Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

What is xpenzif's stepper motor field?

@Craigy,

I was thinking the same. These two extra stators have always seemed to me as an impediment. On the other hand they may play a role in ensuring a proper timing. Who knows? It seems that in order to have acceleration certain asymmetric resonant conditions have to be ensured whereby at a certain moment the rotor has to lag behind the stator but then, after escaping the sticky spot the stator should lag behind the rotor and so on. Obviously, these conditions cannot be achieved just like that and we have to seek the correct weight and field proportions which will ensure them.

As for the acceleration of the stator at AGW lock I see it too and it seems to vary. Sometimes the acceleration is quite pronounced after the AGW lock at other times it seems hardly detectable.

Craigy, Omni,

Several weeks ago I speculated that the first speed plateau was related to the Schumann resonance of 7.8 Hz.  When I attempted to demonstrate this I assumed a stator speed of 1200 RPM, which turned out to be incorrect.  From the WMV file, it became clear that the stator speed at the first instance of self-sustaining rotation is 1700 RPM, which implies a rotor speed of 425 RPM (4:1).

... 425 RPM = 7.0 Hz

Note that a rotor speed of 468 RPM produces 7.8 Hz, and it's possible that Al's measurement was off slightly.

I've been inducing mechanical vibrations @ 8Hz, but probably I should be using EM waves.  I am considering placing three "speaker" coils around/near the stators and applying an 8 Hz signal.  Basically, I will be attempting to simulate a local Schumann Resonance.

Something to consider is that Al supposedly lives in Canada and he got his device to spin when the auroras -- in his backyard? -- were very active.

Cheers,   

Yada..

@Charlie_V,

The motor which @xpenzif showed consists of a drum (spindle) with 14 diagonal columns of ferromagnetic pieces which the field of the stator ?sees? as 14 maximums and corresponding minimums. That?s the obvious part. This drum is placed on a hard drive stepper motor which has its own independent magnetic field forming 8 maximums and corresponding minimums. This part isn?t obvious from the demonstrated device. Thus, within the distance between two maximums of the stepper motor there are 1.75 distances between maximums of the drum. These two fields (the 14-barrier drum field and the 8-barrier stepper motor field) are somehow properly superimposed through fine adjustment so that they can assist each other to produce a net force in a predominant direction. Unfortunately, so far I haven?t been able to locate an 8-barrier hard drive stepper motor. Most of these motors are 24-barrier or 12-barrier.

I was able to replicate the tri-force gate effect in 10 minutes! (including the time it took to tape off the north ends of the triangle bar magnets).

I got it working through 2 gates in both directions to prove to myself that it gets by the sticky point. For once I don't have to rely on someone's word that the effect exists.

CLaNZeR's rotor looks perfect, although I agree he should turn the triangles so the bar magnet passes through the same plane, as if it is lying on the table.  I don't see how CLaNZeR's rotor could fail after what I've seen with my own eyes.

@whetherman,

That?s great you could get it working through 2 gates. I?m afraid this far could be achieved in various other ways, however. The problem begins when you have all the stations assembled with the intention to have the rotor make full turns. Then all these stations cooperate to form a set of symmetric potential troughs and hills which can only be overcome sequentially by the assistance of an additionally properly superimposed field (without such additional field it can only make a partial turn due to the imperfections causing one of the hills to be higher than the rest). Johannes Taisnierius device (contemporary SMOT, that is) is the best example in this respect which probably finds application in devices such that of @alsetalokin whereby the rotor field is assisted by the changing stator field. So far I don?t see how the gain when going from hill to trough can be compensated by the loss when going from trough to hill without the assistance of an additional field as in SMOT. I?m following with great interest @ClaNZeR?s experiment and will be glad to be proven wrong.
