Mostly Permanent Magnet Motor with minimal Input Power

I would guess you would be referring to the one I connected to my H-Bridge?... if so, sorry but no.

How about just testing the basic design to see if you feel it's worth more investment of time. I'm sure when the time comes Gyula can help with the schematics for more advanced switching.

Hi Luc,
what is the nominal strength of the magnets you are using?
(The amount of force to pull from the steel plate)

You'll have to look it up. My most recent one is made with 1" cubes N52

It would be interesting to see what happens when you double it,
may be with another set?

What i will do first Luc,is make a standard solenoid setup,using a PM insted of a steel plunger(pistion). We can then compare results of lift/distance,and power consumption between the two setup's.This will let us know if your on the right track,and how much better your setup is than a standard setup.
Should have the first video results up tonight.
