Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

I agree, this is a very clever idea and if properly implemented it may work. I'll be amazed if it won't. Unless, we're overlooking something. Of course, the final proof will be to see the device on a table spinning by itself, untouched.

I again tried to enhance the picture from the last prototype and here are
the results in 800x600 size attached to this message

You can clearly see, that the attached generator at the top looks
like a DC motor working as an DC generator, geared up in speed
from the Torbay motor,
driving a halogen spot light, probably a 10 to 50 Watts halogen
light spot lamp.

Here is the motor-generator combination driving the
probably halogen spot lamp.

If this can be demonstrated then that would be it. Period. End of story. I'm trying to get hold of Torbay, even visit him but still am getting nowhere. The e-mails I sent to two of the Argentinean newspapers covering the invention haven't been answered yet. Probably because of the national hiloday in Argentina. Will try Monday again. I'm also eagerly waiting for Wesley Snyder's demo. If he can show an independently running motor (without holding it in his hands) that'll do it too. Scott Clarke promised to show his motor as well. Not to speak of Mike Brady.

Hi all,

Here?s two more cents worth of contemplations. I was looking at the photos of Torbay?s wooden prototype and I was trying to see how he might have the magnet(s) in his wooden rotor oriented. If you look at the picture, it looks like just one single ceramic disk magnet:



I drew up another diagram showing my idea of how it could work in the simplest form. I also simulated this diagram and found that the rotor responds with the most torque with the stator magnet directly on the right is moved. It is obvious to me now that this mechanism works? I wonder if there is a better way to do this though?

God Bless,
