The " Gary effect " and the Wesley Gary motor.

[Grumage]

Hello everyone.

Here's the video I promised earlier, constructive comments welcomed.

Oops, I forgot to mention in the video that the magnets are in " attraction " mode.   

Cheers Graham.

Smudge quote to Grum

Grum,

A significantly large part of the magnetization in Fe (and presumably also your steel) comes from the conduction electrons which are mobile.  So as the Gary effect motor oscillates, these electrons move shifting the magnetization about.  Think of them as tiny bar magnets that can move inside the steel.  It is possible that the finite delay time associated with that movement is what allows the thing to sustain oscillations.

and Smudge did add this part

So when you have something "working"  (i.e. showing damped oscillation) you could try making the fixed bars into delay lines by winding a series of coils along their lengths then having capacitors at each coil junction connected to  a common "earth".  See if it performs differently.
