Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

I'M STILL WITHOUT ANY IDEA HOW TO MAKE THE MODEL, I SEE TAO'S DESCRIPTION BUT TO MAKE THE SAME PIECES WITHOUT ANY VARIATION I NEED TO SEE SOME.

 Just a little about odd shaped magnets.... some time ago I needed an odd shaped magnet for some project and became frustrated in trying to grind one out... I smashed some ceramic magnets into little peices with a hammer under a towel.. I made a mold out of some thin plastic to the shape I needed. Stuffed all these tiny bits of magnets in the mold and held a super strong magnet next to the mold were I needed the pole to be, if you hold a negative pole to a certain side you get a Positive pole...All the little peices, which are separate magnets, will line themselves up perfect to produce a magnet shaped the way you want it with the poles were you want them... now to hold them in place.. super glue... it works ..I have done it..Now as far as this (Magnet Motor from Argintina)... Still watching this.. I will try a few things and see.. I have a problem with pushing a magnet from a attraction force into a repulsive one...  I have not read all the post on this motor so I might be repeating some of the same questions, does the outside magnets need to be odd or even in number? How many? I have seen pictures with 7 and more.   Thanks

Have a look over here:

There you can see these 2 animated GIF files that show you,
how the motor works.

Hello friends.
Sorry for my english.
I have tried to arm the Torbay's motor.
I used magnet of hard disk cut in halves and wood. The rotor is composed of a motor of hard disk and a cd.
The rotor has only one magnet, I tried to put more than one but didn?t work.
At the moment, the rotor move when lifting an stator arm, but it doesn't have enough power to make that the ramp lifts the following arm.
Also, the arm that faces to the rotor magnet remains lifted.

Then I will try to put a more potent magnet in the rotor and to try to reduce the friction of the ramp that lifts the arms.

Please see the images attached.

Some idea?
Thank you very much.

Hi Cesarc,

There are three big problems I see in your design. The first thing is that your stator magnets are spaced too far apart. You need to minimize the gaps between them as much as possible. The closer you can get the magnets, the more concentrated the overall field will be and the more torque the rotor will experience. The second thing I see wrong with the design is the size of the rotor magnet. If you check out Torbay's patent, he used a 180 degree arc magnet for the rotor disk. So you will also need to make the rotor magnet longer (rounder) so that it can interact with more of the field from the stator magnets. That will also help to increase torque as well. Finally, you need to either use longer stator magnets or put pieces of metal on the back of them to concentrate the north-pole field and move the opposing field farther away.  Using bar magnets would be ideal here but simply sticking a piece of steel on the back will help.

God Bless,
