Got my magnets mounted on my AC motor rotor to convert it to a generator, used a bipolar arrangement, rotor completely covered with neo arc mags. The force to turn thru a field was enormous, could barely do it with my fingers. Hooked it up to both my unipolar bistator and quad stator GM motors, got it to turn over at about 1200 rpm at 12 v, taking some 17A! Good news motors did not burn up instantly

Some fantastic results!

So 1725 rpm * 2cycles per revolution = 3550 cycles per min ~= 60cps, (housepower) See the relationship to the stator and rotor geometry?
Setup using 2 unipolar motors to run the generator, Now gets 3200 rpm, on 12v, 11A. GETS 160vac!!!

IN order to power this setup I intend to hook up a variac to the AC-Gen output, run that thru two FWBRs into some large caps and back to the motor.s
Some Test results: couldnt push the single 400v/8A FWBR, load on system was going up to 15A (with battery in the system carrying load as I upped the variac power. Can't tell how much load was being taken off the battery. Doesnt seem to be a lot of extra energy floating around

about 17A going into motors, shared by battery and filtered FWBR. AC volts down to 83v. motor power side down to 11.11vdc. pull the battery everything stops.
UPDATE 8/16: Found a polarity issue, Getting huge difference!!
I had hooked the polarity up incorrectly and the motors were going in the wrong directtion!!! (These motors are tuned for a optimal amp draw in a preferred direction of rotation. When run the other way, they consume much more energy, just wasting it.) Amp drop huge when run in correct direction. When idling generator with the motors running on 12v, amperage was 10A before. Now ~2.5A. When using only one motor, the other without power becomes a dead load along with generator, and amp draw was about 5A. Hooked up second motor and total amp draw dropped to the 2.5A figure. I tried driving it with the variac-FWBR power supply and my single FWBR got hot fast. So I think if I try to run a full test it will blow. I think I need to double up on it, but will test what I can in the meantime...
WOW, in the hunt again

Now getting 160v on 11.5 UPS battery taking only the 2.5A @ 3070 rpm!!! Check at the top of this post, that used to be 10A!!!
Looks like I need to run at over 12.5v, when I start turning up the variac it will go over 8A and the AC voltage is dropping rapidly below 90v, and can't seem to get over the 11v figure. That will burn up the single 8A FWBR fursur. YUPP $2.99 up in smoke DOH!
