LaFonte Equilibrium Motor

[Kysmett]

Bruce,

If you set up the magnets so that there were like poles on each side(as opposed to one side attract one side oppose) and the shaft was rotated, would it not oscilate, being attracted ferromagneticly and then 90 degrees later oppose and be 'pushed' up on its own?

[Butch LaFonte]

Butch, are you sure that your action and reaction coils will not all
cancel out ?
Regards, Stefan.

Yes, I'm sure, I have ran many tests and it's like a team of 1000 horses pulling in a straight line and one slows down, the one if front of him speeds up, and the total pull of the team stays the same.

The disk will be pulled toward the increasing flux density. It will just slide down the guide rod toward the area of maximum attraction, just like the steel ball rolling in the SMOT, the ferro-magnetic blue colored part of the disk will be pulled down the guide rod.

Hi Butch

First like to say I really like your thoughts and find it very intresting. Your latest one I have questions .Does the center pivot out somehow. And if right side vertical bar blue, then the blue rotor would lock on too the metal bar. And wouldn't this be better if it was geared or locked in phase? I still don't understand how it works.

Butch,

Normal ferromagnetic draw back will occur as the disc moves past the point of max flux density. It will then oscillate about the max flux point until frictional losses finally stops it.

Effect,
I don't see the draw back happening because the disk is in a state of equilibrium as it starts to leave the max flux area. Also the reason the disk will slide down the rod is based on the same thing that causes the steel ball to roll to the max flux area in the SMOT.
