Magnet Motor that works

[JouleSeeker]

Sterling is keeping us apprised by his enthusiastic (not to say hyped) vids... Here's the latest I've seen, from earlier today:

Sterling claims that copper pennies will stick to the device... strange if true.

Note that the public display/testing begins tomorrow, 10 April, and goes through 14 April 2013.
IS ANYONE HERE GOING TO THE DEMO?

Hi,

It would be good to see it or have some more details on the friction between the device's wall and copper penny and also the angle of the device wall vs the vertical.  I say this because the device surely have strong rotating magnetic fields extending beyond the device's walls to the outside so normal eddy currents are easily induced in the copper pennies or other metal pieces near to the device.

Here is a demo on different non-ferromagnetic coins slipping down on the surface of permanent magnets:

Hi Truesearch,

Sorry for delay been pretty busy. Thanks for the patent, the Japanese magnet motor looks almost like Stefan Hartmann's PM^2 motor. I'll have to look at it some more.

Hi Gwandau,

The lens idea of magnets is really interesting thought.

There is a neat experiment I tried but haven't gone further with it. Make a 2" or 3" diameter ring with the Inner diameter just large enough to go over a pickup coil, the simplest construction method is with a metal wide mouth jar lid. Fasten about 10 or 12 magnets so all north are facing inwards aligned to the center. Take the coil and pass it quickly through the center of the lid while watching the scope. It will generate a pulse, but where is Lenz pushing it's empty(?) space 90 degrees to the magnets?

Hi Webby,

I've just seen your build of Franken Motor, that is a nice build, so that's what it's called a Franken Motor Magnet arrangement.

How did your motor come out? Do you think a linear design would work?

Could attach the ring to a scotch yoke with the coil stationary.

Hi DreamThinkBuild,

Your description recalls my recent youtube findings on such setups (if I did not misunderstand it), see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmJFPLBEysA  fortunately he shows scope shots albeit from sideways.  The waveform shown remembers me the one on the right hand side of this scopeshot from Naudin: http://jnaudin.free.fr/images/magconfig.gif
I wonder if you have found similar waveforms in your setup?

By the way, by searching youtube with words - low Lenz generator - you can find similarly arranged magnets in ring holders fixed onto big wheels and they claim low Lenz effect. Nevertheless, an interesting magnet-coil arrangement for sure.
