Magnet motor idea hopefully solved

[Low-Q]

Just bought 6 lots (60pcs) of small ball bearings. Stainless steel. High rating at Aliexpress, so I guess they're good - and hopefully not ferromagnetic.
I'm afrais the plastic pulleys will grind themself into the bolts and lock up totally.
I also got a confirmation that the statormagnets has arrived the local postal office :-)

Ahh...statormagnets have arrived. 40pcs 100x10x5mm and 20 100x20x5mm ferrite magnets. Actually quite powerful.
Now, the build of an arch used as template to arrange the magnets to a cylindrical statormagnet.

Testing the chain. Much friction between the plastic pulleys an the 5mm bolts I'm using as axles.
Looking forward to receive the ball bearings.

I marked the magnet-chain in red and blue. Then stumbling throug an explanation in english.
This video just shows how the chain winds backwards as the rotor goes forward.

Very cool build, it looks like a piece of kinetic art. Hopefully you meet success.
