Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

Hello all here is my long awaited quote for parts as spec'd in the drawings for the whipmag replication...

>>Hi Jason.

>>We are quoting your parts, 10 assys for $83.75 each.

>>Thank you
>>Terri @ C&D

They are a little more expensive that I originally thought...

In the interest of getting something out of this....

If I get 9 orders... I can get them to you for $94 each plus shipping...
this will get me one for myself and One for each of the 9 lucky folks that want to pay $94 US for them.

In the unlikely event 9 of you are still interested, I have paypal, live in NY, and will take interest as it comes via PM so as to not clutter this thread with this...
I truly thought I could get these done cheaper, it is what it is...

I do know that the quality of the parts from this machine shop is superior, although not sure for a hundred bucks, you will still need to have bearings, magnets, and shafts.

Personally I will probably wait until, clanzer replicates, then build a giant one based on that.
Thanks

Sounds Great UZ

Please put me down for one of those babies!

I'm still waiting for a quote from SPM but I don't think that they'll be able to beat that price... (Hey Ken... are you in??)

Just want to make sure that materials are as recommended by Al  (rotor -  HDPE etc...)

Thanks

Please send me

...sorry, fat fingered that...

Please send me contact information for payment / shipping arrangements.

Thanks

ok then, looks like I have two orders so far...

I know I could go back to find this info... the best material for the job was listing in the tech specs...
BUT, do we want a clear substrateinstead?

Thanks

Hi Just a quick post to state that i can get 500 rpm plus i.e. 511, 513, 524 rpm with a hand or finger start on the rotor with three 1/4" (6.35 diameter) cylinder mags/ slot. The rotor diameter is as per spec.

"...But I do not recommend using polycarbonate (Lexan )for any part of the machine--it's in the wrong place on the triboelectric series, if one of my theories is correct.

Nor do I recommend acrylic plastic (Lucite, Plexiglas, Perspex?) for the rotor, if the base is acrylic. Different materials should probably be used. I used HDPE which at the opposite end of the plastic tribo series from acrylic.

----------------------------------------
The Delrin (or Acetal in the civilized world) is what I used for the early rotors and all the stator bearing/magnet holders, and the 3.5 mm to 1/2 in shaft adapter. It is by far the nicest plastic to machine. ..."

UZ - we should also consider altering the design so that we can move the stators / dampers around some... kind of like Sean did on his base... I want to be able to replicate but I also want to be able to tweak...

@Jason - What do you think??

Thanks
