conradelektro,
Here's a link to the proximity switch: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G17100

They seem to work great long term at voltages well under 1 volt.  Above that they seem to stop working after a week or so of use.


Jeanna,

Great job on your coil.  I can not wait to see it running a motor.  It's a lot of fun watching one run nonstop month after month with no external input.

I would really look into building a rotor like I show in my videos.  It's very easy to make.  Lidmotor has also had great success with this rotor design.  Here are the steps to building one.

1 Glue a magnet to the top and bottom of a small lid.  It's important that they be in the dead center of the lid.

2 Glue four small magnets on the edge of the lid.  It's again important that they be spaced evenly.

3 Let the rotor hang from a needle on the top magnet.  You should also place a needle under the rotor but not touching the bottom magnet.  It's just there to help the rotor stay stable as it spins.

I hope this info helps.

@ lasersaber:

Wow, that is about as low friction as one can get with readily available items.  Nice thinking there.

@ Jeanna:

I too am looking forward to seeing your results.  You have worked a long time for this.  I hope all goes well.

Is it this what is meant?

OK gang, here it is.
Well, this is the rotor that goes for one minute with the little push.

There is no reed switch yet... just the rotor and primary coil.

I haven't even checked  the video myself.
It came right off the camera... unexpurgated movie!

@Conrad, Yes lasersaber gave the ID for this reed switch.
Electric goldmine has a  $10.00 minimum so at .99 each you need to get 11 of them, but this is the same company that sells the toroid so many people use which costs 5/$1, and some other useful things, so look around, but since these reed switches are known to break, I suggest getting extras.

thank you,

jeanna

Looking at @jeanna's clip i could see the @lasersaber clip that on the same page and I apologize for my drawing.

It is very far from what I saw on the clips.
