Replicate!
I've tried it with three and four razor scooter motors and am getting GREAT results. Need some folks to try it with big or bigger motors. I have three more motors on order, but won't be here for a few days.

Today I tried the same thing with 8 Motors 9-18 volt that you get at Radio Shack. I had to go to three different Radio Shacks to get that many motors, and one of them did NOT work, so I was only able to hook seven in series. They are all running now. I do NOT see the increase in RPM's from #1 to #7, and nothing exciting appears to be happening as far as primaries maintaining voltage. Maybe these are just not good enough quality motors.

Unfortunately, I do, so I have no excuse! LOL. I ordered four from E-Bay last night along with a shunt wound DC motor to use as a drive motor for the generator.

Hi!
I did put all my 4 motors in series. First 2 200watt and the last 2motors 350w. Same as previous but now 4 motors, and the 1st connected with 4th (pulley driven-mechanically), as you suggested Matt. (well, I am not very sure if that was your suggestion, you might very well meant electrically, but anyway)
I would say overall had excellent performance. I cannot say better than previous but very good.
Primaries were at 13,12volt before start. After start dropped to 12,64 and slowly were climbing for the next 15 minutes to 12,69. Then stabilized for another fifteen minutes and then dropped 1st primary0,01volt and 2nd prim 0,03v for then next 15 minutes. Totally 45 minutes with insignificant loss. Amazing!
Before this setup I run another one with 3 motors independently. I noticed 2 things: First thing was that voltages of the motors were not steady but moved between a range. First motor moved between a range of voltage, say of 0,25 volts. The second motor between a range of voltage of 0,13 volts and the third motor around a range of 0,07 volts. Like every new motor the range was halfed! (Last one appeared more stable of all)
The second thing was that when 1st motor's voltage was going up, the 2 others' were going down and vise versa.

I was running a small auto tail light as a load across battery 3. It ALSO appeared to me that I got longer run times off my primaries the more motors I put in series, so I am glad you are seeing the same thing. Now if a bunch more folks will jump in here and see if they get the same results we might be on to something.
Matt,
I thought about shaft connecting last motor physically to first motor, or putting a chin drive around all three motors so last motor also assists second motor, and I will give that a try. I wanted to get some more motors into the lineup first, but maybe that would be a good next step. I posted because I wanted to see if anyone else could repeat this with the same results. I hate when I try something and I am the only one who sees a difference. It makes me nuts.
I remember reading in the original post where I saw this circuit being used with a light and the statement was made that electricity went through the light from the two batteries to the discharged battery and none of it was "consumed" by the light, which is why I wanted to try the motor instead of the light. Now I'm wondering how MANY motors you can run in series without affecting the output from the primaries.

Maybe you should try to connect the last motor to the first motor and see if you can't get a run away type effect. Use the gain on the last motor to overdrive the first motor which in turn adds power to the last motor, ect, ect...
I would measure the current between each battery with a clamp and see if it goes up or down. Higher voltages will increase the speed if they come at no cost to current than you have a documented gain.

Hi Dave!
With only the 3 batteries seems to last a lot longer if we use many motors in series.
In my setup i used a string for a load on the third (last) motor that connects to the negative of bad battery.
Did you try it with a load on 'bad' battery Dave?
I think I saw in your video that all motors were going counterclockwise. Is that right? Does it make any difference?

ps: In the video I made a mistake. I am actually splitting the positives. 3rd motor(with the load) goes to positive of bad battery.Last edited by liber63; 06-20-2014, 10:23 AM.

That is very interesting!!
I will have to try that.

Negative of battery 1 connected to Positive of battery 2
Negative of battery 2 connected to Negative of battery 3.
Positive of battery 3 connected to one side of brushed DC motor
The other side of the motor goes back to the Positive of battery 1.
Connect it up and measure the RPM of the motor. Connect a volt meter to the negative of battery 3 and then touch the positive lead to each side of the motor. You will notice that the voltage is different from one side of the motor to the other. For quite a while it has been our OPINION that the setup allows the GENERATED voltage from the motor to come out the wires because the motor is attached between two positives.
Run the same setup with the three motors wired in series. The free wire on the last motor is connected back to the Positive of battery one.
In the video, notice the RPM of the second motor is higher than the first and the RPM of the 3rd is higher than the second. You can't measure amp draw with a motor running between positives, so what I did was charge my batteries, then run with a single motor until I ran my batteries down and then recharged them and ran with 3 motors. I got a longer run time with three motors.
I would invite some of you to try this. My intention is to continue to add motors, attaching a generator shaft to the last motor to see if I can get enough output to do something interesting with. My questions are these: How many motors can we run in series here without additional draw down on the primaries? How much will the RPMs of the motors increase as we add motors? What will be the voltage output from the final motor back into the batteries? Can this system eventually be looped, or could a generator attached to the last motor provide the power to run the whole thing?

Here again is a different drawing of what has been done in the first video posted here.

Hi guys to be clear... Read this link, you will see my claims in the video and or thread title did not really pan out after 12 hours. I failed to fully research this concept out any further, but I hope to get back to it some time in the future as the concept is quite interesting and could be further enhanced efficiency wise, in many ways.
