The SMOT (PM3.2)

[acp]

Although the overall torque from the website in question does seem to be mostly positive, those values shown in the graph in comparison to the torque generated by any two magnets( rotor and stator) is miniscule, so the positive result in this case is probably just the result of noise or inaccuracy of floating point calculations. Any curve that looks as jagged and rough as that one is suspect.

Well the base is done and Rotor mounted on minature bearings





Lttle video to show how loose the bearings are.

Now to start the Stator mounts.

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

Hi Hanglow

They were cut with a 3mm 2flute slot drill on a small CNC machine.

Cheers

This device is symmetrical and reminiscent of the tomi track

The forces should balance out.

thx Paul

Interesting linkl, will go have a read

Well only one way to find out 

Be handy having a loose rotor to try a few other things as well, so not all is lost yet !
