New setup. Need adjustable test rig.

I don't have the material left, to redo the experiments. But I tried several setups, with more and less stators and runners and all setups had in common that any rotations stopped as soon as the loop was closed.

I have noticed that   one way to make a magnetic motor  run smoother is by  using  one set of magnets that is  much bigger than the other set.    like  3.5  to 4 times  bigger.

If you  enjoy   doing the  simulations    you might try  doing a hexagon .
It  seems to me that if  you  put the  outer  corner  of   a magnet  almost  touching   the inner  corner   of   the  previous   magnet  it  should work .

I don't think  you  would  need a  3rd ring of magnets   with this design .

I have noticed that...

I think that comment should have been aimed at 'eavogels' who posted the simulations

all my stuff so far is theoretical animation, nothing simulated, no flux present..

I have several ideas, all of which need a rig or simulation. I'm most keen to test the idea of 9 rotating on a ring within 32 fixed (with the 32 rotated at 45degrees and the inner 9 maybe maybe not rotated)

home experiments are saying the inner set (thats the set on the moving ring) wouldn't seem to benefit from being rotated 45degrees, it may even remove all advantage.
