Magnet motor in Argentina

[Omnibus]

OK, I gather you mean your simple_magnet_motor_drawing.jpg. As far as I understand you?re replicating the bevel variant with the wheel attached to the rotor. The motor cap, as far as I can see, allows faster lifting of the stator magnet than its descending. I kind of agree with that. Shouldn?t you have more than 4 stator magnets, though? It?s interesting to make a FEMM simulation with your four-stator scheme to see if it?d have enough torque.

no sorry i only put four as an example... i have eight on my device (look at the pic again, see the "hooks" where the other four would be ) sorry

Thanks, tao, Now I get ?7.35571 N m which is pretty close to the previous value. Is this the value that you get?

i used a flat piece of alum sheet cut to match my magnet and glued the magnet to it then curled the hinged end around and ran a good stif wire through it for now. it moves up and down freely and was simple to make
