Working Attraction Magnet Motor on Youtube!?

[ChileanOne]

As far as I can see, this engine has much more to do with Steorn's ideas than what looks on the surface.

I doubt that there's gonna be much succes in replication, at least a quick success, unless the materials and magnets used are extra common and widely available. I wonder if Xpensif himself has had luck replicating or scaling it up or down.

I have no reason to not believe Xpensif achieved a reasonable continuous motion device, but I think that if one does not really understand the subjacent mechanism to allow it working, the success in replication is not granted.

Anyway, my congratulations to Xpensif for finding a working configuration. The video proof that many wanted, and many will also deny as fake, has finally been produced.

Please don't dismantle your original setup. If it works, leave it as that. Replication and enhancement are not granted.

I really hope you guys successfully replicates this motor. Very interesting.
The only speculation I have is whether the motor can supply efficient torque in a larger scale.
As you all know, torque times speed equals horsepower.
Ones built and tested you can go for the best configuration aiming great torque and speed.

Good luck.

Assuming this thing works as advertised, there are many other configurations that would possibly help the construction and balancing of the rotor. Drilling 50 odd holes in a rotor is a sure fire way to at least get one or 2 off center. Turning the device inside out , i.e having those 4 magnets on the rotor with counter wieght (or second array) and a a tube that has the screws or triangles afixed to the inside.
On the same note, having a road made of screws or whatever and the 4 magnets set in the bottom of a toy car would give you a linear motor....
Would like a bit more info, the video for all i know was made with a desk fan nearby, also the poor centering of the rotor add other questions., may i suggest he puts a fish bowl over it in the next video so we know its not windy in this garage..LOL...

I like that idea.. Fish bowl... 
I am not sure that grinding x number of screws exactly is any worse that drilling x number of holes exactly. I will have to look at the machine shop here. I think we got a 6 inch horizontal mountable rotary table for the Bridgeport mill so I could stick in a chunk of PVC pipe and exactly drill the holes. Still before I sign up for machine shop time I want to see a better video and some more details. Machine shop time cost $$..
Later,

@All,

This should be replicated as soon as possible by as many people as possible. Try to reproduce the device exactly as shown in this video. Developments later. It should be clear that independent verification of this experiment will have importance not less than that of the original demonstration..
