Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

[silverdragonrs]

many wire models (3d modeling) were shown on the argentina site..... if we could get a copy of those I think all problems would be solved! good to hear from somebody who knows mr torbay.

Hi All,
New to this forum, been reading up on this thread, very, very exciting.
Some questions if you guys don't mind. Where's the balancing for the rotor? What about the wear & tear of the mechanical system? This thing is going what? 100 rpm? And the lifting of the stator, approx. 1.5 times per second? How long can this motor go on running if it works?
Just my 2 cents.

Good questions. All we can say for sure is that according to the news articles, Torbay has one that has been running for over a year now so we are at least guarnteed it will work for that long. As for the balencing of the rotor. That's as simple as adding a counterweight. However, it shouln't be a problem since the magnetic fields from the stators are keeping it centered for the most part. Also, since the rotor is tall, putting a long shaft through it will keep it from wobbling too much as it is moving; and since the motor runs at low RPMs, this shouldn't be a big issue.

To give an "published"example about demagnetiztion:
The S.E.A.R.L.-generator,demagnetization and magnets change after 60.000 KWH work.
How many Kg did he used ?
We should not see demagnetization as physical problem,it is only a cost-factor !
(With the hope that China will not abuse their Neodym-quasi-monopol(-e))
Telling about 1 year permanent-work,with permanent 2,5 KW output ?
Probably Mr."Luis" or Mr.Torbay directly will give the answer !

Still working on my model. I found that the stator magents should be spaced far enough apart so as not to interact. The stator magnets need to be the same thickness as the rotor. If your using .5" thick block then the rotor should be .5", now you only have to lift .5" to get the rotation. I don't think the rotor should be 180 degrees. More like 120 so you only have a N/S pole plus little more on each end to get close to next stator lift position. I used a doughnut magnet and cut it down with a tile saw. When I lift one stator it rotates to the next and leaves the previous in the up position. Now when you lift next stator the rotor moves again and pulls down the previous stator. The cycle then repeats. It seems it takes 3 stator positions for this interaction to work. There are 2 pulling so there should be enough force to lift the one that releases the lock and creates rotation. I'll be building the lifters soon. Perhaps I'll get a working model.

Could it be this simple?
