Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

[eavogels]

Eric, you can change the video format by simply changing the  name from ?TRANSGENERADOR ICYTI 2.gvi? to  ?TRANSGENERADOR ICYTI 2.avi? and then use VirtualDub to analyse it  frame by frame.

Thanks Micael.
Works great.
Regards,
Eric.

Hi friends,
Another way to download the videos from google is to using vdownloader
http://www.enriquepuertas.com/wp-content/files/vdownloader.zip
You paste the url of video ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6530358947613135242&q=transgenerador ) and click download

It work with youtube videos as well.

I donÃ,’t want to be a skeptic but after thinking about the video and watching it many times I found the video of the running motor a little puzzling in the fact that I have worked with small motors, drive lines, etc for some time and when the unit starts to turn it seems to almost start like there is a switch under the sliding magnet and the rotor is driven by a separate force. If I wasnÃ,’t tied up with my Tesla experiments I would fire up the lathe and start on the new cad drawings posted here. Guess IÃ,’ll just have to wait until I can build my own. I am in hopes that this is the real deal but as quoted:Ã,  Ã,  Ã, 

shame they didn't show under the table.....

Or better yet build the base from plexiglass.

Hi Camster,

Yeah the video is definitely not skeptic proof. The thick base the stators are mounted on has always made me wonder if he could be hiding some things underneath to turn the rotor. But I don't believe this is the case after thoroughly studying the principle of operation, which seems to be sound in my mind. The other thing is that his earlier models were built on much flatter bases (like the one he made on the top of a CD). If it can be done that easily, we all can do it. Right now, I'm also trying to think of the best "duck tape & super glue" way of making a model so that those of us who don't have access to fancy machine tools to also build one. My guess is that most if not all the pieces could be made with a jig saw. I will also make scale templates of all the pieces so we can download them and cut directly from that in addition to the CAD models.

God Bless,

P.S. Can anyone think of a simple way to make the ramp for the rotor cap? From looking at the videos, it looks like Torbay made his out of a strip of thin plywood.

Just a thought: Perhaps using materials in model airplane construction could be used to make the rotor with the ramp. A ribbed circle built from balsa wood capped with balsa sheet to follow the contour of the rib design , like the construction of a wing on a model airplane, the balsa sheeting should be flexible enough to have a changing slope based on the rib design. Balsa wood can be made very strong with a coat of fiberglass resin and would make the rotor very strong. Not duck tape but close, all products can be purchased at hobby shops and Canadian Tire at least for the rotor.
