Just a thought but what if the ferrite only filled half the core

So I have built a small test rig in hopes to learn what is happening. Rotor is 4" dia. with four 1/2" x 1/8" neos. I am using coils out of 12 volt automotive relays, 85 ohms 21mH as air core. As far as the coil cores are made from magnetite and epoxy. It spins up to almost 2000 rpm and the needle on the amp gauge (0-5amps) doesn't even move, this is good. I am now trying different things to get it to speed up under load ( twisted wire ends together). The bias magnets seem to have no effect noticed. Any way here are a few pics and hope to post some good results. Peace

I don't know, every time I think of how Romero's device achieved what we were shown I keep coming back to one thing.
Is it possible the one trick he is not telling is that the rotor magnets are actually ferrite covered with a layer of aluminum foil just so they look like magnets.
This would explain the washers on the coils to create a local field return until the ferrite filled the gap between the coils.
Lenz law would push back only into the stationary magnets and increased load would further reduce rotor drag.

Everything seems to work with ferrite slugs in the rotor instead of magnets.
Maybe that's just conventional thinking. 

The ferrite slugs will produce power in the gen coil? I know it works good as a motor.

Yes, I don't think ferrite would work, but I wonder if ceramic magnets would create less drag, yet powerful enough to produce power in the generator coils?

No, but the magnets on the back of the coils will generate when the ferrite in the rotor completes the core through both coils!
Because you are only moving a core segment in the rotor, Lenz will decrease the field reaching the rotor under heavy load and the rotor will spin easier. That could also be why the motor part works in attraction, it could not work any other way.
It's just a concept but there is something else going on we just don't get.
