Interesting, I also wondered about the complete process of getting the MOT ready. What's keeping the coils from sliding off the E, so you could cut safely?

I'm not sure what is stopping them, but it is stopping them. (Tried to use a screw driver to pry the primary off but it would seemingly take more force than I am happy using)

If they don't, you can use a hacksaw for the final cuts.

Good idea, ever since I saw the episode of the Simpsons where homer changed his name to Max Power I and my family have jokingly used it as a name for me. I honestly hadn't thought of using the hacksaw

Also, on your rotor you may be able to get the cups more even by varying there depth according to the wobble position.

Tune it by putting washers in the cups you mean?
Problem is that will tend to unbalance the wheel badly giving it bad speed wobbles, although I suppose I could add a washer to the outside of the opposing cup.

Can you post any pictures of your rotor/motor?

I don't have a digital camera, I do however have a webcam, I can install it onto the laptop and use it to capture video and stills.
However I plan on waiting until I have the microwave experiment runnig, at which point the video will hopefully be of a successful replication.

On these MOT's it seem they will require cupped rectangular magnets with MOT's at rotor angle to take full advantage.
Larry

Please clarify 'rotor angle'.
As for shape I agree only Thane continued to use the same 1 inch round ones so there is no need to switch.

@All,

Just wanted to add to test data: Using the rotor without the motor running, I tested a cupped 1/8" neo against a non-cupped 1/8" neo and observed the following: The cupped 1/8" neo had approximately 50% increase in attraction to the core as opposed to a non-cupped 1/8" neo?


@aether22,

It seems the post modify availability is now associated with the time elasped since posting and not the number of post after your post.

@aether22

Yes, but use lightweight plastic washers or wood shims and balance as needed.

Rotor angle, same as Thane's recent Mega MOT stator monster which matches his 6 spoke rotor angle. That may be why he's too busy right now to answer many questions.

Larry

Ah, yes naturally, the stators should be 60 degrees apart so that when one is faced with a north the other has a south.

Ah, but I guess you mean also the angle they are on, following the curve of the rotor.
Personally I will not bother since Thane didn't initially.

DEAR A22,

HERE IS A COIL THAT I RIGGED UP FOR YOU AND TESTED THIS MORNING.
I CAN SENT IT TO YOU (1 WEEK - 10 DAYS) OR YOU CAN MAKE ONE JUST AS EASILY THAT IS GUARANTEED TO GIVE YOU ACCELERATION.
