Steorn's Patented Measuring Device & SKDB

[gravityblock]

Here's a patent from Steorn:  http://www.google.com/patents?printsec=abstract&zoom=4&pg=PA3&id=1dOyAAAAEBAJ#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Inventors: Sean David McCarthy, Alan Simpson, Martin Flood, Maxime Sorin

US2009/0009157 A1 : SYSTEM
AND METHOD FOR MEASURING ENERGY IN MAGNETIC INTERACTIONS:  An apparatus and method is provided for measuring magnetic force response time due to the magnetic viscosity of materials and for measuring total energy exchanged due to relative motion of magnetic materials. Voltage and current versus time through an electromagnet is measured and recorded.....

The SKDB may teach us how to build and use the patented measuring device mentioned above in order to perform tests on the materials so we will know the optimal parameters and are able to match the materials in a successful replication, thus the reason for the hard disc drive tolerances.

I think this device needs to be explored along with the other information in the SKDB.  I will post the main parts of the SKDB in the next post.

Some of the tools for testing noted below is used in the patented measuring device.  This is the reason why I think it is essential to research the patented measuring device because it may be necessary for a successful replication.  Also take note how it mentions Homopolar Motors and Generators under "Rotating Electromagnetic Systems".  CLaNzer decided to build a Pulse motor and Homopolar generator combination and I believe he is part of the SKDB, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2I6sOc056k

There's been a lot of talk about the B-H curves in the other thread in relation to the core material.

The SKDB materials for the Orbo talks about the M-H Curves.  This needs to be researched.

An Angle Encoder is mentioned in the SKDB material for tools needed for testing.  This is used in the Patent Measuring Device.

A rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder
