window motor
Hi Carl,
I don't have any experience with the Bedini/Cole window motor. But Peter Lndemann did convey to me that the window motor was NOT and probably could not go COP>1 because of the huge flux leak (absence of core materials). He worked for John Bedini's company for a while and actually measured it ... also stressing that the combined outputs of the SG definitely made the SG COP>1.
That aside, I think the Keppe motor looks the same but the Keppe control theory seems simpler - (Ver 1 = over-simple). When I get the 3.0 Manual I'll know more. BTW I was pleased to see that I was somewhat close with my efficiency estimates.
I wish I could be more help. I just haven't built many of these motors yet ... in the learning curve. You are very lucky to be able to travel and attend those energy events. It's all I can do to afford to get across town.

. You mention flux leaks and absence of core material; while I was in Canton, I saw that Rick had a medium sized window motor whose magnets were glued to a hexagonal solid steel machined shaft of approx. three to four inches in diameter (hex) and around six to eight inches in length. He said something about the eddy currents in the steel shaft actually assisting the properties of the magnets. Things were crazy up there, so I'm not sure if I got that right. Is this the core material that you and Peter are talking about? This was not a functioning model, but it is a kit he is putting together for around $600.00, I believe. He also had a window motor device with a sixty-five pound rotor spinning inside a 2' x 2' x 2' steel cage with only a small coil powering it. This was a massive device that he thought would be large enough to power a small house when it's finished.
I doubt seriously if there is any original work involved, but I could be wrong.
