Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

[bnetaat2000]

so the stator is supplying torque?

I would simply say that in this configuration the rotor receives a push from the combined magnetic field of rotor and stator.

In attachment, the FEMM simulation file and the LUA script I used to automate the process.

bnet is exactly right here.

the compressed flux as the rotor and stator come together, push both around in the direction of rotation.
I'm designing mine as a Decagon, rather than an octagon, to increase this effect.

almost any drag or torque that works against the wheels spinning is very bad for this design. your bearings should be as low friction as possible, so that you can spin it with your finger and it goes a long way.

anything less than that is going to work against you in some fashion, so i would try to reduce the

"hard to turn" as much as you can.

That's not obvious judging from @alsetalokin's video and the noises heard therein.

Not obvious from the video when he spun the rotor in gear-mode and it continued for a long time?
you just like to argue dont you omni?

Well, the video shows it accelerating and running for 25 or 30 seconds. Then the video ends, so for all we know, it slowed down after that and stopped a short time later.

Al claims it ran for 7.5 hours, but why should we believe him without some evidence, like a successful replication? And the guy has disappeared. He is not exactly a believable witness.

Of course, it's not obvious from the video that the friction is low, as you insist. That substantial noise heard isn't from low friction. That's the point I don't agree with you. The friction must be just right not that it has to be low. Now, what's "just right" that remains to be understood.
