Magnet motor in Argentina

@silverdragonrs
it depends how your magnets are polarized via the magnetisation.
You can probably use a few of the "magnet four" of your drawing
for the stator magnets and for the rotor magnet get a disc magnets
where the North-Southpole polarisation goes through its diameter.
You can use a small bar magnet to see, where the poles are on your magnets
and where it repells or attracts.
Sometimes magnets are polarized also with many poles on its surfaces, like
N-S-N-S-N-S changing all the time, so they stick best to iron surfaces and
have thus more attraction force to the surface. These could not be used
for the Torbay motor.

I think I finally understand what is going on in this system, and I admit, it is very impressive. 

One thing though, and this goes toward ease of building; Instead of lifting the magnet away, why not place the wheel in tangent to the disc magnet, and as it progresses the individual stator magnets are PUSHED AWAY from the rotor; ala pulling slices out of the pie rather than lifting them from the pie... 

From what I see is all that is needed to impart the movement towards equilibrium is to move a magnet out of the way and create a magnetic 'gap' for the rotor magnet to align with, so just pushing the magnet out of the way would accomplish this. In this way one could make a system completely two-dimensional and then you could make everything as long or tall as needed for the required power output, so you could have a very long cylindrical unit or just a short disc unit, with corresponding stator sizes, of course. Pretty much, you would be able to stack units on a common axis for more output.

Correct me if I am mistaken, I havent had the time to read the whole thread!

Wow.  It looks like you guys have been busy here. 

If you would like to organize the presentation of what you have come up with so far, so newcomers don't have to plow through all previous posts, feel free to do so at PESWiki.

I have a feature page for what is on the Argentine site
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Walter_Torbay%27s_Magnetic_Transgenerator
It includes translations of the various pages.

Here is a beginning index page for you
http://peswiki.com/index.php/OS:Argentina_%28Torbay%29_Magnet_Motor

We can create a side-bar for easy, consistent navigation between the various sub-pages:
- home
- introduction
- materials
- plans
- photos
- videos
- replications
- variants
- theory
- FORUM (links back here)

Each of those can be a sub-page.

I see, sort of the difference between pulling two attracted magnets apart vs. sliding them past each other...
Ingenious indeed! It looks too that this device will be very simple to replicate... I must build one...

EDIT: One question, must the stators be so long, depth-wise? Could they be just as easily short, so that no hinge is needed but just a track to move up and down within?

I would say it's time to stop theorizing and rendering, and start cutting and gluing.

I think the optimism is unjustified, (surely you have noticed that the most promising free energy motor is, and always has been,
"the next one"?) but if I had the time and materials, I'd make one right now.

Don't worry about machine shops until you've got a wood version that works.

I suggest that nearly anything can be made from balsa wood... the secret is that you glue all the pieces together with
superglue (cyanoacrylate) and then coat the whole thing with epoxy glue. The result will be ugly and might need sanding
but will be very durable- the fragile balsa is acting as little more than a sponge to hold the glues, which dry very hard and
strong.

You can have a CAD drawing of all the pieces that prints out at 1/1 scale, and you could trace the pieces onto your balsa,
cut them out, and then assemble. This might be the best way to ensure anyone could replicate your device if you get it
working.

Diametrically magnetized ring or cylinder magnets are hard to find, especially if you want one larger than 2 inches...
everything else you can get at the local hardware store.
