Repelling "Fan" theory for a magnet motor

[xnonix]

Dact,
the fan model working in WM2D is probably a bug in the program with bezier curves used in blades. I have tried other forms made by rectangles and doesn't work (remember to setup high accuracy). As we know rectangles works fine with electromagnetics in wm2d, so we have to make our model with rectangles (1 or more per blade).
The only way you have to test the curves blades approach works is by constructing the model for real.
If works then you are rich and you will have all the honors. Hope you share something with me.  .
If doesn't work, we will be here tomorrow to try again.

Edit: When you make your real model , first look at this for you stator (you will have more success options). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo6CENdvG4c

Thanks for spending the time to investigate this theory. I thought the same about a bug, but I believe there is something more to it than that. Rectangles work in WM2D only because they are aligned only along the X,Y axis, and cannot be "angled" to simulate the "fan". The main reason I used polygons was that I could distort them to offset the center of gravity enough to simulate a "Z" coordinate.

Of course, you are right that the only way to test this is with a real model. I've ordered the magnets to do this, and they should be here in three days. I will let you know what I find. Thanks!
