new magnet motor idea

[rstergar]

hi,

i dont know if something like this already exist...so i create quick animation and drawing how i imagine this magnet motor...

update with 3 magnets (more torque): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV5GYAWh0r8

it will be great if somebody try to create prototype and see if this works

what do you think?

Nice idea. I don't see how it gets past the sticky spot though. I think the green circle will be the strongest point of attraction in that cycle. So the blue will attract it there and the red will start to push it to that point as well.

I had this idea on how to build a magnet motor without the sticky spot.

The outer cylinder magnet can also be some non-magnetic weight to provide the offset from centrifugal force once it's running.
It should accelerate up until the centrifugal force pulls the attracting cylinder away from the ring magnet causing a loss in drive until it slows down.

Good idea. Took me a while to figure out why this may not work. I assume your connection rods are all rigid so that nothing is able to move except for the unit as one piece as it slides around on basically a magnetic circular track.

If that's the case then I think you have only "visually" moved the pivot but the "actual" pivot is still at the center of the system. If we replace your repelling magnets with a wood structure that pivots at the center, your "attract" magnet pulls straight through the center of the system which results in no movement. It's basically a complicated looking way of accomplishing the image on the left that has one brown/wood rod with an attract magnet on the end. The pull force pulls straight along the wood, through the exact pivot point, resulting in no movement.

If you could find a way to pull or push the system along the yellow line so that it doesn't go through it's "exact" central pivot point, then you would get movement.
