Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

RE:  Lego Version of the WhipMag -- No Kidding

I spent two hours today developing an educational version of the WhipMag using nothing but Lego bricks and Lego magnets.  It spins and makes "magnet noise" just like the other WhipMags I've listened to.  And yes, it is addictive to play with.

FANTASTIC

@ Sean
Are you using lubricant for any of your bearings?

Hi Bruce

Well done on going for the exact Rep specs and look forward too more results.

With my bearings I tend to soak them in thinners to break down the manafacturers packing grease and then blow them out with an airline, making sure I hold the bearing and do not let it spin. Then I use a very think oil that is used on sewing machines.

Cheers

Sean.

P.S. You wouldn't have any rpm vs. time curves taken with your tachometer with and without AGW lock, would you? It'll be interesting to see how they compare at the very beginning of the AGW lock. I remember in your earlier graphs you published here there were some peculiarities worth paying attention, I think.

Hi Omni

I plan on doing some new wind down tests and tacho charts with new rig, but think it will have too wait till next weekend due to time

Be interesting too see though the difference and also I still want too see the wind down difference with and without the Dampners now I have the correct ones.

Cheers

Sean.

@CLaNZeR,

Did you try Liquid Wrench Penetrating and Lubricating Oil? It was like night and day--bearings that had no intention of AGW started latching like hell. When I applied it to the rotor at one point it was too good--hindered somewhat the AGW locking. After a while it got back to itself and now latching-wise all is good. To no avail, though. Where is this darn acceleration?

You showed some very good encouraging results earlier. I'd be eager to see your new graphs. Good luck.
