The bearing motor

Yeah, I understand that the wire can contact the disk anywhere on the outer perimeter to get the same results.

And now I understand that one disk has current running opposite of the other.

Mags

The current is running in the same direction relative to the magnetic field for both disks.  The current flows from the edge of the top disc to the center of the top disc, and then flows down the conductive axle where it then flows from the center of the bottom disc to the edge of the bottom disk.

Interesting , I wonder why he cut the spirals into the discs', where Tesla said to put raised ridges on the disk in a spiral pattern?
If he just motored one disc , could he collect off the other?
Thanks for linking that video ,got some ideas to try.

The logarithmic spiral is the shortest spiral with the maximum torque.  I provided a reference link a few posts back on the logarithmic spiral.

Yes, it's a big bite to swallow for someone who is so far off.
