Brushless Homopolar N-Machine Idea ...

Something like this,

Really wish I had two or three of these 100K rpm.

Is your motor akin to either of these ,if so which?

The Dyson motor in a blender would make a mean margarita...LOL.

But no, neither of those.

The basic difference Joe, is they use a conductor (Wire)
in a winding of many turns (Electromagnetic coil).

What we are talking about here uses the disc
as the current path to make the magnetism.

Well, and we supply and additional magnet
to interact with to obtain the result.

Now take that "Motor" concept and reverse it to be a generator
that is what we are talking about.

Although the magnet is optional.

Got your attention?

Example:
Take two regular ball bearing races
and push a conductive metal rod through both.

attach a pair of battery terminals to the outer races
of each of those bearing races and the shaft will spin.
Very Very fast in fact.

There are no magnets, no windings, only a current path.
A current path that exibits magnetism in the three pieces.
The vortexing/spiraling nature of electricity is what spins the shaft.

No one has determined exactly why this works so well.
Not to any degree I could ever find satisfactory anyway.

I am (In this thread) trying to separate
what actually does and does not happen
concerning the twisting nature of magnetism
in devices that utilize this method.

OK, and create/collect a few really off the wall ideas...

I always got a kick out of the fact
that Faraday's own rules could not be applied
to his own discovery of the homopolar disc.

Bet that baked his noodle a bit.

Very good stuff Compututor
I had seen the yt vid of the bearings, no mags and it is sweet.
Now I get where you are coming from and it is a nice place.
I have to get to work.
And that Dyson motor, I want to put that in my car as an electric supercharger! lol  4 bar! thats just sick.

Be back later

Oh   and the mags in the drum is genius!   =]

Yes,you explain quite well
