New Stagger Stator PMM Design. Review wanted before construction.

Low-Q,

To some extent I agree with what you said. However in regard to the design I have presented and from the video of the physical experiment using actual observation, and not theory, it seems this configuration does allow the magnet to pass through the "sticky spot" without having the shield  or weaken anything. Thus, if what we saw in the video is accurate then the problem is simple to loop the ring magnet back through the rails? Even if the experiment in the video was misleading I think using a midpoint rotor assembly would allow for multiple rotors to be in the acceleration point in the rails while only one is trying to break free of the "sticky spot". My assumption would then be if the attraction force is equal to the repelling force then by having two or more attracting would have twice or more force needed to push one free of the rails. That would start the whole process over again.

This was my take on the spinner
The missing magnet was the big deal.
I haven't tested it yet, need more magnets....
Also the spacing between the rotor and stator...it ran when the rotor was
at a slight distance away from the stator.
I am guessing at the polarity's in the attached drawing..
Anyone CAD run it yet?

If you guy want to talk about that last video posted could you start a new thread for it? I don't want to get too away from the design I'm working on. Its design is similar to mine in some ways but its a different device. Thanks,

It might be a good idea to use two outer rings for the stator. Basically take the complete stator as you have it drawn now and cut it in half separating the north rails from the south rails (cross-sectional cut) this would allow for adjustments to be made in the stators relative narrow point timing. One never knows what factors will need adjustment.

d3,

I agree. That's why I was having a hard time finding a cheep way to build it without having multiply complex adjustment setups. I have a couple ideas but I haven't made graphics for them yet. I'll probably start with what ever specifications I find work best if at all on the linear setup and then transfer them straight to a curved plain. That means I would have to drill new mounting holes if I wanted to change there alignment. This really wouldn't be that hard just time consuming. I have some of that.

I don't think I can find any adjustment arms that are strong enough to hold the rails in place and that are non-magnetic. They would have to be custom built.

I have a simple idea for a one stator "crude" design using a couple bicycle rims which I would hope to find the right alignment for one and then simply transfer it to the others. I hope just one stator has enough to spin the wheel around.
