This motor principle may explain why some people get OU from various devices like the Bidini motor and some people don't.
Maybe this is why some devices don't seem to be reproducible by others.
The ones that do work may be using these same principles without knowing what is different about there machine.
One uses aluminum for the shaft another uses steal. 
So the materials used for construction are more important then some would think.
Maybe someone with a bidini motor already built can try applying what we learn here to it.
Just some thoughts.

Both Boston and Philadelphia lost last night so at least things aren't any worse. Tonight's game is going to be broadcast on the big screen at a local movie theatre as part of a year long series of Leafs games and I've been planning to go all season, but I don't think I'm going to.  Toronto is jazzed to stick a fork in them, and I just can't watch that go down 30 feet high in optimal clarity and crispness if that's what results. Just can't.

SOOOOOO???
JustCan't or JustCan?
Did you go in the end?

In the end it was JustCouldn't.  Listened to it on the radio instead, and regretted that enormously by midway through the second. One more thing:

F#ck the Toronto Maple Leafs.

OK, back to being a lady. High hopes for tonight...will be a tougher go. We'll see.

Hi Thane,

All my ordered parts will be here soon, so I'd like to focus on building the best cores. I've seen your recent coil recommendations.

Can you give any recommendation on core size, length, face shape?

Is your laminations, grain oriented silicon steel or Home Depot steel pieces?

Do you have any opinion on why Vince's setup only worked with one long core, instead of the 8 short ones?

In the latest pictures, the gap between cores and magnet seems to be about 10 MM as opposed to the less then .5 MM in a regular motor or generator. Is this part of the requirement to get the motor to accelerate?

Thanks,
Larry

Thane, just got the rotor before I left, currently in an internet cafe (without the cafe) in Queenstown.

Anyway it seems 6 of the magnets escaped the packaging, ideally you could send me more, otherwise what size are they, the 1 inch seems right from memory but as I don't have it here I'm not sure.

When you ran this rotor you sent me with just the 6 magnets how many coils did you use to get the acceleration, just one?
If so some specs could be good, I wound a bunch but suspect all are too small.

And do you recall or have any record of the RPM needed to get the effect with this rotor? (3 times higher than in the videos due to 1/3rd the number of magnets?)

Thanks.
