All Permanent Magnet Motor

[magnetman12003]

Ok so something like in the picture below?
Just wondering... Is the upper ring magnet really needed? Have you tried it without it?

BTW, we actually still haven't seen the motor operational Will you make some video?


And somebody please stop the troll synchro1 ;/ No moderators here?
The two rod magnet grouping inside the polycarbonate tube is way to long. Should be 1/2 the size shown
Also flip the entire photo to show a mirror image of it. Now that will travel clockwise instead of counterclockwise as shown.

@Airstriker,


The block magnet is 1 3/4" and the two tubes 2 3/4 for a total of 5 1/4. Now 2 block magnet lengths is nearly 4 inches. Your schematic is distorted by twice the dimension. What have you been smoking?

Sure will do in a sec but you have written:
"Rod magnets are 3/8 inch in diameter and  2 3/4 long each.  Need 2 for one 45 degree angle.
Block magnets are 3/8 thick, 1 3/4 long and 3/4 widh."
So I would say the proportions actually do match in the picture. So which size is wrong? Rod magnet = 2 3/4, or block magnet = 1 3/4 ? Or did you mean 2 x 3/4 for the rod magnets? Sorry if I get something wrong but I'm not used to operating on inches

The polycarbonate tubes are 6 inches in length.  Two rod magnets (2 3/4 inches) long fit inside each with some extra space On each end.  Don't worry about the size of the block magnets I described  it's the polarity that's of interest
In this case. As long as the rod magnets SOUTH Pole faces downward ( in my case) and looks at the NORTH Pole of the large ceramic ring magnet all is good.

Just to help clarify what Tom's referring to:
