side loading, so you can't connect it to a belt/chain to drive anything and I'd think real world wind may knock it off as well.

    Rob, this is great stuff. Do you know if there's a way to calculate the size & strength of the required magnets for a given amount of weight? I've been thinking of something like this but have met two stumbling blocks... finding ring magnets that are magnetized the right way... they are mostly magnetized as you've shown, but thought it would be best to have the outer diameter N/S and inner diameter S/N, that way the outer diameter pole would be repelled uniformly... the other stumbling block is determining size required (in Gauss? or Tesla? units) thanks again!

    • @ThinkingandTinkering
      @ThinkingandTinkering  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      radially magnetised magnets are rare and expensive mate - I looked at one with the right diameter and it was UK£245 and I needed two - wow - I think it is because they don't make that many of them so as 'one off' it is expensive - eclipse magnets will custom make a magnet for you but again it's expensive - the only thing I can think of is to use bar magnets with opposite faces as north/south and construct an approximation - the field wouldn't be uniform so there would be a dare of 'bounce' but the larger the circle and the smaller the bar magnet then the better it would approximate a circle

    Clever, that this bearing might be attached to a fancy windmill. A next step might be a way to figure out a four-way funnel to funnel some outside wind in to the little windmill? If that step works, a screen or something to keep the birds, wind blown grass clippings or whatever out of your setup? As for the bearing itself? ... I've heard that a pointy end of a nylon rod against glass has very little friction. So a whiskey shot glass might be useful to consider? Like the clip.

Your implications that wind power might be the way to go to supplement your electricity usages is a good one, I think. Solar cells oxidize over time and their efficiency is reduced because of that. And the buy in is expensive. The question of low power or low output voltages might be addressed with a voltage quadrupler or something similar.

      @@ThinkingandTinkering just regular ring magnets with the poles on the flat sides. The magnets will need to be positioned one within the other in opposition of poles. The force is quite focused within the center. The rod will pass through the hole in the smaller magnet and protrude a distance like a barbell for weights. The larger magnets two are glued into blocks or panels in the center. The end panel needs a block at the end for the rod to press against that matches the space at the end of the rod so the larger and smaller magnets align flush on flat sides. It will be hard to push through to the stop block but once it is you have high speed frictionless bearings. I used 1-1/2”x3/4” with a 3/4” hole for the outside ring and 5/8”x 1/4” with a 1/4” hole stacked three deep. I was able to see a 4 pound rotor up above 10,000 rpm and it was slightly out of balance. The magnets act as a shock absorbing bearings as well! The rod end riding on the stop can be pointed for reduced friction as well as the stop block being ceramic or other hard surfaces to reduce drag. Hope this helps!

    So, I have notebook for all my crazy ideas. One for a magnet system for a flywheel system. Now there are superconductor, and now there is super conductor tape on top of permeant magnets, and there is electric magnets all these can be complex..with the.suoerconductors be easier to manage the wobble due to the pinning effect. But..but...what if you could have a pinning effect with permeant magnets...ah..so what is the trick?? Let imagine a flywheel with a magnet attached to the bottom of float above a much bigger magnet which is repelling it..okay so nothing new here right? What if this much larger magnet had a small cylindrical whole in it right in the dead center of it? And what if one secured a small cylindrical magnet with the opposite polarity in that hole. What would happen? The floating magnet would be pinned and stabilized by small cylindrical magnet and the much larger magnet would float the flywheel. Viola! No superconductor...but yeah it would probably not be stable as a superconductor but I think it would be an improvement.

    Perhaps you should set up an onlyfans page Rob if your going to be doing future blowing videos. Now a bit off topic but I remember a few videos back you were playing with generating and through some science or witchcraft, (same thing) you managed to decouple the generation from the load so it didn't put stress or resistance on the generator part. I think through capacitors. Is this possible on a bigger scale with larger power outputs? My thoughts turn to the many videos of people who built a Pedal powered generator converting a bike, sometimes when using the right kind of alternator, can produce an ok amount of power but switch on a load and it gets difficult to pedal, even if it goes through a battery between them.

    All you have to do is the Maths. How much wind does your area experience on average? What would be the optimum coverage of 'windmills'? What would be the averaged output of these produce? How many people could survive in that 'energy regime'? What would it look like? Would it be livable? What would be the largest urban zone 'free' energy could support. What side-effects are produced by extracting so much energy?
    I'm not knocking you or your work. But what is the end game? The real game is the portability of energy on tap (fuel).
    BTW contra-rotating VAWT blades in a connected series with mag bearings (with a protective braking option) seems to be the optimum design; it may even be possible to do that in multi-depth 'banks' where the vortices power the second/third/+ rows.
