Gravity Assisted magnetic motor (GAMM)

[Dingus Mungus]

Also, at 90 degree mark - where the stator magnet and the rotor magnet are at their closest - it would take energy to pull out of that 'spot' to continue the cycle.
Interesting idea, but seems like a 0 net force system.

You would have to read the concept discription above the picture for a full understanding of the concept, but as I stated, The non-magnetic wieghts must be heavy enough to pull the armature magnet away from the stick zone. With that in mind, the wheels cog point should be at the point that there are four arms down and four arms up. When the wheel is in that state my hope is a minor anount of momentum (2-10 RPM) combined with the attraction @ 90 degrees should allow this device to transfer a massive ammount of tourqe per 1/8th cycle. Altho this is all just a concept, so any input is equally as viable, but like I said, the whole concept is based arround the requirements stipulated in the prediscription above the picture... A friend was making several simulations in solidworks while I worked in FEMM. We have both found some interesting configurations, but are now thinking that even if the device is feasible, it wouldn't be practical as a source of energy. My interests are now directed at a pendulum adaptation of torbays work or the use of a minato wheel combined with electromagnetic and mechanical stators.
