Hi Honk,

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer all those questions. Looks like you really have coverered all angles! ANo more questions for now.
As your answers no.3 and 4 show you were able to find a layout geometry with your split spiral which likely might surpass the Paul Sprain design. I really hope it works well so that many of us can replicate it and start making a difference.
I also looked up the link for the flux booster controller and followed the thread. There seems to be another amazing piece of electronics waiting in the wings and it sounds as if a lot of the experimenters working in O/U electro magnetics  could benefit from the improved coil control. Hope to hear more about it soon. Any news about the Jack Hildenbrand project? Thanks again.

Cheers

Here's some news about Jacks controller.

Hi Honk,
Just out of curiosity I inquired with a local magnet importer to find out the ballpark figures for the magnets. I gave the measures from your post as

The Rotor magnets:
Length (depth) = 3.149" (80mm)
Width             = 1.5"     (38.1mm)
Thickness       = 1.181" (30mm)

The Stator magnets:
Length (depth) = 3.149" (80mm)
Width             = 1.181" (30mm)
Thickness       = 0.157" (4mm)

Is that still correct?  I also understand that the magnet axis  N/S  runs along the 80mm Legth.
Maybe the company is  not quite cutting edge as I was told that the sizes are non standard and would have to be custom made. Additionally they advised that it might be quite difficult to magnetize the material throughout the 80mm, possibly quite costly and take a few weeks.
Hmm, sounds quite expensive - which led to the thought , if the  split  spiral motor concept could be successfully realised with standard size magnets. That would make it a lot easier and affordable to replicate for others. What are your thoughts?

The flux booster controller - are you at liberty and willing to divulge more?
The properties of this device just sound absolutely amazing and seem to go against the behaviour of coils as understood by me. It almost sounds as if  the electro magnet would behave more like a capacity than an inductance, given the speed of field buildup , collapse and reversal as well as power saving that you suggest are possible with your controller. So I was wrecking my head trying to figure out what could be going on. Not much success though.

Cheers

Thank you for getting a quote.
It always nice with some help.

Unfortionatly you have gotten the motor principle all wrong 
If the magnets were magnetized along the the 80mm axis there would be no attraction between rotor and stator magnets.
The right direction is magnetized through width. The rotor magnets along the 38.1mm and the stator along the 30mm.

Please get a another quote from your local vendor using these new numbers and see what he can come up with.

Yep, I thought the stator poles would have to face the rotor poles directly, still not clear on this. Will have a look at the FEMM files. Request for quote send for 150 and 8 pieces with a few spares. Mentioned that I will post his prices on a forum.
