Magnet motor idea hopefully solved

This is really interesting Vidar! I'm looking forward to seeing the development of your idea!!

Thanks. I'm still working on it

If somebody have a good idea on how to make good gears, let me know. I need a 4:1 gear ratio. Each pulley have 6 "teeth" that fits the belt links, but need to wind "backwards" (relative to the rotor) 24 links of the chain for each 15 degree turn. I printed a small gear, but the 5mm shaft is almost too wide to get any solid material between the teeth. The gear version in earlier post with 10 teeth is too big and will wind back only 12 links. And then the polarity swap on the belt will move 1 degree forward while the rotors turns 2 degrees. I need 0 degrees motion of the belt itself.
I can print with a smaller nozzle, 0.1mm, to get presice small gears with more teeth on it, but I'm afraid the plastic gears will stuck on the circular stationary teeth array that surrounds the rotor.


First test will be without winding gears to examine the concept more easily. Only a thread attached to the belt that I can rewind with.

Working with neos is a pain. Finally finished approx 2 meters of magnetic chain. All that fits on a 25cm diameter rotor...
However, it is obvious that the spokes needs reinforcement.
The whole chain compress the pulleys towards eachother.
Attached pictures of my "christmast tree".
Haven't received the statormagnets yet.

I'm making a 18cm diameter, 36mm hight cylinder. This will be placed between the rotors so the spokes doesn't get bent towards each other.
Hopefully that will work better.
