Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[ken_nyus]

The actual clip seems to be a hand-held video to me, so it makes it hard to do straight-line checks. The whole image moves around a bit.

what's going on with the straight line from along the top of the strip to the stator dropping? is that a matter of strobe timing? or accel / decel of the device or one of it's components?

im not sure i understand you. have you seen the video? he set the timing of the strobe in such a way that the device appears to look like its running in slow motion. so the line is dropping in a clockwise direction. this speed is just an illusion tho, you could adjust the strobe so it looks like its running backwards if you wanted.

@CLaNZeR,

Seems to me not only the dampers have to be around the stator equidistant from the other two stators but the first video shows that one of the dampers is closer to the stator than the other damper, not as in the picture you showed here.

Besides the Drawing being incorrect i.e. Stator layout, are u using brass to retain the Dampers instead of Nylon or plastic ?

Other than that the rep looks Great 

Good Luck
Bill

Also did U base your rotor layout off of Jason's drawing or the original Mea's provided in the PDF?

Thanks again
Bill

I have not got a link, but i am sure Al replaced the nylon for brass as he had problems with the nylon holding up ..

No - wait.  That can't be right.  270 degrees per strobe would imply 810 degrees of rotation by the rotor  per frame, which would imply 2.25 revolutions in the stator per frame - but the stator clearly has moved a multiple of 360 degrees.  Maybe it's 270 degrees per frame and 1080 for the stator after all.  But, regardless, my question regarding acceleration and deceleration doesn't really change regardless how many actual (albeit multiple) revolutions the stator makes per frame.

every 90 degrees the rotor turns, the stator turns 360. its a 4:1 gear ratio.

Yes, you're right.  810 * 4 / 360 = 9.0 stator revolutions.  No remainder.

But, leaving my poor arithmetic skills aside for a moment, what about my question - doesn't anyone see something odd in the continuous nature of the stator revolution?  This entire project is hinged upon the notion that by varying the relationship between the rotor and stator magnets 'sticky spots' could be minimized.  That would imply that the stator magnet would have to slow down and speed up to avoid facing them directly.  But - it doesn't seem to in the video.  Can that be explained by the strobe?

I dont think there is enough information to determine it either way, the variation in speed could be so slight as to be unnoticeable.
