Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[ken_nyus]

I was searching Steorn for something else but I ran across this post from Al...

Oh, and the rotor is HDPE, the base is acrylic (perspex or plexiglas) and the stator bearing/magnet holders, and the rotor shaft adapter, are of Delrin.
The stators are held to the base in my unit with austenitic SS socket-head cap screws, #4-40, and a tiny washer for clearance (under the bearing).
(ETA I found plastic screws were too flexible for this purpose.)

I had to look up what "austenitic" means, and one thing it means is non-magnetic.

Anyone have a source for non-magnetic SHCS screws?

Now what I was really searching Steorn for was a reference to the table under Al's rig being a magnetic metal table, which I somehow thought of yesterday...

That desktop is steel, under the Formica, by the way. Magnets stick to it quite well.

Anyone give it a try on top of a steel table? I am going to try and find something to try this.

I've tried it but it doesn't do any good. It won't hurt to try it once again, though.

ken_nyus,

The metal table seems odd, because Al also stated that stray metal needed to be removed from the work space.  He mentioned specifically that a small screwdriver nearby the device adversely affected its operation.

Cheers

Yada..

more and more misinformation, or contradictions keep showing up... 
Al has all sorts of "information", but when you pin him down on the spot, he suddenly
"doesnt know how the device works"..

i'll keep an eye on this thread, incase there are some new break-throughs, but i think i've learned enough about this device.
onto the next....
