got over the sticky spot

[ScottClarke]

I think you guys probably need to get to grips with the fact I don't get any glee from showing off my creations. No-one has seen my big lifters for eg - I don't have any urge to big-up myself.

Same goes here - I do stuff for personal achievement, nothing more. I know you guys have played with smots, this wheel started life as a smot ramp 3 weeks ago - I went to sleep and decided to put the ball on a wheel - nothing more. The initial results on the wheel looked very promising so I went to work developing it - found this forum via Stefans old yahoo group (a member for years) and decided to post the first wheel vid. Hey, I found it interesting I thought you would too!

I really don't think posting the video I had would really achieve anything - I could easily have a brushless esc under the wood powering the thing. See - I have seen the fakes - I've heard the story - I know full well I could be faking it - as it is.

Tell you what - pretend all I've done is posted the video's. Compare it to SMOT - that would be a good start - it IS a 2 ramp smot.

While you think about that you might like to tinker with some SS balls whilst I prepare a version which discloses fully everything about the unit.

Some points.

The stator neo's are on flexible mounts - they move and follow the ball like little fingers - THINK about that and the balls relationship to it's own neo - flux gradients and all.
The rotor must have mass for it to get over the low power zones without stopping - just like a 4-stroker.

Scott, the most important thing is to take care of yourself. You don?t need to feel under pressure and to fall sick. So far you?ve done a great job and, as I said, I admire you greatly even for what you?ve done so far. Just relax.

i can't wait any longer! lol

i have some neos here but they are too big and too strong to work with  and i don't have the tools.
*will need to buy some smaller ones

Hey Scott.. Where have you gone.. I have been trying to replicate this and i just give up.. It is just not working. Well i hope you are still doing ok, and hope to hear from you soon.

As Scott is pretty busy rebuilding the motor ,
I am posting his last 3 emails to me:

Stefan - I chipped away at the magnet to get the shape.

Retreating magnets - on my design that magnet which is moving away from the
stator in the nill flux zone.
The stator magnets are free to move around +/-2mm u/d/l/r
