THE AUTHOR HAS ENDEAVOURED TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE AVERAGE KEEN SCIENTIFICALLY-MINDED PERSON TO UNDERSTAND THE GENERAL FORMAT AND PRESENTATION OF THIS MANUAL. THE AUTHOR HOPES THIS DISCLOSURE OF THE ADAMS PULSED MOTOR GENERATOR AND THE COMPILLATION OF A MANUAL DESCRIBING IT'S CONSTRUCTION AND TEST PROCEDURES WILL GIVE IMPETUS AND SATISFACTION TO MANY WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY-FREE DEVICES. THE AUTHOR ALSO HOPES THAT SUCH INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD. FEEL FREE TO INITIATE AND MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH HIM, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THE PUBLISHERS OF 'NEXUS' MAGAZINE, AS HE HAS OTHER EXCITING BEYOND UNITY ENERGY INVENTIONS TO BE DEVELOPED. A WORD OF ADVICE FOR EXPERIMENTERS - CONSIDERABLE PATIENCE IS REQUIRED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS MACHINE AND PROCURING THE CORRECT MATERIALS, MACHINING, ASSEMBLY, ETC., ARE ALL TIME CONSUMING; A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR IS "ACCURACY" WHICH IS, OF COURSE, ALSO VERY, VERY TIME CONSUMING PER SE. SAFETY IS ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR TO PRACTICE FOR THOSE CONSIDERING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MACHINE OF HIGH SPEED AND/OR OUTPUT POWER. ATTENTION TO SAFETY PARTICULARLY APPLIES TO 4 MACHINE DESIGNED FOR A HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT. THERE IS THE DANGER OF ONE PLACING ONE'S HANDS IN TOO CLOSE A PROXIMITY TO THE ROTOR WHILST IT IS IN MOTION. AS DESCRIBED IN THE CONSTRUCTION SECTION, A SPEED OF 2,500 RPM IS NO PROBLEM WITH ONLY TWO POLES 180° APART. THE AUTHOR HAS TESTED VARIOUS MINIATURE IMPORTED PERMANENT MAGNETIC MOTORS, AND THESE MACHINES, IT WAS FOUND, ON AVERAGE, CONSUMED 900% MORE INPUT CURRENT THAN HIS MACHINES OF SIMILAR OUTPUT RATING, AND THEY, IN TURN, HAD SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER TORQUE AN ON FULL LOAD, OVERHEATED IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES. PERMANENT MAGNETIC ELECTRIC D.C. MOTOR GENERATOR GENERALISED DESCRIPTION OF THE ADAMS ELECTRIC MOTOR GENERATOR: IT IS ESSENTIALLY A D.C. MACHINE BUT MAY BE FED A.C. INPUT WITH THE USE OF A SOLID STATE CONVERTER. PUT INTO EFFECT :- ONE - THE ROTOR HAS A NUMBER OF SIMILAR POLARITY PERMANENT MAGNETIC POLES, I.F., ALL SOUTH-GOING OR ALL NORTH-GOING. TWO - THE DRIVE STATOR WINDINGS ARE FED PREDETERMINED PULSES OF D.C. ENERGY. THE RESULT IS THAT ONCE THE ROTOR IS MOVED FROM THE POSITION OF EQUILIBRIUM, EACH POLE IS ATTRACTED TO OR REPULSED BY THE STATOR POLES, BUT AT A PRECISE GEOMETRICAL POINT WITH RESPECT TO THE STATOR POLES THE INPUT CURRENT TO THE DRIVE COILS CEASES. AS A RESULT THE COLLAPSING FIELD CURRENT IS NOW IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE APPLIED FORCE, THUS REVERSING THE MAGNETIC POLARITY OF THE STATOR POLES. THIS FORCES. THE ROTOR POLES AWAY (REACTION), WHICH IS THE INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE OF A SYSTEM TO AN APPLIED FORCE AND IS MANIFESTED AS THE EXERTION OF A FORCE EQUAL IN MAGNITUDE, BUT OPPOSITE IN DIRECTION, TO THE APPLIED FORCE. TO EXPLAIN IN FURTHER DETAIL THE MACHINES OPERATION AND RESULTANT REMARKABLE EFFICIENCY, SOME CLASSICAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING THEORY IS CONSIDERED IN ORDER. EFFICIENCY IS GREATER THE MORE NEARLY EQUAL THE BACK E.M.F. IS TO THE APPLIED VOLTAGE, I.E., THE LOWER THE INPUT CURRENT: THIS MUST PERTAIN IN PRACTICE BECAUSE IT IS SEEN THAT FOR EFFICIENT RUNNING THE BACK E.M.F. MUST BE NEARLY EQUAL TO THE APPLIED E.M.F. so WE FIND IT JUSTIFIABLE, FROM LENZ'S LAW, THAT IN CONVENTIONAL MACHINES USING A NORTH-SOUTH MAGNETIC CONFIGURATION, REQUIRING A H_ CONSTANT CURRENT INPUT, THE BACK E.M.F. IS NOT ONLY WASTED IN HEAT BUT ALSO, AS LENZ,S LAW STATES, THE INDUCED BACK E.M.F. WILL BE IN SUCH A DIRECTION AS TO OPPOSE THE ROTATION WHICH IS PRODUCING IT; THE ROTATION IS CAUSED BY THE EXTERNAL CURRENT SUPPLY TO THE INPUT WINDINGS. ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE ACCOMPANYING GRAPH NO. 100 PROVING A MINIMUM 100% FEEDBACK. TO SUPPLY SOURCE OF D.C., VIRTUALL DEPICTING AN 4.C. SINE WAVE. TORQUE: INPUT POWER VARIES AS THE DUTY CYCLE PULSE, I , THE LOWER THE DUTY CYCLE THE LOWER THE INPUT CURRENT, HENCE THE GREATER THE EFFICIENCY. THE LOWER THE SPEED THE GREATER THE TORQUE. AS IN A CLOSED CIRCUIT, CONSTANT CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH THE STATOR/ARMATURE WINDINGS AND SO THEY REPRESENT CURRENT CARRYING CONDUCTORS PLACED IN A MAGNETIC FIELD. THUS EACH CONDUCTOR IS BEING ACTED ON BY A FORCE WHICH, BY FLEMING'S LEFT-HAND RULE, IS SEEN TO BE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION. THIS ELECTRODYNAMIC TORQUE HAS TO BE OVERCOME IN THE CONVENTIONAL MACHINE AND, TO DO SO, ADDITIONAL POWER MUST BE SUPPLIED FOR THIS PURPOSE, BY THE INPUT SOURCE OF POWER, BE IT MECHANICAL. OR ELECTRICAL. SO, TOO, FURTHER POWER. IS LOST DUE TO THE RESULTANT REQUIREMENT OF A COOLING FAN. L THE FOREGOING DISADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL MACHINES IN THE WORLD TODAY HAVE BEEN OVERCOME WITH THIS INVENTION. CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL NOTES CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN ASSEMBLING AND WIRING DRIVE WINDINGS IN ORDER TO BE SURE THAT MAGNETIC POLARITIES MATCH ROTOR POLARITY. COMMON EARTHING MUST BE AVOIDED TO PRECLUDE VOLTAGE AND/OR CURRENT LOOPS, IF A NUMBER OF DRIVE WINDING LEADS NEED TO BE COMMONED, USE VERY LOW RESISTANCE CONDUCTORS AND EMPLOY ONLY A TRANSMISSION TYPE EARTHING SYSTEM. THE FOREGOING FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT: - DRIVE WINDINGS (STATORS) RESISTANCES ARE YOUR CHOICE: THE INVENTOR'S MACHINES WERE BUILT VARYING FROM 0.03125 TO 27 OHMS PER SET. TWO, FOUR AND EIGHT POLE MACHINES WERE BUILT. MOTOR GENERATORS OUTPUT CAN BE SINGLE, TWO OR THREE PHASE. GENERATOR WINDINGS - AGAIN YOUR CHOICE. UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL SERIES D.C. MACHINES THIS MOTOR CAN BE OFF-LOADED, FIND IT,S OWN SPEED AND REMAIN SO INDEFFINITELY. NOT SO A CONVENTIONAL SERIES MACHINE - iT WILL RUN ITSELF TO DESTRUCTION ON OFF-LOADING. A FURTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE ADAMS MOTOR CANNOT BE OVERLOADED. PROOF - THE MACHINE CAN BE SHORTED AND WILL STILL REVOLVE SLOWLY, BUT WON'T AND CANNOT OVERHEAT OR BURN OUT. NO OVERLOAD PROTECTION IS REQUIRED AND NO COOLING FAN WITH IT'S ENERGY LOSS Is REQUIRED. ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE INVENTOR'S FINAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE NEW ZEALAND ELECTRICITY DEPARTMENT, DISCLOSING AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY, WHICH THE INVENTOR WBS NOW DISCLOSED. PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE HAVE WITNESSED TESTS AS OUTLINED IN THAT REPORT, INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND ELECTRICITY DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL. ATION A FACTOR I MUST POINT OUT HERE IS THAT RECTIFIER DISSIP ST EFFICIENCY LOSS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR ACCURATE TE: ANALYSIS OF THE MACHINE. THE RUNNING RESULTS SHOWN HERE ARE THE MORE SIGNIFICANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT ALL THE GRAPHS SHOW THE SAME MACHINE IN OPERATION, BUT IN DIFFERENT PULSE MODES AND DELIVERING A MAXIMUM ENERGY OF ONLY TWO WATTS AT ANY ONE TIME. ONE COULD WONDER - IS THERE ENERGY ENTERING THE DEVICE AT CERTAIN PULSE FREQUENCIES THAT STANDARD INSTRUMENTATION CANNOT DETECT? SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE IS OCCURING WHICH CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED AND REQUIRES TO BE INVESTIGATED. AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS TREATISE THE INVENTOR IS INVESTIGATING THE LIKELIHOOD OF suCcH ACTIVITY OCCURING. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR IS THAT ALL CELLS USED FOR CHARGING WERE OLD RUN-DOWN CAR BATTERIES FROM 45 AMPERE HOUR TO 80 - NOT EASY TO CHARGE. IMPORTANT EXPLANATORY SECTION ON LEAD ACID CELLS IN ANALYSIS OF A TEST RUN SIMILAR TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED ABOVE YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO AN INHERENT CHARACTERISTIC OF LEAD ACID CELLS. A) A BRAND NEW LEAD ACID CELL, FULLY CHARGED AND LEFT FOR TWENTY-EIGHT DAYS WILL, AT THE END OF THAT PERIOD, BE FOUND TO. BE FULLY DISCHARGED. B) THIS IS AN INHERENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LEAD ACID CELL AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE CURVES AS THEY APPEAR ON THE GRAPHS, I.E., WHEN A LEAD ACID CELL IS TRICKLE CHARGING WITH A VERY LOW CURRENT, AS IT IS IN THIS CASE, THE CURVE WILL EVENTUALLY REACH A PLATEAU AND WILL REMAIN THERE, BECAUSE THE MACHINE CHARGING CURRENT HAS NOW REACHED THE INHERENT DISCHARGE RATE OF THE PARTICULAR CELL, IN A SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME. TO CLIMB ABOVE THE PLATEAU THE CHARGING CURRENT MUST, OF COURSE, BE INCREASED. ALSO NOTE GRAPH 04, UPON REACHING PLATEAU LEVEL, EFFICIENCY PROMPTLY DROPS. O2a O3A OSCILLOSCOPE CURRENT TRACES DEPICTING CLOSE IMAGE OF a SINE WAVE, SHOWING A COLLAPSING FIELD TRACE COMPLETELY OVERCOMING BACK EMF (TORQUE) WITH ENERGY TO SPARE, DEPICTING A TRACE SHOWING A 400% PLUS SURPLUS ENERGY WHICH CAN BE UTILISED BY FEEDING INTO EXTRA DRIVE WINDINGS, INCREASING OUTPUT POWER ACCORDINGLY SQUARE WAVE PULSE WITH REMARKABLE COLLAPSING FIELD HIGH ENERGY TRACE, EXPONENTIAL CURRENT CURVE WITH A COLLAPSING FIELD HIGH ENERGY TRACE. IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST; REFER TO THE SECTION HEADED "THE LUCAS REPORT 28TH JUNE 1978". NOT. ca BECAUSE A SERIES MACHINE IS DEPICTED IN ONE OR MORE DRAWINGS SO FAR SUBMITTED, THIS DOES NOT N SSARILY INDICATE THAT THE MACHINE, UPON BEING BUILT, MUST BE A SER UNIT. QUITE THE CONTRARY. THE ADAMS MOTOR/GENERATOR WILL DELIVER REMARKABLE RESULTS WHETHER IT BE BUILT FOR A SERIES, SHUNT OR COMPOUND WOUND MODE OF OPERATION; IT IS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL READER TO DECIDE WHICH TO BUILD. OBTAINING A COPY OF THE INVENTOR'S MANUAL WOULD ASSIST THE READER A GREAT DEAL TOWARDS THE MAKING OF A DECISION IN THIS RESPECT, AS THE PURPOSE OF PUBLISHING THIS MANUAL IS TO GIVE ANYBODY DESIROUS OF BUILDING AN ADAMS MOTOR/GENERATOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. IN ANY CASE, IT IS A SIMPLE MATTER TO RE-WIRE THE MACHINE TO A DIFFERENT PARAMETER ANYWAY. THE MANUAL WILL CONTAIN A NUMBER OF CIRCUITS TO CHOOSE FROM AND MANY VALUABLE HINTS AND DIRECTIONS ON CONSTRUCTION, TESTING AND GENERAL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS PROCEDURE; KEEPING aS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM BEING TOO TECHNICAL, WITH A VIEW TO ASSISTING THE AVERAGE NOVICE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, TO BUILD AN ADAMS MOTOR/GENERATOR WITH SATISFACTION (EXPERIMENTER, RESEARCHER, TECHNICIAN, ENGINEER, SCIENTIST) FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES OF THE ADAMS MOTOR/GENERATOR Li IT OVERCOMES BACK EMF, WHICH IS THE BIG PROBLEM IN ALL CONVENTIONAL MACHINES. 2. IT, IN TURN, (DUE TO IT'S UNIQUE DESIGN) HARNESSES THE EFFECT OF BACK EMF, I.E., THE COLLAPSING FIELD, THEREBY INCREASING TORQUE AND DECREASING POWER INPUT. 3. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A SEPERATE MOTOR IN THE MOTOR/ GENERATOR MODE TO PRODUCE ELECTRICAL OUTPUT ENERGY. 4, IT UTILIZES THE ONE COMMON ROTOR WHICH RUNS THE MACHINE AND GENERATES OUTPUT POWER. ax ALL IT'S ROTOR POLES ARE OF SIMILAR POLARITY, I.E., ALL SOUTH GOING OR ALL NORTH GOING. 6. IT'S DRIVE (STATOR) WINDING AND POLE REQUIREMENTS ARE SMALL. 7s THE AIR GAP IS NOT CRITICAL 8, IT REQUIRES NO COOLING FAN. 9. THE MACHINE DOES NOT REQUIRE CONSTANT CURRENT POWER INPUT. 10, THE UNIQUE DESIGN OF THE MACHINE IS SUCH THAT :- a) IT FEEDS ENERGY BACK INTO IT'S BATTERY SUPPLY. b) THERE IS VIRTUALLY ZERO MAGNETIC DRaG. c) IT'S TEMPERATURE, UNDER FULL LOAD CONDITIONS, IS LESS THAN HALF THAT OF ANY CONVENTIONAL MACHINE. d) REGARDING MECHANICAL SWITCHING MODE, THE "TAPERED STAR CONTACTOR DISC" WHICA THE INVENTOR CONCIEVED, IS A MEANS OF GOVERN- -ING AND/OR ALTERING THE DUTY CYCLE, WHICH, IN TURN, GIVES AN AUTOMATIC MEANS OF VARYING SPEED, CURRENT AND TORQUE. ils THE MACHINE, IN HIGH EFFICIENCY MODE, I.E., BEYOND UNITY, IS PRODUCING ENERGY FROM SPACE, VIZ., (ELECTROSTATIC SCALAR POTENTIAL). 12. CONTRARY TO CONVENTIONAL MACHINES, THE SLOWER THE SPEED, THE GREATER THE EFFICIENCY, THE GREATER THE TORQUE, THE LOWER THE INPUT POWER. 13. AS THERE IS NO POWER FACTOR LOSS IN THE MACHINE THERE ARE CONSTANT POWER AND TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS (MACHINE IN RESONANCE MODE). 14, AS THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE DIRECTION OF SUPPLY ENERGY THERE ARE NO EDDY CURRENT OR HYSTERISIS LOSSES SUSTAINED (REFER “PROVEN FACTS" SECTION). 15. THE MACHINE, IN ALL MODES OF OPERATION, IS SELF-PROTECTIVE FROM ANY LIKELY ADVERSE CONDITIONS OCCURING; THEREFORE NO PROTECTIVE ANCILLARY DEVICES ARE REQUIRED. 16. HIGH SPEEDS WITH THEIR ATTENDANT PROBLEMS ARE NOT NECESSARY. 17. THE MACHINE CAN BE ELECTRICALLY LOADED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A FURTHER INCREASE IN OUTPUT ENERGY OF UPWARDS FROM 502 TO BEYOND 100% WITHOUT OVERLOAD OR HEATING ABOVE IT'S NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. 18. THE MACHINE LENDS ITSELF ADMIRABLY TO SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE SPEED CONTROL. NOTES ON GRAPHS NOS. 01 - 09 RESEVOIR POWER EFFICIENCY TEST AD ACID CELLS GRAPHS 01 to 09 DEPICT TYPICAL MOTOR GENERATOR FUNCTIONING DURING RUN PERIODS FROM THREE HOURS TO ONE HUNDRED AND TEN HOURS (FIVE DAYS). ALL GRAPHS ARE CHOSEN TO SHOW VARIATIONS POSSIBLE ON ALTERING DUTY CYCLE. PARTICULAR ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO :- GRAPH 08: AT SWITCH-ON, VOLTAGE OF SUPPLY ACCUMULATOR IS 31.3v AND THE MACHINE RUNS FOR FIFTY-ONE HOURS, KEEPING SUPPLY AT THAT LEVEL FOR THAT PERIOD. TWO HOURS LATER SUPPLY FELL .lv RUNNING AT 31.2v FOR TWENTY-THREE HOURS, AFTER ANOTHER HOUR IT THEN FELL A FURTHER .1v TO 31.1v, LEVELLING OFF FOR THE BALANCE OF THE EFFICIENCY TEST RUN.

GRAPH OAL: DROP .04 INPUT MEAN AVERAGE OF 14.56v. OUTPUT RISE .23v = 575% UNIT EFFICIENCY. REFER TO SECTION ON LEAD ACID CELLS BELOW. CONSTRUCTION THERE SHOULD BE NO ATTEMPT TO BUILD A LARGE MACHINE INITIALLY. EXPERIENCE AND KNOW-HOW IS INVALUABLE IN A PROJECT OF THIS NATURE. THE INVENTOR RECOMMENDS, THEREFORE, THAT, FOR STARTERS, ONE SHOULD FIRST BUILD A SMALL MACHINE, PERFECT IT, AND THEN, AND ONLY THEN, PROCEED TO PLAN A LARGER ONE CAPABLE OF DELIVERING ENERGY OF SOME CONSIDERABLE SUBSTANCE THE INVENTOR WISHES TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS ONE VITAL FACTOR WHICH IS THE RESULT OF THIS INVENTION, THAT BEING THE ABILITY OF THE MACHINE TO TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT, WITH “FINE TUNING", THE MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF COMPLETELY OVERCOMING THE EFFECT OF "BACK EMF" AND, IN SO DOIN! REACHES A STATE OF RESONANCE, IN TUNE WITH THE UNIVERSE, SO TO SPEAK, MAKING IT CAPABLE OF GREATER THINGS. IT WAS WITH THE INVENTION OF THIS MACHINE THAT THE AUTHOR MADE STRIDES TOWARDS THE OTHER MORE ADVANCED UNITS HE IS AT PRESENT ENGAGED WITH. SEMERAL Pee aun AND TESTING PROCEDURES F THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR AN IDEAL DRIVE WINDING POLE CAN BE VERY READILY AVAILABLE BY OBTAINING SOME B.P.O. 3000 TYPE RELAYS (EX TELECOM). SIMPLY REMOVE PRESENT WINDING, CUT CORE IN HALF, RE-THREAD, ASSEMBLE AND FILL WITH WINDING. THIS IS A QUICK AND CHEAP METHOD OF OBTAINING A VERY HIGH QUALITY NON-RETENTIVE STEEL CORE. AS AFOREMENTIONED, WINDING RESISTANCES USED BY THE INVENTOR VARIED BETWEEN 0.03125 TO 27 OHMS. THE ABOVE WINDINGS DESCRIBED ARE AMPLE TO DRIVE PROTOTYPES EVEN IN A 180° APPLICATION. YOU WILL FIND SPEEDS UP TO 2500 RPM WITH ONLY TWO OF THESE WINDINGS 180° APART ~ NO PROBLEM. FOR A.C. OUTPUT COIL WINDINGS AND CORE: IDEAL CORES CAN BE BUILT CHEAPLY AND QUICKLY BY DISMANTLING A SPARE POWER OR AUDIO TRANSFORMER AND UTILIZING THE "I" SECTION LAMINATIONS, OBTAIN WINDING FORMER TO FIT SAME AND IT IS READY FOR WINDING. TURNS AND GUAGE WILL DEPEND ON WHAT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT YOU CHOOSE. REMEMBER, AT THIS STAGE, YOU SHOULD ONLY BE BUILDING A DEMONSTRATION MODEL, SO TO SPEAK. AFTER A FEW CHANGES, CORRECTIONS AND/OR GENERAL MODIFICATIONS YOU WILL BE READY TO PUT A MECHANICAL AND/OR ELECTRICAL LOAD ON THE MACHINE. FOR AN ELECTRICAL LOAD IT IS SUGGESTED YOU FIRSTLY WIRE UP A BANK OF 6 - 12 LEDS. IF EVERYTHING IS GO, THEN SWITCH OVER TO TORCH LAMPS: LATER ON WITH A BIGGER MACHINE - CAR LAMPS, OR MAYBE HOUSEHOLD LAMPS AND A MECHANICAL LOAD SIMULTANEOUSLY. FOR EFFICIENCY TESTING(FOLLOW DRAWING ILLUSTRATION) MILLIAMP METERS ARE USELESS FOR THIS MACHINE - DO NOT USE FOR TESTING. USE ONLY HIGH QUALITY DIGITAL TRUE RMS METERS. .WITH INPUT POWER, FOR HIGH ACCURACY, USE ONLY A HIGH QUALITY ELECTRONIC WATTMETER: THESE INSTRUMENTS MEASURE. EXTREMELY ACCURATELY ANY WAVE-SHAPE. A GOOD TWIN-BEAM OSCILLOSCOPE IS A MUST: SO TOO A HIGH QUALITY ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE-MEASURING INSTRUMENT WITH APPROPRIATE PROBE. DRILL DEAD CENTRE OF ONE OR BOTH CORES, AS PER DRAWING. PROBE MUST BE GOOD FIT. IF, AFTER ONE HOUR OF RUNNING ON LOAD AND TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 40°, THAT WILL INDICATE THINGS ARE MOST LIKELY WORKING CORRECTLY. DON'T FORGET YOUR AMBIENT IN AUSTRALIA WILL BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN OURS. READ THE INVENTOR'S ROTARY AND SOLID STATE EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENT DATA SHEET. ROTOR-STATOR AIR GAP IS NOT CRITICAL, BUT THE CLOSER THE BETTER. AS STATED ELSEWHERE, THE STATOR POLE FACES, IF DESIRED, MAY BE REDUCED TO 25% OF THE ROTOR POLE FACE AREA, HENCE LARGE DRIVE WINDINGS AND HIGH DRIVE CURRENT IS NOT WITH CARE TO DETAIL, CORRECT MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS AND HIGH QUALITY INSTRUMENTATION CORRECTLY UTILIZED, INCREDIBLE RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED. STUDY DATA SUBMITTED SHOWS THOSE RESULTS HAVE BEEN ATTAINED ON SEVERAL MACHINES. TEMPERATURE OF CONVENTIONAL MACHINES INTERNALLY REACH BOILING POINT AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES RUNNING. CHECK THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR AFTER RUNNING ON FULL LOAD FOR 48 HOURS, OR AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES IF YOU PREFER NOT TO WAIT THAT LONG. YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED’- I REFER TO MAXIMUM LOADING CONDITIONS, NOT FREE RUNNING. MECHANICAL LOADING TES ie A HIGH QUALITY STRAIN MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST BE USED IN THE UNIVERSAL “PONY BRAKE" METHOD OF MECHANICAL LOAD TESTING. RPM TESTS MUST ALSO BE OBTAINED WITH A HIGH QUALITY TACHOMETER AND/OR OSCILLOSCOPE READING AND USE THE UNIVERSAL EQUATION TO CALCULATE MECHANICAL MACHINE EFFICIENCY. NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR: AS YOU INCREASE DUTY CYCLE, CURRENT INPUT WILL INCREASE AND EFFICIENCY WILL DECREASE. FROM RANDOM TEST SHEET RESULTS I HAVE CHOSEN IT IS VERY CLEAR WHAT TO EXPECT UPON INCREASING DUTY CYCLE. EN MECHANICAL SWITCHING —_——_—____—_ FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY RESULTS MECHANICAL SWITCHING IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS :- 1) TO GAIN ADVANTAGE OF PARTIAL RECHARGING OF THE BATTERY, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT AND CALCULABLE EFFICIENCY FACTOR. 2) TO PRECLUDE SOLID STATE SWITCHING DISSIPATION LOSS. 3) TO PRECLUDE COLLAPSING FIELD ENERGY LOSSES DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF THE SWITCHING DEVICE BEING IN SERIES WITH THE MACHINE DRIVE WINDINGS. CONTACTOR. DISC ANOTHER UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE "ADAMS M/G" IS THE DESIGN OF THE CONTACTOR DISC. REFERRING TO THE SECTION ON DRAWINGS, IT WILL BE FOUND THAT THE DISC CONTACTOR STAR IS TAPERED. THIS DESIGN WAS CONCEIVED AS A MEANS TO GOVERN AND/OR ALTER THE DUTY CYCLE, WHICH ALSO GIVES THE MEANS OF VARYING SPEED, CURRENT AND TORQUE DUTY CYCLE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE A DUTY CYCLE BE APPLIED, AS THE MACHINE EFFICIENCY CAN BE MADE TO VARY SUBSTANTIALLY BY THE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENT OF SAME. AS POINTED OUT ELSEWHERE IN THE CHAPTER ON "GENERALISED DESCRIPTION OF THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR", THE INPUT POWER AND CONSEQUENT EFFICIENCY VARIES AS DOES THE ‘DUTY CYCLE PULSE’, VIZ., THE LOWER THE DUTY CYCLE THE LOWER THE INPUT CURRENT, THE GREATER THE TORQUE AND THE GREATER THE EFFICIENCY. EVERY ENDEAVOUR SHOULD BE MADE TO KEEP THE DUTY CYCLE FIGURE LOW, PREFERABLY BELOW .75; AROUND THE ORDER OF .25 1S IDEAL. POINTS IT WILL BE FOUND, UPON ADJUSTING THE POSITIONING OF THE POINTS ON THE STAR CONTACTOR DISC, THE AFOREMENTIONED PARAMETERS WILL ALL VARY, AS OUTLINED ABOVE, AND ADJUSTMENT SHOULD BE MADE FOR OPTIMUM OPERATIONAL RESULTS, BEARING IN MIND, AT ALL TIMES, THE DESIRABILITY OF A LOW DUTY CYCLE FIGURE. IF THERE IS DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING A LOW DUTY CYCLE FIGURE, THEN YOUR STAR CONTACTOR DISC NEEDS RE-DESIGNING. THE POINTS MUST, OF COURSE, BE CHOSEN TO CARRY THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF CURRENT AND THE CORRECT PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED. IF EXCESSIVE SPARKING OCCURS AT THE POINTS, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. TURN OFF YOUR MACHINE IMMEDIATELY, AS EXCESSIVE SPARKING WILL DAMAGE THE FACE OF THE CONTACTOR DISC AND THE POINTS THEMSELVES. THE MOST LIXELY CAUSE OF SPARKING WOULD BE THE MALADJUSTMENT OF THE POINTS IN RELATION TO THE CONTACTOR DISC AND/OR THE GEOMETRIC POSITIONS OF THE MAGNETS. THE SMALLER POINTS FOUND ON THE RELAYS ARE EXCELLENT FOR UP TO 0.1 AMP CONTINUOUS RATING; THOSE RELAYS WITH THE LARGER SPRING-SET POINTS ARE EXCELLENT FOR UP TO 2 AMP CONTINUOUS RATING. INITIALLY, DON'T SPEND TIME IN PROVIDING A START WINDING. IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO GIVE THE SHAFT A QUICK TURN BY HAND AND SHE WILL START IMMEDIATELY. DUTY CYCLE CALCULATION IT IS FIRST NECESSARY TO REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS 1 - 4 HEADED "HOW TO CALCULATE THE D.C. PULSE TIMING OF THE STATOR COILS ON THE MOTOR GENERATOR". TO CALCULATE THE DUTY CYCLE YOU WILL, OF COURSE, REQUIRE THE USE OF AN OSCILLOSCOPE TO. MEASURE THE MARK TO SPACE RATIO; THE FIGURE. ASCERTAINED IS ALWAYS A DECIMAL THE. ACTUAL DUTY CYCLE EQUATION IS DESCRIBED, TOGETHER WITH AN EXAMPLE, IN THE SECTION HEADED "INSTRUMENTATION AND TEST PROCEDURE - INPUT POWER EQUATION". TEMPERATURE THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR RUNS VERY COOL COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL MACHINES, AS MENTIONED ELSEWHERE. HOWEVER, A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF EFFICIENCY OF THE ADAMS MACHINE IS TO FEEL THE DRIVE WINDINGS BY HAND AFTER 15 MINUTES RUNNING. IF IT IS NOT HOT THEN IT'S EFFICIENCY WILL BE HIGH. REMEMBER, AS MENTIONED ELSEWHERE, WITH CONVENTIONAL MACHINES, AFTER 15 MINUTES RUNNING, THE WINDINGS ARE AT BOILING POINT. BETTER IF YOU HAVE A DIGITAL THERMOMETER AND USE AS DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION ON ILLUSTRATIONS. FOR THE PROCEDURE TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE, REFER TO THE SECTION HEADED "GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING PROCEDURES OF THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR - FOR EFFICIENCY TESTING". INSTRUMENTATION AND TEST PROCEDURES CARE MUST BE EXERCISED IN MEASURING CURRENT INPUT IF USING DIGITAL MULTIMETERS; IT IS NECESSARY TO ASCERTAIN THE INTERNAL DISSIPATION LOSS - THIS CAN BE AS HIGH AS 20% AND MUST BE CALCULATED ACCURATELY AND THEN SUBTRACTED FROM CALCULATED INPUT CURRENT. SOLID STATE SWITCHING IF USING SOLID STATE SWITCHING AND YOU DESIRE AN EFFICIENCY CHECK; THE DISSIPATION LOSS IN THE SWITCHING DEVICE MUST BE CALCULATED AND SUBTRACTED FROM THE CALCULATED INPUT POWER TO OBTAIN TRUE MACHINE INPUT POW BUILDING MOTOR GENERATOR WHEN BUILDING THE MACHINE AS A MOTOR GENERATOR, ADVANTAGE IS TO BE TAKEN OF THE FACT THAT THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, UNLIKE A CONVENTIONAL MOTOR GENERATOR.,(I.E., THE MOTOR AND GENERATOR ARE SEPERATE ENTITIES AND, ALTHOUGH ON A&°COMMON’ SHAFT, REMAIN NONETHELESS TWO SEPARATE MACHINES) IN THE ADAMS MOTOR GENERATOR THIS IS NOT SO. IN THE ADAMS MACHINE, THE SAME ROTOR THAT DRIVES THE MOTOR IS ALSO THE GENERATOR ROTOR, SIMPLY MOUNT THE (OUTPUT) GENERATOR WINDINGS BETWEEN THE STATOR WINDINGS AND YOU HAVE A VERY SIMPLE COMPACT AND HIGHLY EFFICIENT MACHINE, WHICH LENDS ITSELF TO A VERY HIGH COST-EFFICIENT UNIT FOR MASS PRODUCTION, SURPASSING BY 100 YEARS UNITS LIKE NEWMAN'S, ECKLIN'S AND MANY OTHERS IN THE PIPELINE. ER CONSIDERABLE DEVELOPMENT WORK, T GNETIC EFFECT PRODUCED IN THE STALLOY STACKED GENERATING POLE WINDINGS OCCURRED WHEN THE DIMENSION OF THE MATING END OF THE STACKS WERE FOUR TIMES GREATER IY AREA THAN THE ROTOR MAGNET"S POLE A ‘ CE THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE MACHINE INCORPORATES TH ED RATIO OF ONE TO Four. (THE ADAMS EQUATION, AS AP tees ONLY TO THE ADAMS MACHINE). DBACK, PRODUCED BY THE OUTPUT GENERATING COIL, ARITY REVERSAL NORMALLY RESULTING IN LaRG T LOSSzS IY CO TIONAL MACHINES, BUT, IN THE ADAMS IT IS HARNESSED TO DEVELOP FURTHER ADDITIONAL TORQUE TO THE MAGNETIC ROTOR. THE LARGER THE OU GENERATING COILS THE GREATER THE TORQUE DELIVERED TO THE ROTOR. TEERE IS NO POWER FACTOR LOSS BECAUSE THE IN A CONDITION OF RESONANCE. THEREFORE, LOSS IS ZERO. 15TH OCTOBER 1992: ROBERT ADAMS, NEW NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT SUPERCEDES THE DOCUMENT RELATING TO THIS DATA, DATED 14TH OCTOBER, 1992. ROTOR, WHEN BUILDING YOUR ROTOR IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO "FILL" THE 90° GAPS BETWEEN THE 4 POLES; CUT THE TWO CLAMPING DISCS EXACTLY THE DIAMETER OF THE CROSSED MAGNETS. AFTER SEALING TOGETHER, FILL THE GAPS, MAKING SURE YOU HAVE A SYMETRICAL AND SMOOTH FINISH AROUND THE PERIMETER. THIS PROCEDURE IS VERY DESIRABLE AS, LEFT WITHOUT THIS TOTAL ENCLOSURE, THE LOSS OF ENERGY, DUE TO WINDAGE, IS QUITE HIGH AND MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. — GENERATOR WINDINGS ABOUT GENERATOR WINDINGS, IF YOU HAVE A TRANSFORMER MANUFACTURER IN YOUR AREA, CALL ON THEM AND TELL THEM YOUR REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT TELLING THEM WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT. THEY SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF DIFFERENT SIZED STALLOY LAMINATIONS. CHOOSE WISELY THE APPROPRIATE SIZED "I" SECTION LAMINATION. THEY WILL, OR SHOULD HAVE, A COIL FORMER WHICH FITS IT PERFECTLY. IT Is THEN ONLY A METTER OF THEM PUTTING THE WINDING ON THE FORMER. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET DELIVER THE SAME DAY. MOST OF MY WINDINGS FOR THE GENERATOR SECTION WERE DESIGNED FOR AROUND THE 100v REGION. MANUAL 4 LOT OF VALUABLE INFORMATION IS CONTAINED IN THE MACHINE MANUAL TO ASSIST EXPERIMENTERS AND RESEARCHERS ALIKE TO BUILD ONE OR MORE OF THE VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE MACHINE. I HAVE BUILT A NUMBER OF VERSIONS BUT OTHERS ARE POSSIBLE (SEE ON CIRCUITS). ALSO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEMS WHICH MAY BE EMPLOYED FROM WHICH 100%+ RESULTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE.
