Hi All
One last thing on magnets, its hard to measure the strength between attract and repel because with attract the flux lines get closer as it moves in making its strength increase as its moving in yet with repel the flux lines get further apart as it moves away so its strength decreases as it moves away.

It seems that Omnibus has returned, i've invited him here, hopefully he can explain his Superimposed-Fields theory, and how it applies to the operation of this wheel.

He's one of the few people i've met that has done extensive studies on extracting energy from two overlain force-fields.  It makes a lot of sense, though i dont dare try to explain it to you guys for sure i dont know enough about the theory to properly present it.

But - if there ever were a theory that could explain a wheel like this working, that would be the one.

OMNIBUS  you have to love that  HOLY COW  Smoky2  [I missed Omnibus] Im sure HOPE for humanity will follow [Hes cool too]

Thanks for doing this test Larry.  It proves the point that Archer first started with.  magnets are not as strong in repel as they are in attract.  the added fact that the two forces together creates more than their independant tests should allow, gives us some very interesting data.
so much for equal and opposite forces, eh?

It would appear that attract is 10% stronger than repel, and used together they are 30% stronger than you would expect.
Can anyone else back this up?  I'm at work right now so I can't, but will try tonite, and post results.

The pic shows the elements used for the simple test. The bars are laminated steel with small neo's at the end covered with electrical tape. The small neo can be seen on the ruler. The paper adds a frictional resistance to any movement, you can feel the flux pressure at a couple of MM increments before the bar actually jumps.

@Chet,
Thanks, but not CRANKYpants anymore, now notaspicegirl, gotta love it!

@exxcomm0n,
Thanks for additional info.

@ Exx.

i went with Brass rods instead of 'All-Thread',  i decided it was best to keep the magnetic attraction to a minumum. im not sure yet how far the magnets on the rods will sit from the bearings.
But i didnt want that to be an issue.
