Magnetic Resonance Devices based on Don Smith Concepts

You sure can try it, but i highly doubt eddy currents will have any significant effect on the field of the big magnets.

Also if you use ferromagnetic material with holes you got problem of magnets wanting to stick to non hole parts.

One approach might be to copy Muller and use odd number of holes arranged in such way that rotor does not get stuck ever.

That's a good idea too.

This is an example of the large interrupter area I was talking about earlier, this is for Giron which is nothing more than layers of woven wire sections at angles to each other, held together with a plastic material.

Passing this kind of material through a magnetic field would generate induction as well as eddy current.
If the interrupter material is non magnetic the only force affecting the rotor would be electrically induced magnetism.

Problem with that is big magnets will care about those eddy currents as much as elephant cares about an ant in it's way.

One thing that should work is what i already mentioned..

To have an iron plate with magnets in opposition to stationary magnets on each side of the plate, thickness of the plate and size of opposing magnets being balanced so that they neither attract nor repel big magnets, yet, since there is iron in the middle, big magnets are 100% screened.

I've tried that with opposing magnets. It works, but like you say magnetic lock is a problem. The Muller method would definitely be beneficial with it.

Your probably right about the eddy currents, the more I think about it, it would have to be the induction currents that affect it the most. Giron is a super expensive, slightly magnetic material that will block the field between two magnets. Problem is it takes several layers of it to do the job. That is with the material stationary to the magnetic field though, so no induction current. I'm trying to come up with something similar that will do the job with this application without spending a fortune.

Anyway, we're just discussing possible ways to duplicate the DS generator. By the way, that device we've all seen is just a proof of principle prototype. I don't believe the pictured device has the output of 50kW per coil pair. I think that one would be much larger.

Good discussion.

If done right there should be no locking at all.
