Symetric Magnet Motor Idea

Hi all.

Been tinkering with a setup like this :

Magnet position will be moved to an angel, also there will not be screws through the magnets but a clamping system.

I strongly believe that shielding is the key to get any magnet motor running.

Using a shield, which is actually a field conductor, you need to know two problems.

1: When magnets are repelling, the shield is pulled harder into the gap that is repelling.
2: When magnets are attracting, the shield pulls less to the gap.
3: Both the above are compared to the pull of a single magnet to the shield.

This problem usually destroys most plans.

Just my 2 cents. I think asymmetry is your friend. Try something like 5 interior rotor magnets, 8 shield windows, and 13 external stator magnets. I don't know whether it will do what you want, but it has to be better than having all those magnets hit the sticky spot at the same time.

Thats why i want to have symetry.
When both magnets are equally attracted to the shield, the forces are the same on both sides and should have no effect on the rotating motion of the shield.
The forces would/could act as a ball bearing instead.

The question is just what the forces will do when they get to the edge of the shield opening, as you suggest....this could stop the whole thing.

In my head, asymetry will always have a sticky point greater than the oppiste pulling/dragging forces, but i have an idea for that also, i will just not get into that before i get symetry tested first.
