Working Attraction Magnet Motor on Youtube!?

[canam101]

If  you made the rotor a disk instead of a cylinder, and mounted the screws on it in the same diagonal pattern, it would look a bit like Perndev's motor. Wouldn't it?

The level of residual magnetisim in the screws is a valid point, and if weak again points towards Steorn. Although i would have thought that a crossfield configuration would work better , if at all. As the screw is attracted in under attraction, there will be a point of null flux the kinetic energy gained on the way in would help to overshoot, if the sv lag in the screw is high enough, the screw will not have time to aline the poles on the otherside back to attraction, it will approach in attraction cross the null and then leave in repulsion....but knowing the sv lag time of your screws might be the make or break of getting it to work

There is another concept to consider...

If 2 magnets are close together,  their fields alter.   The bar mags are fairly close
to each other,  and so the way their fields interact and change may be very
unexpected.  A sort of variable-Amplification based on relative attraction distances.

Craigy, I believe your rotor discs are too far apart vertically.  May want to remove
one nut each section.

Yes , just wanted to give a bit of scope for experimentation, is 50mm long with 2 nuts as spacers, though i would start large and reduce.
The 4 magnets held together like that , all like poles facing out will have the effect of reducing the overall field, or will push the stator magnets to a point below retentivity. If they are arranged nsns or snsn or ssss i am not sure. Would like to see a better video tho..

I believe Parendev's motor was repel-based.   Where this is attraction based.

I think that repel forces are less that attraction forces,  which gives this an
advantage.

As for the people saying things about low torque being a problem...
I think that maybe its not a real issue in power generation.

I would think that using the shaft to drive a large disc of Rotating magnets
around a bunch of pickup coils,  should be enough to output plenty of energy.
 
Obviously, the disc would have to be far enough away from the unit so that
the fields do not corrupt each other.  Maybe a shield material placed in
between - such as thick plastic.
