I'm at a point with my generator where I've joined enough dots and the bigger picture is starting to emerge.
It all starts with the gyroscope. Joseph Newman absolutely nailed it when he correlated directional force on a gyroscope with the direction of current flow from an inductor as a mechanical function.
The significance of this is fundamental. Take a gyroscope as shown. With the rotor spinning anticlockwise (looking downward on it), rotate the gymbal clockwise. Why does it suddenly want to flip? And once flipped, you can spin it as fast as you want and it will never flip back, until you rotate the gymbal anticlockwise. Immediately the gyroscope will want to flip back. Interestingly, the faster you spin the gymble, the quicker you'll find the tipping point - but, you can rotate slowly enough (with the gyro spinning 10-12k) and not find the tipping point. There is a field that comes into being, and exists as a result of high speed rotation. Every atom in existence has the same gyroscopic field...
This field can be seen as a mechanical representation of Lenz in a single direction.
A magnet or electromagnet comprises two of these fields, because a magnetic field has both polarities at each pole (the dominant North becomes the North pole - as per Howard Johnson).
So now we better understand WHAT Lenz is. A barrier between higher and lower density energy as a result of induction.
Now to learn WHY Lenz is.
Casual mid post disclaimer - if anything, I'm wiriting this to find any holes in what I've learnt as a result of observing. And I could well have got it all wrong.
What is the first thing that occurs when a magnet approaches a cored coil? Pressure. What does pressure do? It moves things...
After everything I've acheived with my pulse motor, I still hadn't pulled out very much current. (Having said that, I made the concious decision not to mechanically switch +550V at very close proximity to Neo magnets - emulating Adams, as I had a bad experience doing so at only +300V).
So I can do pressure.
This is where it gets more difficult to explain.
We know there are fields rotating around a gyroscope, so we know there are rotating fields around a magnet (emanating from the bloch wall) - how does a coil that has just become an electromagnet deal with these rotating fields? If you're a little confused, re-read from the top or go and play with a gyroscope for a while and get the 'feel' of them... just as much fun as magnets.
Generator lag occurs at 90 degrees from the rotor is the first clue. Why 90 degrees?
This is where the pieces start to come together. As it is in a magnet, the two rotating fields around a coil exist to equalise anything that might be happening to the coil. Like throwing a magnet at it to induce current. So these two rotating fields - they spin counterclockwise looking down on the coil and spin opposite each other (like North and South, but rotating horizontally) As a magnet induces a coil, the pressure of the flux on the copper electrons causes a blockage of sorts as they resist the flux change - the rotating fields also don't like pressure and move 90 degrees either side of the oncoming flux pressure as they also need to be balanced.
The magnet now has the first half of the sine wave at max. Why does it then recede? Has the magnet stopped moving? Nope. Has the magnet stopped being able to push the initial electrons forward because at the center of the coil, the magnet is now at 90 degrees to where the rotating field had moved to, and can't push it forward anymore? Yes!! Remember what Newman showed - it is all mechanical.
So what's the fix? This is where Al Hubbard (and Tesla) come in to finish.
Putting a coil at the 90 degree mark of a primary, makes the exact same situation above happen again! Guided by Newman, and knowing that a coil induced by a field will rotate 90 degrees to equalise pressure / resist change - this is equivalent to two rotors with North facing each other and pushing away from each other - to continue the moving of the flux around the coil as the magnet passes over. So that is moving past 90 degrees to 180 degrees. I need to flip flop as the magnet is only moving in one direction, so a coil on the other side of a primary wil help that flux move the other 180 degrees around the coil.
Hubbard worked this out, and had 8 coils interacting with a central coil. Exactly the same as an alternator, whereby a constant feed is given to create a central rotating field - but in this case the field keeps moving as the surrounding coils 'mechanically' interact and constantly drive it resulting in huge current in the center as the flux is always moving. Additionally, the secondaries have a secondary winding (just like a spark plug), so that a trine of frequencies can go through a Fourier transform and become a square wave that keeps it going indefinitely.
Much more to come...
