Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

Hi Jason,
Surely you mean the rotor radius is 2.875 inches giving a rotor diameter of 5.75 inches or 146mm?
(I think everyone knew that anyway, just stating the obvious).

Oopps. Sorry, Yeah 5.75 inches. I edited the post!

FWIW, In respect of the bearings used for this project...

Don't overlook "Faraday's Paradox", where even a rotating magnet spinning at the same speed as a metal disc, with the disc intersecting the magnetic field, will still yield potential and therefore oppose the change that induces it (Lenz's law).

These constructions certainly don't bear particular resemblance to those demonstrating Faraday's experiment, although the rapid and significant multi-angular distortions in EM fields (particularly around the diametrically-polarised cylindrical magnets) would inevitably have some impact, albeit to varying degrees. Greater impact would be imposed by greater (metal) bearing width and thickness for example, so one area worthy of review if accurate reproductions persistently and inexplicably fail to sustain rotation

hi,
looking at your last tape and comparing it with that of NikolaTelsa, I have noticed a problem of synchronization of the stator with the rotor magnetes.
I have the suspicion that an important part of the debugging is also the correct synchronization to elevated speed.
I think geometry and intensity of the field of the present magnets of the rotor is important to syncronize the rotor with stator.
It excuses the note and we hope that the things are all right.

... i got the impression after watching the first video in youtube that when he stoped the two smaller round magnets it sounded like a small electric motor kicked in and made the big rotor speed up.... i watched it many times, got the same impression each time.
