OK, so could you guys please tell me whether that would work or not , referring to post #8 in this thread and the main question that I asked, Could a drum type disc or more complicated structure still based on faraday disc principle be used both as...

No, the generator is constantly attached to rotational torque source as every normal generator, the discussion here is about whether i have to use a separate exciter coil for the magnetic field that would further create current or can I use the same disc for both current induction and b field...

Thank you Nugatory and supernova you understood me, I was a bit unclear in my wording i expect that's the reason Dave misunderstood me. The idea was simple , could a single faraday wheel be the b field source and the current producer at the same time , starting up order would be as follows...

Good day, some time ago i asked a similar question but i didnt get a definitive answer. I will try to write as simple as possible, A faraday disc (generator) a constant rpm torque source that spins the generator , now i put some load on the brushes attached to the disc and a capacitor in...

Ok , can anyone else please confirm, would having DC on the transformer primary and then somehow varying the reluctance of the core result in induced secondary , I myself think it should the above poster rumborak also said so. It would...

Hi , When DC is applied to a transformer there is no secondary induction because DC current creates no changing flux in the Core. If I could change the reluctance, or permeability is another word I guess, of the transformer core while still having DC applied to the...

Any more help please?

Hi , before I ask I want to say that I have done my “ homework” I did a search on this forums and I found a few hits but I couldn’t quite understand them or the numbers turned out wrong after I did my calculations. So I wanted to make a fresh thread , hope you folks will guide me , thanks. So I...

Ok I got the answer to my second question but about the first one I kinda think I got what you were thinking but maybe not so I ask again differently. I wasn’t thinking about using the induced current to let it flow through the disc one more time to spin the disc even stronger and so cause a...

Hello everyone , as for starters I would like to ask two questions. As I've been reading about the homopolar generator I have the basic understanding of all the workings yet here are my questions. Since the rotatig disc produces a current within while rotating in an axial magnetic field...

are you thinking in terms of whne the magnet is stationary and the copper disc is stationary no current induced even though the static b field is present and then as soon as the copper disc starts to rotate a current is induced , so you wanted this situation where you have a E field but in state...

finally someone made a thread like this , I've been thinking about it too many times even here on PF a while ago , sophie probably wouldnt't remeber as it was under a different name. Blackadder is great , thanks sophie for the recomendation :) about the faraday disc itself I think sophie you...

Anyone interested, please?
