Mervace Working Magnetic motor using induction feedback

[Omnibus]

@All,

I don't think there will be much use of this quessing game before @mervace gives us more details about his device.


P.S. Did you notice what happened near the end of the video? Was that supposed to be funny?

I'm a bit curious about the solenoid, with the built-in reed switch. If this is a common configuration, forgive me - as I am not familiar with it.

How was this solenoid/switch device used in the original (microwave oven) application? What functions did it perform? How is such a configuration useful for switching current to the magnetron, as Merv mentions in the video - why not a conventional electromagnetic relay, etc?

On another note, others have mentioned the need for a diode rectifier in the circuit, but it appears that no such diode is in use. Before the era of solid-state or even vacuum rectifiers, chemical rectifiers were in use. Chemical rectifiers are not that different from electrolytic capacitors - they appear as a high resistance in one polarity, and a near-short in the reverse polarity. While I have little idea how this motor actually works, the chemical rectification concept might be worth considering - or at least eliminating.

Psst.. hey, Omnibus.. You have over three thousand posts of Finsrud and SMOT love, over at "the other" forum. Why can't you just respect the wishes of others, and keep these discussions out of this thread?

@legendre,

Usually I'm drawn into these endless discussions. The wishes of the participants are not always to be respected. Suppose these wishes are to blabber nonsense instead of sensible things. That's not something that calls for respect.

Besides, SMOT is very much appropriate here. Ultimately, that's the principle in this case too.

Yes, if somebody could find this out, please post the answer over here.
I have already tried to find something via Google,
but maybe my search words were not right yet...

I also want to know, how the coil with integrated reed switch worked and how
the reed switch is wired inside it !
Many thanks.

Hello
The answer as to whether the twisted pair is iron or not should be obvious, Does the long wire move when the magnet passes by in the video? No    A long metal twisted wire anchored only on one end would move a noticable amount if a magnet was anywhere near it. hence no iron.

Hmm, as this is no big magnet the movement might not be very visible in the 2 posted videos..

Merv is just teasing us more and more...

Why is he doing this ?

To buildup much more interest ?

To be more famous, or what does he want to achieve ?
