Magluvins Magnet Motor MMM Being released for open source developement.

[Magluvin]

This is a motor that I have been playing around with for a while when I have time. So far my second to final build had a serious error and the final need to be corrected with custom mags or built according to what is available.
Here are some vids of the idea to get started. My next posts will show some pics of the endeavor thus far.
I think I was just getting burnt out on it. But I feel a session of waves coming in to ride and also give some others a chance to see what I have come up with.

This vid was of the had made build that was flawed by 2 stators being engaged with the rotor at the same time.

When the stator mags are in a position the the poles are aiming horizontal, they have very little affect on the rotor mags which have their poles vertical, until the angle is changed thus changing the polarity of the stator causing rotor movement

One more vid of the mech close up in action. The latches were necessary to hold the mag in position till the next switch. The spring are from lock tumblers from a lock smith. Each stator operated the same as the others. Some of my best work.

Here is a graphic representation of the switching cycle. If you look carefully, all mags are in a positive push/pull situation in relation to near magnets, other than the stator that is about to be switched in relation to the rotor mag approaching it.  And also a pic of all the parts before assy. All the screws are torx machine from a few hard drive scavengings.  The white plastic parts are made from 1/16 and 1/8 in. pvc panels from a hobby shop.
All parts were hand made using fine jigsaw blades, razor knife and dremel.
