My Perendev Replication

[matthew6060]

I work in a machine shop with some pretty smart guys.  we are not engineers though nor are we physics majors.  we do believe that the Perendev design would work if all of the bugs were worked out.  we built this motor a few months ago right before i stumbled across overunity.com.  we used 0.5in x 1in neodymium magnets and it does not run.  we set it up in repulsion and have tried a few different combinations of magnets in the stator.  through researching this device i was blown away by all of the different devices and ideas that people have come up with.  if anyone has any input good or bad i am all ears.

Very nice machine job. What is the material you used, red Plexi?

Now that I think about it, this is very much the same as my setup, use the majority to push the 1 through the sticky spot. One of the problems I have encountered with this platform is the sticky spot is big. Thats why there are 3 rotor/stator sections, so that2 sections ar in push/pull mode to get through the 1 sections sticky spot. Maybe more sections. But I think we have all said that before. ;]

Does it spin smooth? Are the rotor mags even count and the stator odd?

no, it is urethane i believe.  it's expensive stuff but i was able to get all of the material required out of our scrap pile.  i made it so that each layer consists of 2 halves that sandwich together to squeeze the magnets in place.  that way i was able to make everything laying flat on a cnc table...  we thought that the material would be able to shield the magnets by itself but that was wrong.  i was already almost done in the cnc by the time we recieved the magnets in the mail...

the stator and the rotor have the same number of magnet pockets...
