ElectronManipulator,  Thanks for all your tips here.  Lots of good info.  You have mentioned some things I have not seen like a magnetic pyramid for a bearing (although I can somewhat picture it).  Do you have any pictures or links to these?

I have no images in my stock, and I did a quick google, thinking they were more popular than they apparently are!

The only thing I could find close is an image from a Mr. Hamel. 

Oddly enough he was involved with a free-energy movement.

The theory is the same.  The point of the pyramid is in a cup, levitated as much as possible.

The tip should be as sharp as possible as if it does come in contact, it will have minimal effect on friction.

Where I first saw this bearing was on an desk toy.

I did a search for the toy, to no avail. However there is an upside-down version:

A very interesting home-made bearing is to use a center punch and a sewing needle.

A drop of oil in the detent made by the pointed center-punch will keep it operational longer. as it heats, the point dulls, but very good for testing minimal friction theory.

We'll looking at this motor, it has 16 fields, that also mean the each field will not allow the rotor to spin, acting as a brake with the ferrite cores pulling the magnet into the core. This would have to be counter with a off set of each 2 set of fields or magnet arrangements. Like the pulse Adam motor. These magnet are very powerful, and will produce a great power output, but it also means it will take energy to spin this disk away from the field too. This is why generator don't use magnets for this reason.

I have been working on the Vapor carb system at this time, but I will be willing to study this basic system. And give some basic tips if needed.....

Whew that's a lotta pages. Did I accidentally miss the page that stated the size and quality of the magnets used in the rotor to trigger the hall.
I'm slow moving but I'd like to replicate as exact as possible so I don't get myself into the what if scenario. Lots of newbies like myself gettin in
hope I can offer some benefit along the way.

Lidmotor has posted a new vid. Looks like he is getting close
