Building on the Calloway V Gate principle.

armagdn03 you are right about the cam not working.  I talked to him directly as I had the same idea.  He said he had thought about posting on YouTube as he had tried the cam and in fact it didn't work.

I kind of like the cone idea. Introduce an inclined plane into the equation. Interesting.  I hope someone with more available funds than I (right now) tries this. I can't afford one skateboard wheel right now... ha ha

First off, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCr3lOhMJCg&mode=related&search=

Skip to the end (about 20 secs before it finishes). What if you fixed the skateboard wheel to the axle, attach to the axle two "spirals" of plastic, http://www.photolava.com/view/3ntj.html (excuse microsoft paint); either side of the wheel. Then you make another axle with the magnet and rest it on top of the cams, so for every rotation, the cam moves the magnet away, as needed for the wheel to rotate.

Concept here (ms paint again!)

You want to adapt the hanheld magnets motion? I see. It looks promesing, but the movement of the hand is in fact adding energy to the system - energy taken from the man who held the magnet. If you are gonna provide similar force by getting it from the rotor itself, this force require energy - energy you don't have. The rotormagnet and the stator magnet will allways work against each other, and cancel out all forces in sum. I'm afraid your idea will therefor never work no matter how hard you think on it.

how about this.....?.

Howdy,

Thanks for taking a look at my Calloway V gate magnet motor. To answer some of the qestions, my hand is doing work. There is a great pulling force in attraction mode and the cam idea will not work due to friction. Not enogh power in the initial spin to get the cam working. I've tried it and it just stalls on the cam.

The drawing above is something I want to try, but don't have the tools to build or the time. I get about 6 comments on the videos every day and I have no time to answer them all. Sorry if I haven't gotten back to questions, there's just to many of them coming in.

I think the only way to get this to work is to build a balanced, inward spiral that dips the gate about half to a full inch into itself.

It's made from a 83mm skate wheel and has 26 magents on each side of the V. I tried to space them so the space between the magnets was half the diameter, but it ended up being about a full diameter space between them. The diameter being 1/4".

I tried placing a ring around the wheel with three stator magnets, so two would push the third through the gate, but the gate is much to strong, it didn't work.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Good luck with all your ventures.

Thanks again for checking it out.
