Thane heins Rodin pulse motor

[twinbeard]

Huh same thing. I used an old thermometer container tube and melted some teflon into the base and regular  squirts of WD40. Spent a LOT of time on the floor looking for neos. lots of fine plastic powder.

The tube/ziptie combo seem to work pretty well, all things considered.  The reason I was able to get the higher speeds, in my opinion, was the size of the rotor.  The smaller the better...  .125 is what I am using now, but I got a batch of 3mm (.1125) that I will be trying out soon.  Less mass to drive:)

Are the smaller ones more stable? The smallest I had was 6mm. The voltages you were mentioning earlier was that off the 3mm? Your vid isn't working on my browser here I'll watch when I get home.

Yeah, but you don't have as much play with them on the Z axis (in and out of the coil) as with the larger ones.  I am triggering with a coil, not a hall, so I have to be able to keep the fields interacting properly.  Yes, those voltages and frequencies are from the small 1/8" rotors.  They will still fly all over the place if you do not put them in a housing... that is, if you can get it started without a housing, which I was not able to do.  I have to jumpstart it with the "satellite effect" from a totally different motor with a 1" rotor to get it to start triggering/running.  It can bounce around a little in the housing, depending on how good the fit is.

@Twinbeard,
                     Thank you for the kind words. Good to hear from you again. I'm Allen Burgess currently back at Energetic Forum.
@Jimboot,
                Here's a video of a 1" neo spinning inside a PVC coupling (Twinbeard's idea!). This is my Pop Tart Rodin Coil. The sphere is silently levitating at unmeasurable Laser Tach velocity, looped back to source.

Thanks synchro,
Here's a dumb question. When I split the drive Rodin coil to only run on one set of nine windings it ran faster at lower amps. Only 9 wraps. Would I see a further gain if I wrapped a coil at only 6 or 3? Think I'll try it out anyway. At around 30k rpm at 300ma draw I get 240v on my gen coil. I think I could run it faster (rotor not sphere) and get lower amp draw and greater charge in my gen.
