Summary

This is an example of how two dynamos can be connected to each other to balance out the load across a split-field transformer.

When LOAD 1 is greater than LOAD 2, the increased amperage flow through LOAD 1 causes DYNAMO 1 to act as a motor, driving DYNAMO 2 as a generator and transferring excess power to the other side onto COIL B.

If LOAD 2 is greater than LOAD 1, the rotor will spin the other direction, moving power from Dynamo 2 to Dynamo 1.

When LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 are equally balanced, the rotor between the two dynamos can completely stop moving. There are mechanical forces present due to the current from LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 passing through the respective Dynamos, but the driving forces perfectly balance each other out.

Created as a geek's exercise in pushing a program beyond its design limits, using Microsoft Word 2000 as the drawing program (Ick!), and screenshotted at 200% size and saved as a PNG using Microsoft Windows XP Paint (Gack!).
