NRC – ReGenX Innovation Report
2 | P a g e
Preamble:
This document, prepared by PDI and delivered to the NRC, will show that the ReGenX
generator innovation reverses conventional generator armature reaction. The ReGenX
generator innovation accelerates the system under load rather than decelerating it as
per the conventional generator armature reaction paradigm. This paradigm shift will be
shown in both a Salient Pole Axial Flux Generator and an Induction Generator.
Introduction:
In electricity generation an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical
energy to an electromotive force. (1)
The induced voltage (called electromotive force or EMF) will create an electric current
through an external circuit connected to the coil terminals resulting in energy being
delivered to the load.
Thus, the kinetic energy that spins the source of the magnetic field is converted into
electricity.
Note that the current flowing through an external load
in turn creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the flux of the coil,
so the coil opposes the motion (generator armature reaction).
The higher the current, the higher the opposing force and the
larger the force that must be applied to the rotating magnetic
field to keep it from slowing down. (2)

Conventional Generator Operation (A)
When a “conventional” generator delivers power to a load, the load current causes the
generator to decelerate the prime mover. The greater the current magnitude the more
force (external energy) must be applied to the prime mover to keep the system from
decelerating.
Figure 1. Conventional Generator Torque Paradigm
In Figure 1 above the prime mover torque (Tt) rotates the generator in the
clockwise direction. The generator responds by creating a counter-clockwise-
torque (Tg) which opposes the torque supplied by the prime mover.
PDI ReGenX Generator Innovation Operation (B)
The ReGenX generator innovation reverses the above scenario such that when the
ReGenX generator delivers power to a load the generator accelerates and assists the
prime mover rather than resisting it. The greater the current magnitude the less force
must be applied by the prime mover to keep the system from accelerating.
Figure 2. Regenerative Acceleration Torque Paradigm

4 | P a g e
In Figure 2 above the prime mover torque (Tt) rotates the generator in the
clockwise direction. The generator responds by also creating a clockwise-torque
(Tg) which adds to the torque supplied by the prime mover.
Test Protocol
(1) PDI will employ a conventional induction generator (A) and deliver electrical
current to a load to establish what minimum magnitude of current (0.2 Amps) is
required to cause system deceleration.
(2) PDI will introduce a conventional coil (A) into the ReGenX generator innovation
prototype and establish conventional generator coil (A) system deceleration with
1.4 Amps of load current (7 times the minimum load current required to induce
system deceleration).
(3) PDI will engage the ReGenX generator innovation coils (B) and establish system
acceleration with 1.57 Amps of load current – 685 % more load current than the
conventional generator in item (1).
(4) PDI will reconfigure the ReGenX generator innovation prototype with
Regenerative Acceleration Generator Coils (B) only and repeat item (3) and
deliver 2.2 Amps of current to the load with system acceleration and (1,000 %)
more load current than the minimum load current required to decelerate the
conventional generator system.
(5) PDI will configure the conventional induction generator to operate as a ReGenX
Induction Generator Innovation (B) and provide on-load system acceleration with
a load current of 0.3 Amps (50 % more than the minimum load current/system
deceleration required in the conventional generator baseline (A)).

Testing Phase
Test 1 Conventional Generator (A)
BASELINE CONVENTIONAL INDUCTION GENERATOR (A) (DECELERATION)
PERFORMANCE
Test 1 Demo Video: http://bit.ly/LM34Fd
Test notes:
(1) The conventional induction generator (A) had little or no deceleration effect on
the prime mover while delivering 0.19 Amps of current to the load at 4,073 RPM.
(2) With a load current increase to 0.22 Amps the conventional induction generator
(A) reduced the system speed from 4,246 RPM down to 4,169 RPM or a 1.8 %
drop in system speed.
Test 1 Conclusions:
A BASELINE load current of only 0.22 Amps is required to decelerate the system
prime mover by 1.8 % when a conventional induction generator (A) is employed.

Test 2 Conventional Generator (A)
CONVENTIONAL COIL (A) IN ReGenX PROTOTYPE (DECELERATION)
PERFORMANCE
Test 2 Demo Video: http://bit.ly/KXQqaK
Test notes:
(3) The conventional coil (A) in the ReGenX prototype delivered 1.4 Amps of load
current and decelerated the system from 1,675 RPM (no-load) down to 1468
RPM – a 12.4 % decrease in system speed.
(4) The prime mover input current increased from 3.61 Amps to 3.71 Amps in
response.(2.8 % prime mover input current increase).
Test 2 Conventional Coil (A) Conclusions:
The conventional coil (A) in the ReGenX prototype delivered 1.4 Amps of load current
and decelerated the system by 12.4 %.
Test 1 comparison - A BASELINE load current of 0.22 Amps is required to decelerate
the ReGenX prototype prime mover by 1.8 % in the conventional induction generator
(A).

8 | P a g e
Increasing the load current in the ReGenX prototype conventional coil (A) by 84 %
over the conventional induction generator (A) increases the deceleration by more
than 12 %.
Test 2 ReGenX Generator (B)
Test 2 ReGenX COIL (B) OPERATION (ACCELERATION) PERFORMANCE
(5) Engaging the ReGenX coils (B) at a no-load speed of 1,659 RPM and delivering
1.57 Amps of load current accelerated the system up to 1,680 RPM (1.3 %
increase).
Test 2 Conclusions
The conventional generator coil (A) decelerated the system as expected while
delivering 1.4 Amps of current to the load.
The ReGenX generator coils (B) accelerated the system as expected while
delivering 1.6 Amps of current to the load.
A BASELINE load current of only 0.22 Amps is required to decelerate the
prototype prime mover by 1.8 % with the conventional induction generator (A).
Increasing the conventional generator (A) load current by 536 % over the baseline
load current level also increased the system deceleration from 1.8 % to 12 %.
Increasing the ReGenX generator (B) load current by 685 % over the baseline load
current did not induce system deceleration but created system acceleration
instead.
Test 3 will show that further increasing the ReGenX coil (B) load current to

9 | P a g e
1,000 % over the baseline (deceleration) load current (A) will induce increased
system acceleration.
Overall deduction:
Increasing the load current in the conventional generator (A) increases the system
deceleration (as predicted by conventional scientific wisdom) and requires an increase
in prime mover energy to supply the load power. Increasing the load current in the
ReGenX generator (B) innovation does not produce system deceleration or require any
increase in the prime mover energy to maintain load power.

Test notes:
(6) Increasing the load current up to 2.2 Amps does not produce any adverse
(regenerative braking) conditions.
Test 3 ReGenX Coil (B) Conclusions:
Increasing the ReGenX coil (B) load current to 1,000 % over the baseline
conventional generator coil (A) (deceleration) load current will only induce
system acceleration.

(51%).
Test 4 ReGenX Coil (B) Conclusions:
The conventional induction generator (A) from Test 1 established a baseline load
current magnitude which decelerated the system with only 0.22 Amps of load current.

11 | P a g e
However increasing the load current in the ReGenX Induction Generator (B) innovation
by 45% accelerated the system by 47%.
Increasing the load current in the ReGenX Induction Generator (B) innovation by 100%
accelerated the system by 51%.

Graph 1.0 shows the magnitude of system deceleration or armature reaction in
the conventional generator (A) with a load current of 0.22 Amps and 1.4 Amps.
Graph 2.0 shows the system acceleration produced in the ReGenX generator (B)
innovations.
Conventional Generator Armature Reaction (A)
Note that in the conventional generator system (A) the current flowing through an
external load in turn creates a magnetic field so the coil opposes the motion of
the rotating magnetic field. The higher the current, (the higher the opposing
force) and the larger the force that must be applied to the rotating magnetic field
to keep it from slowing down.
ReGenX Generator Armature Reaction (B)
Note that in the ReGenX generator (B) innovation system the current flowing
through an external load in turn creates a delayed magnetic field so the coil
assists the motion of the rotating magnetic field. The higher the current, the
higher the assisting force and the lower the force that must be applied to the
rotating magnetic field to keep it from speeding up.
Report Conclusions
The conventional induction generator (A) required a minimum load current of
only 0.22 Amps (baseline) to create system deceleration. Further increases in

13 | P a g e
load current above this baseline resulted in higher percentages of system
deceleration and increases in prime mover force would be required to sustain the
load power.
The ReGenX Generator (B) innovation did not produce any system deceleration
but produced system acceleration instead. Increasing the ReGenX generator’s
load current by 1,000 % over the conventional generator’s baseline still did not
produce any conventional generator system deceleration but increased system
acceleration and decreases in prime mover input would be required to reduce
system acceleration while delivering power to the load.

Universal Motor Speed-Torque Curve / Torque-Current Curve
Figure 2 shows the speed-torque curve and Figure 3 shows the torque-current curve.
The graphs show that, in the universal motor, the torque decreases when the rotation
speed increases and the torque increases when the current increases. (3)
