Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[Dansway]

I understand everyone's excitement and the rush to build something with what-is-at-hand, but we NEED to use the "SAME" magnets and geometry as the original device!

Then convince yourself of it working or not.

I am still very sceptical

I tried reversing the spinning magnet but I can't find any resonance, I even tried to speed it up in reverse direction with a DC motor...

If you convince me I will build a larger more stable one

In the original Video from AL he has 3 stator magnets.
2 at the front are left alone to spin and be influenced by the Rotor.
What he then does is spin the Stator at the back the opposite direction, the stator keeps moving the same way as do the two front stator magnets. When the back Stator has sync'd with the Rotor it seems to hold a steady RPM and then by releasing the breaking effect of the two front stator magnets, the Rotor accelerates to over twice the speed.

It is good to be sceptical, but at the same time too try and copy how he achieves the effect.
At the moment you just have 1 stator. If you spin your rotor you seeing it turns the first stator, now spin the rotor and spin your stator the same direction, see the difference it has? Now add a couple more and play

On your Rotor do you have the Magnets SS-NN-SS-NN etc etc

Ok my replication is not working well, my problem is my rotor use 6 magnets and this completely change the interaction between the 8 vs 13 original wheel. 6 vs 13 is not working

I will wait to see what will append with our friends with better replication.

Unless I know the amount of holes needed for the stator magnets with a 6 magnets rotor.

Also the sphere is working but they are vibrating to much in the tube I use and 3 of them is to much, to much noise.. and its hard to move the rotor in my configuration.

I found another version of the video with no dark spot

He increased the brigthness of the original video

Hi can some one give me the web site of a suppler of magnets this is in the UK
All the Best Roger
