Looks simple enough, so what the heck, lets give it a go.

I want to use some of the magnets I already have as to keep buying new ones for each project gets expensive.
So decided for the Rotor magnets to use some of my good old dedicated 19mmSQ * 3mm Neo's

I have layed up the design and gone for a 120mm Rotor that fits 16 of these magnets around the outside nicely and because they are thin I only did a 6 degree slant, might have to increase this, but for now it is a building block.











As you can see gone for a small brass shaft that will pop in some small bearings to reduce the friction.

Off to knock the base up and will update later.

Cheers

Sean.

What kind of tool did you use to make those slots in the plexi glass?

This device is symmetrical and reminiscent of the tomi track

The forces should balance out.

One funny bit from the geocities website, right below the video link:

"Unfortunately this prototype seems not to work."
