Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

A seven hour run is exciting. Got magnets, just have to get the rest of the machine together!

@Grimer: Welcome mate, it taken ya long enough 

Yeah ...well, I thought it was more for you practical people who do things rather than people like me.
During the war they used to say that the Brits were much think and little do, whereas the Yanks were...well we wont go into that,

I got all the mags too and am also trying to get the rest of the machine together....   Maybe as soon as tonight....

Hello All,

Just a little update.  I picked up my bearings today.  They are very nice!     I also priced  two levels up, of precision bearings, and they will run just over $6.00 USD each.  Once our replication is up and kicking, this will be my first improvement to try.  The step after that will be air bearings.  Each type of bearing is rated for more RPM's, having less friction.  Less friction, less heating of the bearings, etc.  Who knows, but it is my plan.  I know the bearing's can be greatly improved and see how that effects over all performance.

I am still waiting on my magnets.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Machine shop found and parts to be ordered.  Exact materials called for. 

I am thinking of a few other ideas also.  Laughable that some would attempt to patent an open source project. 

I also am thinking, if the dampers are removed, it speeds up to??  becomes unstable, because of the mechanics.  A weak magnetic field at tremendous speed, with a properly wound coil can produce a lot of electricity.  Shrink it down, size it up. Figure out a way to remove the dampers and keep it stable.  What would the RPM's be?  7,500?  10,000?  15,000?  LOL 

I do agree, a lot of fun ahead!!    

Cheers,
Bruce

EXACTLY - The dampers slow it down to keep it stable. How about a coil with a load in place of the dampers. This should do the same thing as the dampers with the proper load !!

it was estimated that total run time was a day and a half in theory, i am guessing that the magnets are saturating , which would account for the slowing down. perhaps the position of the other stators is wrong in that respect. if that were the case then a fine tunning of one of the stationary stators would could push the rotor magnets back down from saturated and enable constant runs.
Since the machine can be re-started the magnets are not depleating.

All of this is fine , but until we reproduce this we will never know for sure, an while i would like it to work i will not hold my breath. I am enjoying the ride tho..
