Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

@Clanzer

you wouldn't happen to have a slow-motion camera?
or access to camera with a fast shutter speed to see the alignment when the syncing happens?

Hi-speed cameras generally cost quite a bit of cash. There are some types of camcorders that you can force to go into 60fps as opposed to 29.97/30, but this feature isn't generally supported in typical household cameras by sony or the like...

But you never know... perhaps Clanzer does have one

In this test you would attach a belt from the test motor to an alternator instead of using the Judson dampers.
...allowing the alternator to spin freely with almost no drag.

Are you thinking of the Judson dampers as a drag on the rotor like a belt drive?

I could be wrong but I think the dampers function is to help the stator's inertia to carry it through a sticky spot when the rotor reaches a critical point, to help accelerate the rotor and stator(s), not drag the rotor down like a belt would.

A belt or some other PTO will need to be added later, but this baby is still in the delivery room with momma and it is too early to break-out the cigars. 

Sorry Rosphere too lazy to find the link, but somewhere in the development thread over at Steorn (I think about page 5 or 6) Al discusses the need for the Judson Dampers. Prior to using these, the device once "in sync" the stator would accelerate up to over 8000 rpm's, become unstable and drop out of sync. The dampers provide drag on the stator, to slow the acceleration and stator speed. They don't help accelerate the rotor and stator, they do the opposite and keep it "balanced" and in sync. This is what I find most interesting. Other ways can be found to provide that drag/control mechanism that can generate usable work.

@All

I am still not clear on whether the JDO specifications are exactly what Al has built or not ?
Can anyone clarify this, it seems a grey area, or did i miss a post regarding this?

Hi Dean,

I just asked about Al Confirming my blueprints yesterday. Here's the posted response about it:

There was only one minor discrepancy with the Rotor's shaft not being a bolt, but Al mentioned on the Steorn forum that he was using a screw axle when he originally got it working.

Well spinning the Stator magnet using Air certainly will stop me taking skin off my fingers!!!

Heres some latching with 1 Stator Fixed again, 1 Stator loose and of course the latcher!.
Also in the same video latching with just 1 Stator, again using the airline.

And yep it does sound to initially speed up when it latches as you can hear.
I will get the Tacho connected back up and see if we can catch it.

Got to go try eat this end, as had nothing all day LOL

P.S Sorry the videos are so big but I want to try and keep them atleast 640 * 480 resolution, so you can see what is actually happening.

Way to go!

I initially thought I heard the rotor accelerating in your earlier video but it is VERY refreshing to see a second person get this thing going! Keep up the great work! Soon I'll be in on all the fun as well 

I also bought a decent Tachometer from eBay so that I can take RPM measurements once I get my rig up and running.
