New accelerating lego magnet motor on youtube

Here are some possibly irrelevant thoughts.

We have one example of perpetual motion already. We call it orbiting the earth. The object continually falls to earth and continuously misses. So the thought is how do we get magnets to do the same?

Now here I am making assumptions based on casual observation. Magnetic fields seem to be ellipsoidal.. Could the metal being used to make a magnet be acting or transducing some form of energy such that the it finds it an easier path to travel. (Electricity, water travel on the path of least resistance) So what is making a magnet work is something that likes to go through Iron as it finds it an easier path! Perhaps the magnetism is being induced from a vibrating universal energy.( or these thoughts are stupid)

Back to the ellipsoidal shape and speculation on the inverse square law. Not confirmed this thought but a circle is x*x + y*y =1 so as the two bodies get closer together the sphere of influence increases as suggested by the inverse square law. (However if the influence is a spherical field why is it not the inverse cubed law?)

So perhaps we need some method of pulsing the influence in an ellipsoidal way, which is a coordinated connection with the main turning wheel.

@ All

I am starting to replicate the Lego device.

Any takers?

I've captured screenshots and have begun the CAD process.  Because Lego blocks and plates have uniform features, the basic layout should be simple.  For example, the green rotor appears to be a standard 10" x 10" Lego base plate.

Because the builder appears to be using educational supplies, I assume the 2" magnets are available from a teaching supplier like Dowling Magnets, who I know makes 3" magnets -- bright Blue and Red for teaching

... 3" Teaching Magnets:  http://www.dowlingmagnets.com/dyn_prod.php?p=DOW712

At this point the goal is to attempt simple cogging -- if there is any.

If anyone has suggestions, please drop them in the box. 

Cheers,

@Yadaraf,

That's great that you've decided to replicate the Lego motor. Unfortunately, I can't join you right now because I've focused my efforts on @alsetalokin's device. Lego motor replication seems more interesting but I don't want to spread out too thin and would like to reach a certain understanding of the other project first. At some later point I may also join you and everyone else who has interest in this. All the best and good luck with the research. I'll be following it with interest.

When you post the video of it going, just make sure that it plays in reverse!
