Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[Jdo300]

You know, to be honest, I wouldn't worry all that much about the minute difference between the rotor magnets' strength. As long as you bought them all from the same place in one batch, chances are that they should all be pretty much the same field strength. Most NdFeB magnets are sintered and magnetized in large batches which means that they should all have equal field strength. The only acception to this would be if you stressed one of the magnets after recieving it.

You're more likely to have larger tolerance errors in the machining of the rotor and stators than in the field strength of the mags. I'd concentrate more on the tuning between the rotor and stator magnets.

Just for the record that was an assumption on Al's part. He was guessing that was the gauss value. It funny being in an R&D lab the magnets could have not been compared to an known mag spec or metered to help tie down the gauss value.
Don't take this as a poke toward Al, he really did a good job reporting, but i feel that he was getting pressured by his boss or somebody relating to this discovery.

Hi Bill,

Ah... I didn't realize that.  Then, we still don't know a critical piece of data relating to replication.  In Clanzer's design, the stator assembly can be backed off in order to reduce the effect of the magnetic fields upon each other (which seemed smart the first time I saw it, but just gets smarter all the time - that Clanzer is a practical guy!).  But, in other designs the distance is set.  I'm not an expert on magnetics (actually - faaar from it) but I suspect that raising the stators is not the same thing as backing them off.

Hello Jason
Yes I concur, but getting certified magnets in the so called spec and the cost, as u know would increase significantly. As far as getting the magnets from the same batch when ordered who really knows?
I also agree that the concept should be adjustable from as many facet as possible, then if and when the device is operating, measurement (data) can be obtained for future replication.

And remember that Al did mention that 1 mm too close or too far and the effect was not present.

I believe he said that at a 4mm distance between rotor and stator, he felt air effects were creating problems.

At 6mm I believe he said it was too far for the effect, but 5mm worked for him.

(And as has been mentioned, out of a batch of 13 stators, a few(2?) worked easily, a few(2?) he could not get to work, and the rest were in the middle)

I'm new at this so is this a good place to post a new video?
