Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[Yadaraf]

All I know is what I copied from the 'daily digest email' from the Yahoo group. I clicked on the youtube link, saw it then posted it over here.

Sorry I can't help.

What made me post it here, rather than start a new thread, was the look of the same "little magnet thingys" that I recognised from this thread.

I thought you guys might be able to experiment, seeing as though you have lots of the "little magnet thingys" lying around.

What are the "little magnet thingys" called by the way? Maybe I could buy some.

Please, start a new thread if you think it is worth it!

Sorry to butt in this thread

bourne,

Your post actually seems appropriate, considering the use of TriForce geometry.

The "magnet thingys" are available at toy stores (including Target) and go by the name GeoMag or Magnetix:

... Magnetix:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetix

Unfortunately, the rods -- which are the magets -- are not marked North/South and the consumer has to do this.  The balls are not magnets, but rather simple steel ball bearings.

Happy experimenting.

Cheers

Cheers for the info Yada.

I guess I will have to get myself to the local toy shop.

Yipee 

I haven't been in a toy shop for ages. I can't wait !!

The magnet sets are very inexpensive, but be cautioned that you will become addicted

Let us know when you replicate the "magnetic contraption".

Certianly will.

Playing with magnets is not a bad addiction to have..... is it?

I hope its not another 'Xpenzif' hair dryer powered motor idea  It doesn't look like it at first glance. Only time will tell.

I will have to read this whole thread at the weekend so I can join in.

Until then have fun

Hi All
I just wanted to show you what I beleave is a true magnetic motor, I showed the Trigate works we have seen it cross an air gap now I will show you how I would put it all together, when you look at the drawing remember its a loop so the rotor follows it around to the air gap, this setup has no sticky spot and moves in one direction.
Take Care All
