A sincere gentleman sharing a magnet motor build .[NDA issues??]

Here's the latest video. I couldn't get it to balance with the ROUND neos, so switched to the rectangular ceramics. I got the magnets at Lowes.

I haven't fine tuned them yet, but I can see they pull the magnet into the stator. The attraction of the ceramics is pretty weak though.

And here is where the book we were directed to comes into play, especially the pages that we were pointed to on the EF web site posting. Tuning the ramps so that they do what we want them to do. Without that part of it, doesn't matter how many magnets and ramps I put around the circle, it isn't going to work. And maybe it won't work anyway. But I'm going to find out for sure! Pssst! If it DOES work, nobody tell TinselKoala!

Hmmm, I'm headed to Australia in a month or so. Wonder if that's where he's from, with that name? It's such a SMALL country I'll no doubt bump into him the minute I get off the plane!

Jimboot,
I'll have to check with the wife. She's the mastermind behind this adventure. I'll tell you one thing...before we started talking about this trip, I had always thought of Australia as a little island in the ocean. But when you start to look at DISTANCES between cities there, I have come to realize just how freaking big that "little island" is. It's about the SAME size as the United States. I had NO idea. I guess I have just led a sheltered life, either that or I never paid attention in Geography class! That's far more likely. And what an AMAZING country. I'm not looking forward to 14 hours on an airplane to get there, but I am looking forward to the destination.
