Would you update your website with Part Numbers for the magnets you've selected?

That will make it easier to track what has been tried.

Thanks

YouTube is still processing the video so you can't see my comments yet.  Here they are:


1/2 " Neo's on each pole on the Stator and 1 - 1/4" Neo on each Rotor Magnet REALLY increased the torque and speed of the aluminum disk (sitting atop the fan blades). 

Mylow is on to something with his Samarium-cobalt magnets.  I need to get some more magnets...   

I recommend playing with your magnet layout before glueing anything down.

The theory seems to work but I believe most other setups will probably need their own magnet layout orentation due to differing magnetic flux lines (and strengths) on the rotor and stator magnets.

I believe the rotor magnets don't need to be horseshoe type.  I am seeing results with just plain neo's on the rotor in the orentation mentioned by mylow (north or south facing up).  When the Stator magnet hovers directly over top of the standard neo's the same movement is achieved.  I will try and demonstrate this in my next video.

I also believe the horseshoe magnet is required for the stator (even with assistance magnets like I have in this video).  Just using plain neo's as a stator cog's really badly.

@carbonc_cc,

Can you do the following â€" instead of starting it from a stand-still (front rotor magnets facing the stator), have the front rotor magnets slowly move from sufficient distance (beyond the region where they can feel the stator magnet field) towards the stator magnet while holding the stator magnet immovably at its current position?

In reference to the rotor magnets:

As a whole for the entire row of rotor magnets only the outside horseshoe magnets give off the strongest fields.  In-between where the gaps are, there are somewhat strong fields for attraction/repulsion.

I believe there is a flywheel effect occurring for the stator magnet to pass the last magnet in the row.  But it only works at the beginning of the row where the repulsion is strongest.  The faster you force your stator to first magnet in the row (repulsion feeling), the faster the rotor will spin to get to the last rotor magnet in the row.

I'm probably describing the obvious to most here but I am just trying to put it into searchable/index-able text here.
