got over the sticky spot

[thevorlon]

I'm trying to find some affordable neomydium magnets online but to get the various shapes and sizes I want (none of them really very large) they are just too expensive. I thought I found some really good prices at http://www.magnet4less.com but the problem there is you have to purchase a minimum of like 40 or more of some items. They have great prices, but you can't purchase smaller numbers of any of their items. Then the other sites out there have jacked up prices for individual magnets.

It sucks wanting to be a mad scientist on such a limited budget. :-(

@thevorlon,

The neodymium magnets are not a must in this project. On the contrary, it seems that they are conterproductive. You may be able to accomplish better results with inexpensive ceramic magnets probably, if you manage to hit on the right configuration and balance (disbalance, rather) of forces..

Okay, I see, somebody else has already posted the missing video here.
Thanks.

One important thing:
Scott told me in a private email,
that you need retracting stator magnet,
so that they go back and forth, when a rotor passes
by, simular to the Finsrud device. where also the stator magnets
go back, when the ball approaches...

This might be a trick to get over the sticking point...

@Stefan,

This is a very important remark. In my conversations with Finsrud he insisted that such motion is crucial for the device to work and that so far no one has a working perpetuum mobile due to the overlooking of this point. Also, Wesley Snyder?s device has the axis of the rotor wobble, thus overcoming the sticky point. Unfortunately, I still have not seen Snyder?s device working when suspended on a stand and not held by hands. Also, Scott Clarke completely disappeared just when he was explaining the need for the stator magnets to move and telling us he?ll show us his device working.
