Title: is it possible to mimic a homopolar motor with permanentmagnets?
Post by: Low-Q on March 30, 2009, 06:02:23 PM
The homopolar motor works because there is a circular magnetic field crossing the flux in the magnet. Is it possible to mimic this circular magnetic field with permanentmagnets?

I'll let the idea be up to you guys to discuss. I will ofcourse attend the discussion, and test ideas as they come up :)

to specify, using a circular magnetic field of a permanent magnet to induce cross flux and rotation on a different permanent magnet?

hmmm it would be quite different from mr faradays first homopolar generator, not at all a bad thing


unless maybe your referring to the actual "homopolar" aspect, meaning a current or induced output of only one pole (conventional homopolar) and attempting to achieve this not using a conductor as a rotor but another perpendicular magnetic field to create the motion


have to think of this a bit

you have a few gears turning in my head, we'l see how it plays out

i see youve given it some thought and im curious as to what you have come up with


until next time

I had this same thought a few days ago.  I would like to know the answer to this also.  Even if the idea doesn't work, it is creative thinking......and we need creative ideas if we are to achieve OU.

Above is a video I made of a homopolar motor.  somewhere on the earth battery topic, Localjoe came up with a diagram on how to tap high voltage off of this device by using a simple coil around the rotating shaft.  It will take a while but I will try to dig it up.  He said something about it taking advantage of the already rotating magnetic field so I think this might be related.

Here I have made a try with four of my neos fasten in a clamp and a ferrite ringmagnet.
I can assure you that I feel a great force to the left, but I cannot say if there is a tangential force that will spin the ferrite. I need some bearings to test this out. And I do not fully understand how the ringmagnet "want to" enter the repulsive force at the right as it is suppose to spin clockwise - whether the circular magnetic field is made by a wire or with permanentmagnets.

Take a look at the pictures below, and I have photoshopped in some colors to determind the polarity. Maybe you can imagine what is happening. Maybe what's happening if I had a similar but opposite neo-configuration in the top too - forcing that upper part of the ringmagnet to the right (when the bottom is forced to the left.

That sounds good in theory.  Glad to see someone doing experiments.

Maybe i should make those neos radially configured? I'll make a try, so here is a picture of the new setup. With this setup I could not feel anything obvious.

Another test. Now I have taken a few more magnets and arranged them as in the picture below. This made the most promising force this far.

Attached is also my "workshop". As you can see, one of my main hobbies is airborne ;D

Last night I was looking at magnetic field setups. I simulated something like your second setup. Which gave a nice circular magnet field as if it was the field of a current carrying wire. This is very interesting to say the least, because this can be tricked to act like a piece of wire that is not part of a closed loop circuit. So your second experiment should be investigated more. But you have to think carefully when doing these experiments. The length should either be completely  be between the inner and outer diameter of the ring magnet. Or the complete setup should be outside of the ring magnet. If it's partially between ID/OD AND outside the forces would cancel out and little would happen.

Of course one should perform many controlled experiments to check these setups out. This is why I believe you are not the correct person for doing this low-q. Your skepticism will block your creativity.

The interesting part of the below simulation is that you need about 5 000 000 Amperes to get the same circular field strength that two 1 Tesla strong magnets give you.

"Your skepticism will block your creativity"? That is just BS broli. I am rational, but also open minded.

Well that aside. How are the magnets in the second picture aligned? Are the blue parts north pointing towards me and the reds south pointing towards me? I ask because if I use two magnets side by side where one have north pointing UP and the other have south pointing UP, I do not get the same magnetic field as in your simulation, but more like a four-leaf clover shape magnetic field.

Yay low-q is back.

I don't exactly know what you mean by north facing you but the orientation should be obvious from the simulation.

Edit: Low-q I attached the method I knew to form the 4 leaf clover you speak of, but this is done by two repelling magnets not attracting. Also keep in mind that the circular field only arises at certain distance and not close up.

That is very real. It started with that "holy grail magnetic shielding". Yesterday I experimented with the dead battery shielding as well and noticed that alkaline batteries are heavily attracted to magnets. But in that video he says he's not using any batteries. But he should articulate better, he sounds like he's mumbling. I'm very interesting in this as you probably know with my magnetic gate thread that I have. The most important part is the shielding.

Pirate I don't understand why you mention monopole. Monopole in what sense exactly?

I ave on in my hand (found today)
i loked in google:
Invented 1927 by Siemens and Schuckert Werke -SSW-

it is an 220V (up to 20Am) DC ! Line power counter.

DC as line voltage was used in Germany up to 1960
(in some cities , additional to AC line supply.)
So that part ist also (ac AC Counter) using an
Alumium DISK . I will not open my device amd can not
understand that it can produce EDDY-Currents ?

click-up the pictueres that show also the inner construction.

This device will turn an counter !
So than: That is an MOTOR !

I was just quoting what he said in his video. (Or in the written section, I don't recall which)  I assumed he meant monopole as in one pole only, which is usually what is meant so, with a magnet that would mean a single pole being north or south but not both.  I am not sure what HE meant but, if he is claiming a breakthrough, that would be it.

Sure you haven't forgot to switch off the wire with the circular magnetic field? Because that is how it will look if you let current flow through your magnet setup. My simulation, showing the four-leaf clover, was done by arranging the magnets exactly as you did - not with repelling magnets (Even if you get the same visual result with that). There is no reason why the magnetic field isn't going from blue to red horizontally as it does vertically. I think you have missed something, or forgot something.
Try again with a brand new simulation with ONLY magnets, and be amazed how easy it is to forget details when you simulate different setups in the same simulation project ;)

My guess:

This shielded magnet have a very weak north pole. The rest, the south-pole, is spread so much elswhere its flux density is so extremely weak that it will hardly be detected by the instrument he's using. Look how close to the north pole he must get to detect the result - he's not getting a result sometimes even there. So where is the magic?

Looks like your ignorant self is back too denying every single step I do. How can you not f-ing agree on what the simulation is showing you ignorant person. I used solely magnets in that simulation and if you used 1/100 of your brain the field will make sense too. How they hell do you expect to make any progress with this beyond belief ignorance. Makes kind of my blood boil.

This is why I'm starting to hate you big time Vidar. You throw logical thinking out of the window and replace it with disinfo to sabotage others from making progress. Do you sometimes even think of the crap you spread and the damage that it makes.

If the field is orientated up that's how the ELECTRONS ARE ORIENTATED. Unless you change their orientation the field will always come out from the same spot. You cannot assume that a vertical field is the same as a horizontal field! I truely expected more from you Vidar you are a big disappointment.

Yes, broli. That is really grown-up. Go on and hate everyone who question your results and theories, and the world will become a better place. Come on! Get over yourself, and try to look for your own faults. Look at the simulation below. What do you see? I cant see how the sum will make a circular magnetic field. Do you?

You can still hate me, even more than big time - it's all OK, but that will not change the magnetic field. I just asked you to check your results and your simulation setup once more. And you hate me for it. That is really the way to make progress!!! ;D

What is that yellow "doughnut" doing?

That ball of thread and the coil under looks like it works like a squirrel cage induction motor which rise RPMs as the AC-current flow increase, but with several vindings instead of the solid core single winding you'll find in normal squirrel cage induction motors.

Give ATTENTION !
THIS IS FOR DC use !!!
NOT AC Power-Line counter!!

I let you know
because the ASK was : It is possibel to do this with permanent Magnets.

DC powered coil are elctromagnets for same use in same application  as permagnets

------------
I cant say nothing over the work of this Motor.

I will open my originalle closed Counter from 1930 nxt da and see inside,
It is the SSW 220DCVolt 20Amp type from Siemens$Schuckert

Think about, no brushes , no contacts inside.
It will work  with low voltagages and 0 to 20 Amperes.

No brushes, no contacts and DC power. That's something I would like to see  :o.

http://normalzeit.info/messtechnik/zaehler/gs3.jpg

My deduction of this screen shot; It seems to be a regular dc motor where the permanent magnet is replaced by a coil like you said. To the right I also see what seems to be a brush system? If that's the case then it's nothing out of the ordinary right?
Title: Re: is it possible to mimic a homopolar motor with permanentmagnets?
Post by: pese on April 07, 2009, 07:13:15 PM
with an dc motor you can never construcht an accurate line-power-COUNTER.
that mus work within better 1% recise linearity.
this counter must count 4 watts as even 4400 watts linear.

this can not do with an cd motor.

thin about, that te voltage difference over an SHUNT-Resistor will also
have an difference  fo, 1 to 1000  !

An no voltage mus lost from the 220Volts DC !!


I think it will work with lowest voltage with higher amps.

so as an N-Generator work

this system. I take pics for you
