Starting A Self Powering Electric Motor:
I was watching a programme about life in Alaska on the Discovery Channel DMAX just now. Surviving in the outback winters, and I was thinking they would appreciate Gdicm self powering electric motors in those temperatures. -400. When a thought occurred to me concerning the motors themselves. I have said that they would require a starter motor from battery power to set them in motion just like an internal combustion engine does. Could have that as well. However: I remembered what I read on another page, and posted the link here on a previous post, about trials some people did to create a self powering electric motor, and how the motor was a perfect success, but the friction in the bearings prevented it running for any length of time. The output was too little to overcome that obstacle, but what if, instead of a battery electric starter it was started with compressed air from a built in compressor supplying a small compressed air tank? What if it also assisted with the powering of the motor in order to overcome the difference? Electric and compressed air driven in other words. Compressors are one of the easiest devices to engineer known to man, and many powerful power tools are driven by compressed air. It is like using steam produced by nuclear powered power stations to provide electricity. A step backwards to gain many steps forward.
