The Bucking Magnet Motor

[z.monkey]

i have made the same thing you have at my shop

Wut U say?  You built the UABMM2?  Or the Mill?

I gotta say you picked a bad time for help on a magnet motor.  I feel like I could probably do this, if I had a research budget, and I don't, and it seems like you don't either.  If you are determined to make a free energy device an alternator would be a much more practical choice.  Then couple the alternator to an open system, like the wind, and there you go.  Its not that I don't want to help, but magnet motors are on my shit list right now.  Go look at the Dia. Mag. Alternator thread, its a much more practical, and useful device, that you can actually make work, unlike the dubious magnet motor.  I gotta say that if you have the impetus to build stuff then you are way ahead of the masses, but the Magnet Motor is the wrong way to go.  Take that Neodymium magnet, put it on a shaft and spin it next to some coils instead.  Pick something that is within your scope of feasibility, and not too much of a challenge.  Once you get a success, then pick a more challenging project...

Look at the DiaMag7 specifically...

Then look at DiaMag8...

More power to you in your experimentifying...

Over this week I have gathered the materials to make a new mount for the UABMM2.  First I'm going to a larger shaft, and I picked up a piece of 1/2" steel round stock.  I picked the softer material this time because I need to machine a keyway into it for the split taper bushing.  A split taper bushing is used to hold pulleys and sprockets to a shaft, and should work perfect for holding the rotor.  Also had to get 1/2 inch bearings, for the new shaft, and the end plates to hold the bearings.  I had to order another plate of AMS4051, had one in stock.  So now I have the plates marked up to make the bearing mounts, and am ready to start machining them.  The new arrangement ill be similar to the way it is now, with the four threaded rods being the main support structure, but I am removing the DiaMag6 alternator in favor of the new support plates.  When I get the UABMM2 running I plan on designing a new alternator which is scaled to the UABMM2 plate size, and based on the DiaMag8 alternator.

I did get a little time to work on the UABMM2 this weekend.  Cut the new shaft and fitted the split taper bushing.  I spotted the holes in the new bearing mounting plates using a 1/4 inch, 90 degree point,  M42 Cobalt spotting mill.  Then bored out the holes in the plates to make the stack using a step drill.  The sacrificial block is the same on I used to machine the UABMM2 Motor plate, so the holes already fit.  I used the 7/8" inch counter sink to make the countersinks in the back of the sacrificial block.  And then  I am using grade 8, 1/2 inch countersunk bolts to hold the stack together while I am machining the shapes in the stack.  Again, like the other radiused cuts I have made, I am using my Z Axis stud which I jam into the table to be the center of the radius, and the cam action table clamps to hold everything to the table during cutting.  I should have the new bearing mounting brackets cut in another day or so...

Respect to great work!! Have you tried to accelerate the engine at least 1300 rpm and more?  All "real" magnet-motors must be pre-accelerated before they "hook up into”!

Thanks Reisender,
So I might need a starter motor?
I hadn't thought of that, but I'll keep it mind...
