First: Please stop spamming by opening multiple threads on the same subject.
You also cannot obtain a defensible patent on prior art. If you are trying to attract investors or some such thing then you will need to explain to them what problem it is that you solved, and why you were able to solve it and others before you did not.
I only started a new thread because to me it does in fact appear 'obvious' that today I have invented a 'NEW 'MAGNETIC-BEARING', which is distinct from 'MY-OTHER-MAGNETIC-BEARING-INVENTION', in that this 'NEW 'MAGNETIC-BEARING' has the full versatility to be used in all applications that other 'magnetic-bearings' are normally used in ( due to a sufficiently different design from 'MY-OTHER-MAGNETIC-BEARING-INVENTION' ) .
MY OTHER REASON FOR CREATING A NEW THREAD, IS BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST WAY OF MAKING THE OTHER INVENTORS ON THIS SITE IMMEDIATELY AWARE OF THIS 'NEW 'MAGNETIC-BEARING'.
IT, COULD FOR EXAMPLE, PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE.
( It fell into a grey area, of whether or not to create a new thread )
( I have observed the consequences for this site resulting from the unnecessary creation of new threads, and threads created to attract investors for fraudulent inventions( where not all the details of how the invention works are disclosed ), and new threads created to discuss subjects which are irrelevant to this site ( as entertaining as they are ) .
The only thread I have ever created unnecessarily, was the one regarding a 'non-electric-permanent-magnet-powered-faraday-motor' , because 'I DID NOT KNOW' that that subject was already being discussed in another thread called 'Permanent magnet motor', I had not seen that thread before, and I thought that specific designs of 'magnet-motors' had their own thread.

Below is an image of this NEW 'MAGNETIC-BEARING', I INVENTED TODAY
( It's obviously 'incredibly' simple )
In the image below, at the point labelled at the bottom of the image as 'POINT X' , there would be a 'magnetic-cradle' such as the one in my other invention http://overunity.com/15966/my-levitating-object-invention/msg459006/#msg459006 , to keep the moving-part of the magnetic-bearing in place in the opposite 90-degree angle, to make it a 100% magnetic-bearing, unlike others.
( This can function in all the applications where all other magnetic-bearings can function in, which makes it different to my 'OTHER MAGNETIC-BEARING-INVENTION' http://overunity.com/15966/my-levitating-object-invention/msg459006/#msg459006 , but that invention has it's own significant advantages )

Your magnetic bearing ideas won't work, neither this one nor the other one. You have not found a way around Earnshaw's Theorem at all. Your system is unstable as others have already pointed out to you. I suggest that you "curb your enthusiasm" until you have done some experimentation for yourself and have constructed some prototypes or testbeds. You may learn a lot by doing so.
There are several ways that magnetic levitation/non-contact bearings can work.
One is stabilization through rotation (like the Levitron toy).
Another is active stabilization using electromagnets and feedback loops.
A third way is to use superconductivity, flux pinning (Meissner effect).
Levitron-type systems are dependent upon very careful adjustment and spinning to stay in the "sweet spot" for levitation to occur. The "Mendocino Motor" system needs one small contact point to stabilize the system so it will work. Steorn used this type of magnetic bearing in their Orbo designs. Active (electromagnetic, feedback-stabilized) magnetic bearing systems are used in a number of commercial applications such as high-end turbomolecular vacuum pumps. Superconducting systems need active cooling which adds to complexity and cost.
The simple ones function( where they just rest on the 'two' magnets etc ), there are numerous genuine youtube videos, showing them working with no problems, examine the image at the URL below .
( I WAS worried that using more than two magnets, would not function the same as the simple ones, BUT NOW I HAVE REALIZED THAT IF THE DIAMETER OF THE MOVING-PART ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEARING ) IS LARGE ENOUGH, THAT IT WILL FUNCTION )

Please stop with the all caps.
If you think you are going to get anywhere then at least for yourself come up with what it is you think you have that is unique, why you think it would work, and why you think no one thought of it before. If you thnk you have good answers to all three questions then you can start working on analyzing / modeling it, and/or building a prototype.

THIS IS THE "MENDOCINO MOTOR" SUSPENSION SYSTEM. IT REQUIRES ONE POINT CONTACT FOR STABILITY. WITHOUT THIS CONTACT THE ROTOR WILL SIMPLY CRASH INTO THE SUSPENDING MAGNETS. THIS IS IN FACT A DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRUTH OF EARNSHAW'S THEOREM.
HERE IS A VIDEO OF MY ELECTROSTATIC MOTOR USING THAT SUSPENSION SYSTEM:

THAT IS RIGHT, IT WILL NOT WORK. BUILD IT YOURSELF AND FIND OUT WHY NOT. DON'T SMASH YOUR FINGERS!
(It might work if you can spin-stabilize the "levitated" magnet properly. Then you will have invented the Levitron.)

Yes, it has to be a rigid, physical contact.

No, unfortunately that won't work. You'll notice that the "MM" suspension system has a sharp point, bearing onto a piece of glass, for very low friction. The levitation magnets need to be adjusted so that the rotor axle's point bears gently on the glass. If this point-contact has any flexibility, the rotor will crash, since it is being simultaneously attracted and repelled by the lower supporting magnets on the frame, and must be precisely fixed in position axially with respect to the magnets on the frame. People have tried using magnets on one or the other or even both ends of the axle to attain this fixed position, but it has never worked because of the "springiness" of the magnetic attraction or repulsion. The rigid point-contact is the only way that has been discovered so far to make the suspension stable.
Steorn's variant of this system used a vertical axle and very strong ring magnets, concentrically positioned on frame and axle, with the "point contact" being a hardened ball which bore against the hardened face of a micrometer adjusting screw. By adjusting the mike, the proper axial position could be set and maintained at a low-friction but axially stable position.
All of that being said, these systems are fun to experiment with and I am encouraging you to do some experimentation of your own, if and when you are able. Perhaps you can find a new arrangement that hasn't yet been tried. But as I said earlier, as long as you don't have some kind of prototype, and are covering ground that has already been well explored, you might think about holding off on making big claims, and especially, I'd advise that you don't spend any money on patent lawyers...yet! Wait till you have a proof-of-concept prototype constructed that works as you think it should.

Thank you for not using all-caps routinely.
I think, as I said earlier, that rotational (spinning) stabilization might work with your ring magnet arrangement, but again, this would then be a variation on the Levitron, and those things are pretty hard to adjust properly. When they are, they are pretty amazing for sure, but they can't really take any appreciable load like a real _electromagnetic, feedback-controlled_ levitating bearing system can.
It's my strong belief that your system as described would only produce "crashes" as the object you are trying to levitate slips out of its required position. The situation is kind of like trying to balance a marble on top of a bowling ball. There "may" be one exact point where you could balance the thing, but the very least slightest perturbation or vibration or off-center situation will make it "diverge" and crash. With magnets it's even harder -- in fact, as Earnshaw proved, impossible -- because of that "springiness" thing.

Yes, I saw that earlier. The problem is that the strength of attraction of a magnet falls off rapidly. So there's an equilibrium position of the rotor magnets that will not cause any rotation. You could probably rotate the rotor by hand with very little "cogging" but there's no reason that it should rotate on its own. Furthermore, the system will actually act as a brake, due to eddy currents that are generated in the stator as the fields of the rotor magnets are dragged through the stator material.
But build it and see for yourself! Perhaps some pulse-motor builder can take an already-built rotor and wrap a length of iron barstock around it for a stator. It should be very easy to see if there's any tendency to rotate, simply by doing rundown tests in both directions. If you can't build anything at all, for some reason, maybe you could hire someone to do it for you, or you could ask some specific individuals to make and test it.
My problem is sort of the opposite of yours. I _could_ build many things, and have done so. But much of my machine tooling is out of reach, and I can't spend even a few pennies on projects like yours. But it wouldn't be very hard to do, especially for someone with a lathe and milling machine and other basic machine shop tools.
And just for fun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPqEEZa2Gis
The following is just for your information . Your answers have cleared alot of confusion I have had.
( But since I will not be building anything, at any stage at all, your typing is wasted on too many of the lethargy-heads in this site with their heads stuck in conceptual dead-ends etc, by definition, I may be one as well )
QuoteSo there's an equilibrium position of the rotor magnets that will not cause any rotation.
The stator could have a 'very-fine permanent-adjustment extension piece' , to make it get as close as possible to the next magnet on the rotor incoming to the very end of the stator.
( Although, I have an alternative idea, which is something like a commutator( cog-wheel ) which is part of the stator and designed to break that equilibrium, even though it's movement would mirror that of the rotor )
QuoteFurthermore, the system will actually act as a brake, due to eddy currents that are generated in the stator as the fields of the rotor magnets are dragged through the stator material.
The stator could be the magnet ( and changing it to a wedge shape could improve it's performance ), and the magnets on the rotor could be replaced with pieces of metal.
QuotePeople have tried using magnets on one or the other or even both ends of the axle to attain this fixed position, but it has never worked because of the "springiness" of the magnetic attraction or repulsion. The rigid point-contact is the only way that has been discovered so far to make the suspension stable.
I was going to attach the diagrams I've made for a 'provisional patent application' for this magnetic-bearing, but I had better wait until I have actually sent it.
In my image of this, I have put 4 cylinder magnets around the central-spinning-magnet of the magnetic-bearing , to me, 'That Would Stabilize' the central-spinning-magnet sufficiently to then try putting different types of smaller-magnetic-bearings on the ends of the axle to prevent the central-spinning-magnet from slipping out of the magnetic bearing .
( One design for the smaller-magnetic-bearings on the ends of the axle, is a magnetic-dome or magnetic-ball on the end of the axle, and that magnetic-ball is repelled by either, '3 or 4' even smaller magnetic-balls or magnetic-domes, or, by 2 or 4 cylinder-magnets facing perpendicular to it )
Any time you have relative motion between a magnet and a conductive metal piece you will have eddy currents generated in the metal, and this will act as a brake. It doesn't really matter which is "rotor" and which is "stator". You can get around some of this eddy current brake phenomenon by using nonconductive magnetic materials like certain ferrites, or by laminating with thin, insulated laminations in the proper orientation.
It's too bad you are prevented from building anything. I don't know of any basic full-motion magnetic field simulators that you could use to "virtually" test your ideas, maybe someone else does. I understand your idea as described, but I'm still afraid it won't work, for the reasons I've already stated.
Just so you know that I'm not totally full of "hot air" ... here are some things that I was experimenting with some years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyPYBJfRVQ4

THE 'ROTATING-MAGNET' IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS 'MAGNETIC-BEARING' WOULD NOT JUMP OUT OF THIS 'MAGNETIC-BEARING' ALONG THE AXIS OF IT'S AXLE .
The 'rotating-magnet' in the middle of this magnetic-bearing( in the Diagram below ) is prevented from jumping out of the 'circle of magnets' along the axis of it's axle, by a 'repelling-magnet' right on the end if it's central-axle.
______________
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO THINK OF ANY REASON WHY THIS 'MAGNETIC-BEARING' MIGHT NOT WORK
The only way that I could think that this 'magnetic-bearing' could fail, would be if the 'rotating-magnet' in the middle of the bearing, would 'lean'( diagonally, or otherwise) to one side within the circle of magnets.
The reason that might happen is because physical objects are not 100% symmetrical ( and their field would not be 100% symmetrical ).
THE SOLUTION TO THE ABOVE HYPOTHETICAL PROBLEM
SO, I think that if more than one of these Magnetic-Bearings was placed along the 'Same-Axle' , then any 'imperfections' in the 'physical objects'( the magnets and their fields ) would be evened-out( balanced out , spread out ) among 'ALL' of the Magnetic-Bearings placed along the 'Same-Axle'.
It's possible, that the more 'Magnetic-Bearings placed along the 'Same-Axle', then the more effective that this solution would be.
( A solution to a hypothetical problem )
No, it will not work. Yes, without a point of contact for stabilization it will "jump out" and crash. The reason for this is contained in Earnshaw's theorem and has to do with the 1/r and 1/r2 relationships between force and distance between magnets.
You might be interested in studying this patent application:
http://www.google.com/patents/US20110001379 (http://www.google.com/patents/US20110001379)
Note that they use ring magnets to completely surround the shaft magnets, performing the same function as your outside rods but going continuously around, as if you had a large number of rods. Also note that their system _requires_ axial restraint, which, in the embodiment used in the famous "plinth" Orbos demonstrated years ago, used a single hardened ball on the top end of the axle that bore against the hardened platen of a micrometer adjustment screw which allowed precise control (and restraint) along the axial direction.
The first Diagram Below is the reason why 'The Rotating Magnet' will not jump out of the 'Magnetic Bearing', along the axis of the central axle .
The second Diagram Below, shows a version which would maximize stability if this is needed .
( This is me guest1289, this is my other account I have )
( Note : This design preventing 'The Rotating Magnet' from jumping out of the 'Magnetic Bearing' is just a simple example, an actual working example would possibly be more complicated, but still be based on the same principles in the diagrams below )
Yes, your description is perfectly clear... and it WILL NOT WORK. (It + might+ work if the axle is spinning fast enough, that is, spin-stabilized. But as soon as the spinning slows, it will crash.)
Unfortunately I can see that there is no possibility of convincing you of this. The only hope for you is to solve whatever problem is preventing you from performing your own experiments, so that you can do some bench work of your own, to see how magnets actually behave.
Do you really think that nobody has tried this before? Do you find some theoretical flaw in Earnshaw's Theorem? Don't you think that a company such as Steorn would have tried this and used it, if it could possibly work?
I have dozens of magnets here, I even have a full set of the superstrong, concentric ring magnets that Steorn used in their "zero-force" bearings that they used in the Plinth Orbos. And I've shown you already my working version of the Mendocino suspension... which requires that single point of _rigid contact_ which cannot be replaced with repelling magnets as in your idea. And many other people reading here also have plenty of magnets with which to build and test. But of course, when we fail to make something that works according to your idea, you can just say that we didn't do it exactly right somehow. The only way for you to really know is to DO IT YOURSELF, and build up a little real experience with magnets.
Or, perhaps you could _hire_ someone, pay them what their time and expertise is worth and have them build something to your _exact_ dimensioned specifications.
Let me ask you frankly: Just what would it take for you to be convinced that this idea does not and cannot work? What kind of experimental or theoretical evidence would you accept? Clearly you do not accept Earnshaw's Theorem, or the input which I have given you. Is it possible that _no_ data from _anyone_ could convince you that your idea won't work?
.
I wonder if either the 'stator-magnets' or the 'rotating-magnet' in this 'magnetic-bearing', were replaced with a replica made of Bizmuth( or other diamagnetic material ), what would be the result
OR
- If the 'stator-magnets' or the 'rotating-magnet' in 'Any Other' 'magnetic-bearing' , were replaced with a replica made of Bizmuth( or other diamagnetic material ) , could it make a difference to them
No real need to reply to this one, I would assume it's already been tried etc
.
In the diagram below, is my new design for the magnetic-bearing that I created this thread for.
( The problem with the diagram is that I would have preferred to make the spherical-magnets slightly smaller, and/or, perhaps with more space between each spherical-magnet. )
I have replaced the 'cylindrical-permanent-magnets( stators )' which keeps the 'central rotating-cylindrical-permanent-magnet' in place in this magnetic-bearing. with 'spherical-magnets' .
And, I should state the reason why I think that the previous-version of this magnetic-bearing( in the diagram below 'SIDE VIEW OF PREVIOUS VERSION.JPG' ) could function successfully, and that reason is the relative small-diameter of the of the 'cylindrical-permanent-magnets( stators )' when compared to the large-diameter of the 'central rotating-cylindrical-permanent-magnet', one reason why they have a small-diameter is so that they will not interfere with each others magnetic-fields . ( this is something I wan't to retain in my new version which uses 'spherical-magnets' ).
Don't bother replying saying this won't work, I'm just posting it anyway
