Apparatus for generating autogenic energy?

Here is a video of this crude version:

Please ignore the gobs of hot glue, the crooked flywheel, the pennies and blue tac, etc...

Hi Ken_nyus,

Very good!  All I can say is to increase significantly the mass of your flywheel.  I think that what you have to reach is a state when  -without any one of the magnets so that no interaction between them could occur-- you give a few pushes to the flywheel by hand to make it rotate, it should rotate for a few minutes at least and you must feel a good torque at the rotating shaft then which should be hard to slow down by a 'finger' break.  This 'good' torque is what will feel the S-S repel force as working against it.

Keep up good work.

I think I would have to move up to bicycle size flywheels to get that kind of force. I was hoping to work in the small desktop stirling engine size range. I may have to switch to very small magnets to play at that scale.

I'm still going to fiddle with this one and see what I can learn.

Good job Ken!  Like Gyula said, more mass on that flywheel.  Try to get your hands on some lead weights, like fishing weights, or maybe some of those stick on weights from a local tire place used for balancing wheels. That way you can stick them uniformly on that flywheel. You've got a pretty good push from those magnets, your right about not storing enough of it.  That exact design may or may not work, but your going to learn a lot from it, I know I did from seeing it.  Thanks you for posting the video, and spinning the machine so we can see it from different angles.

Made a few quick, minor changes. (Well OK I stepped on the device and broke it, and as the hot glue gun was warming up I realized I had a chance to change a few things)

Got rid of the heavy push rod and it's counterweight, and replaced it with a thin brass rod. Got rid of some more counterweights that were on the axle opposite the rotating magnet. Removing all this weight, alot of which was reciprocating, really freed up the movement.

I also added some more mass to the flywheel, in the form of coins and blutac.

I measured the stroke now and it is 1 1/16". I also made the crank a bit adjustable in the stroke length. The offset angle between the crank and the rotating magnet can be adjusted by setting it with the nut holding it on the axle.The distance between the reciprocating magnet and the rotating magnet can be adjusted also as it is just duct tape holding it down to the platform on the slide.
