Jason Rollette's Compulsator page

Compulsator

There is not alot out there on the web for someone doing research on compulsators. My hope is to someday build one to power my railgun, However I still need to do more research on this. But in the mean time I will post anything that I have found to be useful to others that may wish to know more on Compulsators

On these pages there is an images button (this only seems to work with IE not firefox) these might help you. I think they are TIFF

also this page is very useful for searching the patent database.

Theoretically you could modify an existing motor to perform as a compulsator so find suitably sized motor(The bigger the better) and use the field poles and windings, but you may need to rewind the field coils depending on the type of motor, but it will have all your bearings, also you might have to modify the rotor a bit and add a compensation winding. Then you just need a smaller motor to spin up a flywheel of some kind.

 

There is not a lot out there on Compulsators (Compensated Pulsed Alternator, a varation of the Homopolar Generator.)
