Comments: HyperDrive LV1, first live test of the assembled motor. Mounted horizontally on test stand. Test stand is a custom built CnC router with the motor and 3-D cutter apparatus removed. The rails and structure should provide a good mounting point to test the HyperDrive motor. Motor must be mounted sideways, that is turned 90 degrees to the horizontal, in order for it to travel from left to right on the CnC system. The thinking was that this would relieve the motor of its physical weight while traveling in a horizontal mode, and the easy sliding rails would make a great demonstration of the force potentials being generated by the HyperDrive. Mounted the motor unit on the center sliding structure. When started motor, unit began to oscillate badly. There was a loud, sporadic rumbling and no substantial RPM could be obtained. Oscillations became erratic. Finally, this resulted in the drive shaft breaking. See photos. Conclusion: HyperDrive LV1 motor must be run in vertical orientation to earth, with the gravitron perpendicular to the horizon. Hypothesis is that the earth's gravity is placing extreme torsional stresses upon the gravitron while in a horizontal orientation, which is then translated into a high velocity oscillation force, due to its rotation, onto the drive shaft. This hypothesis requires more investigation. Field Notes 28 Feb 2020 Finally completed assembly of the HyperDrive motor v1 with gravitron within the repellent body. Test ran motor while standing upright on a work bench. Test fire went without incident. Now, I required a test to reveal thrust potentials. Decided to mount the HyperDrive on CnC with router tool removed. Mounted the complete motor without shrouding onto the 3D router structure to make a live fire test. Initially, the motor appeared to function, but was unable to achieve nominal RPM. Gravitron seemed to encounter perturbance, causing it to cut into the lead repellent body at base (A) section. Disassembled motor and verified slight damage to repellent body. There was a similar, but lesser cut into the lead at (B) section. Noted perturbance and reassembled motor. The reason for this perturbance and cuts into repellent body is unknown. It could be a vibration issue caused by an imbalance of the gravitron, or perhaps it may be some other force, may be a compressed quantity of te space being greater on the top or bottom sides of the gravitron resulting in new forces exerted and this oscillation. Conclusion: unknown. Also noted that when the gravitron began to pick up speed it was observed to press forward inside the repellent body, as if it were grabbing onto something that was causing it to climb forward, towards the normally top side of the repellent body. This seemed to indicate a reaction of a gravimetric force nature. Unfortunately, gravitron drive shaft broke during the test. Gravitron was undamaged. Observing that when turning HyperDrive in horizontal orientation to earth it begins to behave in a very erratic and rough manner. Possible hypothesis: This may have something to do with the gravimetric field surrounding planet Earth interacting with the gravimetric production of the motor. Will replace drive shaft tomorrow and continue testing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
