Pros and cons of permanent magnet motors

[Michelinho]

Hi all,

A magnetic motor would have a chance to make the mainstream if it uses mirror image magnets. Attraction and Repulsion would not impede a free rotation like a regular magnet. According to Howard Johnson work on mapping magnetic vortices on magnets. Take a look. How to make those? Why they don't exist for us? Is it possible to make them? Just a thought. 

Take care,

Michel

Except that it is not possible do make perpetual motion from permanent magnets.  Magnetism is a force, not an energy being emitted.

But the real question is what powers the continual magnetic force in a magnet?

Lets think Newton.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Magnets are called a force, they attract and repel each other depending on the poles. So lets look on how this works into a possible magnet motor. Your action is an attraction the opposite pole is an equal and opposite reaction then they hold, Now your action is repel, the same pole repels and they keep apart due to it. So you look at each effect and you can have a push pull. One magnet attracts to one and then repels the other.  Simple logic says that it is possible to work with but there is allot to understand  about the magnet reactions. Back in 1974 I built one that ran for a day and a half, before my cardboard tore out in the middle. It was jerky due to the sticky spots but it tended to push by some how. My father put it down always saying it has already been done. I got an A for science and since I didn't support I took the magnets off and thought nothing more about it back then. So I know a magnet wheels can work. I learned that If my older brother came up with it, my dad would have announced it to the world, but I came from a family where the oldest could do no wrong and the youngest could do no wright.

Thats a sad story.  Do you remember the configuration of the magnets?  Just rebuild it.

That was a long time ago but I do remember part and pieces and have been playing it from time to time. I will tell you this that there where 3 pushes to each sticky spot and that is what made the jerking action. The reason I haven't pushed to hard on trying to duplicate it is I have been working on how to nullify the sticky spots to a minimum or all together by field manipulation. And it has been allot of fun. One of my manipulation test made like a pop action and shot the center disk around for a short ways. So I put 3 on the center disk with the one on the side and it shot kind of pop pop pop action but no real sound. but they where still a little to far apart to keep it running. So the next test will be 6 and that should do it. Now you can see I am not saying what configurations I am using, at least not until I have finished.
