Cavitation: Is it the key to alternative energy?

Beautiful build!! [but you already knew that]

I don't see a place for the duct tape??

    That motor you picture is how Tesla wanted electric motors to be with the b field of the coils being utilized.   The shorted coils respond to the magnetic flux density change within the core which induces a current in the coil that opposes or cancels the magnetic flux change inside it's core.  This causes a magnetic field density shift from the area of the core which is uninhibited towards the "shading coil" area.
This magnetic density shift is always in the same direction no matter which way the current in the line coil is produced.  The shading coil is of very low impedance because it has to do it's thing within one ac cycle.  If this coil was of very fine wire the motor would not run.  Because the shading coil current would flow long after it was needed to change the magnetic flux shift in the laminations.

That would make more sense, now I see the vortex - natures other accelerator.

and the cavitation?

Yes sir, I have been pointing to those two copper winds even a few weeks ago on a thread involved in the perpetual magnetic wheel as a means of neutralizing the sticky spot. Oh regarding your post of the wheel a few pages back, funny thing I had designed a wheel a few months back but forgot to post it. I am suffering from too many projects at the same time. lol

Anyways here it is. Should not be a difficult build. My idea is just the opposite, to have the center fixed and outer fixed but the center should have a 15-20 degree rotation capability to adjust and fix the final angle where the outer sticky-spot is overcome by the inner push and vis-versa, always pushing the center rotor so it can turn counter clockwise.

Sorry if totally off topic.

@ Grumpy
I believe Acceleration[extreme] also causes cavitation

Speaking of acceleration!!! Codename "Shkval-Torpedo": Super-cavitation is a loop-hole in physics

I know this is not what you meant Grumpy but its cool
