>1. You are in Australia, What is the common household current used there, is it 50 or 60 cycle AC? 110, 208, or some other voltage rating.
Answer, we have 50 (its not as efficient as 60!) in Australia

OK! You answered the first part with 50 cycle, but you missed the voltage.
To run a comparison test Voltage input is a must to calculate line loss through a closed circuit.
>2. With the above known factors, what is the rating: voltage, Amps, Watts of the initial drive motor.
ralph we will be using his 3/4 HP 800 WATT motor through an inverter and battery to measure DC in, and also DC out. This will be an analog meter and digital meter in a series. No BS measure.
There are 746 watts in one horsepower a 3/4 horse motor should pull 559.5 watts.
Voltage is still not mentioned, in a D-C circuit the power (P) may be computed by multiplying the voltage (E) by the current (I) where E is in volts, I in amperes and )(P) in watts.
ill get his specs off the motor for you
Thank you! although you state: 3/4 horse power, 800 watt this leave the Amp to Volt ratio unkown. Once again I refer back to (DC in and DC out). Example 800 watts at 14 volts means 57.142 Amps! It would take #6 size wire to carry such a load without serious line loss!
>3. What is the output of the generator in volts, Amps, cycles and rated time allowed for 100+ % duty cycle.
the out put will be run into a FWBR (to create DC out) and be in A LIGHT LOAD, where we MEASURE THE WIRES. into the lights. He has a 3.5kva (3500 watts) alternator, ill have to measure it and get the specs for you
Not familiar with the acronym "FWBR" (to create DC out). I presume that light bulbs will be used wired in parallel to measure a constant unchanging draw. 15 100 watt light bulbs is an equivalent draw at 110 volts of 15 amps which is what Eric kreig requires to qualify for his prize.
A 15 amp at 110 volt is the standard household lighting circuit used here in the USA. This requires #14 gauge wire. New homes are now wired with #12 gauge and 20 Amp breakers due to the advent of ever increasing technoligy in household usage.
>4. He shows a light bulb, a fan, a drill and a chop saw all running at once, but only briefly. How long will all these run and what is the combined draw in Amps or Watts?
thats a good question, im told it swings in and out of OU, why? cause his wheel isnt balanced and AIR and Temp effect PM! yes thats his words not mine just for the record, now, his new design apparently stops the design from going in and out of OU, apparently it only last while how long i don't know ill ASK him.
Caution here! We just heard the excuse that heat from display lights caused the downfall of the Steorn device. Any electrical or mechanical device that is indorsed by a qualtity control association such as NEMA or Under Writers Lab. carry a temperature rating sticker.
Remember we still do not know what the drill and chop saw power requirements are. You are leading me to believe they are DC powered which leads to the question of permanent magnet stators!
I beg of you, quit quibbling with the skeptics, you tend to leave the impression that you are not skilled in electrical behavior and are avoiding the technical data such as knowledge of Kirchhoff (Gustav Robert) Two major laws regarding currents and emf's in a circuit.

Okay UPDATE.
Ralph ill get to your Questions in a sec,
Chas has almost finished his PM wheel, it will have 12 numbered 'snooker or pool' balls, in it, it will have NO motor generator on it, this is just to prove that PM via gravity (and his idea is so it can give credibility to his ability to create a PM wheel, and thus convince people that he can produce POWER)
Ill be filming it working, then getting Chas to OPEN the wheel up to prove there is no DC gen. [ill still be measuring his other set up]
Ill pan the camera all the way around, and inside, he still wants to hide what he is doing until he gets recognition and grants, yes i know dont go there am working on it.
Ill also be asking him some Questions on PM for you guys,
Now the thing is, he has stated to me on the phone last night
YOU CANNOT make a wheel turn and Drive some thing DRECTLY! all of you going down the road of making a wheel turn then LOADING it directly WILL NOT WORK.
he said PM is a joke, its easy, but you have to have other skills to make it Generate power, PM is easy! but making it power is another. [end quote]
Now one of his secrets is in his drive motor, he doesn't load it via a pully to its RATED RPM, ie if you make a wheel and need a drive system (as according to him you wil need to) you dont LOAD the pulley at what the motors rated at, ie, if the motor is rated at 1750 RPM, you make its LOAD 1600 etc.
His system will show the relay system of the pool balls, and you will see each on come through a section on the wheel, ill have a digital meter on and get him to open his wheel up,
We are still going to measure his system via this method.
FWBR -> digital ampmeter -> analog ampmeter -> lightbulb(s)
In parallel to the lamp(s)
one digital voltmeter
one analog voltmeter
At the output of the FWBR a big electrolytic capacitor (with voltage
breakdown reserve) to smooth out ripple and make DC.
At the inverter input do the same thing using both analog and digital
meters simultaneously. You can use an ampmeter at the battery, but measure voltage right at the inverter,otherwise the wires between battery and inverter could (WILL !) drop the
voltage.
so Ralph we measure the WIRES going INTO the lights i can be very ANAL too and use a caloric meter to measure the heat and freq of them, but the lamp wires are enough.
Jon J Hutton, ill ask Chas that Quesiton for you, keep them coming.
Ralph
>It would take #6 size wire to carry such a load without serious line loss!
We measure from the BATTERY going into the INVERTER.
>FWBR
Forward Wave Bridge Rectifier
And ralph you told me i appear as i dont know electronics mate seriously get a grip
>Remember we still do not know what the drill and chop saw power requirements are. You are leading me to believe they are DC powered which leads to the question of permanent magnet stators!
Ralph we are not using that load, we are avoiding the doubt by the system i mentioned above.
>I beg of you, quit quibbling with the skeptics, you tend to leave the impression that you are not skilled in electrical behavior and are avoiding the technical data such as knowledge of Kirchhoff (Gustav Robert) Two major laws regarding currents and emf's in a circuit.
Do i really need to answer that Ralph , mate i think i don't, any one gives negative feedback, or no contribution in this thread then they can deal with my short fuse.I dont have a tolerance for skeptics or rudness, lack of contribution and or sarcasm. And i back that up any time mate
