JB Zero Force Motor - anyone building?

[Lidmotor]

Stefan suggested that I take a look at Ben's (K4EZP) pulse motor called the "Thomas Motor".  I vaguely remember it but I am going to build one up today and look at it.  He uses a  ferrite toroid cored coil with a permanent magnet inside the toroid.  Ben did a series of videos on it but this is the one that shows how it works:

  As I read more it seems that TK you played around a lot with this ORBO type motor.  I guess this is another ancient history item that is just new to me.

I know most of you from quite a ways back so I thought that I would stop by and add what I have done on this project.  I try not to take this stuff too seriously.  Life is too short.  Milehigh ----Hewey. Dewey. and Lewey say hi.  All of them are still around.  Patrick---the only reason I deleted your comment was because you have your YouTube reply button turned off and I didn't agree with what you said.  I sent you a PM explaining why.  Tinman ---many thanks for that old magazine link.  I grew up on Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines.  We had a book shelf full of them.  You are right that we should probably put this project to rest shortly and move on.  JimBoot----always a pleasure to see what you are up to.  TK----I did some research on that 'Slab Motor' and got totally lost. 
   I adjusted the timing on my motor to where it runs much better now.  Here is where I ended up:

Lid:

So great to see you over here.  I hope all is well over there.  I agree about the youtube comments being messed up.  Folks have posted on my vids and...no reply button.  I have even answered some folks and they pm me and tell me there was no reply button on my reply to them.  Who knows what is going on over there.

I still follow all of your work and look forward to seeing more of it.

Take care,

Bill

Hi Bill,
  When YouTube went to the Google Plus it just made life more difficult.  Some people got so frustrated with it they just faded away.  Speaking of that has anyone heard how Jeanna is doing?  I know that she went out in the wilderness a few years ago and built a small place.  Her channel is still up at YouTube but not much activity.

My pulse motor consumes 60mw at 6000RPM. Pretty good for me

Well, if you are going to take away a nugget from my postings in this thread it's to try to develop some kind of framework for what you are talking about.  Your power consumption figure is meaningless without fleshing it out, creating a metric, something.  And it goes full circle.  That's why you have people trying to solicit money for fake free energy propositions not providing any hard or credible data.  They see what the discussion is like on the forums and they figure that they can get away with it and people will believe them.  Look at the case of GDS Technologies.  The guy puts out a statement that you can't get energy from water, and also puts out a statement that the alleged generator needs one liter of water every four hours of run time, but he doesn't explain why.

Lidmotor:

The first time I saw Silent Running I couldn't take my eyes off of the TV.  Then I had to go to my summer job and I missed the ending.  It was so hard to break away from it.  I read about it and it was shot on a decommissioned US aircraft carrier.  It was also ahead of its time for special effects.  You actually felt a loss when one of the robots gets swept off of the ship.

It's fun sometimes to make "naughty" Google searches and read the links.

Examples:

I hate Google Plus
The death of Google Plus
Demise of Second Life

And the king of them all:  I hate the Flash Player
