“Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ update


I finally finished grinding down my N35 NdFeB magnets. They were 59 mils thick, but my bearing is only 47 mils thick. So I decided to *slowly* grind the magnets down. It’s very important not to heat the magnets up. This removed the zinc coating plus a bit of NdFeB material. So all 8 of my magnets are now down. Removing the Zinc coating also reduces the eddy currents since the electrical resistivity of zinc is 29 times less than NdFeB. Another advantage is the the Zinc has weight, but does not help increase the magnetic field. Actually, eddy currents can significantly decrease the magnetic field for a short period of time as the magnet moves toward the toroid. Lets just hope that the excess energy effect does not rely upon eddy currents.

Each magnet used to weight 0.32 grams. Now each magnet weighs 0.26 grams. Total weight loss was 19%. I’m using a LanteScale, part number MH-200. Full scale is 200g. Resolution is 0.01 grams. Very nice digital scale, and it cost $14 bran new, that includes S&H. This ultra sensitive scale will help the “Tiny Orbo Replication” be more balanced. I slowly ground each magnet till it was 0.26 grams.

Again, great source for magnets


Wow, I’m impressed with www.supermagnetman.net.  I ordered a truck load of N52 & N50 magnets. Hey, why not, I’m already in debt. ;-)   The S&H was a bit over $11, which did not seem bad at all considering what I ordered– see list below. The owner of supermagnetman.net just sent me an email saying my paypal account was refunded $5.70 because the shipping charges was less. I think the package did not make it into the next weight category. What a nice guy! He’s also a specialist in magnets. Also, he shipped my package on the same day I placed my order. BTW, I have absolutely no affiliation with www.supermagnetman.net. Just thought I’d pass on the good source.

Removing grease from bearings


I just received a reply from Boca Bearings. They said the casing does *not* need to be removed in order to remove the grease. They said just soak the bearing in paint thinner for a few hours, and then blow compressed air through the bearing.

N52 source of magnets


Someone recommended this place to buy magnets,

http://www.supermagnetman.net

So I just bought a bunch of N52 and N50 NdFeB magnets, various sizes and shapes. Oh how I just LOVE magnets. :-D

Okay, now it’s time to start building the “Tiny Orbo Replication 3,” the self-runner.

Suppressing technology


It’s been an ongoing issue repairing my websites from hacks ever since I made a huge breakthrough in my magnetic research. Coincidence?

Anyhow, yet one more time I fixed the Subscription hack, so hopefully you received an email yesterday and today outlining the new blog posts. It was a clear hack, but now that I’m on to it, all I have to do is re-upload the php source code, thus overwriting their hacked code, and the Subscriptions work again. Please let me know if you are not receiving your email subscriptions.

Also, after I announced, yesterday, that I will build the self-running “Tiny Orbo Replication 3,” I’ve been getting some unusual emails. It’s best that I do not go into details.

“Tiny Orbo Replication” MOSFET driver


Regarding the “Tiny Orbo Replication” circuit,

I am not recommending the LTC4446 since it’s consumes a lot of power as far as high-low side MOSFET drivers are concerned. I used it in my LTspice simulations because it’s the only high-low side MOSFET driver model I have for LTspice. Please find a high-low side MOSFET driver that consumes low power. Next time I come across a low power high-low side MOSFET driver, I’ll post it.

“Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ design details


As it stands, here’s the design details for the “Tiny Orbo Replication 3.”

The disc will be made of 9mil thick transparent hard plastic, and about 1″ OD. It will have two of these plastic disc, where the magnets will be encased inside / in-between both plastic discs to significantly reduce air drag.

It will have either 8 or 16 N35 NdFeB magnets that are 6mm OD and 1.5mm thick. I would recommend the strongest NdFeB magnets you can get; e.g., N50. If I use 16, then I’ll merely place two magnets together to make it 3mm thick.

It will have 16 Metglas MAGAMP cores, MP1303P4AS, two on each side of the disc such that there will be two toroids per magnet. :-D   The windings will be 26 AWG copper magnetic wire. Either 2 or 3 layers.

It will use a tiny ceramic bearing bought from bocabearings.com, part number MR681XC, 1.5mm ID, 4mm OD, 1.2mm wide.

The plastic discs will slip on the bearing, and will be lightly glued in a few very tiny spots to keep it from sliding sideways. The “Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ will be situated like a ferris wheel –>

Eventually it might have a thin outer rim to further reduce air drag.

The circuit used for the “Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ will be the following, except temporarily I’ll be using a custom Metglas transformer instead of the LTC4446.

Normally I’ve used a Hall effect switch for the timing, but that may not be possible if all of the magnets are covered by toroids at TDC. If it takes that many toroids to make this self-run, then I’ll have to use either a pick-up coil of sorts or an optical switch.

There will be pickup coils, at least two, one for each capacitor to make a self-runner.

Building “Tiny Orbo Replication 3″


Regarding my old magnetic designs, it just occurred to me that placing the two cores closer together is not necessarily a good thing in terms of excess energy. Then I took a look at my old designs, and sure enough, there’s a gap between the two cores, as you can see,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PaulLowrance#Nine_Excess_Energy_designs

I’ve forgotten a lot of the details about my magnetic research. Since it will take a lot of time recalling / relearning all of the details, I’ve decided to build the “Tiny Orbo Replication 3,” the self-runner, and get it over with.

“Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ will be a self-runner. Although that doesn’t mean as much to me anymore, after seeing the excess energy in the scope readings for the “Tiny Orbo Replication 1,”  and not to mention seeing highly shielded passive piezos flash LED’s, and witnessing ridiculously highly shielded passive diodes far out in the desert in countless locations, including under ground, produce DC current and voltage.

Don’t get me wrong, it will send chills up my back to see a self-running “Orbo Replication” that’s operating on relatively small capacitors, but it will be no surprise. A lot of people have asked me when I’m going to build “Tiny Orbo Replication 3.”   Since I’m frustrated with my solid-state designs in that’s it’s going to take a ton of experiments and fine-tuning, I’ll take a breather and build the self-running “Tiny Orbo Replication 3.”

You’ll see. The “Tiny Orbo Replication 3″ will work, it will self-run, it will not require deep batteries, just small capacitors, and it will use ball bearings, not fancy magnetic bearings! I’m just surprised nobody has done it by now. Folk’s, it is not difficult. The “Tiny Orbo Replication 1″ should have been self-running over a month ago, but it was never completed. All it needed was eight toroids, but I only wound one toroid.

Here we go!

Lowrance device update


For lack of a name, for now I’ll refer to my old solid-state magnetic design as the Lowrance device.

After applying a thin coat of Liquid Paper on the Metglas MAGAMP core, MP1903P4AS, I did a permeability comparison. The permeability experiment consists of a soft ferrite C shaped core with about 18 turns. The inductance is measured. The I place a MP1903P4AS Metglas MAGAMP toroid core underneath the C shaped core to see the change in inductance. The difference in inductance is the change in effective permeability.

The above permeability experiment was done twice. One with a MP1903P4AS toroid that has a thin coating of Liquid Paper. This experiment was repeated, except a MP1903P4AS toroid without Liquid Paper was used. The MP1903P4AS Liquid Paper core had a permeability difference of 3.1 to 1. The MP1903P4AS without Liquid Paper core had a permeability difference of 10 to 1.

So, even a thin coating of Liquid Paper makes a huge difference, but that’s not unexpected since it’s well known that air gap distance makes a huge difference in effective permeability.

If I use the MP1903P4AS and C shaped soft ferrite cores for the Lowrance device, I’ll use the core without Liquid Paper, which will be a pain in the butt to wind.  :cry:

Winding Metglas cores


Some time ago I blogged about how to remove the Metglas core from the plastic casing to save space. For the smaller cores such as the MP1303P4AS, you can save a lot of space, ~ 1.8 times less resistance for the 1st winding layer. The problem is that it’s difficult to wind the cores without scraping the wire enamel off, and thus shorting to the core. The Metglas material is razor sharp. It’s doable, but the wire cannot be scraped along. I solved this difficulty by applying a thin coating of Liquid Paper on the core. This makes the core a bit thicker, but it’s now extremely easy to wind the core.
