New permanent magnet motor on youtube from Roobert33

Chet:

Great idea.  This, at least, might give us an insight into his mindset.  This design is elegant and well built, so what I want to know is, did he try, and try this and it did not work?  Or, was this a red herring from the start?

And, if so, why?

We all might just learn something that might help us in the future.

And now it seems I wasted my time yesterday, adding sound to the original video to time the speed, just to learn that Youtube was broken so I couldn't upload.... 
Well, today Youtube works again and if you want you can check out my video here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMkeC2ApNO0

Nice job Jubjub.

Actually, if you listen to the beeps carefully, you will see that the rpm is fairly erratic throughout, as I mentioned before.

I spent quite a bit of time on this idea several years ago and from my tests I believe this is possible and probably genuine.  I'm still not convinced it will have enough torque to do much work (yet), but I believe this design would run until something wears out.  If the wheel were much larger that would help and using more powerful magnets would give more torque as well.  Once the torque is there, it's just a matter of adding some gearing to get a generator up to speeds needed to provide some useful power generation.
