Super simple way to see proof Pseudo Solid principle works using ring magnets

[gammarayburst]

BR, I will study your design tonight. Very interesting.
I have also attached for everyone a proof of principal design.
Notice that one magnet at a time is transferred through the hinge area in one phase of the design.
The hinge area is there to eliminate most all flux transfer from upper bar to lower bar during the attraction phrase.
It becomes saturated due to the very large magnetic fields of the magnets because it's cross section is very small.
Thanks, Butch LaFonte
Note: Floor, you still with us?

The hinge bearings do not go all the way across, they are flush with the bars.
Sorry, Butch

BR, step 4 is very interesting in that is has a slight flaw but with a little change could open up something big.
Let me look and make sure before I speak.

@GammaRayBurst

Yes I'm still around just busy these days. 
I need to study your most recent stuff more.

@dieter

Salutations, yes I did the Pseudo Solid explained docs. with GammaRaybursts Guidence.

@Profitis

Yes, measurements, measurements, measurements.

@Floor, thanks again for the pdf, without it I wouldn't have ever understood  ...


@Butch, let me know what you think is the flaw in step 4. I don't see it there.
To further explain my idea for an implementation:


Step 2: Rotor is neutral and therefor attracted.


Step 3: Rotating magnet passed onto Rotor mass, both, rotor and stator have same polarity now, repelling eachother.


Step 4: Magnet carrying Rotor approaches towards (rather) neutral end of stator, therefor attracts it.


Step 5: now neutral Rotor must continue rotating, but is attracted by now magnet containing end of stator. This is where we lose a bit of energy. The whole process is kind of 3 steps forward, one step back.


I think it would be useful to add a second stator with a rotating magnet at the opposite side of the rotor, that will give a net gain torque during step 5 of the right stator.


I kept on trying to find a flaw in the net gain calculation, but was unsble to do so... Well, however, it is a mechanical challenge to keep the losses low enough, mainly in the rotation of the magnet and/or the synchronization of said rotation with the rotor. Gears would be straight forward, but would introduce high friction losses.


I came to the conclusion that it's best to have only one rotating magnet on the stator and rotate it 4x the speed of the rotor.


The design is made with easy practical implementation in mind. I'd suggest 3-4 mm soft steel, rotor 20cm diameter, stator 10cm diameter. Magnet contactless between the steel plates, gaps 0.1 to 0.5mm. Magnet fixed to rotating Arm of the stator shaft (actually the stator isn't really static: it contains that rotating magnet with arm and shaft, and probably motor or gear. Only the steel "donut" is static.)
A simple test device for step 2+3 may be a first approach that makes sense.


BR (Best Regards)
