Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

You're right RunningBare.  The tape is the give away.

I'm looking at the video one frame at a time and the appearance isn't uniform. Sometimes you see two frames with same position of the tape at other times various other positions--sometimes three, sometimes two stripes per frame.

Can somebody please give reference to where there are additional magnets on the dampers?

I think it is from back on the bottom of page 110 from Robbie47.

From the new vid, the damper at the top of the video looks like it has something other than just a screw holding it down.

I assumed it was some sort of non magnetic clip similar to the image here

Guys I am trying to do tests from peoples suggestions as well as doing my own experiments, I have been on this 24/7 for over 2 weeks now and will get around to various suggestions that I am taking note off, even if not replying.

My 6061-T6 1/2 SOLID ROUND BAR arrived today, so cut a couple of bits off and quickly bodged into stator, and yep it does make latching easier
Not done any wind down tests yet too see the difference between the normal Alluminium dampners and using these ones.

I was looking at the base tonight and following the OC PDF http://www.overunity.org.uk/ocpm/OC_motor_011708.pdf

I drew up another Base as I wanted a exact base with no movement to do some other tests, but it just does not look correct.
AL was saying about the 5mm spacing between the Rotor edge and the Stator outiside surround and stating that it is critical. At 4mm the air gap is too little at 6mm the Magnet looses sync.



Cheers

@ Jason,

Can you please comment on this? it sounds like tolerances need to be pretty exact... Several of us are about to order rotor's / bases based on the drawings that CLaNZeR refers to here... do you feel that adjustments need to be made before we place the orders?

Thanks
Geodan
