@i_ron,

A few questions to compare performance:

1 What are you using to control the speed?

2 What size are your magnets? I got better results with 1/8 cupped neos, then with 1/4 neos on back a cup.

3 What is the weight of your new rotor?

Thanks,
Larry

@i_ron:
4. What's the new rotor made of???

Glad you got positive results, but it is odd that you need such speeds.

Aether,

If you look back at Thanes chart you will see that he was running at 3400 RPM.

NICE WORK THERE ROCK'IN RONNY HACKJOB!

AT ANY RATE I SUGGEST "SMALLISH" MICROWAVE TRANSFORMERS FOR ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO TRY THIS AT HOME.

Glad you like it Pal,

I feel I am in hysteresis mode now, but one step at a time I guess?

What is the gauge of the wire in that single coil, the one possibly for Aether? is that meter set on ohms?

I had seen the Red Green vid, pretty cool, I can identify with that....

Hi sir I-Ron
You don't know me  but I heard a lot about you! Good quality replications!
I also made a thiny some time ago. See it here:

You see it accelerate to double rpm while doing a real 50watt load.
No additional (above idle) power is being fed to the motor during the vid.
What ya think?

Hi Larry

1) Variac (variable transformer)

2) I am using the Lee Valley 1/8th by 1" neo's, and stacked two high (12 magnets for a six station
wheel)  The cup is home made and is 1 1/8th bore and 3/16th deep...(ha ha, those ottawa moguls
though they could legislate us into metric...) with a plastic bush around the two magnets.

3) It is made as a steel fabrication, machined all over and "sort of" balanced, it weighs 2050 Kg's
