One Way Magnetic Shielding - The Holy Grail

[AquariuZ]

I´ve been thinking a while about this...

Now today i actually had an idea. I took an old aluminum lid from the kitchen and attached it to a CD drive bearing (very loose spindown over 8 minutes).

Toy Magnetics on the rim S to earth N to sky. No cannot reproduct Mylow because it is not all aluminum (large bearing etc). But in a certain arrangement using something that looks like a propellor as a second layer on top of the pan I seem to be able to get bursts of acceleration.

Thing is it does not cover all the series yet and is thus out of balance... If I can get the shielding in correctly I will try and post some pictures.

So it is a double wheel, bottom one has series of magnets with the (back)end of every set partially shielded by a propellor blade which is fixed on top of the bottom wheel. The stator is on top of that and not connected (like Mylow).

Magnets get attracted by the stator and the assembly moves, then the propellor blade passes between the rest of the magnet series and the stator and the pull is almost eliminated so the wheel continues... Reaches next "open" series, pulls, accelerates and reaches the backend of the series which is covered by the blade. Very simple.

I´ll spend a good deal of time tomorrow testing further but for now... It looks surprisingly effective.

* massive failure *

At least I have a nifty way of testing several configurations

I would nonetheless wish to see it Aquariuz ! good hit or failure are important just so they are not repeated indefinitly that's the major reason why this forum exist ! ....and here's my latest idea ...may not be the brithess of course but hey it looks fun to try hahaha !

James posted a couple of comments on this video:

Wonderful construction! Far better than mine I think. You need a spacer between the magnet and the battery as you do not want the magnet to touch any metal whatsoever. Since you are using a thick steel plate on the backdoor, you can also do this with out the battery, Simply make three metal boxes around the magnet. The battery was used out of convenience as I stated in the video. You want to keep the spacing between layers around 1/4 inch.

But yes there is a way to get rid of the attraction to the shielding. Simply use bismuth for shielding. It%uFEFF will block 100% of the flux without having to layer. Trouble with bismuth is that it's like a mirror, it bounces the flux right back to your rotor. So in the end, we still have the same ole problem. There might be a clever way to use bismuth, but I'm not talking right now.
