Was the Lockridge device the original parallel path motor?

This is the basic 2 pole schematic although I have a few permutations to try for the 4 pole as shown by John Bedini in Energy from the vacuum.

The magnets will be placed left and right

I have purchased a 4 pole starter motor and will get the slots machined as soon as I can. My problem is finding suitable magnets, U magnets can be used on the outside as an alternative to c magnets internally

I will wind two poles, bifilar, with 18# wire.

I really do believe this will work, can anyone give me feedback please.

You should place these posts in the Lockridge thread. I think you might have something here.

Hi Mbrownn,
to be honest I don't understand what you are proposing, a better drawing would be helpful.

Note that with this design you do not need a specially shaped rotor as the motive force is applied by the coils on the rotor; however if a shaped rotor is used it may be possible to increase torque as there is nowhere else for the flux to go.

The gap between the magnets and the rotor may be much larger than the poles; I think this will be a requirement. It may be that external U magnets will work better than internal C magnets because there will be no cogging caused by the magnets proximity to the rotor.

A universal motor is usually about 35% efficient so we need a combined output of recovery and generation of 65% to reach unity. This, I believe is possible as 35% recovery is not a big deal nor is 35% generation.

bloch wall

I'm out of my depth here , but the first thought that came to mind is the Bloch wall. If I understand correctly (e.g. from reading some of Howard Johnson's work), magnetic fields don't loop from one end of the magnet to the other - they loop from each end towards the middle (the Bloch wall).

I googled for Bloch wall and hit this thread, does it have any bearing on what you are thinking?:

I'm certainly interested in following your progress. Please keep us updated.

Thanks to the member that shipped me a copy of Electric Motor Secrets part 2.

It is clear from the info on this video that the Lockridge device was not a parallel path motor as I postulated. However I do believe that the parallel path idea would be a potential improvement for the original device and I will continue to investigate this.

Peter, as always, explains simply the basic principals in a way that even I can understand.

It does seem most likely that the rotor was of a star configuration and that the capacitor is used as part of a regenerative circuit. It also seems as if I, in my ignorance, am coming to the same conclusions as Peter in other aspects of the devices operation. Thanks again to Peter as I had not thought of using bulbs in the manor he suggests.
