Have you tried this one?

Thanks Jesus. I am going to use that design, with the camshaft being made of an eccentric (half moon) shaped iron, and at the end, I'll use a magnet that repels as shown in the photo you gave me. I'll let you know if it shows any promise whatsoever...

I spent this weekend attempting to replicate this design - without success. I had previously looked at this but realized that the shape, size, and properties of the 'flux blocking' device (in addition to the relationship with the stator and rotor magnet strength/size) were crucial to any possible success. The attempt at replication confirmed my theoretical conclusions - that if this design were to work, you would need to either custom cast the iron flux blocker, or have access to many different shapes and sizes of iron shapes that could be experimented with. For the amateur experimenter such as myself this is not possible. My replication used a large ferrite toroid for flux blocking.

I have not seen an actual replication of such a device - only drawings attributed to John Bedini. The attraction of this design to me is its simplicity. It does not rely on any electronic configuration - all you have to do is make sure the flux blocking device is of the correct shape, size, and flux blocking properties (of course assuming the negation of magnetic forces is not equaled by the opposite pole so that reasonable rotation speeds/torque can be achieved).

I tried to replicate it too and could not replicate it.
