another way to fight lorentz

GB, thats how i feel about it, its just so simple, well hey if it works il give you some credit and wel both be rich


maybe now is this time to make an investment and purchase some parts

i was thinking i would just buy a couple crank flashlights and steal their generators set up, so its already wired up to an LED bank for a load, seeing as how i have no parts to make it

would they be too weak?

and what would you suggest i do/purchase, and whats the best place to find them

[mr_bojangles]

i whipped this up really quick, and it works flawlessly

[mr_bojangles]

ok gents (and ladies if your out there), i am going to start a new thread in magnet motors, with the most updated version in addition to the generator specs that's i leave out of my drawings for quickness

i have no idea what will happen if this thing got spun, all i know is i have relative motion between a fixed magnet and a partially fixed stator, and apparently no lenz drag

if anyone is good at rendering pics on the computer i would be more than willing to allow them to show off with my contraption that still is yet to have a name, i am limited to microsoft paint and old fashioned pencil and paper (although i still don't have a protractor or compass)

until next time...


edit';'''
if anyone has any ideas or questions il still follow this one until i post the link for the new one

@mr_bojangles & gravitybloc, sorry for the delayed response, just got back from vacation. Misunderstanding about the reference to Don Wilkes, he invented the Rolamite which I think could work well for a brushless setup.  Your ideas got me thinking so I modified a design I was working on (you'll see why I asked that question), a picture's worth a thousand words so tell me what you think?

Phoneboy,

I haven't had much time to analyze your drawing yet.  I did notice you confined the magnetic field with a ferromagnetic material.  Confining the magnetic field may be the key in overcoming the counter force if it's done properly.  This was brought to my attention the other day and I'm headed in this direction along with someone else.  You'll probably notice more threads on magnetic field confinement soon.
