Here, i have built a generator stick, of sorts..a plastic tube with magnet wire wraped around the outside..and four of my 1/2'' dia. x 1/2'' magnets bouncing back and forth on the inside..
this one is something anyone could build..and experiment with
the first pic is the " rotor " above the 5 cent piece..above that is the middle of the shaker tube generator..
i got to thinking one day , that if i could increase the magnetic field that cuts the wire i could improve the output of the generator..so this is what i did..
From left to right , the poles on the magnets of the rotor are North south south north south north north south.. the two larger steel washers in the middle seperate the north north and the south south poles..and , because like poles repel i needed something to stick them to..not sure wether you can see but i have also cut four small slits in the two center washers which i wrapped wire around to keep the magnets centered because even though i filled the center of the washers with steel the little bit that gets out tends to push the magnets off center..
pic two is my new armature fixture for the generator i gave up on .. :roll:
between the duct tape and the play dough is resin curing to the exact shape i need to get it to work..
i took two pieces of copper sheet and bent the one around the inside of the old motor, the other i bent around the rotor from a little ways back..
i have 0.350 '' clearence , so i made the fixture 0.300 thick...
