Electrical How to Make Activated Carbon Stick to Aluminum Foil for DIY Supercapacitors?
Greetings. I started a new project, I am trying to establish a basic fabrication method so I can test different common household electrolytes when placed between two activated carbon electrode. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwO5zSDThdxFazQyeHM5ZFVEdDg/view?usp=sharing The main problem I am...- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Hi, I completed the rotative beam. I plan to use a small DC electric motor to power the input. The output will drive a three phase AC generator. I can measure the current at the input and the output.- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
http://www.animatedengines.com/watt.html Hi, the first attempt produced poor results. I am altering the project to a rotative beam engine. I plan to replace the steam piston with a pendulum and place weights on just one side of the flywheel. It will still require a energy input to keep the...- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpp5_yU99dQ Hi, I have been working on VAWT project but I live in a low wind area. No wind no power. I watched a few videos on youtube of some projects trying to use pendulums to make a motor. So I am trying to fabricate a rotative beam engine that is powered by...- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
Hi, I was not happy with the test results of the pendulum driving the flywheel using a overrun clutch. I am changing the project to a rotative beam engine. I have completed the beam fabrication, should the beam end be placed directly above the flywheel crank or is there a better position that...- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN4mBojjI_Q Hi, video of manually operating dual pendulum driving a flywheel. Once the flywheel is moving the pendulum keeps the flywheel moving without much effort. Should the weights on the flywheel be place toward the center or toward the outer diameter...- BurnIt0017

How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?
Hi, a pendulum drives a flywheel using a over run clutch so the flywheel will only spin in one direction. The length of the pendulum is 2.5 meters and the bob weight is 25 kilograms. It is a rigid pendulum. The flywheel diameter is 4 meters. 4.5 kilogram weights are placed at 60 degree...- BurnIt0017

Curved Handles: Mechanics Behind the Design
Hi, the reason why I ask is I am working on a vertical axis wind turbine project. I am looking for away to increase the start up torque. If the blade rotor spokes had a similar configuration would it be beneficial?- BurnIt0017

Undergrad Belts and pulleys for WIND TURBINE ?
Hi, the only way I have to test the unit is to mount it on the back of my car and than I drive down the road at different speeds and measure the output using a 12 volt battery for a test load. I did find a bearing that I can use to solve the biggest problem of the shaft being pulled off center...- BurnIt0017
