Andy Gravity-Magnet Motor

[kadora]

Hi guys
A question to NerzhtDishmal

You claim , you have built working replica of
Andy motor -whiskey can type- and i would
like to know if the rotor of your replica really
did, say, 100 revolutions without any help.

thank you for your answer.

I did *not* claim such things....
What I wrote was :

Did you try the http://peswiki.com/index.php/OS:Andy_Gravity-Magnet_Motor
proposal experiment with an empty steel coffee can ?
I did it with a whiskey 'can' (I do not drink coffee )) and a bunch of few circular weak ceramic magnets.
It works.

you can read:

A lot of people now think I am real crazy but this does work.

As a simple demonstration take a roll of heavy powerfull ring magnets and wind a layer of tape around them so they dont chip. You now have a makeshift wheel.

Now take any large empty steel coffee can you have lying around and "stick" the roll of magnets near the top or 12 oclock position and let it loose. Notice it does not fall straight down as it is attracted to the sides of the can. But it
will roll like there is no stopping down the sides and to the bottom of the can
---and then some more ---because of gathered enertia. That roll ( wheel) of
magnets will do the same thing inside a 55 gallon drum if you think about scaling up.

SORRY NERZHDISHUAL
I thought you succesfully replicated
that motor and I intended to ask
you a few questions.

As treb79 said - it will not work for the exact reason given. it couldn't be expalined any simpler. Similar designs have been built in the past  - i don't see why the thing will decie to spin instead of just rest at equilibrium. I woulnt waste my time building it.
