New permanent magnet motor on youtube from Roobert33

This has been already discussed and it is pretty trivial -- moving along equipotential surfaces when friction is absent requires no work. No discovery here.

Hi OmniBot!
Very funny, like you didn't need several forums and over 20000 replies before you "understood" that....
What a joke...

To spinn_MP & Omni....could we just please avoid two pages of arguments ,...I'm sorry but I"M on dial-up.........it takes forever to load a page .....photos take forever.....everybody knows' something ,...no sense argueing,........just share ideas,...who knows something somebody says might get your wheels turning the right direction.......just a thought...shylo

@All,

Stefan has just posted a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9R7IJ-lYjA&feature=player_embedded which looks very much like what I'm trying to do (see: http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=10034.msg265899#msg265899). However, the guy seems to be doing it without a cam. I wonder if he gives the drum an initial push as the vid seems to indicate. Quite slight, though, as it seems. Would be interesting to have this fellow come to this forum and explain a little bit more. Someone has noted in the discussion section of the vid that the wind down time might be longer had he not put the stator magnets, the latter serving only as brakes. Wonder if that's the case.

It appears that although overall it is winding down there are moments of acceleration. Would be interesting to see the whole process from start to finish, possibly without any hint of initial push. You may remember a similar behavior in @xpenzif's experiment. Another thing that makes an impression is that there' a gap between the beginning and the end of the spiral. They don't coincide vertically. Also, the magnets of the rotor are light compared to the rest of the construction and their mass can be neglected leaving only the field to be as their contribution.

As for the experiment I'm doing, I'm in the process of picking up since I came back to the states. Because I couldn't have the main pieces with me (especially the axis) due to these airport regulations and check-ups I have to have it made again here and it takes time. Will have to wait for the cam too. The rest seems easier to recover. That's it folks. The road of the OU researcher isn't strewn with roses.

@Shilo -OK, fair points, i'm off of this arguments....
