Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

how do you reduce friction?

Simple - Get rid of parts that are in contact with each other.

Torbay design with NO RAMPS to lift stators. Well sorta, at least they don't touch.


I advanced the timing and it will lift 2 stators with the inertia.

I noticed that there is a lot of energy wasted when the stator lifts. Now if if we can use this to store the force until the rotor passes we can use this to place it it back down.

Madmaxx, nice setup and video - great idea to use additional rotor magnet to raise stators.

Suppose you put another repulsive magnet behind and above rotor to force stators back down? I see you
had to apply a fair amount of force to push the stators down, but an additional rotor magnet should
reduce the amount of force required - of course, the more magnet fields added to the system could
cause unexpected issues.

I want to try to replicate Torbay's design, just can't find the time to do it.

Very great info

Thanks

Hi Madmax,
it seems from your video that you have as stator magnets
the wrong magnets !
It seems you have 2 ferrite magnets on each stator segment
which are normally polarized noth-south at the big surfaces, right ?
But you need to have e.g. north pointed inward to the axis , so
the polarisation must be 90 degrees to your current polarisation !
So it is no wonder, that you don?t have big forces
onto your rotor...
Please let us know, if I am right.
Many thanks.

I would recommend the 90 degree option I have the same magnets Madmax and the rotor moves with great force and inertia, both if you can see I had to add a secon half moon magnet to the rotor so the force would be enough and the stator magnets lift up very smothly almost not applying force and a little more force is needen to put them down as well.....You can se that in my movie as well ,nonetheless the magnetic lifter idea is a great ,also the one about a wavy cam .
My cam is heavy made out of a plastic wheel for a lawnmover, my setting sitted on a plastic dish make it bend to one side due to magnetic force so for me right now is not a go.....I'm rebuilding with with wood platform and lighter spiral cam.
With my hands anyway I realized that the heavy cam could be moved once balanced......I hope I can make it work.regards

A north pole is pointed into the rotor. I could turn the stator magnets 90 degree and increase the flux that is directed to the rotor. But I was having problems keeping the stators down. Perhaps I could cut the corners with the tile saw to reduce the interference. I think I saw this in Torbay designs.
