Steorn demo device

[Nostradam]

Hi All

New interesting information available now about "Steorn Toy" at Steorn forum in this thread http://www.steorn.net/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=34731&page=1#Item_0

We have now real practice details to begin some research and development

Ok here is how the toy worked (note that this is just an example of our technology, the actual toy was not designed by Steorn but made for internal proof by our partner).

The small (half weight) starts in the primed postion (i.e. gravity will force it to fall and hence is energy into the system). This weight falling rotates the small wheel. Then the large wheel moves circa 30 degrees causing the large weight to lift (the work done). Then the large wheel returns to the start position. The toy stops and starts with the same magnetic potential energy but has done work.

*********

It is just a 'simple' proof of concept built by others to convince themselves. I know that trying to replicate it without the magnet arrangement (in the black epoxy) will get you no where - sorry!

*********

Q: " I assume that the kinetic energy of the small wheel, driven by the weight, is what causes the  large wheel (what I call the stator) to move - due to magnetic influence?
Also, what causes the stator to return to the home position - is it the second magnet on the   rotor, or is there a light spring?"

A: None of the actions happen at the same time, they are all in sequence (if it was working correctly on the day it was shot!).


**********

@ leg, there is a spring that returns the large wheel to its start position ..


*********

@ leg, there is a lot of coupling and decoupling going on. The movement of the small weight and small wheel are coupled for the first action.

@ nicke, not at this time (waiting for the nod from the guys who own the rights to the video).


**********

@ jwk, sorry will not be discussing the magnetic array at this time...

@ all, I think that in fact that I may not have the sequencing right, just had a quick look at it again and even as I am watching it, it is kinda hard to explain!

*********
@ leg, no ratchets, as the the actual sequencing I will have to clear my head and watch the video a few times and take notes, it is not in fact that simple of a toy (the principle is simple).

********

@ boomerang,

The toy cycles around a loop but does not restart (if that makes sense to you). He starts the process by releasing the small weight, which provides the input energy. I know that this is the closest that forum members have got to anything 'real' on the tech in here, but this was just a video of an engineer who had build himself a test 'toy'. The actual toy was not that important (I am sure that it has been thrown in a bin a long time ago). Sorry!

Wonder if this model of 'toy' is anywhere near to being consistent with the power density that the company is claiming with this type of tech?

Hi folks

I had a little time off from work so I started to reverse-engineer their demo from the pix you see above.
Half a dozen or so others have contributed their energies, too.

Heres a link to a directory with images and a movie.

I didn't expect the rotor to continue 360+ degrees by only rotating the pendulum -30  0  +30 degrees (60 total).

You would have a better understanding of the principals involved than me;

how about some feedback?

Welcome Pinestone,

What kind of magnet configuration was used on the pacman to excite the rotor?
