Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

Hi Guys,

I am constructing my own replication version of this motor setup.
I have a single question to ask.

On the original motor there are 13 holes in a circle around the main rotor that the stator magnets could be placed in. Figure counting clockwise.

Say I started and placed my first stator magnet in hole #1 then what would be the correct next couple hole numbers that the other two stator magnets would be placed in?

I see many different setup ideas regarding the stator magnet placement.  Your help will be most appreciated.

It seems like the inventor should again demonstrate his/this motor device outdoors on a glass top backyard patio table in BROAD DAYLIGHT. With his sleeves rolled up to show credibility once and for all.  All movie clips should be of excellent quality.

Just how hard would that be to do?

Has anyone seen a graphic representation of this anywhere??


per Al - "But if you look at the later ones, you will see a 3.5 mm shaft instead of the 1/4-20 brass screw, and the 1/2 in hole in the rotor has been "plugged" with a Delrin insert to adapt to this shaft. The shaft is mounted in a dual ball bearing holder with a spring compression end-play eliminator, and the holder in turn is mounted on the base, in lieu of the brass screw. The rotor now simply slides on and off the shaft. For upside down runs I secure the rotor with a little retaining collar with a setscrew."

Thanks!

I have not seen any graphic, but I tried to follow any more info on this, and if I remember correctly, Al tried to explain it further, and also mention that this was a mechanism he took from the capstan(? or some other part) of an old reel-to-reel tape recorder.

hmmm can't find it...
I'm still trying to get a quote for parts machining but this part is stumping SPM...    (I see CLaNZeR's rig,) What's everyone else doing to support the rotor, what kind of bearings? how high etc?
is there a stock part(s) available somewhere?

Thanks

Ever thought of turning down a bit of brass threaded rod. Easy on a lathe , but possible using just a drill and a micrometer. Takes a lot of filing , here is one i prepared earlier
