Bob Teal influence

Bob Teal’s interview influenced me from the time I got it about 7 years ago or so. I didn’t know who it was since I couldn’t make out his name. He talked about collapsing mag fields, etc… and I thought his machine was like a giant school girl motor.

I didn’t really know the difference between cemf and the collapsed field. That interview influenced how I saw John’s machines and especially the original dual battery charger. Instead of 3 wires wrapped the same (trifilar), I wound trigger and power one way and the 3rd wire reversed. I thought that is what the dot at the bottom of the 3rd wire represented. I thought that meant that the wire was reversed to siphon off the cemf to the caps so therefore no cemf and also it was wrapped in the backwards so that it would be in line with the collapse field.

I always got interesting results with the first 2 dual batt chargers with the mechanical pulley, etc… Used to charge large cap banks of several hundred thousand uf’s and charge batts with it on a mechanical pulley switch that was a unique design that I invented and these batts would continue to charge for 45 minutes to 1 hour after I turned the power off! And yes, they would peform work. Enough work that I could put the batts in my electric scooter and head down to John’s shop a few hundred yards down the street and back JFun!

I could light bulbs from the cap on the output, increasing work pulling from the whole system and the input amps would not change.

Anyway, just interesting how this all came back around on the Teal stuff not even knowing the name Bob Teal for about a month now.

Oh well, now I know they are different machines for different purposes. I didn’t pay that close attention to what Bob Teal was saying in the interview and didn’t make it out that they were solenoids basically.

If I were to build a solenoid version of these motors, I would use a Scottish Yoke like in the Bourke Engine. I think that would further increase the efficiency of transferring solenoid action to crankshaft turning a rotor. No connecting rods and fewer moving parts.
