George Green Motor on Project Camelot

[Cap-Z-ro]

If memory serves, I had to use both hands to keep it on a very small 'sweet spot'...it just occurred to me that I didn't have to chase it like on the video.

I'm not sure but mine may have spun slower.

I may have to revisit that arrangement again,

@ALL

Many thanks for the replies.  It sounds like some are still investigating this device.

At this point I'm mostly curious about the missing stator magnet and implications for something like the WhipMag.  Also, while working with TriForce gates in a loop we tried removing one gate, and the Green/Hamel device reminds me of this.  OC is experimenting with a TriForce-WhipMag hybrid, and perhaps something will come from that.

Cheers

George Green is a disinformation artist.

Yes he is. He knows well how this work, and why it doesn't work when fixed on a shaft. Just replace the steel ball support with a spike, and it will not run even if hand held magnet.

Loudspeaker magnets:
Be cautious of these. They can be magnetised in a very peculiar fashion. Note that the voice coil will drop into a round slot, and the magnet field must lie across this. Often the field experienced is just stray magnetism that does not need to be there.
