STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

@k4zep,

I saw in your video that you have the toroid facing flat to the magnets. In the Steorn
motor the toroid was facing the magnets with the hole. In your setup the magnets
can induce current in the coil because some part of the coil is being crossed by
the magnets at 90 degrees angle. In the Steorn motor the magnets can not induce
current in the coils because the magnets did not cross the wires at 90 degrees angle.
Naduin got it right and put the toroid as in Steorns motor. Any comments to this?

Here's a photo of the toroid.

As far as the magnets, there are 4 NdFeB. There are two on each side, one facing north and the other facing south.

I think Steorn is making it look like that orientation can vary. Because indeed it would seem like the demo floor units have "standing" toroids:

while the video demo unit has "laying" toroids:

One may or may not have an advantage over the other.

Holy cr-ap! I have to somehow get my video camera footage up to youtube. This is still inconclusive, but the entire setup had been sitting unused for ~ 1/2 hour, I mounted the dremel mouter and the non-contact thermal gun, then turned on the dremel motor and the temperature began dropping right before my eyes.

Wait till you see the video.

@broli,

Yes, you are right, thank you.

I will try "standing" toroid because then no magnetic field can cross my wires.
