Magnetically Imbalanced Wheel

[Hope]

This is an update on the build.  The disk is finished, so I will post a photo or two.  Still have the stand and outer magnets to build.

This is just a prototype and will be used for R&D.  It is not meant to have a long run time.  Just long enough to develop the principle.  There already are changes coming that allows the weight shift to be toggled to an inside rail. 


Decided on open source after a message from Gadgetmall.

That's looking encouraging!


What size, type and strength of magnets did you decide to use on your brass "stems"?

Truesearch,


I will list what parts and materials were used after this device is further tested.  I do NOT want anyone using their resources until the unit has sustained a run time.  There needs to be other parts built this week to hold the magnets that cause the repulsion of the disks magnets (The A and B Side units).  I will speculate that the size of the magnets do not matter as long as the weight shift can over come the center bearings friction.  The transfer of the weights mass will be accomplished by landing each flex rod on a rail most inward for the 6:30 to 11:30 (A Side)  and on the B Side an outer rail.


What IS important is that builders understand the principle the device is using.


Still working on it,

I respect your opinion and appreciate your efforts to save others disappointment.


Looking forward to see what comes of your design
