Working SMOT ramp from Tom Ferko ?

Good concept on the tuneable arm. If the single rail does well maybe we'll have to have a fund raiser to complete the setup.

Hey guys, I'm back.

So I'm still waiting for the large ring magnets to show up in the mail. I think that link I received a couple post ago is a good price for the magnets so I'll probably order some of those in a few days or so. As soon as I get the 4.5" ring magnets I will try the linear rail set up with ceramic magnets and see how it works. Is there any other comments about the current design I am working with that might help? Also, I can't remember if galvanized metal is magnetic?

d3': what do you think of my rocking arm design? Do you think I should try to do something with ball bearings or maybe something else? Also, do you think I should start another threat for my design? I don't want to have two topics in one thread.

I was also thinking the other day what would a good descriptive name be for it and I think a technical name would be a(if is would work ) :

Gaussian Flux Generator (GFG)

Like I said before, this is the first rotor/stator design I have seen that I have hope for. Using the stagger smot vid as reference it would appear to have a positive net outcome. Perpendicular trajectories are often know for having better results than linear design types, I am almost certain that you got something here. Again it means the 3 critia that I have formulated for a working motor. The only possible drawback is the stick spot and how to create an escape velocity/momentum from it. the stagger system the tom so brilliantly came up with seems to have weakened the sticky in the spot, is it enough, thats the million dollar question. I think you should use an aluminium framework, its cheap, light, strong, nonferrous, and available almost everywhere in every size. I would use skate board/roller blade bearings, they are good high speed sealed bearings, and again availble everywhere. My biggest problem with building anything is finding parts, right now I need 2 6" 48 pitch gears, 2 5" 48 pitch, and a couple of 3" so I can work on a couple projects, and I can't find them anywhere on the planet, well except if I have them custom made for like 2 grand. Find a 10" wide strip of AL (you'll probly find it in 12") and about 3 foot (and a couple inches) long and make your stator frame. And lastly given how far this has gone I think it has turned into its own topic. I talk to you on the new thread.

The name sounds a bit to technically inflated (to me, just an opinion). I would pick something a little more every day man language. Stagger Stator PMM? Just a thought.

Hi Guys,

I am still experimenting with my particular design.

In the meantime I ran across this U tube video that proves once and for all that an all permanent magnet/iron motor can be made and will operate. All skeptics should see this.

Click this link and watch this simple device work by itself for 5 seconds.   Maybe we can replicate it and make it into a larger form??   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOKHZ53g6788mode=related&search=    Then on the top of this page enter these words in the SEARCH box.    "perpetual motion made with fridge magnets"

Then click on "magnet motor" and watch.   

Do you think this simple rotor is an iron bar allowed to pivot in the center of a disk magnet or is the magnet the rotating bar centered and pivoting on a iron disk?   In any case the whole setup would attract the 6 iron bearings.

This video is inconclusive. All that one can conclude is that he found the sweet spot of fields to lessen the friction and or resistance of the fields. I think if he would have set the spinning magnet on a table top and spun it with the same force it would have spun for as much if not longer. Plus, the video shows it stopping. I saw this video last week. I could be wrong but magnets can be vary deceiving to the eye.
