Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

Hi MRD,

after watching your video a few times it seems that in order for the device to continue to spin the magnet which is beside the middle of the three magnets on your center wheel needs to be depressed.   So, could you try a second arm which goes out over the middle magnet and presses down on the  magnet as it passes.   I have drawn my idea on your pic in red and have placed a top and side view of the part on the lower left of the picture.

Hi Ktm,

I did try this but just placing magnet with my hand, because I thought the same thing as you, I think it didnt work, but ill try your suggestion as this would make it all magnet driven.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I've been playing with my model tonight, and i'm learning alot from it, for example:-

Spacing between armature magnets has to be the same, good way of testing is to just have one magnet on the rotor, as you flip down each of the stator magnets the rotor should flip forward, you can test all of them this way, infact when you get this right, you can probably run this device with only one magnet on the rotor, to increase the torque all ive done is stacked magnets right behind the one rotor magnet.

stay tuned.

Hi MRD,

I thought of it some more,  the disk idea is the way to go because if you had a lot of weight on one part of the rotating mass the whole thing would be out of balance. if the top disk was the same diameter as the outside magnets it could be balanced properly.   The other thing that I was thinking of is a semi-circle ramp that went around the outside like a lobe on a cam shaft and pressed the magnets down as required.  Here's another simple drawing.

Hi Ktm,

You know , you read my mind exactly, off balance is the key as well.
That has been playing on my mind,  I reckon his using a weight in the disc too.

The disc mechanism is the tricky part I suspect, I had another idea while pondering what you were mentioning in your previous post, about using magnet. On the end of the leavers Im going to attach magnets, probably using zippy ties, just to speed construction time abit, and build another arm out, as you mentioned and attach magnet on that and have that pull up the magnets on the end, that way they wont interact with the other magnets close by, if i dont have any success with just using magnets then ill try disc.

Thanks Again,

Mrd
