A proposal on how to use the rotor cap to also lift

Hi Feb2006,

That's funny , I've been thinking about the same principle too (that is putting a guiding weel on the stator segments).
Still I think that the stator magnets should stay down on their own (once they're pushed down by the descending system). If not the wheels on all the stator segments will keep touching the cap and that might well slow down the engine. Thats why I still think a spring can come in handy to keep it down when the segment is not involded in raising or descending. I'll make a little drawing of how i see it and put it on here later....

Omnibus,

I think you're right about the CD's. But I was only thinking about the rotor when aI mentioned the 8 cm cd's. I guess if you have two of them and glue the rotor magnet in between (and some more supports all the way round it should be sturdy enough (and its lightweight). Also jaybirds idea of a harddisc motor and platter sounds good. I still got one 3,5 inch HD here that i can use.

Here's the drawing of my idea with the help of a spring. The spring should create a little downforce on the stator magnet while its not being used.
Does it make any sense?

Lowering the arm in the presence of the rotor may still be difficult. Spring will help a lot. But what about lowering it before rotor even reach it? It is like timing it a little ahead.

dutchy1966, I think the idea for the guiding system seems good as long as it?s appropriately shaped to ensure proper timing of lifting and descending. I wonder about the spring holding down the stator magnet. Wouldn?t it be better to have it attached perpendicularly to the main lever. In this way it will always pull the stator magnet down until it is forcibly lifted by the guiding system.
