Steorn demo device

[Liberty]

I have not run my permanent magnet motor continuously since 2005 but on and off. 

Hi Liberty

I just checked your site, very nice.

Did you ever release more info on your design in these forums?, if so a pointer would be good as interested in having a look.
If not then fair enough as tis fair enough.

Regards

Sean.

Hi CLaNZeR,

I have not made a practice of releasing specific technical operational information on my device yet, except for some electrical data and general characteristics.  If or when I do, I will probably release the main information at my web page.  I was mainly answering Pinestone's question, since Pinestone asked a question about my device, I decided to release some general information about it on this forum in order to answer the question. 

I am also interested to see what Steorn will release about their device in the future, as are many others...  Maybe they have the best way?  I don't know.  I think most others must find it hard to compare with the claimed power of the Steorn device.  Sounds very impressive.
Still don't know a heck of a lot about the Steorn device for sure.

Thanks for your interest.  I will keep your request in mind.  I visited your web page and you have a very nice web page too.  Great pictures.

Hey Pinestone,

Glad you made it over here. lol

Worse comes to worse we can all meet up here if need be to discuss things..

Cheers

Hi E8

Good to have a backup!

Hey Pinestone.  What is that laminate that you use in the flux resonators? Is it a polarizer of some sort?  I wasn't sure if it was a trade secret or something you stumbled upon.  I have been using a CRT Monitor to view fields with and would be interested in the 3 dimensional possibilities of using one of your resonators as well.  There didn't seem to be any info on your site relating to how the glass demonstrates the field.  I'm fascinated by it though.  Anything you can tell me?

I'm not sure if they used a weight to start the process, or if they need angular momentum to keep it spinning in the same direction.
That's why I added it to mine.

The rotation becomes unstable when I try and pick up a heavy weight on a string, but it will wind up a small weight.

Plenty of room for refinement. I built mine out of a scraped vhs camcorder.
Aluminium against aluminum wastes a lot of energy. I need to put a set of low friction rollers in there and make the pendulum magnet solid. Duct tape is for Red Green. ha ha

is your pmm continuing to run since you built it?

@Pinestone,

I have not run my permanent magnet motor continuously since 2005 but on and off.  I took it apart because I am trying to move to a new location and to reuse some of the parts in the next model.  The next models have a low power electronic control circuit that I developed and tested that uses an infra-red light sensor for timing and much better motor precision.

I did run my original 'toy' for several hours per day for about a week and took some walk around movies of it running with a digital camera.  (The movie posted at the web site only shows that it rotates and is a poor video at best).  I use all neo magnets in the rotor and stator (and what appears to be a bit different approach than Steorn).  The permanent magnets provide rotational gain in this motor.  It was my version of a 'toy', but it turns at about 400 RPM @ about 1.44 watts input rather than cycle start and stop. 

My version uses a low power method instead of strictly a mechanical method. 
With more magnetic modules, I think it will improve the torque of the device (as opposed to my first toy), much better and stronger due to one stage driving the next.  I believe that using a low power method provides greater precision (resulting in greater efficiency) in the motor and much more control, and with the option of variable output capability.

Hope things go well for you on your version of the device.  Nice pictures.

I have updated my web page.  Just a note here for Pinestone and Clanzer.
