Hello all. I must admit that I never made a wheel that exactly looked like the Minato wheel; I used Robert Calloway's 'how to build' manual already from the...
Eric, Just an observation....shouldn't the magnets in your minatocopy6.jpg be polarized from end to end? Darren ... __________________________________ Do you...
Hi Darren. Maybe, but in that case I did misunderstand the drawing that Henry Curtis made. Anyway, I have magnets that are polarized in a different way and I...
Eric, While cleaning off my desktop this morning I came across a stack of patents I have been collecting. One of these slipped out of the stack and caught my ...
Hi all. For the first time I made a Minato wheel that looked like the real wheel, and not like the big wheel that is described by Robert Calloway. I counted...
Hi Ralph. Thanks. Yes, I have the patent you mention. But I think the patent you mean is 5,594,289. Yesterday I ordered a Schmidt hub dynamo, a very light...
Eric, I have the patent number correct, it is 4,751,486 June 14,1988 Consists of two rotors rotating in opposite directions with one electromagnet on one rotor...
Yes, you're right, I mixed the patents. As far as I know there are only these two patents from Minato. And there is a patent 4,629,921 from Gavaletz. He has a...
Hello all. I placed a photo and a video clip in my photo album: http://www.fdp.nu/photobooks/album.asp?fdp=y&album=0&Latest%20Experiment It's my first Minato...
Hi all. I received an interesting email about the possibility that Minato only used the 'self-'running wheel to demonstrate his patented motor. It good explain...
The more I think about this idea the more it sounds acceptable. Even if you only get 50% of the battery charge to return to the battery the wheel should be...
Hi All. I have my hub dynamo: http://www.fdp.nu/photobooks/album.asp?fdp=y&album=0&name=Latest%20Experiment And I moved my experiments from the workshop in...
Hi Eric Very nice, my wife might move me right out, all she sees is magnetics and wheels. Lately been playing around with coils, mag reed switch and D size...
Hi all. Has someone experience with soldering Aluminum? I read about someone using 'Alsolder 720' with a propane torch on the BBQ bottle but Altavista only has...
Hi Have done a little work on Aluminum soldering. First is you can use 60/40 normal electronic solder but have to use Kester Soldering Paste Flux Formula...
Hello Wayne. I want to make a new frame for my wheel, this time with aluminum. But I don't want to use bolts (I think) to hold it together. So it's big. Eric. ...
Thanks Ralph. I received an email with a solution: Rolot 604: Round, flux-coated aluminum brazing and welding rods for aluminum and aluminum alloys. It only...
Eric, My ISP went down and all my Yahoogroups mail got bounced could not get back to you so this is a little late. Some may receive this twice, sorry. Subject:...
Hi Ralph. Tanks. That is a very interesting link with the manual on how to work with the aluminum. Eric. ... From: Ralph Lortie To: Ralph Lortie ; Just_Build ;...
I have a Dillon Mark IV torch that does a great job it is now marketed under the name of henrob. It used 1 acetelyne to 1 O2 with low pressure so it does not...
Thanks Norman. I could find the Henrob 2000 on the net. Nice tool. Regards, Eric. ... From: Norman Bollinger To: minatowheel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
Hello all. Can someone visualize the following magnet: a 5" long, by 2 1/2" wide, by 1/2" thick vertically curved magnet ? I'm a bit confused by the words...
Norm and Eric, Preformed a price search on the Henrob Dilon Mark IV, best I could come up with is $289.00 less gas bottles. I also came upon another system,...
Eric, There is nothing stated in my “design and application handbook regarding vertical curve other than position or application of magnet. What comes to my...
Thanks Ralph. It is the way Robert Calloway describes the big stator magnet for his wheel. His 50 magnets are a little bit longer then mine but the stator is a...
Eric, Do you have any links regarding Calloway’s Minato version motor that contains a picture of it? I have a lot of links regarding his other work but none...
Hi Ralph. No, there are no pictures with Calloways wheel on it. I only have his text from Keelynet and until shortly I had a link from my site to a document at...
