Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
a  I am on vacation and have only slow PDA access and can not see the video, please can somebody post a few screenshots of the video  as Jpeg pics less than 30 Kbytes ?
Where is that damper located and are these magnets in the rotor slits and can they move there ?

Hi Stefan,

The rotor magnets are fixed while the three stator magnets rotate. Roughly, what he does is after  several attempts he manages to synchronize the rotor with one of the stators (the starting procedure isn't still clear to me--he says it's a result of a mistake he made; I think @CLaNZeR understands it better than anyone at this point as far as I can tell) which causes the rotor suddenly to accelerate spontaneously from several hundred to over one thousand rpms. The interesting things don't end here, however. At a certain moment he stops by hand two of the three rotating stator magnets and the rpms increase even further to about four to five thousand rpms. He says he has seen it run in this manner, without external energy supply, for  three hours after which is stops for hitherto unknown reason. The video ends abruptly after several minutes of spinning because, he says, his camera got out of memory. At first I dismissed it out of hand because it isn't a self-starter but then I saw the above and that really caught my interest. This is similar to the Lego motor idea but the Lego appears to be a self-starter (and of course no details about the Lego are known so that we can replicate it). It was pointed out earlier and I agree that this is in fact Searl motor idea. It is in this instance, however, openly demonstrated for others to reproduce it. Sorry can't post stills right now but they won't tell much. You've got to see the video. Jason's rendition is excellent and you can get the idea about the construction. The dampers at this point seem to be of secondary importance and are just additions to stabilize the spin at high rpms with not much of a role at low rpms. This is very briefly the situation the way I've understood it so far.

Hi Jason

What CAD software are you using please?

Great work!

Hi Jason, very nice drawing.  Regardless of any pre-existing images, going from the top image of yours and comparing to the video, it looks like the stator on the lower-right needs to go up one notch.  Both non-dampened stators should be located in the centre of two of the rotor magnets whilst the dampened stator should be exactly in-between two of the rotor magnets.  The dampened stator would then be exactly in-between the other two stators with a count (inclusive) of three rotor magnets to each non-dampened stator from the dampened stator.

Oops I didn't notice that when I went off Jdo300 model and created my own. Oh well, easily fixable.

I just did a simple fly around animation sketchup for people on youtube that might want to see what it looks like from different angles.
