Stop touching the wheel and let us see it spin. 4 videos later and some 40 minutes of watching your videos, you never demo your wheel. Just give it a spin and let us see what happens. You're all tell and no show.
Is it possible to use an electromagnet instead as your starter magnet? I'm thinking that if you could attach a bar or tripping device on the bottom of your wheel at an appropriate point which would be used to throw a switch to turn on the electromagnet. Use another trigger to turn off the electromagnet on the back end of the series. Would the wheel speed up faster and faster or simply find a steady rhythm?
Yes and no, pdt. You could use an electromagnet at the braking points shown in video #2, to provide quick pulses to overcome the braking effect and maintain rotation.
Since I am building a pure magnetic and mechanical device, I will not use any electromagnets, and they really aren't needed. Continue watching this series and you will learn why. :)
Hi Mart. You are absolutely correct, and I will replace the labeling. I guess when I stayed up for two nights in a row making videos it was bound to show. :)
nice.......5*..... we waiting more videos/tests

Patience, lad. Go to video #5 and you will see what you are asking for.

Rick, I believe your hard drive magnet is mis labeled. North is attracted to South. Your video shows north attracted to North...

I'm very sure that this is not going to work.
