opposite polarity what does it mean exactly

[hoarybat]

Thank you both for the clarification and links.  I would be glad to tell you about my setup. My first initial prototype in which I used a bicycle wheel eventually broke the bearings because I used it flat/horizontally.  I am now using the magnets from that and purchased more for the latest project.  I had problems after my first run so I don't have a movie of it working yet as I'll explain.  It is a 360 fixed outside stator and rotor setup in a closed loop.  I feel the latter is the key to success in this design. Unfortunately it is over 7 ft. wide and is very hard to work with and leveling it.  I need to beef up the rotor/table support it and make it level and stable.  A daunting task to say the least because of the width and weight it makes it unstable.  I have welded support beams coming off a car hub/wheel.  It has hundreds of magnets.  That is why I went with permanent ceramics so I could test the principal as cheaply as possible.  Right now I have most of the magnets off while I make leveling and stability repairs.  I have spent nearly two years from concept to first trial run.  Since it is a closed loop I had no way to stop it so I had to screw it all down, add the closed loop rotor and stator magnets, take out the screws and 2x4 board holding it from moving and voila! it started to rotate on its own albeit slowly.  It did slightly more than a 360, the rotor veered down on one side and up on the other (stability problem) and stopped.  So I look at it as a successful first try on this design and maybe some good things will come.  I remember reading that ceramics lost power over time in comparison to Neo etc.  and hope at least I can get this thing rotating in the near future all on its own.  When I return from vacation next week,  I will post a picture of my setup.

Thanks again...

Hello, below is the picture of my setup minus the magnets.  I just finished leveling it and my next task is to stabilize it via a pipe which will go through wood and into the wheel hub.  Within a week or so I should have the stabilization finished and another week to affix the magnets which always presents its own stabilization issues since they are at the outside perimeter.  Cheers all!

Reminiscent of some of Howard Johnson's work. Also looks like something Dusty would appreciate.

Good luck!

Yeah, good luck and keep in touch.

Hi hoarybat.

Great design and a very good shop I might say, thanks for the pic.

I just wanted to say, I wish you the best because I know where this is going so I won't apply to it. I just wish more people would get involved with Super Solar Cells, this is where the road is paved.

Good luck though, I just don't like bad news.

make 'direct' energy, don't use forces, it cost you plenty when you do.

Magnetism and Gravity are forces don't let anyone confuse you. Although I would still love to see your experiment, it will be grand, I know it.
