Magnet motor idea hopefully solved

[Low-Q]

Very cool build, it looks like a piece of kinetic art. Hopefully you meet success.

Thanks Broli. It would be very cool if I pull this off - and with open source like this forum, anyone can replicate it - no patents, no requests for investors for million dollar foundings
I have still not found mechanical reasons why it can't work, so time will show.
Still waiting for ballbearings, and the build of a statormagnet hasn't been started yet.

Testing rewinding gears. This is a 10T gear. Maybe 8T is better, as the teeth gets larger with better grip.
Still waiting for the ballbearings to arrive. I have the tracking number, so they are on its way.

The bearings for alle the pulleys has arrived Norway, and they are hopefully in my mailbox this evening or tomorrow.
No new pictures this time.
I can however say that this concept has been posted among people with good understanding in physics, and they cannot tell where or what will stop this motor from running. At least it gives me hope that there is a concept that no one has ever thinked of before. Something new. If this motor doesn't work, I am still happy to know that the concept has never before been published, even though I might think that someome in the world should have had the same or similar idea before me.


Best of all, if this thing works, the idea and the construction drawings are already public, and open source. But I wonder if it is legal for someone else to patent an idea that is already public domain. I have no plan for patents, but I am afraid if someone patent the idea in their name, and restrict everyone to replicate or build this for commercial use - for example in places where electricity is not possible to make, but can assist in making waterwell-pumps or generators in poor dry countries.

Hi Vidar

A device or method cannot be patented unless it is new.  Once published that device or cannot be considered as new.

I didn't  understand the working concept but as for as my experience, you need a tangential force to rotate a pulley or a wheel.  In your shown figure, the stater magnet will simply push out the repelling portion of chain and pull in the attractive portion of the chain. There is no tangential force to keep the pulley rotating.  ( if I have got it right)
May be I am wrong.  Wish you good luck.
