Magnet motor in Argentina

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
here is a quick drawing I just made of the principle
of the Torbay motor.
As I am not at home, I don?t have my scanner here and
I needed to digitize with my PDA camera which was a bit blurry..
Anyway, I hope the idea gets through.

The lever arm is probably not wide enough drawn.
The lower 6 o?clock stator magnet must be lifted up, shortly before
the 2 rotor magnets are in line with the 12 and 3 o?clock stator magnets.
Then the lever arm must release the 6 o?clock stator magnet down again
and must lift the 9 o?clock stator magnet,
when the rotor magnets are in position 3 and 6 o?clock.

I have drawn only 4 stator magnets for better viewing, but it is
probably better to build it with 6 stator magnets at least.
The springs must be beneath ( under) the stator magnets and
they have to be this hard, that the could pull down the magnets
again, when the rotor lever arm has moved away.

I hope it gets clear a bit from this blurry picture.
If you have any question, please post.
Thanks.
P.S: Maybe it would be good to have a 3rd rotor magnet inside this
drawing at the 9 o?clock position ! Then the repelling forces would be even bigger !
The lever arm is also drawn here wrong, as it must be under the stator magnet to pull it
up not down as here drawn... sorry...

I?m sensing a lot of envy and aggressive incompetence in these Spanish forums. That should be ignored. The facts are making them look like fools.

Stefan, I don't think springs are needed. There must be some kind of profiled shaft which turns together with the rotor and lifts and releases the magnets at the right moments. That shaft I think is the trick.

Omnibus, I think, indeed springs are needed to store the energy
of the lifting of the stator magnets.

Otherwise this energy is lost and the rotor also must supply this energy to pull
the stator magnets down ! I think it will only work with springs.

Read my theory of operation posting a few pages back here, where I describe it
as a superposition of 2 principles.

Regards, Stefan.

Why is the energy of lifting lost? The magnets fall pulled by gravity and this is how they recover the energy spent to lift them up. Unless, you want to make the motor independent of gravity. But then more energy is needed to lift the magnets (once to overcome their wieght and second to extend the springs). It's possible, though.
