The Self-powered Generator of Donnie Watts
IN 1992, RICHARD CLEM OF TEXAS, DEMONSTRATED A SELF-POWERED ENGINE OF AN UNUSUAL TYPE. THIS ENGINE WHICH HE HAD BEEN DEVELOPING FOR TWENTY YEARS OR MORE, WEIGHS ABOUT 200 POUNDS (90 KILOS) AND IT GENERATED A MEASURED OUTPUT OF 350 HORSEPOWER CONTINUOUSLY OVER THE FULL PERIOD OF A NINE-DAY SELFPOWERED TEST. ALTHOUGH THIS ENGINE RUNS FROM 1800 TO 2300 RPM AND SO IS ESPECIALLY SUITED TO POWERING AN ELECTRICAL GENERATOR, RICHARD DID INSTALL ONE IN A CAR AND ESTIMATED THAT THE CAR WOULD RUN FOR 150,000 MILES WITHOUT ANY NEED FOR ATTENTION AND WITHOUT ANY KIND OF FUEL. RICHARD SAID THAT HIS CAR HAD REACHED A SPEED OF 105 MPH. JUST AFTER RECEIVING FUNDING TO PRODUCE HIS ENGINE, RICHARD DIED SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY AT AROUND THE AGE OF 48. THE DEATH CERTIFICATE HAD “HEART ATTACK” WRITTEN ON IT AS THE CAUSE OF DEATH. HIS DEATH WAS REMARKABLY CONVENIENT FOR THE OIL COMPANIES WHICH WOULD HAVE LOST A MAJOR AMOUNT OF MONEY THROUGH REDUCED FUEL SALES IF RICHARD’S CAR HAD GONE INTO PRODUCTION. THE CLEM MOTOR IS UNUSUAL IN THAT IT IS A ROTARY TURBINE STYLE DESIGN WHICH RUNS AT A TEMPERATURE OF 300o F (140o C) AND BECAUSE OF THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE, USES COOKING OIL AS ITS OPERATIONAL FLUID DUE TO ITS HIGHER BOILING POINT. THE MOTOR IS UNUSUAL IN THAT IT IS A ROTARY TURBINE STYLE DESIGN. IN BROAD OUTLINE, THE OIL IS PUMPED THROUGH A PIPE AND INTO THE NARROW END OF A CONE SHAPED ROTOR. THE ENGINE IS STARTED BY A PUMP PUMPING OIL INTO THE ENGINE UNTIL THE SELF-SUSTAINING ROTATIONAL SPEED IS REACHED. THE RAPID SPINNING OF THE CONE CAUSES OIL TO BE DRAWN UP GROOVES CUT INTO THE CONE (INSIDE THE OUTER CONICAL HOUSING) AND EXIT THROUGH ANGLED NOZZLES AT THE LARGE END OF THE CONE, PROVIDING SELF-SUSTAINING THRUST THERE.
THE OPERATING PRESSURE PRODUCED BY THE PUMP IS 300 TO 500 PSI. RICHARD DID NOT ATTEMPT TO PATENT HIS ENGINE AS US PATENT 3,697,190 OF 1972 WAS SO CLOSE IN DESIGN THAT RICHARD FELT THAT HE WOULD NOT BE GRANTED A PATENT.
IT APPEARS THAT THE CLEM ENGINE COULD ALSO BE USED AS A HEATER OR IT COULD PROVIDE WATER PURIFICATION AS WELL AS GENERATING POWER. A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE CLEM ENGINE HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY DONNIE WATTS. HIS VERSION RUNS COLD AND IS SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR HOME CONSTRUCTION. THE REALLY IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT DONNIE WATTS’ ENGINE IS THAT IT IS AN EXPONENTIAL POWER ENGINE. THE OUTPUT POWER IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE ROTATIONAL SPEED, SO IF YOU DOUBLE THE REVOLUTION SPEED THEN THE OUTPUT POWER QUADRUPLES. ALSO, THE POWER OUTPUT IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE ROTOR DIAMETER, SO IF YOU DOUBLE THE DIAMETER OF THE ROTOR CYLINDER, THEN THE OUTPUT POWER QUADRUPLES. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU DOUBLE THE RPM AND DOUBLE THE DIAMETER, THEN THE OUTPUT POWER GOES UP BY A FACTOR OF SIXTEEN TIMES !! TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE POWER OUTPUT, A TINY 10-INCH (250mm) DIAMETER CYLINDER VERSION OF THE MOTOR CAN OUTPUT 7.5 KILOWATTS, SO IT CAN EASILY DRIVE A GENERATOR WHICH CAN POWER A HOUSEHOLD. BECAUSE THE OUTPUT POWER KEEPS GOING UP AS THE MOTOR INCREASES IN SPEED, IT IS VITAL TO FIT AND ADJUST A VALVE WHICH LIMITS THE RATE OF WATER FLOW INTO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A BASIC COP=4 MOTOR, THAT IS, THE OUTPUT POWER IS FOUR TIMES GREATER THAN THE INPUT POWER. JUST LIKE STARTING A CAR ENGINE, IT IS NECESSARY TO START THE MOTOR WITH A 500- WATT WATER PUMP, BUT WHEN THE ROTATION REACHES 60 RPM THE SUCTION INSIDE THE CYLINDER IS ENOUGH TO OPERATE WITHOUT THE PUMP (ALTHOUGH THE PUMP CAN BE LEFT ON IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT). HOWEVER, IT IS VITAL TO HAVE A VALVE WHICH LIMITS THE RATE OF INFLOW OF WATER INTO THE MOTOR BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T THEN THE MOTOR WILL ACCELERATE CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT BREAKS DOWN FROM EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE. IN PRINCIPLE, THE MOTOR DESIGN IS LIKE THIS :
Some equipment to buy and tools for DIY practice are also mentioned there. Here's the full how-to article: The Donnie Watts Generator
🔹 Version from Nikola Tesla's "Magnifying Transmitter"
🔹 The "tension" for "electricity fractionation" to occur is the Earth's Potential Potential. To be precise, it is the tension of the Ether, and the electricity is the dynamic polarization of the Ether.
🔹 During "Electricity segment", the magnetic field collapses several times in short periods of time. That leads the voltage V = Φ/t to reach infinity (V → ∞) when t → 0
- V - The electromotive force which results from the production or consumption of the total magnetic induction Φ (Phi). The unit is the “Volt”. Where t is the time of magnetic field collapse from maximum to complete collapse.
- Research scholars also call it Tesla's technology called Radiant Energy from Electronic Circuits, Impulse Technology.
