Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

On the practical side. Is there anyone who has access to a manufacturing facility (with a llathe and milling machines and so on) to whom we would send money for making the details after we agree upon the concrete desiign?

Feb2006, if it's for simplicity, wouldn't it be simpler to use Torbay's design with stationary magnets, each one supplied with a small wheel to be pressed by the motor cap? Each of these stator magnets (or the piece they're embedded in) would easily be beveled to allow raising the magnet by an easily attachable large wheel. Seems to me that would be easier to manufacture.

I think my design in Reply #305 is simpler, only one wheel on each stator piece to do the lifting and down puch
no wheel on the rotor no bevel on each stator piece only a up ramp a down ramp and hold down on the rotor (motor) cap.

I have Minilathe and CNC Router.  I use them to make prototypes (wood - aluminum). and I do not need any money to build one.  Idea is to build as many prototypes as possible all with different ideas which are shared here on the forum.  This way there is a better chance to have one working. Is there anyone else who could build prototype?  I think there is a way to build one without using lathes and milling machines.

I agree, avoiding beveling is a big relief. The ramp has to be done very carefully, though. Your ramp is the crux of the matter.  In your design there still will be a motor cap pushing on the small wheels mounted on the top of the stator magnets. Your motor cap is much simpler to make (a circle with just this much opening on one side).

Let me mention also about the HD which I prefer before the CD 'cause it's sturdier. My HD has aluminum casting which is very hard to do anything with and is surrounding the disc - disc is simehow dipped in this aluminum shell. Anybody with exerience with these HD's? Probably we should agree on a certain diameter of the HD disc as well.

That'll be great but I'm not sure we can do without if precision is sought for. I think precision is of the essence in this project.
