Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

Another question. Do you think the RadioShack rectangular magnets (with a central hole) will do or different kind of magnets should be ordered? I'm measuring those RadioShack magnets with a teslameter and am finding quite a bit of  discrepancy among them. I guess, however, that wouldn't matter in this particular construction.

Also, someone was asking how many should the stator magnets be? Recall Torbay has 16 in the first ever picture we discussed. Should we go for that or they should be less and how many. I may be a little ahead with this but maybe it's not bad to have this question in mind even at this stage of the discussion.

this one ?

if you decide to use neo's in this motor...    http://www.magnet4less.com/      ... has the least expensive magnets I have ever seen. I have  never purchased from this company(so I cannot vouch for their delivery time or magnet quality), but I  plan to in the near future. If you are going to have like facing poles, radio shack magnet will be much more apt to demagnitize quickly.

Feb2006, OK that looks good to me.

I think my design in Reply #305 is simpler, only one wheel on each stator piece to do the lifting and down puch
no wheel on the rotor no bevel on each stator piece only a up ramp a down ramp and hold down on the rotor (motor) cap.
