Confirmation of OU devices and claims

Dear wattsup.

For me personally the use of the @ symbol I find mildly offensive. Grumage, Grum or just plain Graham will do nicely.   

To answer your initial questions the rotor made from Polycarbonate measures 168 mm diameter and is
9.5 mm thick. The centre hole is 8 mm. I'm intending to use a 10 mm diameter Silver Steel shaft with the end turned down to suit the disc. I have a pair of 6000 C3 bearings to support the assembly.

The magnets are old Neodymium measuring 15 mm by 4 mm and can just hold 900 grams of Steel billet.

More information to come as my build progresses.

Cheers Graham.

Hi Grumage. Some people put the '@' symbol in front of a name to help draw attention that this portion of the
comment is directed to a specific person. There is nothing offensive intended when people use the '@' symbol
like that.

Dear Void.

Well perhaps it's my age or just plain old fashioned, I don't particularly like it. My problem, I guess.

Cheers Graham.

I wonder if transformer laminates are more appropriate (as I have many of them).
I also salvaged an electric screwdriver and took out its 18V 1800RPM motor. I'll report its performance even I have spotted an old AC universal one. Looks like it can be converted for dc input operation. 

My question guys is what are you going to use as for the heavy iron disk? Is anything other except of a car that can be salvaged??

Hi Jeg.

This is one of the areas of conjecture, I'm rather lucky as I have many different cast Iron flywheels to choose from. But what size/weight, 20 Lbs is quite a mass? Are we looking to just carry the drive motor over the off period of the commutator? Would 14 Lbs be ok?

Now whilst we're in " contemplation mode " 

How many previous tinkerers actually used a " wet " Lead acid battery for the device. I know I didn't. Could there be a difference at the " Ionic " level? It's the Ionic reversal that was supposed to be the MO according to what I've read.

Cheers Graham.
