Hi All,

This is another build I will be working next.

Hi Tom,


Very interesting design.  i have spent many hours working with magnets and magnet motor ideas.  I have great hopes for what you have designed.  I do want to caution you to not forget that the repelling force works both ways.  As the magnet on the rotor approaches the magnet on the slide the magnet on the slide is also repelling the magnet on the rotor.  This will have a tendency to want to slow the rotor some.  With a flywheel like you described that may be enough to over come the repelling force of the slide magnet against the rotor magnet.  As you said you may need to adjust the size of the rotor in order to get the proper leverage of magnet against magnet to get it to work.  Great design!  I can't wait to see it tested out.  My son just got a new 3D printer so if it looks hopeful I may draw up some parts and give this a try myself.


Take care,
Carroll

Hi Carroll,

Thanks and happy new year. I got a new phone number and if you like I'll sent it to you.

I'm thinking of 3d printing the cone design we talked about.

Sure! You can send me your new number.  Just send me a text and say it is you.  Or if you don't have my number just send me a PM from this forum.  I think a 3D print of the cone idea might work if it is big enough.  I think too small and we won't see the effect we are looking for.  My son just got a new 3D printer also.  I'll check with him and see how large a print he can make.


And a Happy New Year to you also.  Good to see you back at work on your projects.


Take care,
Carroll

Hello TR, hello Citfta,

Nice design, however, related to the mechanical movement of the two gear linear pistons, and in order to have only one directional movement, both pistons can not move in the same direction, or they will lock rotor in place.
If you want a CW rotor movement, the further away linear gear must move to the right (of screen) while the other one (closer to us), should move to the left of screen.
So, I see that you have a cross member between both pistons on both ends, making them to move at unisom...it will not work that way.
You will have to make each piston to move independently from the other.
Now, related to the magnetic pathway, both sets can not work at the same timing either, knowing by your description that both work in repulse mode and at 180º apart. They should be angle-offset, so when one side is repulsing, the other side is either at idle (doing no effect) or attracting in favour of rotation.

Anyways this was just my opinion about your design.
However, the main idea is great, it just need to be adjusted and developed further.
If you could add animation to your 3D CAD design, you may notice what I am talking about.
