Hi Craig,

Yep looks like i was right, check out the pic.

Hi All and Craig,

Just thinking about this again, if you put a weight exactly where the start of the ramp begins, this will have enough force to push the armature magnet down, this makes perfect sense, since its this part that would need the most force. This will probably be the case with mine and Craigs setup, Walter uses concave magnets and a what looks like half ring magnet, which may give different results, still once the weight has been introduced, the offbalance should provide the momentum we are looking for.    Stay tuned for more updates.

Hi all ,

re-reading the forum to see if i missed something , Mrd take a look at page 17, theres a nice pic of the rotor.

Hi All,

My Stator mechanism weighs the grand total of 25 grams, Magnet, washer screw etc.

I placed a 1 kilo bag of sugar on top of the rotor, and guess what?

No change what so ever in the performance.......

So as Mrd has hinted, is this the secret of the torbay?

Can anyone work out the maths? ie what is the energy required to stop a flywheel of 1 kilo rotating at 1 metre per second, perhaps we have the ramp licked after all.

Just spent 2 hours reading this thread and would like to just say "Well Done Guys".

Look forward to seeing more and if it continues at this rate I will fire up my CNC and do some tests.

Meanwhile back to the basics this end of finding out how long these magnet pinch cuts all over my fingers take to heal!!!

Regards

Sean.
