Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

[gn0stik]

Well, he said it was gonna be a while before he built his next model. With all his school going on and stuff and his lack of time as indicated before, it doesn't surprise me. Give the guy some time he'll be back. I've been where he's at. Low income, grew up on welfare, put myself through college, got a decent job to support my family. I can't imagine building PMMs back then. Or even having time to read the forums.

Yes, I found it, tao posted it a while ago, it was in the initial thread, that's what JDO used to make all his awesome drawings.

Here it is again, i'll go sign up and post it to that wiki. It's completely in spanish so.... Maybe I'll run it through some ocr software then through babelfish. Then normalize it to the best of my abilities.

edit: oops I guess you'll have to go back to the old thread and find it, it's on like the last page. this forum won't let me post it again since it's already here.

I'm going to assemble the rotor magnets with Neo segments.

be carefull with the polarization of this magnets you didn't pic the correct polarization, they need to be north or south inside the arc and out.

Hi All,
I am going to post over here now the private conversation I had with the User Omnibus
from New York, who has met Torbay.
As Omnibus did not answer anymore since the 21st of April,
I hope it is okay, when I post this information and I hope
Omnibus is well and alive...
Maybe someone from this forum living in NY can check on him.

Omnibus told me:


"I live in Manhattan and run an institute whose purpose is to offer post secondary science courses.
The goal of the institute is also to promote and  enhance science."

What institute might this be ?

Maybe someone from Manhattan know this institute and can call Omnibus up there
and ask him, what is going on ?

Many thanks.
In the nex posting I will send the messages...

Here are the messages , first the older ones:


Dear Stefan,

I met with Walter Torbay about a week ago. Unfortunately, he only presented
a non-working model of the motor. His explanation was that whoever has
replicated the motor in the US has placed improper stator magnets (having
S-N faces rather than only N). As you have noticed I stopped my
participation in this and other forums temporarily (until I see a working
model) because these forums are closely monitored by a number of people not
all of whom have good intentions and would jump at every opportunity to
attack Torbay. I do not want to give them such opportunity.

Torbay?s visit in New York was very poorly organized and in effect he lost
all his time here. Case in point, instead of making a presentation at a
prestigious university here, someone has organized the meeting to be at the
Bronx Community College. At that, it was so badly organized that practically
noone in the College knew of it and I almost missed it. I have an almost two
hour video of the meeting but I do not think it would be of any use to post
any part of it since the motor was not working. Torbay himself is the finest
young man but there are forces around him which I do not want to discuss now
which are obviously harming his cause.

I had a separate personal meeting with him and we decided that in the coming
days he should either come back to New York with a working motor which he
will present at my institute or he will send me a working model and I will
present it at the institute. If need be I will also go to Argentina myself.
Will keep you posted and, of course, if I make a video of the working motor
I will immediately post it in the overunity.com (by the way, he has remained
with the impression that the video of his motor is still on his website and
told me that he will see to it to restore it there if it isn?t).

The model Torbay brought was the well known wooden model. He insists that
the faces of the stator magnets must be concave. The rotor magnet is a
semi-toroid. The motor cap has the well-known sloping part and all the
stators have the well-known bevels. All in all everything was exactly as
expected and as discussed. Also, as Tao pointed out once, there is a
provision for turning on and off of the motor by pulling out one of the
stator magnets.

I think this is for now and I hope you will excuse and understand my
temporary absence from the forum.

Sincerely,

Omnibus
