PMM Idea

[nightwynd]

I remember seeing on this forum somewhere a PMM that was (almost) working - they had to use an external input to get it past cog. I think it was called the asditt spiral or something along those lines... basically there was 2 magnetic ramps that closed into a central circle where PM's were attached to the central rotating arm. The armature would rotate smoothly down the ramps, but then it would hit the end and cog - the creator then used an external electromagnet to kick it over.... I had a brainstorm about this device last night, and I can't get it out of my head... If anyone knows the name of this device, please let me know and I'll post into the appropriate thread, or start over here

Thanks!!
Jason.

Hi nightwynd!

Are you thinking about the Sprain motor?
Two rotor magnets attracting to a spiral stator armature and finally an electromagnet kick the rotor through the magnetic lock point.

It already has a thread on this forum, on the bottom of the second page of the Magnet Motors topic.

That'd be the one....thanks!
Anyone know if they have released their new info yet? Seems that they asked to have all of their stuff removed from the 'net until they got the new machine released....I'd really like to watch the video again...
