The 3 Phase Induction
Electric    Motor
An Alternative View

Back To The Home Page
The Induction Motor has been used extensively for as long as we have used  alternating current electricity to power our modern civilization. The working principles are well known and reasonably easy to understand. The   3 phase motor is said to generate a rotating magnetic field which passes through short circuited non magnetic conductors within a predominately laminated steel     rotor. Electric eddy currents are produced within the conductor bars, and the magnetic field polarity associated with the eddy currents is always aligned to oppose the polarity of the 3 phase current's fields. This forces the rotor to turn in the opposite direction to the rotating 3 phase currents. This motor is cheap, robust and quite efficient. There are many very good animations of the rotating fields on youtube. All are slightly different.

I hesitate to argue against the operational theory of this motor, but for it to be correct, then my ideas that passing a magnetic field through a non magnetic conductor will create a DGF, may be false.

There are 2 types of induction motor, 3 phase and single phase. The first problem encountered is that while both motors have the same type of rotor construction, their operation seems to described differently. The 3 phase is said to be a rotating field, while the single phase is described as a pulsating field.

The next problem is that some designs of 3 phase motors have 2 sets of conductor bars installed within the rotor. The second set is installed further into the  rotor, and all bars are shorted together. This gives better starting torque, and  assists some designs to overcome self starting difficulties, and has no detrimental running characteristics.

As I see this arrangement, the second set of bars is somewhat further from the electromagnet's pole, the field of which will interact with the bars, and should  result in a decreased magnetic interaction and reduced motor torque. To further complicate the situation,  the inner bars are moved closer to the point of rotation, and this would normally also result in less torque. 

A DGF appears to produce maximum power, or torque, at a distance, and this may be an exponential function. For example, a doubling of the distance from the electromagnet's pole to the inner bars may quadruple the torque output from the inner bars, and only an exponential function could explain the extra torque gain.

A property of a DGF is that it will interact with  any other DGF in the vicinity. It will change its outer shape to reflect the pressures exerted on it by other DGFs. The portion of the bar of non magnetic material where the DGF originates will move to the centre of its DGF if this has been distorted, and this will cause rotation as pressure is relieved.

The sine wave form of the AC electricity means that the magnetic flux is pumping out and in from the pole face constantly, a little like the pistons in an engine at 50 or 60 cycles per second. The DGF does not care about polarity, so it is a little like a 4 stroke engine.

0 volts to 250 volts +    >
250 volts+ to 0 volts     <
0 volts to 250 volts-      >
250 volts- to 0 volts.    <

The magnetic flux would be passing through the bars at about 50 KPH.
Meanwhile the other two phases, offset at 120deg and 240 deg would be pumping out and in. All 3 phases would be making small powerful constantly changing DGFs, in a pattern which forces them to act like wedges and turn the rotor.

If this is correct, then some improvements or alterations to the motor could improve efficiency. The first is to install more non magnetic bars right down to the shaft. The second is to make sure the poles are an even number, say 12, and connect the coils so that opposing poles of the same phase are connected in reverse. This would make the flux on the opposite sides of the motor attract towards each other, therefore travel further and faster through more non magnetic metal, creating bigger, more powerful DGFs. The third is to increase the frequency of the 3 phase supply. This would increase the speed that the magnetic flux passes through conductor bars, The fourth may be to remove the outer bar as it may be creating excessive drag. (Slip)

The diagram above shows how the electro magnetic fields would appear inside a 3 Phase induction motor. There are no rotating magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are simply sequentially pumping out and in like pistons, and changing polarity each cycle.
A steel rotor with non magnetic conductor bars is now added. The magnetic fields can be seen to penetrate the conductor bars at varying distances, speed, polarity and intensity.
Here we see Ph1, with fully extended magnetic fields pumping through non magnetic conductor bars. Another field is created, emanating from each conductor bar. These fields are not polarized. They are not magnetic fields. I refer to them as Dynamic Gravitational Fields. DGF. They cannot merge, but will distort to fit the available space. The point of origin will move to a central location if possible. The purple / green colors are for clarity only. The DGFs are created by either polarity magnetic field passing through the non magnetic conductors.
Here we see the DGFs for all 3 phases. These fields are proportional in extent to the magnetic field creating them. Both the small and medium fields  (Ph2 & Ph3) have been distorted by the large fields (Ph1). The conductor bars within their distorted fields will try to move to a more centralized position. This will force the rotor to move in a clockwise direction. The DGFs will inflate and deflate as long as 3 phase power is applied to the coils. The only thing rotating is the rotor.
                                      The next problem is the 3 Phase Induction Generator.

The way that I see how this works is similar to the above working of the 3 Phase  motor. The 3 Ph magnetic fields do not rotate, but act as magnetic pistons being forced through non magnetic conductors. The fields created are almost identical to those pictured above, but because an external force is being applied to overspeed the rotor, the DGFs are much more powerful. The interaction between these fields as they constantly slide past each other produces voltage at each coil, enough to create a reverse flow.

The idea that the sliding interaction between Dynamic Gravitational Fields produces electricity is described elsewhere in these pages. The interaction between the Sun's DGF and Earth's DGF rotating past each other at about 1 million kilometres per hour difference produces our planetary ionosphere. Mainstream science has no idea about the cause or value of the vast ionospheric voltages.  Diffuse blue plasma glow, or daylight, is a major use. Hidden in plain sight.

The entire universe is filled with these DGFs, all interacting at varying velocities, creating plasma barriers and forcing all the rotating bodies (generators of the DGFs), to keep their spacing.
