ReGenX Generator & Motor Prototypes 1, 2, & 3 for Performance Confirmation
1. ReGenX Generator Prototype No. 1 E Core Coil Design
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION: https://youtu.be/pyO8FUTDX68
Prototype No. 1 employs a single conventional Salient Pole generator coil and a two
Salient Pole ReGenX Generator coils which are would on the same E Core.
The conventional generator coil is used to deliver electrical output power to the load
and establish conventional generator performance, i.e.:
1. On-load Generator Armature Reaction (Generator Magnetic Field induced
Counter-Electromagnetic-Torque/System Deceleration) and
2. to establish the conventional generator coil’s Load Current sine wave which
can be observed on an oscilloscope.
3. The conventional generator coil’s load current sine wave is used to establish
the rotor magnets relative position to the coil’s core.
The ReGenX Generator coils are employed to establish ReGenX Generator
performance, i.e.:
4. To reverse the conventional generator’s on-load
Generator Armature Reaction/system deceleration,
5. to produce an on-load delayed Magnetic Field,
induced Complementary-Electromagnetic-Torque/System
Acceleration,
6. to demonstrate Flux Harvesting,
7. to establish the ReGenX Generator Coils’
Load Current Delay which can be observed
simultaneously on the oscilloscope with the
conventional generator coil’s non-delayed
load current sine wave.
Prototype No. 1 employs an induction motor prime mover, a tachometer and power analyzer to monitor prime mover input power variations
from the steady state, equilibrium no-load conditions.

Observation Notes: When the conventional generator coil is placed on-load from the steady state, no-load rotational equilibrium condition the
generator delivers electrical output power to the load and the generator decelerates the system due to Generator Armature Reaction and
additional input power is supplied by the prime mover.
Efficiency of the conventional generator is between 63.3 – 100% efficiency.

Observation Notes: When the ReGenX Generator coils are placed on-load from the steady state, no-load rotational equilibrium condition the
ReGenX Generator coils deliver power to the load, the ReGenX Generator coils accelerate the system due to Generator Armature Reaction
reversal and a reduction in input power is realized by the prime mover. The more power delivered to the load in ReGenX Generator,
Regenerative Acceleration Mode, the more the system is accelerated and the more the prime mover input power consumption is reduced.
Discharging magnetic flux by the ReGenX Generator coil accelerates the system and instantaneously increases the voltage, current and power
delivered to the load by the conventional generator coil due to Flux Harvesting (i.e. not related to system speed increase)
