Tragic accident with ball magnet EMDR motor-generator

[gauschor]

Aside from this tragic incident I just wondered, why we haven't a topic about this kind of generator in this forum...?

The "Bearingless bedini" thread from Energetic forum tailed off with Pirate Twinbeard's supersonic spins. Now these Germans are running three transistors in parallel, and going that fast. Twinbeard ran primary flyback from his Starship coil into his solenoid output coil to accelerate the sphere with "Lenz Delay". The trio of transistors in the German schematic makes the drive circuit much simpler! The magnet sphere turns into a power plant toward desintigration r.p.m.

I think the real lesson in this tragedy is to ask yourself why.   Why did they try to spin up the ball to super high speed?  Was there a reason for doing that?  I doubt that there was.  People make these things and then try to push up the speed for pure sport, there is no real reason related to research.  It's the equivalent of a child playing with matches.  Hopefully others will learn from this.

That's just fantasy talk like usual.  Lots of talk but not much in terms of tests and results.   If you believe what you are saying then present some data to back up your claims.

Yeasterday we had a Google Hangout Videochat  about the safety aspect of the ball magnet
motors.

Unfortunately only in German language, so if you understand German language, have a look at this

I would say that normal caution would have prevented the accident.

One tests the thing with relatively low input and not too high turning rate. Nasty whining sounds are a clear indication that one approaches danger.

For an extreme test one switches the thing to a higher input power from behind a wall (or from an other room) with a longish cable. If one wants to watch a cheap web cam would do the trick.

I agree that many people spin their contraptions too fast with their faces close by. I might have done that occasionally and will be more careful from now on. I have learned that from this story.

A turning machine, a engine lathe or an angle grinder are far more dangerous than these experiments as long as one exercises natural caution. I read that the hand held electric planers cause the most gruesome accidents and angle grinders hurt a lot of feet.

The most dangerous thing people do in the rich countries is eating too much and the wrong products.
