Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[JFK]

what is the square thing on the side of the rotor two magnets clockwise from the painted stripe. It looks like it just covers one poll of the magnet in that location and is it posible to be something sheilding the poll in that location?

I would venture a guess that that is used for the tachometer... but I could be wrong.

I was aondering that but what would be the reason for a tach mark when there is one on top.  Maybe this is something that seilds the flux in that spot alowing the whole thing to work!

I would tend to doubt that simply because for that to shield effectively it *probably* would require enough mass to throw the rotor severely out of balance as there does not appear to be a "counterweight" on the opposite side.

On the other hand, we never get to see the bottom of that rotor for signs of removed material for the expressed purpose of balancing.

BTW, there is a spellcheck button on the posting page.

So far we're still shooting in the dark.

Is that why your camera can't take any pics of your replication. I think I can see clearly now what the problem might be.

Shooting in the dark whilst led down the garden path is a hazardous recreation.

Yup, still lurkin
