The bearing motor

[Magluvin]

This statement is very important,and the sole reason i have spent the time on this project. In this situation we need to apply an electrical current to create magnetic field's.
Now,think about this very carfully
For this motor to work,it dose NOT need an AC current. This motor will work just as well on a direct current<--Do you know what that means??. This means that the magnetic fields being created do not change. This also means that if we know what and where these magnetic fields are,we can replace the DC current that creates these magnetic fields with PM's.

Im hoping MH will stick with us on this one,as i believe that an all magnet motor could actually be designed from this bearing motor. There is no magnetic field created by DC current that cannot be created by PM's. I believe that MH him self said that the fields within a DC electromagnet are no different to that of a PM's field.

Why dose it take a DC current to create the magnetic field around the wire to get the simple 1 battery homopolar motor spining?. What is different to the field around the wire carrying the current than of the field around a PM?.

Tomorrow i will try placeing a PM on the outer bearing housing,and see what happens. Then i will place one on the shaft near the inner race,and see what happens.

Imagine current flowing in the balls of the bearing, say from the outer race to the inner race, while the bearing is stationary. Each ball bearing will have a field around them like say the rings of saturn. The field spin will be on axis with the current flow. So when we give the bearing a spin, the rings around saturn will tilt a bit, become off axis. This is the offset Im thinking of.  Ac or DC, doesnt matter. Once set in motion, the offsets and race fields will still be set in a way that what ever current direction may be, all of the fields developed by the balls and races just reverse, causing continued rotation with each phase of current flow. DC is probably best. Not sure yet. AC may cause more heat due to fluctuating fields in the bearing material.

Check out this guy.  He should enter into the next pulse motor build off!

OK.  I read the info in the link from the video and I get how it spins...but how the hell does it levitate?  Energy comes from solar cells but...those other levitating devices take some real power so...how is this hovering?????????  I saw no pm in the base at all and certainly no electro-mag.  I am very impressed and confused at the same time.  If I had $145, I would buy one.

Its possible that placing one mag somewhere on the outer race may not produce an equal offset on all the balls. Try anyway though.  Im thinking one at the end of the shaft, like N or S in and one at the other end of the shaft, trying N then S in. Same poles in, say N in, then the whole shaft will emanate N field.  Then also a N in on one end and S in on the other could be the way to go also.

Then again, it may not help at all. lol   So try as many mag positions as possible as to not miss anything.  If the mags help but self starting doesnt work but seems to bias the rotor more in one direction than the other, then a stronger mag is needed.

It's floating in fluid Bill.

Oh...Duh!  I read about the sphere within the sphere but it looked like he was so careful in placing it on the stand like it was in hover position.  I just looked again and...who the heck would pay 140 bucks for that?

OK, now I feel stupid.

Thanks for the explanation Brad.
