Wankel Magnet Motor

[acp]

Hi Honk,

I wasn't refering to the gap between the rotor and stator magnets, I meant the return path for the flux once its crossed the gap. The flux always creates a loop. it must return to the magnet it started from. In this spiral motor it doesn't appear to have a return path except through the air. I realise that Jacks motor has a different operating principle, I was merely pointing out that Jacks motor has a complete path for the flux in contrast to this spiral motor. I also agree that spiral motors by design have limited potntial for torque generation.

Regards

Hi.

You don't need a return path to run a motor.
The advantage of a return path is that it amplifies the force of the magnet.
But you can just as well use twice as thick and more expensive magnets to
get the same force with no return path. This is the case of the Wankel motor.
Adding cheap back iron to the magnets will also amplify the flux by two. This can be done easily.

You need to get rid of the Distributor and the battery. I did this in another post already.

Here goes, are you familiar with power overlap in combustion engines? On your experiment with the tape on the CD try adding two more magnets spaced equally apart (120 degrees) on the cd. This way 2 magnets will push the other magnet past the dead spot. You still won't get enough power to measure but will it run on it's own? Then try 5 layers on the same armature, now you have ten magnets pushing, you should find a little power being produced. You say all right wize guy try it, I'm going to just as soon as I find the magnets. To increase torque you will need to increase the diameter of the flywheel. The more powerful the magnets the more power. You are losing mechanical power at the distributor and inputting power to drive an electro-magnet, these may be power losses that are unnecessary. Something wrong with looking for something for nothing?

You can also see it like this. Imagine a 2" x 1" neo magnet. That's not demagnetizing by itself.
Then break it into two 1" x 1" pieces. Now try to glue them back together like it was before.
Well no you can't because the two pieces are repelling each other like hell.

This is not so. If you break a magnet in that fashion, the two poieces
will not need sticking together. They will attract
