Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

@Vipond50 - NICE WORK!! what's that bearing assy?? I like the way that it mounts up under the base, it looks nice and stout.

The Bearing assembly is hell for stout. It was even beefier before I started the machining process. It came from an old rotary encoder made by Penny& Giles at a cost of $1,400 a pop. The bearings are instrument grade and very smooth. The way i worked it was so if this thing ever works(?)  I'll have a Cad drawing so it can be replicated.

G'day all,

I am, astounded that this is considered to be a replicators site.

The variations from original are unfortunately astounding!

This place needs a database (spreadsheet of Al's. initial & subsequent dimensional & constructional modifications, with a time line showing further changes, results etc. Most important.

If, one is to reflect a TRUE replication, then that is one of the original video.

ObservingÃ,  the various dimensional variances of what is said to be a replication / duplication / copy whatever on this site there shall be no hope unless every one gets together and cooperates to produce a final result. Good or bad

Without initial accurate true reproductions there is a very limited chance of success. I am aware of the limited dimensional information let alone weights of components, gauss/flux of magnets etcetcetc.

Though surley, after this period of time/expenditureÃ,  & thought it is time to get down to the basics, replicate then extrappolate.

That is to say, there is a total lack of information and observation's of what has occurred and is supposedly being replicated!!!

With so much hypothosis and bitch sessions thrown in, what is this site'sÃ,  chance of success and quantifiable results to be.

Outside the envelope, everyone appears to be there,  Unfortunatley I have yet to see an accurate reproduction  within limited dimensional sizes and tolerances. Hence records comparing Al's to everyone's

Basics to be established and recorded, all experemation after basics duly encouraged. (and duly appreciated).

Keep it up but do not loose the plot.

Regards.

@cub3,

I agree with the philosophy you espouse but there doesn't seem to be any concreteness. I'm trying to be as close as possible to the original but learning elementary parameters such as the exact weight of the rotor or the profile of the magnetic induction in the original at a certain distance from stator and rotor seems to be a struggle. These are very likely the crucial parameters for this endeavor to be successful. What do you propose?

I'll replicate it, but where are the spec's ? Are we suppose to work up the one from the original spec that Al posted at the beginning of the Steorn site or the interpreted plan set that Jason put together that Al approved, but does not match the original spec?
How can anyone say which one is correct when the original constructor changed the spec to an untested device? The unit I am working is Rotor Spec. is off Al's original, the stator Mag's ect, etc, etc, following the device in the video.
BTW Are u working this? or arm chairing? I think this is a fair Q?.

Omnibus is trying, but he to has no real spec to work with. At best we are making Educated guesses. If u have more accurate data please post it.
So as Omni asked, What do you propose?
I myself am going to continue to work this project as i see fit....... Period.
Enough Ranting

Thanks for your posting
