Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

Hi Helmut

You are probably correct the same as many other peoples theories, but it is fun building it and if anything it proves to myself if it works or not.

Hello Sean

This looks realy after lots of work.And very proffessional.

If i have watched your wheel first,i told myselfe that it must also be Possible
to give the Rotorwheel a excentric shape and push the outside magnets,which are mounted on a linear bearing ,away from the rotormagnets,to have a magnetic gate.
But after thinking it over,i am not shure that it would work.

regards
Helmut

  Looks positively art deco Sean.  Never thought  door hinges could be so
attractive!  One thing I'm wondering about is the segmented rotor magnets.
Several posters have indicated that something needs to be done about the
back side attraction of the rotor magnets and seem to think this is one of
the "secrets" of the Torbay device - using a continuous curved magnet.
  I don't understand why that would make such a difference but maybe you
could try adding a curved steel plate to short out the back side attraction spins. 
  I would love to see this one working!

Looking good so far, you obviously had more time to yourself than me this weekend I was busy with doors and frames. The one bit of time I got was spent turning down the plastic rotor for my generator.
Will really have to try to put some time into my ou experiment.

Hi All:

Sean the design is so convenient , you can regulate everything,Ã,  being see through also lets you seeÃ,  more accurately how to do so.Is just an exquisit design.

I really hope it works that way , but what are you using for inertial force? what type of flywheel?, I think that is also a critical part, in your design I see that it can be a rised wheel which will allow you to keep seeing the adjustments.

Is definitely a good sign that is running as expected at least by hand, can wait to see results,because with ceramics I'm arranging the magnets like yours ,hopefully this time they will be strong enough to run the flywheel, and also will proof if we have a runner or not.

Thank you for posting your great work , is very inspirational

Good Luck

Hi Glenn

On the Rotor I have used 9 * 19mm square flat neos and they are end to end with North facing outwards, If  I run a magnet around it does seem to form a continious force as expected, so hoping it does not make a difference.
I know what you are saying about have an arced magnet as the original Torbay, but to tell you the truth I think it is more to do with the kick you get at the end of the arc that drives it forwards and also the sticky point is at the front of the arc that is gotten around by the lifting of the first magnet each time.

If I use my hands without the top hat to control the Levers, it does indeed have a fair kick to drive it forward and easly lift the first magnet and so on, which gives it alot of promise. It is reducing the friction on the top hat that will be the test I reckon.
I am going to cut out some wheels, but would love to find a supplier of small 12-14mm wheels that have a small 3mm bearing.

I am also tempted to replace the wheel that lifts the front magnet with a magnet so it pushes it up and that way we reduce the friction as well, it will create another sticky point but that should be minimal.

Will play more when back this weekend.
