@ Goat
I think this is the key ...getting those angles right. I must admit this is a unique approach.
Thanks Clanzer...await your replication results

It's interesting how these "new" motors seem to follow the same pattern. They show up on youtube working unbelievably well. No sound or description of how they work. They tend to be very small and move at great speeds under just about any condition. There's always some degree of
secrecy about them. The "inventor" always want to remain unknown.
Anyone see a pattern here?

Hi,

Here is an acceleration analysis of the youtube video (low quality)
(see graph below)

Important note about the analysis:
- this analysis is far from accurate.
- many variables are able to deteriorate the graph results
- low quality of the video
- especially low frames per second
- this makes the acceleration curve less precise and more difficult to interpret.
- finally, dots that form horizontal line on the acceleration curve,
  are due to low frames per second of the video and the motion sensors used for this analysis.

   
Remark
- despite the circular motion of the engine made by hand several times during the video,
- the axis of rotation seems to remain always close to the same place...
  ...with one exception when the engine is tipped, during this time the engine is decelerating.

- caution before any conclusion would be wise...
  ...Mylow story and method is also possible here.

Wait and see, wait and see.

In principle, this device should not work as implied: by the interactions of the visible magnets alone.
But you all knew that I would say that.

I think the weird angled magnets got pushed too far through their holes and shifted before the hot glue set up.

Please don't anybody go buy a bunch of magnets, or especially plans from or through Sterling, until some more work has been done by outsiders like CLaNZeR, who probably have the right magnets and other materials lying around. Unless of course you just get off on that sort of thing...I'm not trying to stop anybody from having fun...


And don't forget about the "RB Effect" as a possible source of drive (but I can think of many many others, that don't violate CofM.)
