Magnet motor by pcockriel

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
here is enclosed a video in Flash format
( you need to use www.videolan.org orMediaplayer classic to view it)

from user :
pcockriel.

He just disclosed, how it works:

He has a baker with water and an probably holow iron ball
swimming in it and underneath he has a permanent magnet.
Now he puts a copper plate half to the center underneath the baker
and the ironball begins to spin inside the water.

It seems to be a very simple permanent magnet motor, which is finally
working !

Please try it yourself !
Many thanks.

Here are his youtube videos with more explanations:

I was wondering if its a thin shelled iron sphere, or a conducting sphere, with a iron ball inside?  In his explanations he shows a iron ball inside a plastic sphere which makes it roll.  I think it should work, but you would need the perfect balance.  The floatation of it has to pull its weight up perfectly and not too much.  It also seems like theres a surface tension effect, as when the ball is rolling inside the beaker, it rubs against the botton and the backside of the glass, which seems to be critical for rotational movement.

One question, where do I get a iron sphere like that?

I also like the speaker idea, as it can produce frequency and a moving magnetic field pulse.

This is extremely interesting.

Paul, has what seems to be a hollow steel sphere afloat and spinning -- perpetually -- via a stationary permanent magnet, whose magnetic field interaction with the sphere is tuned via a one-time placement of a copper sheet over the magnet. He demonstrates the effect by utilizing a steel ball bearing in a plastic half-sphere. Which is a little confusing at first.

Where to get ones hands on a hollow steel sphere? Earth globes used to be made of hollow thin steel spheres, don't know about now.

I wonder if a floating, hollow steel tube with ends caped would allow for more surface area to react with an even larger magnet beneath, allowing for more power? In other words rather than a sphere spinning, you have a roller or barrel spinning. Would a tube allow for the same rolling effect or reaction with a magnet?

Very interesting. Sorry, already said that.

I think this might have some relation to this device.

Note :

"One could build a PPM and then copy it exactly, and it would not work. You MUST see the flux pattern.

I have specifically said you must view these patterns using a box with metal filings. If you build a PPM without doing this, you are very lucky. "John T" has said that he has built the PPM, and I hope that he has done so. He has also said that he has turned a 6 volt generator with it, and I hope that he has done so."
