V Gate Wheel or the "SMOT wheel"

[Rapadura]

And now I have to repeat what I posted in the other thread again:

I think I discovered why the "V Gate Wheel" accelerates so well... In fact, I discovered that we don't really need any "V".  Instead of "V Gate Wheel" it should be named "SMOT wheel". And i think I discovered the power of the "circular SMOT".

Dear friends, everyone knows the "secret" of any SMOT is that the "next magnet" is always stronger than the "previous magnet". This is the principle of SMOT. The first magnet is the weakest, and the last magnet is the strongest.

The "SMOT wheel" is not different. Well, the difference between a SMOT wheel and a linear wheel is that usually, in a linear SMOT, the SMOT itself is the "stator", and the ball is the "runner".  In a "SMOT wheel", the SMOT is the rotor, and the ball (or cylinder) is the stator!

So, I discovered that, in a SMOT wheel, we don't need a V. We only need a gap, large enough to assure that, when our beloved stator approaches the wheel again, coming back from "exile", the "big bad" strongest magnet of the SMOT will be very far away, and the distance will make its attraction force towards the stator NOT be stronger than the attraction force of the WEAKEST magnet.

And I discovered a lot of other things that I will share with you in the image below. Please, analyse it carefully before start insulting me.

in short, what I mean is that everything in smot wheel plots for the acceleration of the wheel. It's a very promissing design.

There are many ideas about how to move the stator away from the wheel at the right moment (that is the moment when the last and strongest magnet is approaching), and move the stator back to the its original position at the right moment (that is the moment when the last and strongest magnet is far away enough to not make any "trouble", and the first and weakest magnet is approaching, restarting the acceleration process).

One of these ideas is the idea of using a cam.

Well, I hope someone take me seriously, and try to make experiments with the SMOT wheel soon, because I will only be in conditions to make my own experiments in late April.

Thanks.

Well, the last few weeks have been very busy for me here in overunity.com, but today is my last day of vacation, and tomorrow I go back to my job, so the time I can dedicate to the cause of overunity will be reduced considerably.

So, before it happens, I have to start a new thread about "V Gate Wheels" and my conclusions concerning this kind of "SMOT wheel", a thread in the correct place, that is here, in the "Magnet Motors" section.

For those not familiar with what would be a "V Gate wheel", the two videos below show two examples of working devices (with a little help from the human hand):

and

Looking at these videos, I would suggest that the motion of your hand is putting work into the system.

Yes, Paul, the hands of those two different people who made those two different wheels is putting a little work into the system. But, as I tryed to explain above, this is not the main source of work. The main source is the acceleration caused by the attraction between the stator and the magnets along the wheel, going from the weakest to the strongest (as in any SMOT).

And the best thing is that, when the stator starts to go away, it don't decelerate the wheel, in fact, it gives a little more acceleration to a wheel that was already accelerated by the "SMOT".

Having the stator far away from the wheel at the exact moment when the strongest magnet is passing, and in the next one tenth of a second, when the "gap" is passing, is sufficient to avoid any sticky spot, any "gate", what means avoid any deceleration.

And is not absurd to imagine that a well constructed cam, that can make the stator be far away at that exact moment, with the less possible friction, may cause only a little deceleration in the wheel, a deceleration that is so small that the acceleration caused by the SMOT (what means "going from the weakest to the strongest magnet along the wheel") can easily compensate for that.

Someone gave the idea of having two stators, and just one cam, in such a away that, in the moment that one stator is in friction with the cam, the other is in the middle of the SMOT, helping accelerate the wheel.

The ugly animated GIF below (I tryed to do my best with Paint and GIF animator) is a demonstration of the principle of the SMOT wheel applied to a linear SMOT.

It's an  attempt to show which is the principle of the SMOT wheel, if it wasn't a wheel, but a conventional linear SMOT.

Of course, for obvious reasons, the circular SMOT (SMOT wheel) has a lot of advantages over the linear SMOT.
