Magnet Motor that works

[MileHigh]

This clip is just a cliche:  Guy that doesn't understand the notion of magnet position with respect to magnetic potential energy mistakenly interprets his magnet configuration as a source of free energy.

In the clip the rotor is simply "falling" into a gravitational potential energy well created by all of the stator magnets.   It's just a glorified version of holding a magnet in each hand that are in attraction.  As you bring your hands together the magnets click together and "fall" into their mutual gravitational potential energy well.

Many people do not have an innate or instinctive understanding of what's going on with respect to a magnet's  magnetic potential energy as a function of the magnet's position relative to another magnet or magnets and so you get clips like this.

Hi Luc
Haven't seen one like that before, will be interesting to see how it develops,  admire his work, not an easy build to replicate, maybe someone can use a simulation program to test the design

Luc
Yes  when he states""There you go six full turns""
-----------
He breaks the "gate" Every time {6?}throughout the run,he is also using "sphere Magnets".
and the Post placement in the sphere would seem critical? 


Sphere magnets have been attached to several claims here that were removed suddenly by posters,and spirals have been the focus of many attempts [Roberto 33?]


This one using both together!!
Sweet.........






I also like his DNA "spiral" reference.
Thanks for sharing this here!

Hi Luc,

Thanks for the link. The spinning effect is interesting. I wonder if he could make a cone that has magnets spiraling around the diameter and position the outside magnets so they create that shearing effect without the translation(?).

From experimenting I'm seeing if the magnet is static the path has to be dynamic. If we look at a flipping magnet in slow motion there is a twisting path it takes through space to align with the opposite pole. I'm looking into if that dynamic path can be mapped into a structure that the static(rotor) observer follows.

Here(pic) was a recent build of a (non-functioning) spiral track with a helicoidal descent. I tried to lower the gate below but realized that it should be expanding outwards not inwards(doh, build and learn). Also if the magnets rotated about it's central axis while keeping axially aligned to the center of the spiral it might be possible to create that twisting motion.

Regarding the video in the first posting:

As the rotor sticks at the last stator magnets, this design will not work for a perpetual magnet motor... You have to overcome the sticky point, which is not done here...

So I don´t see, how he ever will get this motor to work.

If you will build it up in a circle so the stator track will close itsself, then the forces will be gone...

The only solution might be to use coild wound onto the stator magnets and collect the energy from there and
put it to use to overcome the sticky spot at the end...
