Magnet motor in Argentina

Here are some examples of what I feel is going on...

also evident is the TRACK MARKS from perhaps the "magnet wheel" riding around and contacting the "ramp" on the underside of the wooden prototype;

NOTE: if it IS TRULY track marks, how many revolutions did it take to etch those into that wood? 1000's?...it may be something else, but it could be track marks.

Also, i believe these magnets are the ones he had to "Shape" by hand....put a slight curve to match the curve of the rotor...closer means more torque.

Jaybird, it appears that the wooden prototype (p15.jpg) and the one we are discussing with Feb2006 and Cisco (12a.jpg) are two different variants of a stator magnet with a triangular ramp. One (wooden prototype p15.jpg) has the triangular ramp underneath the stator magnet, the other (12a.jpg) above it. This requires the rotor wheel (wheels) to be under the level of the rotor magnets for the wooden prototype, as in your schematic, and above the level of the rotor magnets for the prototype in 12a.jpg. This now seems to be established.

The new moment for me from your explanation is that because of the mutual repulsion the stator magnets when pushed up stay there (and don?t fall spontaneously under their weight) until the specially shaped rotor cap forces them down in a slope. It appears, however, that the rotor cap is the ?sist. de descenso controlado? in the general view of the motor (prototipo en corte.jpg on page 25) and not the ?tapa? as you?ve indicated in your schematic.

Now that we know what the concrete form of the lifting mechanism is (triangular ramp) it?s interesting to find out what the rotor cap exactly looks like.

(12a.jpg) is one arm underconstruction no magnet on it yet.
