Friedrich Luling Magnet Motor

Thank you

But this model will not work because I must start over and create it more precise and with better materials than plastic...

Here is my new idea of design: https://youtu.be/oAvcmSFOfns

I will start ASAP...will update here

Regarding the animation - how do you keep the metal from getting stuck at the magnet?

It  has been a while since i did the research on this motor the force holding the metal blocks when near the magnet  is not strong using my hand i successfully  could make the motor spin easy when rocking the blocks back and forward on the magnets with the model i made,  the difficulty is with the cam system getting it right, i still think it can work but have been to busy to do any work on it lately its timing and the materials used that are important.

It is very hard, if not impossible, to determine the energy you spend with your hands to make this motor going.
A weak magnet, and with a motor without load, you will barely feel any counterwork done on your hand.
Using a cam system will most probably cause the weak motor to stop. The easiest explanation why it will stop is because magnetism isn't energy. It's just a force.

you are wrong there my model is made of solid steel and welded nearly lost a finger tip as the force of the rotor approaches the magnets there is real force and not just a bit as i said problem  is the timing.i used neodymium magnets x2 on each face when it is near the face of the rotor  you cant stop it it is not a kids motor, and mine is only small imagine a big one. 
I used steel because its all i had but what i really want is cast iron for the rotor plates i can't find any hear where i am as it adds even more to the attraction force when you get serious about building this motor
there are real forces involved and you have to be careful with it.

I'd be interested to learn more about your magnet-motor research. Would you be willing to share some pictures of what you are doing?
