The Bucking Magnet Motor

According to this article, China reduced their export quotas on Rare Earths
by 35%, so the result is the price of neodymium magnets goes up by 35%...

But now Japan has found new sources of Rare Earths in the Pacific...

I think I am going to wait a while before I buy more magnets.  I want to see
how this stupid market bullshit plays out...

WOW really nice work, especially since all done by hand.

Good stuff mate

Cheers

Thanks, I appreciate it...

I am striving to make an industrial grade device.  Only building prototypes
now, so my manual control tools are sufficient.  But, in the future, if I need
to go to a production level, I want to get a CNC Vertical Mill, and a decent
Metal Lathe.  Actually I could use a Metal Lathe now for the DiaMag8...

So, maybe I could think of a few accessories for your Modular Rig...

what about this idea?

my idea only use's one magnet sphere and is a little easier to build.
i think this will help you with your generator!

your motor may fail because of eddy currents slowing it down from the aluminum!
Google eddy currents.

Gee Eroutt, you must be psychic...
I just received the magnets to finish off the rotor.
Just fixing to drill and tap the rest of the rotor
magnet holes.  Your design does look significantly
less costly.  Maybe I tries it...
