This video shows how the mechanical systems for the new stator movement strategy have been designed, manufactured, and assembled. I had hoped to have enough time near the end of the video to show a demonstration of the new systems in operation, but ran out of time before I could do so. Therefore, the video [...]

This is a continuation of video #30, further explaining the new additions and enhancements of the Pipe Dream Prototype, and showing a preliminary rotor magnet layout that will be used for the first test. Further explanation, and a testdemonstration will appear in video #32. Thanks for your continued interest, and for the many supportive comments [...]

In this video I show some new modifications and enhancements that I have made to the Pipe Dream prototype since making video #29. While I am considering the best way to proceed with the proposed method of moving the slider carriage and pivoting stator by magnetic repulsive interactions, I decided to proceed with some non-related [...]

This video explains the modifications that are being made to the Pipe Dream prototype to enhance operation. The next video in this series, which I will try to post in another day or two, will show how several of the new mechanisms have been fashioned, and will offer a demonstration to show how they work. [...]

This video is a continuation of videos #22 and 23, and shows the configuration and testing of the second test track layout. A pull test is also shown, which demonstrates the resistive pressure encountered between the track and stator carriage wheels during the previous tests. The pull test shows that the resistive drag force encountered [...]

This video shows the various components of the stator tracking system as assembled, and explains how they work together to achieve stator movement. The procedures and methods for performing preliminary tests of varying timing track layouts are also demonstrated. The actual tests will be shown in 3 follow-up videos which are a continuation of this [...]

This video provides an update on the build status of the Pipe Dream prototype. All components of the stator tracking system are now completed and mounted on the Pipe Dream apparatus. Several timing track test strips have been laid out on Masonite arcs which can be attached to the polycarbonate ring shown in the previous [...]

Jamie Shinkman describes a variable speed permanent magnetic generator to be used in wind turbines over a standard generator, doubly-fed induction generator. These new generators can be customized to the parameters of individual projects for better efficiency and production.
