All Permanent Magnet Motor

why doesn't it rotate What am I doing wrong?

I just completed a replication of your device that I believe covers all your specs pretty closely.

Please comment on what you believe is wrong with the replication.
PS have not tried any added weights to the rods.

1. Magnetma12003 wrote that the rods should touch the 45° magnets. Therefore he added the weights.
2. And there are the plastic tumblers which allow to adjust the angle of the rods. May be 45° is not the ideal angle, it could be 40° or 50°.

Of course, I do not know whether that helps or not. And my opinion about permanent magnet motors is better not said aloud in this forum. But I am interested in the ways people try to do the impossible. Impossible things are much more interesting than known things. Everybody can learn what is known, but trying the impossible needs determination beyond the usual.

The absence of a soundtrack in magnetman12003's video may conceal the sound of a hairdryer running at high speed out of view.

the concept of this can only be obtained from our reality. In a dream, for example ...

It is important to know what is possible and what is not. But what really requires smartness is to go beyond that.

When there is overunity and it is not greater than friction, then in that setup it is difficult to find out. Measure forces when moving, in one direction and in the other direction, see whether there is any difference. In case of perfect symmetry these forces should be exactly equal. If this difference is even great enough to be measurable.
