My Posts This: Topic Forum | I'm pretty sure (99.999999%) that the GV1 idea will not work, here is why. The coil is shaped so that when the maget is placed over the CENTER of the coil, there are two other magnets spaced perfectly around the outer metal "horse-shoe". This makes a magentic field with the "horse-shoe" that the MIDDLE electromagnet is then inside, and the rare-earth magnet passing over the electro magnet at that time is the OPPOSITE pole as the two creating the field on the horse-shoe. That was prob. the worst explanation I could have made, but they are spaced out in a certain way that needs to be like that. They are also in a north-south-north-south pattern in order to correctly build the magnetic fields.
That is why the GV-1 idea won't work... I was at my machineist's house today and we worked out two different ideas for mounting to the G-23 engine. Depending on the information I get when I call the engineers tomorrow, we will decide what one is best. One of them uses stock parts and modifies the base of the G-23 engine.. we could prob. sell kits to convert anyone's helicopter with a G-23 into one that retains the pull starter and also has this generator (with up to 4 coils, 20 watts) attached. The other method involves drilling out the fan for each magnet on a larger circumferance than stock while maintaing the spacing (by adding two more magnets)... we'll see what happens!
If this post made NO sence, then its because I really shouldn't drink and type.. and think..
