  • hahhaahha.. .lol!!!

  • Where did you find that thing...or did you make it...Its pretty cool, does it have a name?

  • that is awsome!

  • wow, another magnet toy, LOL>

  • Magnets are just invisible springs, returning as work or electricity. You'd have to add the energy of push the lever back and forth - Kcal's or Btu's, your choice.

  • as a Great movie Character once said "the force be with you."

  • Could you use a third magnet in the wheel. All three spaced evenly might work.

  • Could it work if you used a 2nd unit back to back with the first each one retering the slide?

  • To keap it going you can make another replication and place it next to this one. Link them to each other in a way that they propel each other with a crank that sits on the rotor and moves the stator of the other one.

  • no

  • yes , a longer running one is possible with extra energy input, just wobbling the stator 1 or 2 mm from centre is enough to get continuos rotation, i am trying to figure out a way to measure force.

  • for the measurement of force you could try a crank hooked up to a small model electric motor to drive the sator, linked to a multimeter to measure the input. And exactly the same type of motor, to act as a generator, linked to the shaft and again linked to a another multimeter to measure the output?

  • Do you think that with some additional mods you could have a longer running version?

  • interesting, if you had some kind of force meter you'd be able to measure how much force it takes the move the slide and how much force is produced when the slide comes back.
