Hilden-Brand Magnet Motor

Nice thinking Jack.

I am wondering however, how it is possible that the same power is required no matter how strong the magnet is?

It seems that the stronger the magnet, the more energy is required to "buck" the magnet's field to force it around and through the armature, rather than the sleeve. If that's the case, then there would only be one combination of magnet strength and sleeve thickness/permeability that would match the 8 Watts of power energizing the coil.

Any deviation from this would mean either power is being wasted in the coil due to over-bucking the field, or you would not be diverting all the available flux from the magnet due to under-bucking it's field.

Therefore, to maximize the efficiency, the power used to energize the coil should be emperically or mathematically determined.

As I mentioned before, this is a variation of the Flynn et al method.

Hello All,

Well here it is  The Hilden-Brand electro magnetic valve.

Later,,,,JackH

Jack you surprised everyone I think by showing it now before your patent is approved (or has it been approved?).  Simple design and effective.  Nicely done.  Congratulations!

I wonder if 'Jake' is still following the board to see a design that uses magnets?

Hello JackH,

many thanks for posting this now. It is really an admirable and simple idea. Congratulation.

Out of curiosity I just put four neos (12mm with hole) in suitable washers to see whether they can be shorted. Well, seems neos with hole wont work. Mine cylinder still stick to the refrigerator (probably wants to cool down in current sweat . The magnet should be definitely without a hole as is on the picture.

all the best,

Kudos for posting that Jack.
