Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

how does the wedge system work.... i wonder if a magnet fixed to the bottom of the rotor n side out running under the lip of the stator magnet "elevating magnet" (i hope i understand what the stator is)........ wouldn't this push the elevating magnet up as well only without friction.

The levers of the stator magnets have slanted bevels which allow a wheel attached to the rotor to lift the corresponding magnet, That?s the essence of Torbay?s design. Someone else here proposed to replace these bevel with small wheels attached frontally at the stator levers and to have a profiled ramp to raise the lever at the appropriate time.

Hi all, sorry for the not responding site and 404 errors, but the last 2 days my forum made 18 GByte traffic per day and only 17 GB are allowed, so it is shut down sometimes per hour.
Probably someone just linked to my big video files.
I am currently just at my PDA posting this and will fix it tommorow. I also already did a few first FEMM simulation, which I will post tommorow. Maybe Tao could please post his Bryce file, cause then I could use it also for a few changes. I am not yet so much used with Bryce to make my own models, but would like to learn it soon. Many thanks.
Regards,Stefan.

Tao, I saw your FEMM pictures. Can you make a graph with the stator magnet surfaces concave and three adjacent rotor magnets with convex surfaces facing the stator magnets? This is to compare with the ones you gave with flat surfaces. I wonder if it would make any difference. Thanks.

What is the easiest and cheapest way to make a prototype from a CAD drawing to machined parts ?
Is this Emachineshop or is there a better solution ?
Where can we buy the right magnet for the stators and the rotor ?
If we create maybe a GPL open source Emachineshop file for the motor, every private person can order this design and can easily build his own magnet motor...
What do you think ?

I also thought eMachineShop was a great thing but it seems pretty expensive. I tried it yesterday and even simple details were over $100 a piece. Maybe if we make a large order it will be cheaper for everyone. Also, maybe because I don't know it well yet, it doesn't seem too flexible when trying to draw more complex details. Have you tried it?
