Magnet motor in Argentina

[silverdragonrs]

what programs are you all using for simulations (FEMME???) and how hard are they to learn/use if your were a beginner? I would love to test some of my ideas and what not....

[silverdragonrs]

ok I am almost up to date on this device but one question......

the rotor is held in an upright position by two bearings acording to the pictures.....

the elevating arms w/magnets are pushed up by either a rotor arm w/weels, or some sort of bevel setup. either way once it's up it's up.

the rotor cap pushes the elevating arm back down after the rotor magnets reach there destination and the rotor w/arm moves on to the next elevating arm.

Q #1 ) with all that magnetic force holding that elevating arm up there right now....... what is keeping the rotor from pulling up and out of the bearings? what is stopping it from flying off?    

Q #2 ) had anyone looked into the generator that he used with his device? I would love to get/build one that could create that kind of power... self propelled motor or not! I think that this generator is just as important as the device. the over all torque on this thing can't be all that high... right? .... i mean are we talking stop it from turning with your hand or pliers..... or are we talking heavy duty torque?.... and if it's not heavy duty torque then where do you get a generator to produce this kind of energy without requiring alot of torque to power it?

has anyone had a successfull 100% simulation yet?

ok i finally read and understand the entire thread (i think) and am ready to start building my prototype...... one problem.... can anyone list some scources where i can get magnets from i have no money but plenty of harddrives and speakers.

I have only six two inch long rectanglular perm magnets (not sure of quality) and four more that are half an inch shorter than that..... can i cut them all into one inch (somehow)..... will that still work for stator magnets?

also i am not sure as to the layout of the rotor magnets (three pointing up left then right or all three side by side pointing in one direction? the patent shows them all pointing in one direction mostly...... or are we going to try the disk magnet first?)

I do not have a teslemeter or even know what it is... along with half the tools you are all using.... so i need somebody to tell me where to find sutable magnets.

MOST IMPORTANT - i know that all the magnets are going to need cuts and bevels and such.... what i have not been able to gather from the thread is where what angle/shape and demensions.......

I think you have all done a great job analyzing this device based on nothing but a few articles and blurry pictures and i know it will work. I want to thank you all for your effort and dedication to this project....... ( I know i am enjoying it) I have learned so much in the last few days it isn't funny!

just a heads up - my first prototype will be disk magnet rotor with lifting arm w/ weels for lifting elevating arms. trial and error is the only way we will be able to work out the remaining details i think.

one last question before i hit the sack for the night - does anyone have any spare magnets they would be willing to part with and mail to me?....    J/K

seriously though omnibus, tao, everyone, ..... do you think that for a prototype that aluminum will be a good material to use for everything other than the magnets of course. aluminum melts easy and i don't like the idea of making it out of wood....

problem - the pins that alow the elevating arms to elevate..... wouldn't they where out really really really fast? were talkin alot of up and down.... there has to be a better way..... (for future models)

agreed on all points. and understood. my thought was that at some point a bearing of some sort should be emplemented in the design. on the site and in the papers they talk about it lasting 5000 years because that is the life of the magnet they used. however the pins would give out in only a few years max (assuming that the device opperates at a medium to moderate rate of speed)

also the question of how many magnets was asked at some point. I think that the number of magnets you use depends greately on the size and quality of the magnets you are going to implement. exp. the magnets that I will be using do not have a super strong feild and if i only use 8 magnets then the fields would not interact/overlap causing the rotor magnet to get stuck between magnets up or down. if i can not find better magnets i will have to "close the field" so to say by using more magnets.

You're not forgetting the repulsion force resisting the lifted magnet as it is being pushed back down between two magnets of like polarity, are you?
