My Perendev Replication

[Low-Q]

I work in a machine shop with some pretty smart guys.  we are not engineers though nor are we physics majors.  we do believe that the Perendev design would work if all of the bugs were worked out.  we built this motor a few months ago right before i stumbled across overunity.com.  we used 0.5in x 1in neodymium magnets and it does not run.  we set it up in repulsion and have tried a few different combinations of magnets in the stator.  through researching this device i was blown away by all of the different devices and ideas that people have come up with.  if anyone has any input good or bad i am all ears.

Nice work, but I hope you know that angled magnets are not more productive than straight ones. You cannot change magnetic directivity that easy. A magnetic flux isn't a moving mass that squirts magnetic energy in one direction. Magnets are a closed loops of magnetism where pretty much nothing happens as long the magnetism in the magnet isn't changing - like in a permanent magnet. Permanent magnets contains only potential energy. No work will be carried out if this potential doesn't change. If it do, the magnetism in the magnet would rapidly degauss and be useless in seconds if the motor should work based on magnetism. But keep trying for learning at least

i have read about the magnets degausing and i am not convinced that this happens.  if you can point me to some convincing evidence i will be happy to read up on it.  we angled the magnets because the patent called for angled magnets.

These statements are based on appearance and conjecture only.  I challenge you, Vidar, to deguass a neodymium magnet with any method other than heat, structural or chemical decomposition, or a robust capacitor array!  And suffice it to say that Neos are soon to be relegated to relative ceramic magnet status.....as new materials breakthroughs are providing dizzying results as we speak.

You do know that Perendev motor never worked don't you. He was a con man. He has finally been arrested. See: http://pesn.com/2010/04/24/9501640_Michael_J_Brady_arrested_for_embezzlement/

The 'problem' with neos is that they do almost not degauss. But you need degaussing to harness the potential energy in magnets. So how can a magnetmotor work without this?
