OK, address the alternator question.

Indeed.

I can't recall a single instance where he boasts about his circuits

mine.

Something about that posting the math and working through the problem

exposition where _his_ "work" is concerned.

he may toss a few snarky "old hens" or "cluck-clucks" our way.

That sure seems to be his wont - name-calling - when he's faced with
having to reply to anything where he has to admit to error or which
makes him feel uncomfortable because he can see it leading to where he
dare not go.

But he'll have no technical answer, for he has no clue.

Be fair.

I've given JL ample opportunity to answer the TECHNICAL question... he
won't/can't.


You've killfiled me, you incredible moron. Of course you can't see
what I post.

Incredible moron!


Perhaps JT has one of Highly-Evolved Super-Special Kill Filters that only

Larkin will never address the "alternator" problem himself. Notice
how he artfully redirected the problem to you without offering one
iota of technical discussion. I really don't know why anyone pays him
any attention at all.

Speaking of incredulity, it should be obvious, even to you, that since
he's responding to your posts he's either unfiltered you or is reading
them from unfiltered sources.



Apparently he has killfiled me but hangs on my every word by reading
other peoples' replies to my posts. Which means he sees only some of
my posts. He won't "respond to my posts" directly, but debates me by
referring to me in the third person.

Face it: he's an idiot. And he seems to have forgotten any
electromagnetics that MIT ever taught him. Obviously Tulane had better
instructors.

I sure wish he'd tell us about those magnetic mosfets he uses.

Are you referring to current limiting due to opposing flux cancellation?


No. An alternator is a transformer, just that the primary is
rotating. What do transformers transform? What is the mechanism?

...Jim Thompson


I would disagree. A transformer transforms electrical energy at one
voltage/current/impedance, into electrical energy at another
voltage/current/
impedance (or the same in the case of a 1:1 ratio transformer).

An alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It
requires
no source of electrical energy, if permanent magnet excitation is used. If
electromagnetic excitation is used, the energy consumed by the excitation
goes entirely in I-squared-R losses, and does not appear at the output.

The generated electrical energy comes entirely from the supplied
mechanical energy.

If the load current has harmonic components, it may be that they can be
reflected into the excitation windings, but that is a separate issue.

The discussion here is about permanent magnet alternators, where there can
be no ambiguity.

There are two possibilities for current limiting in a permanent magnet
alternator. Firstly when the volts per hertz of the generated EMF equals
the volts per hertz of the effective series inductance. Secondly, when
the opposing flux due to the generated current equals the flux provided
by the permanent magnet field.


To my mind the inevitable clearance gap between the armature poles and the
magnet/field winding poles must make some difference to a transformer with
its alternating magnetic field in a closed core.

Regarding the Sturmey Archer 'dynamo', the magnet is pretty crappy which
probably contributes to even more difference.

It will have the effect of increasing the reluctance, hence reducing the
flux in the core, hence the EMF per rad sec ^-1.

I recall, on a trip to the Hoover Dam power station, being told that by
reducing the alternator air gaps from (IIRC) 3/4" to 3/8", facilitated by
better bearings, they had got another 20% capacity.


Regarding the Sturmey Archer 'dynamo', the magnet is pretty crappy which
probably contributes to even more difference.


For 1936 magnet technology, it was pretty good. The Japanese, and Philips
Gloeilampfabrieken had a stranglehold on permanent magnet alloys, and a
lot of effort was being expended in catching up. Good job that the USA and
GB did make headway, before Holland was overrun, and Pearl Harbor. Of
course, the Japanese patents became void.


You can get Sturmey-Archer hubs with modern magnet materials,
improving the output. But, for Ian, his best bet would be FET
switching for the rectification. If he were clever he could even make
them regulating rectifiers ;-)

To my mind the inevitable clearance gap between the armature poles and

its alternating magnetic field in a closed core.


It will have the effect of increasing the reluctance, hence reducing the
flux in the core, hence the EMF per rad sec ^-1.

I recall, on a trip to the Hoover Dam power station, being told that by
reducing the alternator air gaps from (IIRC) 3/4" to 3/8", facilitated by
better bearings, they had got another 20% capacity.


Regarding the Sturmey Archer 'dynamo', the magnet is pretty crappy which
probably contributes to even more difference.


For 1936 magnet technology, it was pretty good.


My googling efforts have turned up some snippets of info, such as the SA
'dynamo' magnet demagnetises almost instantly if the armature is removed
without shuffling in a keeper (guess how I already knew this!) and that the
magnet also gradually loses its strength over time even if left undisturbed.

The wheel I found at the back of the garage had a 1975 stamped hub which
showed fairly strong cogging when rotated, whether this means they adopted
beter magnet alloys as they became available I don't know.

It keeps the 1.2mAh SLA for my front & rear LED lighting set charged OK.

Bwahahahaha!

(If it "keeps the 1.2mAh SLA for my front & rear LED lighting set
charged OK", why the post in the first place?)

Not much electronics though, even philthy knows his electronics.

There's not much electronics coming from JF's direction but he's swiftly
catching up with philthy on the hurling insults (general insanity) front.
