Component Parts for The
GAP Generator |

The photo to the left displays one of the 16
batteries used by The
GAP Generator.
The link below is for six batteries. Click here for where to purchase. Click here to see larger photo.

The photo to the left
displays the relays I use in The
GAP Generator.
Click here for where to purchase. Click here to see larger photo. If using coils & magnets I suggest Tungsten relay contacts. |

The photo to the left displays the magnetic alignment
of the coils used on The
GAP Generator. These coils I make. Click here to see larger photo. If you plan to make coils be very careful. Note the N (North) side of both magnets are against the coil. |

If you plan to make coils
I suggest you watch this video. In it I demonstrate how I assemble
the magnets to the coils. Magnets can be
VERY DANGEROUS. Click here to watch the video. |
|
If you plan to make coils
this device is a must. It is a Magnetic Pole Indicator. I repeat,
it is a must. Click here to see a larger photo. Click here to purchase one. |

My last 29 tests were done with no coil attached. The
reason for this is because the coil &magnets produce lots of power
with 42 volts input from Bank-1 the contacts would burn up or blow
the fuse. The coil as now is performs best at 42 Volts DC input. The
cheap relays I have will operate OK at 36 VDC maximum. Knowing the
arcing of the relay contacts was producing lots of power I decided
to prove it in the last 29 tests. If you plan to use coils I suggest
using relays with tungsten contact. With tungsten contacts the coil
size, VDC Input, and wire size, can be increased. Below is a link to those 29 tests. Click here to see those 29 tests.

How long should the wire be? This is a question I
often get. The photo to the left displays different wire sizes,
diameter, and weight. My coils are made with AWG 21 size
wire. Note it's at the very bottom. The coils on The
GAP Generator
I built has 2,343.75 feet of wire. Click here to see a larger photo. |

|
To the left is a photo of the end caps of the coil
for The
GAP Generator.
It was made from a door stop purchased
at Lowe's. It was 5 inches in diameter. I machined it to 3.75 inches
and drilled the hole. Click here to see it at Lowe's Click here to see a larger photo. |

To the left is a photo of the core of the coil for The
GAP Generator.
It has the material and dimensions. It was manufactured in my
business. Click here to see a larger photo.

Making a coil for The
GAP Generator.
To the left is a photo of me making a coil. The photo was taken from
a video of me making the coil. Click here to view a larger photo. Click here to view the video, to which I have added some notes. |

Using Tools for handling magnets. As I stated
above, Magnets can be
VERY DANGEROUS. These tools, or something similar, are a
must. Click here to view a larger photo. Click here to view the video, to which I have added some notes. |

Magnetic Shift. A very interesting video. It displays
just how the coils and magnets operate on The
GAP Generator. Click here to see a larger photo. Click here to view the video, to which I have added some notes. |
| Anyone planning to duplicate
The
GAP Generator I
suggest replicating mine exactly. This will create a
good starting point and you will gain lots of knowledge.
You can always increase the number of relays and coils.
If using coils & magnets I
suggest Tungsten, or a similar material, for relay contacts. Feel free to email me at art.porter@bvu.net or by phone at 276-608-8210. Sincerely, Art Porter |
