Russian magnet motor

[gn0stik]

The repelling force between the two magnets will always be smaller than the attraction force between the magnets and the steel. The reason for this is because the steel is always closer to the magnets than the magnets are to each other.

Sure, but don?t forget your sliding the steel sidewise away (in 90 degrees to the magnetic "forcelines").
When you have to magnets stucked together, what are you going to do to separte them. Would yo try to separate them by pulling agains the direccion of the magnetic force or would you try to simply slide them away from each other.
I think you would them slide away from each other. But why you should do this, even when the force is the same.
Try it out and you will see that it?s not the same.

I think that this design is better than Torbay?s design. Torbay?s Motor seems to me like a donkey-truck pulled by a carot.

Aside from the fact that torbay's motor probably works, and this one cannot possibly work, I guess it's just a matter of preference.

Yesterday I try a little experiment.
Simply to replicate with a piece of wood,two Neo?s, a kitchenknife (stainless steel) and a kitchenbalance.
Please take a look @ the picture.
The 2 Neo?s are repelling each other.

A. I press this "setup" (F1 on the balance) without the knife between the gap on the balance and depending of the gap I messure 300g to 3,2 Kg = 3N to 32N.
With knife I need only 400g = 4N till the sliding Neo stucks to the knife. (knife shielding??? Yes Sir!)

B. I press the "setup" this time with the knife (F2) on the balance and I messure only 300 g 3N till the knife begins to slide on the Neo.

So what can be a better shield then this stainless steel knife??
When you calculate 4 N for push the Neo on the knife and 3N to pull the knife out of the gap and perhaps thinking about friction losses add 4example 5N, so you need round about 11N to create 32N ~~1:3 .

Please tell me if I did something wrong in my experiment.

No,it is allright !
This is also the "physical macro-demonstration" of the
MEG-function !

Try a thin sheet of solid lead. I'm curious what happens with that.

@2Tiger,
where is the the kitchen balance in both experiments and what are you doing exactly in
experiment A with the knife ?`

I did not exactly understand, what you want to do.
Please explain in more details.
Many thanks.
