Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

January 6, 2011

This is a project that needs to be finished, the electric bills are getting higher and they don’t look like going down, Ever!! The start of this was knowing I could adapt any DC magnetic motor and turn it into a generator. Here are some pictures of my first attempt at building a VAWT.

The Motor

These coils number 42,  so I figured a 7 phase system should give me the correct volt/amp combination.

The Magnets

Without too much plans here are the pictures of the VAWT in my backyard before I attach any the generator and the guides for the outer section.

Here is the top section.

Here is a full picture of the VAWT.

I still have a long way to go,  adding the generator and the airfoils. Keep any eye out for the performance data.

The Optical Revolution is Here

June 20, 2010

My invention(AMOD) is now 10 years old to me, I have waited for the IBM, Sony, Hitachi, etc to come up with the solution of CD and DVD spin reliability and to eventually supersede it to a simpler more efficient solution, as usual they are making too much money from old technology and unreliable systems to go for something as simple, reliable and revolutionary as the Solid State Optical Disc Technology, I am at the end of my tether and will see who accepts my ideas as I am giving it freely to the world. Here is the basic system:

1.    No change to CD,DVD, discs this technology will not be obsolete
2.    Increases in read/write times increases 1000 fold
3.    No noise, no motor, no heat
4.    Lifetime of drive is extended to at least 100 years and much more
5.    CD,DVD can now be imprinted on anything
6.     The round disc will no longer be the imperative geometry
7.    New shapes and 3D forms will revolutionise computing and entertainment
8.    Simple manufacturing, once the required resolution has been achieved
9.    Error free reading/writing
10. Leadin, Leadout, Prepit not needed

Here is some pictures of the basic schematic and designs.
