精品文档 The Searl-Effect Generator Design and Manufacturing Procedure The objective of this report is to reconstruct the experimental work carried out between 1946 and 1956 by John R. R. Searl that concerns the geometry, materials used, and the manufacturing process of the Searl-Effect Generator (SEG). The information given here is based on private communication between the author (S. Gunnar Sandberg) and Searl and should be considered preliminary as further research and development maygive reason to alter and/or update the content. The Gyro-Cell The SEG consists of a basic drive unit called the Gyro-Cell (GC) and, depending on the application, is either fitted with coils for generation of electricity or with a shaft for transfer of mechanical power. The GC can also be used as a high voltage source. Another and important quality of the GC is its ability to levitate. The GC can be considered as an electric motor entirely consisting of permanent magnets in the shape of cylindrical bars and annular rings. Fig. 1 shows the basic GC in its simplest form, consisting of one stationary annular ring-shaped magnet called the plate, and a number of moving cylinder-shaped rods called runners. 精品文档 精品文档 During operation each runner is spinning about its axis and is simultaneously orbiting the plate in such a manner that a fixed point p on the curved runner surface traces out a whole number of cycloids during one revolution round the plate, as shown by the dotted lines in fig. 2. Measurements have revealed that an electric potential difference is prodeced in the radial direction between plate and runners; the plate being positively charged and the runners negatively charged, as shown in fig. 1. In principle, no mechanical constraints are needed to keep the GCtogether since the runners are electromagnetically
