Rick,  I agree the hand expriements show us what is needed to be done.  "Move the stator"
I think the scientific question becomes "How do we move the stator with less work than that is produced?"
Also,  how to measure this to ensure we are getting more work done.

Hi Bill,

There are nearly an infinite number of possible methods, and combinations of methods, that can be used for stator movement.  Some will obviously prove to be better than others, and as experimentation results are received from Pipe Dream project participants and entered into a searchable central database, focus will be directed at further enhancing methods shown to provide the most beneficial results, as well as exploring methods not yet reported.  I am currently working on a tracking/timing method, while others are working on differing methods of achieving the stator movement.  The whole idea behind sharing all this data is to help speed the project forward by allowing experimenters to avoid pitfalls and needless duplications of efforts already made and documented, while focusing on new techniques or enhancements to techniques that have already been demonstrated as beneficial.  Working in this organized manner allows each person's efforts to have the most substantial, positive, and effective contribution to the project's outcome.  The data received from, and shared by experimenters, will be very exacting reports of all involved factors,  and the results obtained during a standardized test procedure.  I'll be explaining more about this aspect later, but I think you now see the dynamics that are involved.  So you see, I could go on and on talking about the method I am currently exploring, and why I think it is likely to work well, but it is irrelevant at this point until it is actually tested and the results are confirmed by others.  And my next step will then be either to enhance this method, if it appears to nearly work, or use a different approach or combination of approaches.

Best 2 U,

Specifically arranged rotor and stator magnets can lift the rotor weight off of the physical bearing thus reducing the friction and increasing the run down time. Effectively, you create a magnetic bearing with the magnets which overide the physical bearing...

Yes, Callanan, a very good point, and something we have been giving due consideration.  If stator movement can be accomplished in an efficient manner that allows even low rpm rotation, then the rotation speed can certainly be enhanced through use of better bearings, specialty lubricants, magnetically assisted resistance reduction, or by use of methods allowing for bearingless levitation of the rotor axis.   All of these methods are available, and none are ruled out for experimentation.

Rick, I have been waiting for views of your new stator setup, but can't find it on yt.

here is the simple drawing I made but I doubt it would work.

Mega dittos, Wilby!

What part of my post leads you to believe I expect an answer? I'm just making a statement, since rickoff has proven incapable of actual discussion of anything contrary to his preconceptions.

Now, where's rick? He's either A) commercializing his permanent magnet motor discovery, or B) tearing his hair out because he still hasn't come up with a moving stator design that works  better than mine does.
Which do you think is more likely?
