Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[HyTower]

Hi Guys,

I am constructing my own replication version of this motor setup.
I have a single question to ask.

On the original motor there are 13 holes in a circle around the main rotor that the stator magnets could be placed in. Figure counting clockwise.

Say I started and placed my first stator magnet in hole #1 then what would be the correct next couple hole numbers that the other two stator magnets would be placed in?

I see many different setup ideas regarding the stator magnet placement.  Your help will be most appreciated.

@magment man
I think the orginal was to have stators in all 13 spaces, but in Als video he had the Judson dampers in the other stator holes,
so I would say anything goes. Not much help huh

A quote from Al@steorn, which is interesting in the context of the effect proposed by Lumen:

"...But in spite of that, when I accepted what my eyes were telling me, I realized that the performance could be increased by adding just the barest retardation to the driving stator magnet--really an extension of OC's latch concept, but something that could work at higher speeds without extracting (or adding!) energy from the system, like an electromagnetic latch or damper might. So once again, serendipity operated, and I discovered that the aluminum alloy dampers did the trick--at least they seem to help."

I wonder if anyone tried to build a version with the stators placed on seperate rotors Maybe they would auto-sync ... at least it would be easier to find the right position. But maybe thats just plain wrong.

right Ken, that's the way that I understand Lumen's demo... he applied drag to the stator and his rotor gained speed... (in reality his drive motor was relieved of drag so it could turn faster... same thing)  so if the dampers can affect it in a similar manner  the dampers do appear to play a significant role...

Ever thought of turning down a bit of brass threaded rod. Easy on a lathe , but possible using just a drill and a micrometer. Takes a lot of filing , here is one i prepared earlier

That looks pretty straight forward Craigy Thanks
