Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[ask]

Some people posted on youtube or forum about the motor. Saying even Al's motor is real thing, it has no future becuase when adding a load, it will slow down and die.

I don't agree at all. Here's why.

After Al finger started his motor, it speed up. The rotor gets like 1700 rpm. The energy gain is what we need. At worst, we can build a rotor weights a lot, use small energy to start it up, and let it die on the pick speed. Use that wind down energy to charge battery. When it stops, re start it again.

Am I have a point?

Hello All,

I have been unable to achieve AGW even one time with this new rotor, using N38's in the rotor.  I hope to contact Mike tomorrow about the identical bearings as Al's.  Sorry it is taking a bit.

I did oil yesterday, the rotor bearings.  Reading Omni's post, that was a bad idea.  I have even tried to use a dremel to achieve AGW and it will not lock.  Any ideas?

@ Sean, Omni and Bill and Andrea
Are all of you using screws that are attracted to a magnet, inside of your stators, as Al was?? 

@ Rob
Tell me it isn't so!!  LOL   

Cheers all,

Bruce

Hi Bruce
Well I have been there to and it is frustrating. What i did to reduce the magnetic effect between the bearing and the Stator mag was to temporarily install a small Steel washer between the two. The washer will attach its self bas expected, but will reduce or change the magnetic field effecting the the freeness of rotation. The main thing is that the washer dies not touch the cap screw. U will know it due to the noise. Give this a shot and see how it effects AGW.

I also machined up a brass bushing assembly to replace the bearing in the stator. The setup turns very freely when clear of the rotor and at very low rotor turns(rpm's), but as the rotation Ve's increase the stator locks up. Ended up removing the assembly and went back to bearings. Just had to try it to see.

The SHCS that I used are 316 SS alloy so the magnetic response is very, very low.
Hope this helps

Best Regards
Bill

@Bruce_TPU,

Did you use specifically ?Liquid Wrench Lubricating and Penetrating Oil? and not any other lubricant? Like I said, this particular one applied to the stator (not so much to the rotor) made the big difference in my rig. It was like night and day regarding the AGW lock.

@Bruce_TPU,

Forgot to answer this (sorry about that):

No, my stator shafts (screws) are non-magnetic, they are not attracted to a magnet.

@ Omni
I used precision lubricator from Radio Shack.

@ Bill
Thank you for the tip, I will try it.

Big Question:
Were Al's screws for his stators magnetic or non magnetic?    

If you do not think it matters, then think about each stator screw acting as a damper both to the stator and rotor, throwing the whole thing off.

I would suggest switching to magnetic screws to test, and attempting to achieve AGW lock and see if there is a difference!   

Cheers,

Bruce
