Magnetic Engine Video

@floor,

Thanks for your support.

What I feel is our knowledge about magnets, magnetism and magnetic field is very much limited and if we go on experimenting with magnets we may find lots of new strange things.

I have seen your mirrror mag engine. It is a nice work. We have to build it and verify.

@Vidar,

I appreciate your interest and sincerity in work.  Wish you good luck!

May I know on what basis you have designed that drop cam?  The 90 degree fall in that cam should correspond to height of fall of the shield.  If not magnet will not be exposed and you will not get required repelling force.  Circumference of the cam should be corresponding to complete movement of pendulum or piston in one cycle and shield should fall when piston / pendulum comes closer to the fixed magnet at desired position.

Have you considered all these things?

Feelings do not evidence make.  Actual reliable data that contradicts predictions based on current understanding is required to show defects in current understanding which can then lead to improved understanding.

My 3D printer isn't so big, so I must use smaller magnets. A coulpe of those small round ones in my "magnet picture".
The fall is not more than 50mm.
I also think the cam will result in great friction and inaccurate lifting process. I will make a try. If I cant continue due to many obstacles I have to think new. I wont spend weeks to complete this experiment.
I use Google Sketchup to make the model. Then convert it into a STL-file that I import in to Slicer software. In that software I set PLA temp, bed temp, layer hight, infill properties etc. Then I save it as a gcode-file the Arduino printer understands. The actual printing process is sent by Pronterface software.


I already know the outcome if the mechanical is a success (It will never be over unity - even without friction), but I build it for educational purpose only.

I am happy to see the possible improvement your concept represents,
over my design, in that the shield is not completely withdrawn from between
the magnets.

I am attaching two drawings or interpretations of your device.
Please let me know if I have understood your set up correctly.
