I may be sounding like a broken record but I think it would be most advantageous if you can speak with Mylow again and ask him about the rotor magnets. We absolutely need to know the pull capacity of the rotors. Some idea at least. If you look at the channel magnet market there are many choices with pull strengths going from 1 to 12 pounds in relatively similar sized channel magnets. Without the pull information on the rotor replication will be more difficult.

If his rotors have 1 pound pull, then the proximity spacing on the rotor sets would mean a totally different thing then if they have 12 pounds pull. Given that close spacings of the rotors, his rotor information is totally important since with the wrong rotor force, or let's say a rotor force that may be totally out of the range of adjustment compensation one could achieve with the variable stator positions. To strong means each segment will have a harder entry point, too weak and there is not enough repulsion force to push it out to the next.

Now of course all this is also relative to the rotor spacings but knowing Mylows spec on the rotor will give us a very clear idea on the actual flux strengths involved and this is definitely key.

Also, please thank him for his last video which says it all. lol

Like your wheel. Since your magnets are facing one polarity inwards towards the center, I would suspect that your stator will work better from the top.

@all builders

It is evident that magnet flux strength variations will all play on the rotor spacings. Some have already recommended that at this exploratory stage you only work with 3-6 rotors using a means of spacing with some type of clamping that will permit you to quickly change the rotor spacings and then do manual stator positioning, not fixed. The mix between the two will provide you with faster results.

So what happens when you put two magnets together. or near one another. The magnet field doubles. When you put 3 it triples as one. If you have 2 sets of 3, the whole space will have two triples intermixed making one dual flux. Then the inter 6 set spacing being large enough to enable the stator to reset its own field as it transfers from one 6 set to the other.

You need to play with only 6 magnets on the wheel. Once put on, take your compass and see how far the total field extends left and right into the wide open spacing and write down the length. Then compare this to how far one rotor magnet field extends left and right and write down the length. This will give you a realistic visual idea of the 6 or 7 set flux. Then play with the inter spacings and stator position to get the stator to pass through.

Mylows last video shows 55 rotors in 8 sets, 7 or 7 and 1 or 6 all equally spaced in their sets. But his rotors could have a pull strength of only 1 pound each. If your rotors have a pull strength of 3-4, 5-8, 9-12 pounds, all this will then require some compensatory spacing to maintain the same overall flux but even then, it will not replicate the same flux angle.

My wheel is not the same configuration and my stator I am using for now is a set of neos with two metal shafts, one stuck in each side either inline or perpendicular. I can change the stator width by simply removing some neos. This may be a good way for you guys to try other stator widths since your regular stators are locked to that dimension and may be not suitable for the rotor field strengths. All this will play on the overall effects.

Listening to latest video with headphones it is quite easy to understand portions of TV/Radio dialogue in the background.

@ 00:40  you can clearly hear a melody
@ 02:21 Male voice "Will I have to see you again, will you be in the ring again. Because we will really be fighting for you"

kudos to sterling for the best project i have ever seen run....(i'm just not sure what the project objective was)...

Sound tracks can easily be dubbed onto the video.

@Sterlinga

You made a cryptic comment earlier about having more information regarding talks with Mylow?
