Perpetual magnetic motor?

[nightwynd]

why can't it be that simple? I think everyone is getting a little too complicated with these devices...if a simple design works, that just means that it should be scalable to a larger size...which is what we desperatly need. Please post some updated designs or something for us to really chew on...or shoot holes into (constructively of course ) Pictures are nice, but some in-depth descriptions would be helpful. who knows, you might just be on to something!

Okay.. here it is. I tried to produce it today. And of cource it did not work The program "Working Model" has no friction in the "Pin joint" I think. That has to be the error. My new ball bearings has much more friction than 0. I also believe that they haven't been able to reproduce magnets either. The fluxfield is strange. It seems that the fluxfield is not logaritmic or something.

I used plexiglass as wheel and pendulum for my model today. 5 equal magnets 40x25x8mm faced to repel each other. I don't know how much charge those magnets has.
The wheel has 200mm diameter, the pendulum is 100x200mm with counterweight (dark blue).

I am not able to reproduce real life appearance with same specs in Working Model.

As I am writing, I opened a new sheet in Working Model. I put 2 circles on the sheet. One is radius 0.25m and weight 1kg. The other 0.13m diameter and weight 5kg. Charge is set to 0 on both. Then I put 2 magnets on left wheel and one on right wheel. Charge i set to 1.000e-007 on these magnets. Then go to 'World' and 'Electrostatics' and enable it. No other adjustments.
Then I click Run.

I will post a picture of this sheet when the program stops by internal error or has stopped... 

The reason for the idea was one wheel in balance, and one wheel that is overbalanced. That wheel will always seek to equlibrium. On its way against the wheel that is in balance, the balanced wheel has to move because of the magnets.  Sometimes the overbalanced wheel push the balanced wheel an picks up speed, and somtimes the balanced wheels magnets will push the unbalanced wheel to pick up speed.. and therefore never be stopped..  The balanced wheel will continue to move until it is intefered with the magnet from the unbalanced wheel. If the balanced wheel goes slower, then the unbalanced wheel will speed up and vice versa.

But thats in Working Model What am I doing wrong?

In theory I am using gravity and permanent magnets to move these wheels. The energy stored in magnets and the energy stored in gravity should make this work..

But in reality?

This was interesting. What about this image?
