Kundel Torque Amplifier

Floor deleted a month's worth of my comments off his thread, so I'm restarting over here. What a Jerk! Guilty of crowding Floor's almighty cyberspace? The backstaber's thread is just a step pedal ash tray.

This is one side of a twin spring. The PVC legs are nested for rigidity and simply notched at the top. The hollow studs mount to the frame and bear the weight of the rotor.

These two parts are featured in the design. A skate board bearing can be tightened between nuts on the hollow threaded stud and the diametric axle fastened to a drawer slider through the end for a quick and dirty rotary ball spline.


The PVC cross tee houses the Diametric magnet, and holds the nested pipe legs.

This is an electronically controlled magnetic torque amplifier. The 2 latching magnets and attraction neutralization ferrite toroid coil are nested inside a spring. The coil will allow us to advance the timing and speed it up, coupled with a reed switch and tiny trigger magnet on the rotor. The spring goes around the tube magnet, but the rod magnet simply presses against the end of the spring.

Spring pawl and 2 tooth cog wheel would mount on the rotor side and halt the rotor at TDC. The spring pressure on the pawl would cause the rotor to slow at TDC if the RPM were increased. A spring pawl and cam lobe would hesitate not halt to help "Flatten" the wheel!
