Break through!

Maybe we can work this out like adults. How about this we agree that there will be two types of open sourcing, Theory Open Sourcing and Working Device Open Sourcing?
The person states at the begining which class his work falls into. If one doesn't like working with theory then he stays off the thread by choice.
Every tree starts with a seed, we need all the ideas we can get.
We also need help in getting the working device verified and to market.
Each of these needs a place to be accepted and grow.
Thanks,

Sounds right to me, Butch.  All flamers and trolls, get outta here.

Butch,

Just an idea: What if you use permanent springs to force the discs together. The magnetic field in phase 2 will go through the solid bar, so the springs are now able to press the discs together. In phase 1 the discs are closest to the magnets and will be forced apart due to the like pole all the discs are facing. In this phase there is less steel to guide the magnetic flux, so the magnets want to use the solid parts of the rotor. So then the rotor rotates to ligne up the solid steel. Now, the discs are out of the magnetic field and the springs will overcome the magnetic force and compress the discs together again to make a "solid" steel. This will in turn let the rotor continue into phase 1 again, and the cycle repeats.

The delay in the mass of the discs will be sufficient to make an offset which will make sure of a stable and continous rotation.

Just some thoughts.

Great Idea! That should work.
Thanks,

When separated the outer parts have its greatest mass aligned with the magnetic field, and will not turn away, but will be kept locked in the magnetic field. I think your first example with the discs are better. If it works better i practice, I don't know.
