servo motor assisted magnet motor

ok guys here is another video.

Hi Jose,

I guess the next step is to try and use the rotational torque from the rotor to replace the servo motor.  At what point does the ?pivot magnet? have to pivot when the rotor magnet slides past it?

(Some of the Torbay replication attempts are using a "repel magnet arrangement" to have the pivot magnet move up and down or slide in and out.)

Regards,

Hello Danway, in order to keep it going I have to pivot the magnet right when the rotor magnet is on the edge of the pivot magnet.
  we need to find a way to use the torque force from the rotor to push the pivot magnet away (in the attraction configuration that is).and i think could be possible if find the right balance with another magnets on back of pivot magnet and also find a way to "mimic"the movement of the rotor magnet so we can have the minimum resistance possible right?
we can do it!

Hi Jose,

I like your efforts with the servo motor, is that a modified motor? i.e. no servo electronics in it? It could well be more efficient if controlled via a pic chip.
But we want to get rid of that servo anyway so perhaps that is off topic.

I think you would be better off with a rotor disk, (instead of arm) try and get it as heavy as you can while still using the servo motor to break the sticky spot. When you have loaded it up as much as possible and you still have the servo making it rotate you may then think about getting rid of the servo and replacing it with some form of cam or lever that is operated off of the rotor.

Only you know what force is at that sticky spot, i suspect it is quite a bit and the rotor may well come to a grinding stop when you add a cam to knock the magnet up. Still, its worth a try.

Keep trying

Cheers

how are doing Craig?
thanks for the reply.
you are correct! this is a modified servo with no electronics involved; only 2 sw to move the magnet.
  this was just a prototype just to see what woyuld it take to make make a full turn of the rotor, the next move is to  combine the use of other magnets to make the move of the sticking magnets almost effortless.
thank you craig.
