Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

@Any
I thought I heard acceleration without air on the disc, but not actually sure, what the huming sound meant

1) whats this green/blue stuff: chewing gum? For extra weight?
2) Why are you applying the dampers? They are suppose to reduce speed, but you don't want that right now, don't you?

Hi Robbie

The Blue Tac is there to bring the weight of the Stator Magnets upto 10g each.
I have started on my final Stators now.

Regards the Dampners, while doing wind down tests I came across this:

NOTE: knock a 0 off the end of each RPM mark so 4500 =450 rpm



As you can see the Dampners do carry the Rotor for a bit longer before the drop.
So not only do they maybe act as brakes up the up but also on the down.

I was actually shocked to see the difference as I dismissed the dampners a little, but it does look like they do indeed have an effect bigger than I thought.

I am not sure if the Dampners I have used are made out of 6061-T6 but have some 1/2" bars hopefully here tomorrow of the 6061-T6 and will be interesting to compare the difference.

Be interesting too see what the correct Dampners do when they arrive.

Cheers

Sean.

@CLaNZeR:

I've been lurking here and at Steorn since the start of this - excellent work so far. What does the graph look like overlaid with a baseline reading of just the rotor wind down with no stators?  Just interested in seeing how much energy is taken out of the system visually.

@KlickUK,

Sorry to intervene. I've done it with my rig and I think @CLaNZeR will report a similar thing--without stators the wind down time of mine is about 220s. With stators without AGW latch its about 15s and with AGW latch about 35s. I'm talking about the rig which is the closest copy to @alsetalokin's. The other (having recommended rectangular rotor magnets) isn't with me right now and can't tell.

@Omnibus: Thanks for that. I'm impressed with your effort too. Lots of good work going on all around in fact.

That is what you would expect without any OU, correct?
