76-104 are speed control parts.  if we get that far along to need a control for the speed, i'll id them.

this has been a good exercise for me.  as you can tell from one of my earlier post, i was thinking the rotor had magnets too.  i was wrong.  only the stators have magnets.

hope this helps.

I may be way off here as I only took a brief look at the patent but as soon as I got to the part where they mentioned using iron or soft metal as a 'shield' I gave up reading further.  To my knowledge iron and other similar metals do not shield magnetic fields.  In the case of iron it will extend the field if it's in contact or close to a magnet.  Seeing that as a basic flaw in their theory I didn't go any further.

e2matrix,

i think you would be right if the iron you used was not thick enough and was saturated.  then any excess flux could be felt on the opposite side of where the magnet is.

you can do a simple test to satisfy yourself.  take 2 magnets and a small amount of transformer steel (something magnetic).  place 1 magnet with north side to metal.  now take the other magnet and approach (with north facing metal) the metal from the other side of the first magnet.  we know without the metal between, the 2 magnets would repel strongly.  with the metal, this force is reduced and if thick enough, the 2nd magnet will stick to the metal too.  in order for this to happen the flux from the 1st magnet must not be seen by the 2nd magnet.

give it a try and let us know what you find.

hi all,

there is another saying where i come from.  "no news is good news."  since no one has blasted this machine, i guess no one can find a fault.  GREAT!!

of course i'm just trying to get attention.  let's have a serious look at this machine.

in order for this machine to work, the stator magnets must be shielded and unshielded.  the inventor claims...

"1.  Means for shielding and unshielding a permanent magnet of the bar type including a casing formed of a material capable of shielding and containing the magnetic flux field of said magnet and completely encasing the magnet except for one end pole thereof, and a shield of similar material moveable on and at least partially off of said pole and said casing to encase and unencase said pole and the magnetic flux field."

is this possible?  i think so.  a problem may come as a result of this.  other than the face that the rotor is exposed to, thickness of material shouldn't matter.  however, if this thickness for the shield prevents the rotor material to be close enough to feel the pull of the magnet (when uncovered), then the main force for rotation won't exist.  from here, we are lead to how much force is there?  the design of the cam that moves the shield should not have a problem uncovering the magnet, but covering it could be a problem.  the sharp accent the cover assy. has to make and the spring tension it has to overcome, in my mind, could be considerable.  in section 4 the inventor says....

"In the operation of the machine, the rotor 46 is given an initial degree of rotation as through the exposed end of the power shaft 40,...."

this falls in line with what we were just talking about.  does the unit self start?  if no, as the last quote suggest, why?  does the rotor have to have momentum to move the shield out to cover the magnet?

the magnets (54 & 55) and rotor block material (51 & 52) are located far out from the hub with the cams (66 & 68).  this will give leverage to the attraction between the magnet and block material.   is it enough to make the shield movement easy? or at all?

i'll hold up here so others can add their 2 cents worth.

hi all,

i've been studying the patent and now see the cam is not as sharp as i first thought.  it looks like it takes about 80 degrees to complete an uncover to cover segment of one rev.  a couple of things might help make this easier.  1.) make the rotor diameter larger.  this would give the rotor more leverage.  2.) enlarge the 80 degrees to maybe 135 degrees.  i think this would have more than one stator magnet uncovered (or at least uncovering) at once.  that might even be a good thing as long as the attraction was kept ahead of the rotor.

any body know enough about this machine to make a comment or ask a question yet?

I know for a fact - through my own experiments - that you can overcome magnetism (I won't use the word 'shield' because it is inappropriate in this context). You can take - for example - a peice of ferrite material of suitable thickness and place it against a magnet of suitable strength and then take another magnet and bring the same pole closer to the ferrite material - you will reach a point where the distance between the ferrite material and the other magnet results in an apparent 'neutral point' where attraction and repulsion are cancelled out somewhat. This is because the proximity of the ferrite material combined with the opposite magnets repulsion results in a neutralising of the attraction and repulsion effects. Admittedly this point of neutrality is very small, but it is worth investigating.
