Working Attraction Magnet Motor on Youtube!?

I hope you still can change your screws by grinding off the heads
enough.

I think you are right, it is sod all to do with the screws but more to do with using metal that has a slight slant.

What we maybe need is to replace the screws with slanted pieces of metal as suggested by others, but also thaty fit the curve.

Something like chopping up a piston ring and grinding down the angle, but alot of work

Will see if the chap comes back with more info I reckon.

Hi CLaNZeR,
Your screws seem to have a small point at the end a strait bit in the Midol and a flat end at a right angle to the stem.

Were as the originals have a more tapered shape and stem and attached to that a tapered head, giving a much smoother transition. 

Where the originals flattened with a hammer?

This would give a work hardening affect and would make them slightly denser from being squashed and have a harder composition at one end.

The plastic type material my hold sum electrostatic vortex type reaction/property /effect/buildup. It was insulated by the wooden board to.

Maybe the spiral of the screw its self helps with the cogging effect as you may get a similar effect as in this video?

Think it need to be a carbon copy ; )

Extremely good effort though, just making observations.

Good luck to you,

Regards Paul.

Just looked at the new clip of the replication, think you might be pushing it the wrong way round.

CCW the same as the original

Video attached. Excuse the music, was the last track I had loaded in Windows Movie Maker LOL

Tried attaching movie to this post but timed out twice now, so have uploaded to my server:

Thanks @CLaNZeR for sharing this with us. I think next step should be to flatten the heads of the screws both ways (front and back). Another thing, the screws don't seem to be the type @xpenzif uses. The heads of his screws are conical which affects the distribution of the field when flattened. The screws in your device even when their heads are flattened will have a too sudden transition from high attraction to low attraction. Seems like a small detail but, who knows, in view of the importance of the shape of the fields this may have some importance. Good job otherwise.
