One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

Hi.Today i did some coil orientation tests and the  aircore coil seems to power the rotor in any postion and from positions which won't work with a standard Bedini.I made a vid so you can see what i mean.Regards jonny

@Pirate. Hi Bill.Most N42 cylinder mags are not diametricaly magnetised and you also need a hole so they may be hard to find but this site i know to be reliable so it just helps anyone who is working on this motor.Cheers jonny.

Jonny:

Great video and great discovery you have made.  I didn't think this was possible to have all those different orientations work, but obviously (now, thanks to you) they do.  Incredible discovery.

I was going to ask what size magnets you ordered from that link you posted but now I see they only offer the one size in the diametrically magnetized line.  I am getting some of these.  This is excellent!

Hi Bill.I cannot believe it myself.The coil seems to be in the centre of a magnetic bubble and the rotor will spin if it is inside that bubble in any position.With an aircore bifilar, the bubble is about 12 inches in diameter.I am quite excited about this as i have never seen such behaviour in a Bedini motor before.Regards Jonny

@ all - here is a link to K & J Magnetics and these magnets.

I have gotten quite a few different magnets from them and they are quite reasonably priced and their service is great.

Hope this helps.

@Jonnydavro when I was experimenting with the Equilibrius grid it seems as though setting the mags at a distance of multiples of a square with the area equal to Pi gave the best results. To simplify at a distance of about 6" per rotor seemed to work best. I believe that in one of Jon Depews Equilibrius grid videos he mentions the magnetic "bubble" and that it increases as more mags are added.

Hi Today i have done a test and have managed to link magnets together as a magnetic cog.The first magnet is span by the air core coil and the second by the first's magnetic field.The 2nd magnet is miles away from the coil and i can do it with the coil orientated in any position as long as the first magnet is spinning.You can see the interaction between the magnets as there field merge as the powered magnet visibly vibrates but this is not shown in the vid.I have taken some pics and made a vid so you can see.Regards jonny

@ Brownsville.Thanks for the info
