wantomake,
Give me a few weeks and I can send you some stuff to put together the Tesla Switch. Gotta make sure mine has ALL the kinks worked out and then I am scaling up and you can have what I am working with now. I already have parts ordered. It will only give you about 40 watts, but your batteries will stay up.

The trick to scaling it up has been finding some latching relays that will switch 120+ volts DC to scale it up to what I want. THAT has taken a lot of phone calls and research. Found some that fit the bill perfectly, only they were $800 each, and that's miles outside my budget range. Finally have some the tech says will handle it, even though that info is not included in the spec sheet, but need to order one, test it, and order more before I can put something together and then test THAT to make sure it works. Don't want to give away what I HAVE until I get something better working.

Thanks Turion.
I'm still trying to get the rotor to work but it's difficult. Just wanted to stay busy in my shop even with the change of seasons here in South Carolina.

I've never seen any latching relays before. Looked them up and understand now. That's ok if one goes the relay way of building. I've built the relay setup with six relays before using Arduino as a controller. But the car relays were unreliable as they sometimes got stuck and didn't switch quick enough. Your car points idea seems like good idea. But I'm not convinced that high hertz switching is best to get "extra energy" because of my inability to achieve such.

As I've stated here many times, with only 4 marine 115 Ah batteries and limited resources it's difficult to try every variation of this TS.

I've tried a smaller version of the;
1) relay very fast switching (3 different versions)
2) DPDT manual switching
3) modified motor with voltage step up modules
I haven't tried a transformer setup yet. I found two 4 1/2 OD x 2 1/2 ID x 1 5/8" H toroids in my shop that Lawrence(who passed on) gave me. Been studying how to wind one of these to try out. Both toroids have a secondary AC winding on them.

Anyway just wanted to catch up a little here. It's good to see all those praying for BroMikey here. Believe what you pray and pray what you believe. God WILL answer!!!

Bro Mike is we to thank you for all the help you have always given us, for all the teachings and encouragement, even if we have never met, over the years with all the various comments and discussions, it is as if you become Friends, and now it's as sad as when a friend leaves us ....

BroMikey,

I am praying for you and your family.

I want to thank everyone for everything, for following along over the years and for those who post their devices. I am leaving this world due to blood cancer AML. Good by and most importantly I love you all.

I only have a few week left, my organs are being eaten alive. So long and keep up the adventure

Mr MIke, you surprised us with your comment.
I sent you a private message, I hope you read it and communicate,
I wish you blessings forever and ever

Please get someone to post your obituary I will frame it and hang it on the wall. A lesson in what "goes around comes around". I know no one will, you have just received a new assignment at Twitter, the bots are just not that good anymore.

Very sorry to hear that BroMikey…

wantomake,
I had exactly that problem. The attraction of the magnets to the coil cores caused wobble in my rotor. Also the FLEX of the threaded rod, even though mine was fairly large. So two things you can do to solve the problem. One is a larger diameter shaft. But before you try that, I would look at something of a larger diameter to go on each side of the rotor, between it and the nut, to hold it parallel with the shaft. In the following video....

....you will see the two LARGE plastic cylinders I put one on each side of my rotor to hold it upright. They are solid plastic with a hole drilled through the center. I had two pieces cut and drilled at the plastics place because if there is any error in the cutting you will lock that error in when you tighten everything down. The BIGGER that cylinder, the better, as long as it does not interfere with coil placement.

Turion,
There's no coils on the unit yet. Just the rotor. Wanted to get all the spacing from the sides first. Plus see how good the axle will work.

I know the coils magnetic pull will be a problem as I assemble this machine. It's really too large to use it as I intend. I want to build the Tesla Switch setup and use this as a switch. I've accepted that I'm limited and not able to build something like you have built. This will be a start for something smaller and simple to understand. The TS setup has been my thinking lately.

My goal isn't free energy, but rather extended battery usage in case of power outages. Friends and family await my finishing something to build together toward this goal. Solar is limited and all are willing to follow my lead. No pressure right. Lol!

BroMikey, you fight that cancer!!! Speak against it in Jesus Name!!! Cast it out of your body. In Jesus Christ Name get out you blood cancer, be removed now!!! You have no place in my body or my life!!!

Don't believe the report of these "medical professionals" !! They only know what the pharmakia spirit of satan has taught them!!!! Believe the Bible, 1 Peter 2:24 "by whose stripes you WERE healed"!!! Isaiah 53:5 "And by His stripes we are healed"!!

You blood that's in BroMikey, I command you cleansed completely every drop with the Name and by the Power of Jesus Name NOW!!!

Amen and so be it done on earth as it is in heaven!!

Incredibly sorry to hear that bro. Will be thinking of you and your family.

god bless you Mikey, we start as energy and return to energy, may your next assignment be as fruitful or more so than this one.

Hey Turion,
I rebuilt a wooden version of your black beast. I used threaded rod for the axle. To my dismay the disk holding the magnets has a wobble in it.

Can this wobble be caused by the two large threaded nuts on both sides of the disk ? Or the workmanship of the disk itself?

Can this wobble be corrected or is it doomed for the scrap pile?
Just asking.
