SPIRAL MAGNET MOTOR IDEA??

[magnetman12003]

Hi,

Please check out the U tube movie clip I pasted below.

The fellow I believe has a excellent idea but to get it to work check out the way I have shown in my illustration.  I am wide open for comments on this "half baked" idea.

The real key is to make use of a small thumbwheel mechanical ratchet as shown on the single magnet disk drive axle. The ratchet can be set to turn only one way by a single flip of a lever. Then the disk will only turn that way with ease.  A lot of noise will be generated if this device works. The ratchet pawl should scream at hi speeds.

That prevents the single magnet disk from turning backwards when both disk magnets repell each other.  The spiral disk is free to turn clockwise as shown and spins the ratchet disk along with it. No backturning on the ratchet disk.  Whats your opinion ?   --   I am sure there will be a lot.

Here is the movie clip.

Just posted a corrected illustration showing meshed gear teeth between disks. Forget about the connecting crank arm between disks previously posted.

Hi,
this one is on my "to follow up"-playlist since last year and
i was wondering about the further progress.

Is it originally yours?

Best,
sushi

Edit: just to make clear. My question is concerning if the model and video is yours.
I did not mean the idea.

Hi,

In your diagram the rigid crank arm will not allow for counter rotation of the rotors, when the arm is in the horizontal position the distance between the arm end bearings is less than when the arm is angled. The rotors will only be able to rotate in the same direction. Cogs or a crossed belt would work, although they will give more friction.

You are right about the rigid crank arm. Wont work.   Looks like meshed matching geared teeth on the outside circumferences of both disks might work.   More friction however.  The magnets used would have to be powerfull enough to overcome the friction and drag of the spinning ratchet mechanism and gear teeth contact.

A long time ago I used a ratchet mechanism in one of my experiments. I operated it at hi speeds.but after a while it actually wore out.   While it was working however it was a screamer..
