Any one tried to use Adams idea to get over sticky spot?

Hi all,

Well as i promised, this is a crude video of me using shielding to move a torbay rotor. For the sceptics out there i understand that doing things with my hand is not ideal, but i have 4 one inch linear bearings on order from the states which i hope will prove beyond a resonable doubt that the idea is valid. Anyway, i hope this will create some interest, Enjoy!!!

Excellent Craigy

I was expecting to see a small amount of shield, but that is a pretty hefty lump.

Seems you only need to maybe shield 10 percent from the start of the arc of magnets, to get past the sticky point, that seems to be about the same on all my different wheels.
You get past that point and away she goes.

Do you find the shielding has a strong attraction to your moving magnet or does it get pulled more towards the arc of magnets?

Hi Clanzer,

Since i am using the torbay configuration or rotor and stator there are 4 stator magnets keeping the rotor locked, when we place the shielding between one of the rotors and stators as per video, the machine behaves as if the stator was lifted, i.e rotor moves aided by the repelling forces of the other 3 fixed stators.

The actual force on the shield is difficult to judge, ( when i get linear bearings i will be able to mesure it) but is a lot less than the energy required to push a stator down. the stator seems to attract the shielding more i think. As i said, need to fix the shields well to give an honest opinion.

Also shield does not need to completely cover the stator, as you say , affecting the field by 10 % is enough to get movement..

I am also leaning towards the Neutral line as discussed by The Gary Effect Magnetic Motor which the shielding can be a short cut too.
Which in theory if the shielding is set correctly between the stator and the rotor could free up the energy needed to remove it when needed.
If this neutral line exists then it will be a great help. Either that or I read the concept of The Gary Effect Magnetic Motor completley wrong LOL !!!

Hey guys
I have built both of wesley gary's machines and there is a neutral line, but it only appears when a flat piece of metal is placed between two magnets in repulsion. It relies completely on the distance between the magnets, strength of magnets and size of shield- get it all right and the shield is totally neutral. What few people realize is that in both machines wesley gary made he balanced the forces with springs. What happens when an attractive force is completely counterbalanced with spring forces? The magnet can be moved freely inward and outward with little energy--and it's a very,very hard to do trust me- because the attractive force is nonlinear.
