Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[Yadaraf]

@ Yadaraf

Thanks for posting; would it be a good idea to put Al's original Youtube sound track alongside it for comparison?

Just speculating on waveforms and the soliton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton came to mind but can't figure how you could get that effect with magnetic waves. Still fairly certain that its to do with the elements of magnetic power, turning moment of inertia, so weight and radius are important, and a small vibration element in both or one of the rotor and/or stator.

The idea of a magnetic soliton would make the physicists and mathematicians very happy 

As anybody who has played with magnets knows a stronger magnet when it gets close enough to a weaker magnet is attracted to it like it was steel.

Not sure if the mathematical model of magnets includes that datum.

My analysis program is on a different computer.  I'm trying to install it on the computer I use for forums and email -- the one I'm using now -- but I'm having some problems with the sound card.  Analysis is quite simple, but Al's video has a loud background hum that will complicate the process.  Bruce's video [and audio] are better, but the voice-over is also problematic.

I should have something shortly.  Stay tuned. 

Cheers,

I'm unsure about what audio analysis would achieve ahead of significant resonance-related investigations, though I may be able to help with the processing of audio nonetheless.

I have a home music studio with exclusively-professional equipment and a shed-load of audio processor plug-in's (with video sequencing) at my disposal. Although processing out awkward backgrounds might prove challenging, with a turnaround that may take a day-or-two due to limitations in personal time, I'd be happy to chip in wherever I can

FunkyJive,

Cooperation is what it's all about.     Consider yourself another piece of the puzzle.  If you want to use your skills to pre-process the soundtrack that would be great.  Divide and conquer so to speak.

If you can do something with Al's and Burce's soundtrack while I fix my analysis tool, that would be great.

If you want to do the analysis as well, you can download a 30-day trial version of the DSSF3 software here:

... DSSF3:  http://www.soft32.com/Download/free-trial/DSSF3_Light/4-13282-1.html

Lastly, if we consider that these devices -- although very similar -- are constructed differently with different parts and tolerances, we can expect different baseline acoustic signatures.  What I'm interested in is whether different devices resonate similarly at similar RPMs.  I'd like to see the devices in the same room at the same time during spin down, but that is asking too much for now.  Follow my thinking?

Cheers,

In case you guys missed this earlier in the saga, a vid with some info on the audio in Al's original vid...

Ken,

That's terrific.  Thanks
