Magnet question

[gyulasun]

I dont have any software to open the file, is it a pure permanent magnet motor ?

The software is freely downloadable here, unless you choose professional version you do not have to pay for it:  http://www.sketchup.com/ 

I made a screen shot from the file ace uploaded above, opened by Sketchup, see attached.  It seems to be utilizing the combination of magnetic and gravitational forces., you can study, rotate etc it in 3D if you open it with Sketchup.  You can read other useful info on the Finsrud device on this forum, posted some years ago if you search for it, there were personal visits to Finsrud too.

   Here is a old version of Finsrud's. Were the platform is not tilted by 1 degree at it's axis. The first model of 3, has 2 (left) tilting proper moving everything at once. Were as in the one to the right, just the center pendulum is tilted. Offsetting the weight. In which I was corrected to change it to the left 2. This model is like the right one, but older and without many corrections one most likely won't see. But might shown in a way, that is easier to understand. Plus the pieces that are missing form the first one(the drive magnets) are in the older one(this one). They were removed from the other because, I know, I don't need them in my design. As well as they are in the way.
    Also still curious to see people's drawings, showing different magnet arrangements...Sketchup is an easy means to show your ideas. Far easier to use than any other 3-D program, I feel. You can export to all to any form of CAD file with plug-ins(There's countless bad ass FREE plugins for drawing too!!!). As well as 2-d JPEG exports. Everything is free. All pro aspects, plus much more, can be achieved through free plug-ins. Even a RUBY script import. To do more or less anything. For more advanced users. I almost feel like an add spokesman for them.........But I do love the software, and I'd like to see people put there idea's in a easy to view form. Most can equally understand(for the most part, in most drawings)
