"Tiny Orbo Replication" over 100% efficiency

[PaulLowrance]

Cool, I thought of a way (an obvious method) to make radially magnetized ring magnets out of common cube magnets, and hence magnetic levitation bearings,

Is this now when they send the Thugs to bury me 6 feet under to prevent a self-runner?  I've been ready for that for years now. Looking forward to catching me some thugs to hand over to the authorities.

Good thinking, Paul. But why not use arc segments? I think you'll find the field will be more uniform.

Hi,

I believe those arc magnets are aligned lengthwise, which is in the wrong direction. I'm sure someone magnetizes arc magnets in the thin height / inward direction, but they're definitely uncommon. Let me know if you find any at a good price.

Yesterday I bought 500 tiny 1/16" cube NdFeB magnets for practically nothing, like $8. That should be enough to make the levitation bearing and also the new designed "Self running Orbo Replication."

Nope, they're magnetized just the way you want them. You need to buy 2 sets, though, because they are alternating polarity, half with N pole inside and the other half with S pole inside.

I have a couple sets and have already built 2 magnetic bearings with them, very much like you suggest. But even with these, it's not as simple as you might think. It handles the radial loads nicely, but not the axial load.

Give George a call. He's a helluva nice guy and will answer any questions you might have.

I agree that each neighbor would have to be oppositely polarized in order to stick like that unglued.

So this is what you recommend,

Two of these (can only hope it's correct because image is broken):
OD=15.9mm, $3.50*2 = $7

OD=31.94mm, $3.50*2 = $7
http://www.supermagnetman.net/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=323

So that makes both ends for $14?
