Magnet motor from George Soukup, German Translation Needed?

Hi!

Today I´ve done a changed setup.

I personally think it could be a step ahead.

Great work.. did you see my comment on overlapping?

I believe to reduce the sticky.. start the V track with the magnets 3-4 inches (7-10cm) apart so it looks more like this \ / and not this V.. also I don't think it is a good idea to overlap the start and end of the tracks.

(Talking about on the drum)
Two reasons I don't think it is good:
1. It creates an unbalenced drum
2. Possible conflict with the start and end magnets

George Soukup is such a jerk.. He just deleted half the page over at PESWIKI and put up a huge photo of himself!

George DID NOT invent this motor.

I'll have to find another place to put all the info on this motor together.

This George Soukup guy has some serious ego issues.  How sad.

I just registered vpmm.org (not active yet).  I will dedicate this site as the "Open Source Permanent Magnet Motor Project".  I will not include any of George's videos.  Any type of PMM will be welcome.

Greetings All.

I'm sorry to say that my initial trial for creating a fast, inexpensive medium to build these out of did not work.  I have another idea I'm going to test this week. 

However, I still believe strongly that the V-gate design WILL work and here's why:

Theory on operation:  The V-gate creates an attractive force between opposing poles (or complimentary poles if you prefer e.g. north/south) between the ends of the stators and the track magnets.  If you're following this you know that the gate is the issue because it is the strongest point of attraction between the stators and the rotor magnets.  Clanzer did an EXCELLENT video on his website showing the effects of different stator arrangements, but stopped short of showing the solution (as I believe).  Sorry but I can't find his page anymore . 

To get past the gate, a minimum of 3 stators must be implemented if not more.  All stators are moving toward the strongest attractive force on the rotor (e.g. gate).  With multiple stators, you can create a collective force of attraction GREATER THAN a single stator at the gate.  In other words, the stators that are NOT at the gate want to get there very badly and collectively will overpower the stator that hits the gate.  The trick is figuring out the most efficient configuration of stators including quantity and placement with respect to the size, length and orientation of the track.
Last year I built a reverse of this design by creating a V-gate track around the outside as a stator and then set up the magnet sticks in a rotor fashion.  I did not have enough magnets to fully test it, but even with half a track around it acted like it wanted to startup.  Due to other projects and lack of magnets, the project got shelved for a while.  It's coming back out now and being redesigned to better hold the magnets.  (I also have more magnets now )

FYI - Given the state of the world, I am also planning on opening up ALL of my files and ideas to this forum for open sourcing.  I've realized that I can't do this by myself due to my inability to accurately fabricate my designs.  It's always either too costly or too complicated for my present tool set.
