People, here is a very important post just made by Sean from Steorn 7 hours ago,

"Folks,

Just so that you are aware - we have seen various claims of replications of our system from various sources. However we have been through most of these today and can advise that none of the supposed replications of the core effect are in fact replications at all. Specifically in all the cases that we have examined we are 100% confident that CEMF exists and that this is the primary cause of rotor motion.

Our next experiment is scheduled for 17:00 GTM this Friday, January 8th.

Thanks,

Sean"

Luvyawork! That looks friggin awesome. I'm working on a baby version using the fan rotor.
When you have time I'd love to know the following.
Why have you changed the position of the toroids by 90deg?
When you used the charge coil in another vid on your 1st motor it seemed to affect the speed. So I thought you would try to charge off a 2nd set of mags not affected by the toroids attached by another 100mm PVC cap bolted above the existing one. Or is that a bad idea?

I worked with a nifty switching circuit today from JDO300.  Basically a reed switch, switching a power mosfet.  Circuit works great but we found out what my problem has been all along...My toroids.  It seems that the cores, of which I have had for years, are of the type that do NOT saturate easily but require a great deal of current, and they are also too large, nearly 2.25 inches in diameter.

So, now I will order the proper toroidal cores and try once again... LOL  Frustrated and ready to see this dude spin...    And I also have all of my parts arriving tomorrow to replicate Jean Naudin's circuit, but will wait until I have wound a proper coil.

To be honest, if your stuck and cannot work on your projects because you do not have proper toroids, there is an answer.  My motor is running quite well with my steel washer toroid. I can't say it's any better or worse than using  a proper toroid, because I have not had enough time to get it all done yet.  But I do know it spins right up, and is low current consumption right off the bat.  I have alot of tuning to do, and need to hook things up to a proper recovery circuit and stuff, but I'm pleased with the first run already.

Moral of the story, proper toroids may still be the best answer.  But if it keeps you from getting anything done, go grab a washer with the biggest center hole you can find and get to winding that baby... lol... you never know, you may end up with a motor that runs better than all the rest.  This is all new to us, so technically, there is no instruction manual.  Improvise!  Then when you improvise something that doesn't work, let us know, so the rest of us don't make the same mistakes!

Hi Paul,

I respect Sean most highly, but from the "demo" motor, I must say that if it looks like a duck, quacks like duck, has a spark across the reed relay (inductive kickback) and drives off the side of a Toroid coil, gee, it must be a duck!  Remember CEMF does not make a field outside the core of the toroid and hence can not drive the rotor......But then in the past I have learned to LOVE roasted crow, lightly salted.  I remain.......

Respectfully
Ben
