Paul:

You're awesome! (awesomely simple!).
I'm going to build your floating/spinning ball.
Keep up the good work!

Ok the diagram you have here is very close, just loose the ball in the middle, and remember there is only
one ball, also the link to the guy who has the pipe that spins like a cage, that was one of my earlier ideas
but I failed at it, I hope he really did pull it off.

Hey man, thanks for everything.

I was wondering, how long have you let this 'motor' run for?

OK then, it's a hollow metal ball, no inner secondary ball bearing needed. They sell, old metal world-globes on eBay. A small 4" or so would probably be a good place to start.

Thanks, Pcockreil, for the reply and clarification. I must say though that your way of expressing yourself seems a little cryptic....at least for me.

Any type of metal that is attracted to a magnet, Get That Ball ! it must be hollow. I have sent my motor out of the Usa but I will explain it. The wieght must be Just right. compared to how strong the magnet is.
you can measure the strength by a plastic scale, just place metal under the plastic scale, or just by trial and error. dont get a 1/4 magnet and expect to spin a 10 pound ball that wont float. if you watch videos on youtube on lens law you will find that a magnet travels slow down a hill on copper. this is the only material I can get to work, you may find others but I used copper. I tried lead and all sorts, then discovered lens law, so its worth looking at. the copper thickness plays a big part as well. its a perfect balance between the thickness of the copper and the wieght of the ball float and force of the magnetic
attraction. look I have posted more easier Ideas for the ones intrested. also I will post the type of magnet
the weight and thickness in the future. but I had to post it to let everyone see the path I took to get to this point, thats why I posted the magnet wood frame motor as well, so people could build it and get a better understanding of magnets wieght and thickness all my studys are not in school dorms,
I sit around and practice backyard science (every single day). so im just a person with a drive. I have helped major companys save millions of dollars and never got credit, the managers took the credit.I Had to get my but back to work, Hope this helps I will stop by again in a about a week. Im almost completed with the element rods seen on google, that guy drives me up a wall, but I think I got it I got a bulb to light up for about 20 sec and the bulb blew.  well glad to see thier are others like me see ya.

cryptic is having something to hide or ambiguous meaning  ( then why am I going Public)
Hmm I have to face critics as well...lol
