No polar motor

[angryScientist]

no, energy doesn't like to do work, energy is for those that have been forced to do work. I don't see why you don't see this. i don't know why you don't see my analogy. my analogy is universal, it works with all 'forces'.

Sorry there onthecuttingedge2005,
I hadn't been following your every post. I've had my mind occupied with other more pertinent, to myself anyway, thoughts. I guess I'm just selfish that way but then again that is a universal trait among all living things and not only that, it is an essential trait for preservation.

Aside from that, I have been reading your most recent posts trying to figure out just what you are talking about.

Hey Sparks.
Looks good. If ya look at it, it is a homo polar and the mag plates just have a curve. But what is different is the magnetic field is cutting the copper at the same speed on the inner and the outer as compared to a disk setup where its slower on the inside and faster on the outside.
That conductor could be a drum. Or spokes. But I wonder how that constant field speed would affect the output as compared to the disk.

    The brown rod protruding from the armature down into the slot is the permanent magnet polarized so as to duplicate a current carrying conductor.  The little arrows in the other diagrams show magnetic field line polarities not rotation.
The arm in this drawing swings.  There is no connection shown from this motor to a load.  Unloaded this machine would blow itself apart.

The drawback is that the magnetic lines must return back to the opposite pole. And those lines must somehow cross the wire again. Ther is just as many magnetic lines that is "exiting" a pole as those which is returning back to the opposite pole. So any forces will allways cancel eachother out somehow, somewhere.

Below are a couple of pictures.  One is the magnetic field lines in a dc shunt wound motor.  It is a crude representation of the magnetic circuit inside a dc stator field winding.  Permanent magnets are also used to produce this field in a permanent magnet dc motor.  I have also drawn and included representations of flux lines and direction in a barmagnet and a crude horseshow magnet or cowbell magnet.  As you can see in the cowbell the armature of the nopole will be traveling through magnetic field lines that always have the same vector.
