Tesla Technology : The Faraday-Tesla-Clark High Current D.C. Generator
|
|
by Richard L. Clark
|
|
|
|
In the theories and discoveries of Faraday there is a well-known device called
|
|
the Farady Unipolar Generator. This generator system's theory and
|
|
construction design is carried in most standard Physics and Electrical
|
|
Engineering texts and handbooks. The models and designs shown are in fact a
|
|
later Tesla improved design of the basic system.
|
|
|
|
The basic disc rotating in a magnetic field to produce an extremely high
|
|
current, low voltage direct current is standard technology. The Faraday
|
|
Unipolar Generator is also a standard Faraday Unipolar Motor.
|
|
|
|
If you turn the disc mechanically, the disc rotating in the fixed, parallel to
|
|
rotation, magnetic field causes a direct current of high current and low
|
|
voltage to appear at the two output terminals.
|
|
|
|
But conversely, if you apply a high current, low voltage direct current to the
|
|
output terminals of this same unit, it will rotate mechanically as a motor via
|
|
the disc being a conductor in the magnetic field. So much for the present
|
|
theory and design as accepted by all standards and professionals currently.
|
|
|
|
The Clark modification to the Faraday Unipolar Generator-Motor will now be
|
|
outlined. The previously fixed permanent magnets, or electromagnets, that
|
|
formed the magnetic field for the Faraday Generator-Motor are now attached to
|
|
the disc itself as a part of the rotating element. Now the Faraday design is
|
|
only a generator and NOT a motor. A voltage and current across the output
|
|
terminals does NOTHING but see a nearly dead short, and therefore, it is no
|
|
longer a motor at all.
|
|
|
|
But when the disc is rotated mechanically it is still a generator unit of very
|
|
high current and low voltage direct current as previously designed by Faraday.
|
|
|
|
The GAIN from this modification is that the output load does NOT put a motor
|
|
type drag on the disc drive element as the load current INCREASES. Thus, the
|
|
rotational drive force for rotation of the disc is CONSTANT, without regard to
|
|
current drawn by the generator output load. The Clark modified Faraday
|
|
Generator can therefore EXCEED 100% input power to output power efficiencies,
|
|
producing "free energy". So much for Lenz's Law and back EMF problems.
|
|
|
|
The best unit would be a Faraday-Motor driving a Clark Modified Faraday
|
|
Generator Unit. This is because of the IDENTICAL current and voltage
|
|
requirements of these two systems on a common shaft drive design.
|
|
|
|
To start this unit a simple pull-rope could be used to rotate the system
|
|
initially. Once turning, the generator outputs and drives the motor, which
|
|
turns the generator, bootstrapping up to the controlled speed regulation
|
|
point. Then the surplus generator output, above motor running power, is
|
|
available to run external power needs - lights, motors, etc.
|
|
|
|
Since this is a high current, low voltage direct current generator system, an
|
|
inverter unit is necessary to convert the direct current output into
|
|
alternating current of 60Hz and 115 volts for standard household utility.
|
|
|
|
Should the reader wish to build a small working model of this Clark Modified
|
|
Faraday Generator, the brief plans will be given:
|
|
|
|
On a six-inch long, 3/8 inch diameter brass or copper rod,
|
|
place a copper or brass washer of 3 to 6 cm diameter, about 1/8 inch thick.
|
|
|
|
Obtain 6 to 8 radio store ceramic toroid magnets for about 25 cents each,
|
|
giving you a 2,000 or 3,000 Gauss magnetic stack.
|
|
|
|
Place all these magnets in a stack, north pole up.
|
|
|
|
Place 4 of these magnets on the rod below the copper or brass washer and the
|
|
other 4 on top of the washer.
|
|
|
|
All polarities of the magnets MUST face toward the same end of the rod,.
|
|
|
|
Now rotate the rod, north magnetic and clockwise, in an electric drill or
|
|
lathe chuck.
|
|
|
|
Using a sensitive voltage-current meter, the output can be read between the
|
|
outer edge of the disc and the center of the rod.
|
|
|
|
The formula for this device is:
|
|
E out = disc area in cm(2) X gauss of magnets
|
|
X revolutions per second of the disc X 10(-8).
|
|
(cm(2) is cm squared and 10(-8) is 10 to the negative 8th)
|
|
|
|
Great care should be observed in balancing and handling of this flywheel
|
|
device at high speeds. The gains in larger design models are in the disc
|
|
(flywheel) radius by the SQUARES, and only linear for Gauss and rotational
|
|
velocity. Therefore, new designs need large radius discs as the primary
|
|
optionizing model parameter.
|
|
|
|
The units can be linked in series to raise the ouput voltage level. Be very
|
|
careful on all wiring terminations to minimize resistance.
|
|
|
|
Copies of this paper and the proper submission forms have been sent to the
|
|
Energy-Related Inventions Office of the National Bureau of Standards and other
|
|
Federal Government officials. Copies are also being sent to all of the
|
|
newsletters of the free-energy and clean-energy movement for consideration for
|
|
their publications. I am going to develop and market these clean, fuel-free
|
|
generator systems for American consumers at the most reasonable prices
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
Other applications of this Clark-Modified Faraday Generator system would be to
|
|
propel electric automobiles without the heavy and costly batteries. Small
|
|
aircraft and boats can also be built or modified to use this new power system.
|
|
Also, using the known Townsend Effect, a LIFT type of airframe, like a "flying
|
|
saucer" can be built based on this new generator as a polarized capacitor and
|
|
flywheel inertia system.

The Faraday Unipolar Generator
|
|
(excerpted from Towards a New Electromagnetic Reality - Part 1 of 3
|
|
by Donald Reed of Tachion Energy Research, Box 192, South Wales, NY 14134))
|
|
|
|
Perhaps one of the earliest observations of an electromagnetic enigma, was
|
|
noted by Michael Faraday in 1831. He discovered that a rotating magnetized
|
|
conductor, with axis of rotation passing through the magnetic poles, could act
|
|
as an electrical generator with voltage developed between the point of the
|
|
axis of rotation and the outer periphery of the rotating magnets. This he
|
|
called a homopolar or unipolar generator.
|
|
|
|
Now, up to Faraday's time, it had been assumed that a magnet moving in any
|
|
manner CARRIED ITS FIELD ALONG WITH IT. But in that case, contrary to
|
|
Faraday's experimental results, no voltage could be produced.
|
|
|
|
It thus became necessary for Faraday to postulate that the material of the
|
|
magnet moved through its magnetic field which, in itself, was not supposed to
|
|
be moved by the magnet generating it. (the field remains stationary!!)
|
|
|
|
Oddly enough, the controversy still rages today between proponents of the two
|
|
theories. In fact, no application of standard electromagnetic theory to date
|
|
has been able to resolve the question.
|
|
|
|
To make matters worse, even if one takes Faraday's position, assuming a
|
|
STATIONARY MAGNETIC FIELD, subsequent analysis shows that one branch of
|
|
electromagnetics, the Coulomb-Ampere law, predicts the observed voltage;
|
|
whereas Maxwell's equations show that NO POTENTIAL WILL EXIST.
|
|
|
|
If this weren't enough to lend mystery to the devices' operation, it has
|
|
recently been discovered by Bruce dePalma, over a century following Faraday,
|
|
that the unipolar generator, in a new embodiment he has called the N-Machine,
|
|
produces NO DRAG on the rotor system. This is contrary to the predictions of
|
|
Lenz' Law, one of the standard principles of electromagnetic induction.
|
|
|
|
(Lenz' law is the backward flowing electromotive force when the reverse
|
|
rotation of the shaft canses a reverse current flow, this reverse flow
|
|
collides with the forward moving current to create heating in the circuit
|
|
resulting in a significant reduction in efficiency)

|
|
Notes : 1) the shaft rotates freely in the center hole of the disc magnet
|
|
stacks and the washer, it DOES NOT TOUCH the magnets
|
|
2) Radio Shack sells a package of 5 disc magnets with a hole in the
|
|
center for $1.69
|
|
3) there is a limit to how many magnets you can stack before the
|
|
field strength begins to weaken, experiences with the TOMIBILD
|
|
circuit show that 10 of these disc magnets in a single stack is
|
|
about the best number to use and still have high field strength
|
|
4) remember Homopolar Generators produce high current, low voltage,
|
|
Tewari reports 1500 amps at 2 volts from his heavy duty units,
|
|
but you won't get anything like that from this small one
|
|
5) and keep in mind that heating occurs when the flow of direct
|
|
current is resisted, so keep your connections as solid and
|
|
secure as possible
|
|
6) the use of carbon contacts, held in a sleeve and with a flat
|
|
metal coil on the outside end to maintain pressure against the
|
|
rotating shaft are one of the most common methods to tap off the
|
|
current, though dePalma uses mercury in an enclosed plexiglas
|
|
chamber, if you choose to use mercury, make sure you have good
|
|
ventilation and use safe handling techniques
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
In bandying about some ideas on this with Chuck Henderson, he suggested using
|
|
a slot car motor, some of which run at 1.5 volts, others at 3 volts. The
|
|
motor will pull only the current it needs to sustain the load and could be
|
|
quick started with an outside battery source to achieve sufficient output to
|
|
begin producing current on its own.
|
|
|
|
DePalma and Tewari both note that they have never succeeded in folding the
|
|
output back to run the input. However, it might work by feeding a battery
|
|
or a battery network which THEN runs the motor.
|
|
|
|
In a lengthy private discussion with Dr. Tewari, he told some of our group
|
|
that he had developed an AC Homopolar generator, but had been using the DC
|
|
Homopolar unit's high current output to generate hydrogen from water. The
|
|
hydrogen gas was then burned for other uses.
|
|
|
|
We note that KeelyNetter Mike Randall reports voluminous hydrogen/oxygen
|
|
production (Brown's gas) using 30 amps at 2 volts in a 60 cycle pulsed mode.
|
|
Imagine what 1500 amps would yield. Tewari is using direct current at low
|
|
voltage to produce his gases.
|
|
|
|
Experiment with it and see what you can come up with. Just be very careful
|
|
when dealing with any circuits involving high currents or mercury!..>>> Jerry
