Test

Body

Hi DougI am thinking of re-doing the daisy chain experiment using an RV to drive the permanent magnet motor to produce 35 volts dc, which is what I used in my first test from the 5 amp battery, driving a 125 watt inverter, driving a 5 amp Variac, outputting 35 volts via a full wave bridge rectifier to the first motor.Instead, I want to use an RV motor, driving with vee belt, and pulleys, a permanent magnet dc motor, at a speed to produce 35 volts dc.Starting with that 35 volts dc, we will then see what happens up the chain with each motor progressively as to voltage.After 10 motors , or how many I can throw into the test, I will belt down that last motor to yet another dc motor to drive it, so it only produces 12 volts as a generator.I will then put that 12 volts DC into an ordinary 12volt to 120 ac inverter which via a double pole double throw switch should be able to replace the grid power to the RV while it is still running at speed(By the way, this works great, using the switch)

My drawing is pretty crappy, but it begins to show ideas from the setup. I am still working out the layout of the components, like rectifiers, to ease the wiring up.Cheers Warren
