Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[Omnibus]

Just to mention this. In the other rig which I don't have with me now but where I saw the unusual behavior during the wind down the rotor was spun at much higher rpm--1200, something I can't achieve presently. The rotor there is with the recommended rectangular magnets. These effects which I think @CLaNZeR observed as well are important to be studied further but here we're looking for self-sustaining run. Therefore, it's important to replicate the machine exactly as in the video.

What amazes me is that one would expect a motor such as this to be a self-starter if real. That's why, as you know, I dismissed it out of hand initially. If the acceleration we see in the video is confirmed it would probably mean that some additional effects, aside from the expected electrodynamic ones, emerge when the magnets are in motion with respect to each other than when they are at rest.

...if I spin it much faster, and remember he holds the two stators after the rotor has accelerated, my two stators remain at rest, only slightly trembling.

@Omnibus,

Did you also notice the following:

...The stators just sat there, with one exception; the 'black-half in-facing' stator does not move, while the 'white-half in-facing' stator slowly rolls over 180 degrees and stops to present its black-half towards the rotor, making two 'black-half in-facing' stators.  The rotor is balanced magnetically, what is causing this bias?...

@CLaNZeR,

I got to thinking today, while revising the opening review at PESWiki.

If I were you, seeing how you've had such a hard time getting the spec magnets to work, I'd go back to your interim set-up as shown at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZPI5BwccsA and try to optimize that set-up.

Go with what works.

@All,

I've created a shortcut url for the PESWiki OC MPMM open source project home page: http://www.oc-mpmm.com

Yes, I do. Very interesting. The stators aren't even trembling as mine do (although my rpm are lower). Hard to reproduce it though. Have to spin it at constant 1200rpm. Do you think that would be a criterion for the correct rotor to stator magnet induction ratio?

Busy day as usual this end.

Have posted First New Tacho results and movie link so you can see the latching occur.

Sorry cannot be bothered to type it all again LOL
