Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

New video on YouTube. Possible explanation of the acceleration on the unit built by Al

  Can anyone build a moveable stator, one you can move while you watch the screen?

CLaNZeR's rig has movable stator possibilities... but not sure if he can do it on the fly...

I think that Jason's been thinking about drawing up a base that would allow for just such on the fly adjustments...

Yup I sure have and will be designing that next after testing this replication model. By the way, according to the machine shop, me, Bruce, and Hank's bases should be done and shipped out to us by Monday so we won't be too far behind you all soon!

By the way, a big congrats to lumen for the revealing test videos. I find it very interesting that we could see those accelerations and decelerations of the stator magnets so well. This begs the question: "Is the free acceleration and deceleration of the stator magnets necessary for proper motor operation or can we just gear it and be done with it??"

I suppose that question will be answered soon enough.

For now, check out this replication video on YouTube, just found it today:

So in this stator design, the bearings themselves do not rotate?

LOL yes they rotate or waste of time having the bearings.
The brass shafts sit inside of the bearings as the picture above shows.

Sorry I know it is a minor point, but in Al's stator the outer ring of the bearing rotates, here the inner ring rotates.

I know it is a minor point, but these are magnetic steel bearings.

In any case good luck and have fun!

Wish I had a completed rig to play with!

You might be on to something here Ken...

BTW, How's your rig coming? ani closer to machined parts??

Sound pretty exciting!

Would you care to share the contact info for  shop that's making up your parts?

Thanks!

@DA
Does this mean the north pole of the magnet passes while the two north poles of the rotor do, and then the south pole with the south poles on the rotor, or is it north/south--south/north?


The stator makes a half turn for each rotor magnet it passes. As it passes a rotor magnet the stator changes to the other pole. (I need to confirm exactly the stator position wile passing)

I can move the stator in or out and the waveform height will increase when closer (as expected) and would likely be an increase in power and drag. since it would still be a balanced energy.
If you could gain any energy at each cycle, then the faster you ran it the more cycles and the more energy. (if possible)

I plan to test it a bit further because the shorting of the tachometer for a brake does not stop it too well. I may actually need to apply reverse thrusters just to prove myself wrong.
In this case I am also trying to stop the tachometer rotor mass.(a small motor may work better for a brake)

It seems an EXACT replication is best if you are attempting a working model.

I was trying to see beyond that to how it works and how it can work better. (more power! Scotty)
