Maybe this will help. Or if that doesn't help, just maybe this will help. Regards, Marathonman

Found some rollers for drawers that i will use to guide the wire as it comes off the spool. it will aide the rewinding of part G along with metal clamps to rotate the upper half of the core. winding's will be much tighter this time along with more inductance. i will post pics when i begin and finish the winding phase.
Regards, Marathonman

Unable to finish core because of someone having a Corporate episode at the ranch so i had to go into town ruining my day off. i did though manage to strip the core with very little damage. small prepping on the core and winding guides to get the winding done. Regards, Marathonman

Hello to all builders of the figuera generator. happy new year to all and may it be better than 2020 cause covid19. today 03/01/2021 I am again on these pages carlo salute circular. Here, reading and re-reading the figuera patent, I notice that when it talks about the commutator bars I see from some of your photos of the same that you have posted, I wonder how important the thickness of these bars is in relation to the rotation frequency of the brush brush. I mean what can change with the greater or lesser thickness maybe the timing what changes for the operation the voltage or the current or both. In fact I am in the construction phase of the horizontal rotary switch and I have to evaluate the thickness of the bars. I chose 10 mm large and ask for advice if possible because I believe that the switch is a very important basic part of the system because it regulates the frequency current to the primary. here I thank all the manufacturers if you want to help me understand, moreover the horizontal commutator is basic for an excellent functioning of the brush and for the tuning and its robustness is necessary, as up to now I can not get up in frequency and not only the brushes they break or stop doing their job by increasing the rotation speed

Sorry all as i have been swamped at the farm.
Carlo, can you please post Graph or picture of what you mean concerning your description. i am having a hard time visualizing. remember it is the rotation of the brush that dictated the frequency of the AC output.
Happy new year everyone. Regards, Marathonman

19.52 03/01/2021 carlo hello marathon here I mean this the photo or diagram that I posted on page 14 on 31/08/2020 of the switch I intend to build it in a similar way. I ask this about the horizontal thickness of the bar and critical x whether it works or not. I repeat, I am building it with 19 bars of 10 mm horizontal thickness each. here's this and what o tried to ask i hope i was quite thorough thanks marathon

Carlo;
The only one that posted on 8 31 2020 page 14 was myself and i can not find any such drawing you posted.? Regards, Marathonman

Been having major issues with C core from BridgePort Magnetics. it is delaminating so i had to repair it again and is drying as i speak. accidently grounded my motor controller on the aluminum frame of the controller and of course it burnt out. i ordered another controller and mounted it already, works great. had to custom shape a guide piece to glue to the C core as a guide for the wire to be straight on the core. it will be glued into place when i am ready to wire the core. this piece is so i can get the wire straight and also avoid the issue of the wire spreading out like last time i compressed the wire to epoxy to the core before machining flat.
I have been ridiculously busy with getting the ranch infastructure in place to be self sustaining and had to demand a day off, so tired. Sorry for the lack of posting and progress.
Regards, Marathonman

I must apologize to everyone for my absence. the farm has been so much overwhelming work wise i just can not believe it. i have gotten a ton of things done and a ton more to do. our 10,000 gal tank came in for the garden so now we have to pipe it in to the existing piping. the seeding area is finished as are the shelves sealing so now the other 3,000 gal tank is coming i will have to plumb that to the green house. we even have one 2,500 gal coming for the AirBnB house and that to has to be tired to the rain gutters. that's not all, i am seeding vegetables for the garden this week plus we are gearing up for the planting of the pasture with a multi 7 seed mix in three weeks so trying to squeeze time in for the device is really tuff. oh i almost forgot, the garden second half has to be planted with a three seed mix of medium red, crimson clover and one other cover crop i can't remember right now. so tired.
all the prep work is done on my C core and is ready to rewind just finding the time is another thing. after the main crops are done i will have much more time on my hands. will wind the C this week end.
Regards, Marathonman

carlo constructor figuera 10/02/2021 13.40
good morning to all builders on chapter 17/17 the figure of part g whose winding is wrapped as per drawing in a left way to give opposite north north fields but then I read in the description part g of the 12 pages number 1 which must be wound clockwise right so I go into confusion but I still remain of your opinion that I have to test this work at the bench to understand how it works. Primaries must be wound according to left hand rule or right as the translation is not so clear. As soon as I am able I put photos of part G and primaries currently or made by recycling an old transformation so I share my works with other manufacturers hoping that sharing will bear positive results because I believe that there are great possibilities for this generator. if possible to the talked about the original replicator there is other news? Also when the system works for example the circulating amperes in the circuit, as the external power supply decreases, what happens is unchanged x having references to be taken into consideration. I greet all the builders in particular Marathonman Carlo

Greetings Carlo, Fellow replicators, readers and followers,
Much apologies for my absence, the ranch is becoming overbearing with to much to do for one able bodied person. i have presently 8 to 10 projects that need all my attention as does the immediate and continuous greenhouse growing.
Carlo, the clockwise or counter clockwise is just the frame of reference as to the end you are working from. if you start on the left side to the right as in set N you will be winding counter clockwise over the top and around the bottom. if you are starting on the right side to the left as in set S then you will be winding clockwise under the bottom up to and over the top. point your left hand thumb in the direction of the current running from negative to positive which gives your magnetic field a counter clockwise rotation.
remember the primaries are NOT wound according to present day teaching that resistance controls the flow of current through the primaries. this is not what we want, we need to wind them SPECIFICALLY as electromagnets to attain the highest, most intense field as possible. this can be accomplished with parallel winding's to reduce the self inductance and resistance decreasing the time constant. according to a early magnetics 1900 book i read, it had stated that a rising and falling parallel winding electromagnet decreased to 1/3 rd the speed as series winding which substantiates what i have been saying all along. when i get time i will post this information and the graph associated with it.
as for the original replicator, he unfortunately is in a fight for his life with cancer and as such has gone silent. he also had a visit from MIB inwhich he has a family to protect. i spoke to him months back and this is what was reveled to me. i pressed no further on the Figuera subject yet i do have all the conversations between us in word or PDF.
Part G being an active inductor not only controls the current flow of two independent feeds in complete unison, it also stores and releases the reduced potentials into the system as does the reducing primaries. what that means is the exciting side of the system recirculates the potential releases into the system and it is the secondary feedback that replaces losses in the system and give rise to amplification to the rising primaries which is basically replacing the reducing side potential from sweeping to the high side. it compensates for the reduction by allowing the rising primaries more current flow then normal. this is what part G does and is called forward biasing by increasing the voltage in the system which then allows more current to flow in the rising primaries as it has less inductance then that of the reducing primaries.(opposition to current flow)
even if the starting supply is still attached it will NOT be used because the potential in the exciting side will have risen upwards of 140 volts which is the forward biasing at work in part G. remember Figuera device is no different then a standard generator which does the same thing but without an AVR. part G's core saturation controls the peak the generator will put out.
please remember this is a generator that uses opposing primaries so the draw to feed them is reduced to just the I2R losses. this is NOT a transformer that kills the supply when a load is present, ie... sharing one magnetic path continuously.
PS. Carlo you will be moved to builder status.
Regards Carlo and fellow enthousiast,
Marathonman

Completely snowed in here and why I have not posted. Quick post from phone as everything is down and or trying to keep from freezing. Will post pics and will continue sometime next week. Marathonman

Getting back in the groove. will be jumping on the rewiring of part G and hopefully testing out some electronics to boot. i will post pics if news is worthy. regards, Marathonman

according to EEweb rectangle loop inductance calc tool i had .0754 H inductance on my last wind job on part G and is no wonder i only had slight flickering lights. this is way, way to little of inductance and i should have known better and spent more time on it. for this unbelievable blunder i am truly sorry. according to the calc tool my rewind should give me right at .4 H inductance which is right where i needed to be in the first place. if these figures are correct and the test prove it's accuracy then this tool will be a great addition to all builders looking to replicate part G.

Absolutely swamped at the ranch, i have not had a day off in 10 days so every project i have is on hold. i will inform when i make headway on part G.
Sorry folks. Regards, Marathonman
