Magnet Motor Toroidal Coil

[Poit]

I love all the replies (if only i could understand them haha). You guys are very smart, I am doing my best to keep up.

Does anyone know just exactly what kind of washer material he's useing and if theres somthing else that might work better? Here's an idea for an M.E.G. configuration: Magnets sandwiched between two wraped toroidal washers, with spiral pancake output coils on each end of the stack. Might make a very efficient solid state. This intrepid inventer achieved overunity doing somthing like that over here on youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQxL9W6gVG4

Hi,

I think toroidal cores would be good, see this link for cheap ones:

Strip wound cores like these: (ICH) 52425-1A  (ICH) 52356-1/2A
or ferrite toroids like (ICH) H5C2T31X8X1 and maybe this bigger one (ICH) MM-T225-6 here http://www.surplussales.com/Inductors/FerToro/FerToro-1.html

All these I listed will give very little eddy current loss when you pulse the coil wound on them, also they have very low remanence magnetic properties.

@Poit- Would you be kind enough to tell us what the core material is in the video?

Imagine two toroidal coils. Now after one's pulsed, it can pass it's power to the second one through a capacitor, instead of running the power into the ground for a net loss, as the video model does.

@Gula, thank you very much for your worthwhile links!

I was considering making an Orbo like device similar to the video - the trick is ensuring the stator and rotor magnets are in neutral attraction (or repulsion in this case) when the toroid 'gate' is not turned on. This is achieved by careful magnet strength selection in combination with the toroid properties.

Also I think a good idea is to use arc magnets instead of flat surfaced magnets so that when the stator and rotor magnets are opposite each other the opposing forces are in the direction of rotation instead of pushing on the rotor bearings.
