"Tiny Orbo Replication" over 100% efficiency

[PaulLowrance]

Thanks for resources!

BTW, just tested the circuit and it's working better than expected. When the magnet is at top dead center, the circuit pulses the toroid coil for ~ 10us, then the circuit immediately shorts the toroid to maintain such current as long as possible as the magnet escapes the toroid. This method allows the energy stored in inductance to be used as useful energy to appreciably maintain the current pulse. Note, this method is for designs that rotate well above 10000 rpm.

This means it should be no problem to self-run. Lets hope Sean is wrong about the current pulse having to be constant.

I doubt any company will patent this circuit, but just to be safe and so it will remain open-source could as many people as possible down load the circuit file -->

Btw, the ones in the $8 fan are by now means magnetic levitation bearings. It's just a marketing stunt.

Well designed, well manufactured, unloaded electric motors seems to
"levitate" their rotors into the center their bearings as a matter of
course. This sounds like a marketing freebee to me too. They may
have to balance their fans a little better than normal to do this.

There are a couple of companies with videos on youtube that seem
to specialize in magnetic levitation for control purposes. They seem
to be able to do all sorts of amazing motion control, as long as one
is willing to include a strong magnet into the object being controlled.

@Paul-L

I have continued interest in your "tiny orbo" repliocation.

Nice start of a replication Mags. Eventually you'll get the losses down. That might require different toroids or a lot more turns. In my "tiny orbo replication 2" there are ~ 170 turns on the toroid.
