Working Attraction Magnet Motor on Youtube!?

Wow Eric.. One screw done.. How many more to go ? Hope your fingers hold out. 

I had the screw in a tool and it only takes 30 seconds or so. I think that the hardest part is to get them all the same.

Well nothing exciting to report so far

Will try bury each head into the cardboard pipe to make them follow the curve a bit more, but cannot be assed to spend that much time grinding them all down, unless given more specifics from the original artist as such

Must admit even without the heads ground down I would of expect atleast a little movement, and if that had occurred then fine tuning such as grinding the heads would of been the next step.

All good fun though.

The pictures show N38 5mm*3mm magnets , 3 stacked on each level.
HD bearing stripped of its coil winding to clear any lag and oiled with fine oil. You can blow on it and make it move it is so loose.

Cheers

Good luck. Just to mention, did you notice that in the original the heads of the screws are flattened, as we discussed above? Perhaps this won't matter. Let's see.

Yep agree, lets try the easy route first.

Also, is it me but it seems that the PVC base isn't exactly a cylinder. Also, the magnets aren't aligned quite perfectly. Look at the third from the top. The top magnet seems closer to the screws than the bottom, etc. It's amazing that even such an apparently crude construction turns as nothing else so far does. Torbay's wasn't perfect either but we never saw it in action (except for that propaganda clip where details were smeared, nothing like here).

There is no magnets in my first pictures?

Cheers

Hi Sean,
well quickly done.
Maybe your magnets are a little too small.

I think it really depends also on the exact sizes
you use.
Good luck.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was commenting on @xpenzif's video.
