Very good and sturdy wheel
IMO, the displacement of weights by sliding magnets for such a short distance would not make much difference here. Compared to the weight of whole wheel, these magnets won't make any effect (especially while spinning at reasonable speed) because they won't unbalance it much.

Hi Omega and thanks for the great input.

I spent a long time sussing out the length and trying different combinations, but as usual if I did a video of it all then it would slow me down even more.

Busy week this end as yesterday was travelling all over the place, but back home at the moment and will step through your ideas when I get time.

Here is a quick video to show that one Rotor magnet is more than enough to get it past the 270 degree mark.
As stated before the wheel is heavy but it is on very loose bearings and only a small amount of weight is needed to unbalance it.

More when I get time.

Cheers

Thats cool Clanzer. You are already on the step 5.
It goes almost 330 deg. You need to steal 30 more degrees from the Nature

Lets see how much drag the stator adds. If its too much, the wheel will go less then 330. Anyhow I expect that it won't be too serious and you can jump to step 6 with just a casual check.

I guess there is no harm in trying out these short tubes, since the your wheel is extremely sensitive and free, it may work. And if it fails there is always an option to try longer ones.
Best of luck.

Lifting the weight of a magnet accross the wheel but near the hub is a better test here. The outside magnet must get past the 6:00 position with the other magnet in place.

Sean, what is the clicking sound we hear as the magnet reaches the 1:30 spot?

Kudos on the progress. Will you be able to offer the same run tests that TK performed with his version?

Cheers,

Harvey

Hi Harvey

I never noticed the click before but now you mention it I can hear it on the video. Just went out and ran the wheel from 12:00 again and the click is still there at around 1:30. Listening to it, it seems to be coming from the bearing/axle area, so seems the bearing could be binding with all that weight.

I dought if I will do the same tests as TK, because you should know me by now, I have not got the brains or education of you lot and go for the suck and see approach LOL !!!!

If it run's it run's, if it does not run then onto the next project!!

Cheers

Sean.

AB, that sounds cool....
Have you thought of open sourcing the plans (If you haven't done that yet, or if I missed them) ?
May be someone else with time and resources can take it further.

Well I won't show the mechanisms the worked it but I will show the wheel without.
