This kind of motor would be better with horisontal axis of the rotor because moving the insulators in and out uses less energy and then their moving could be solved by the rotating rotor itself. Try to use LEGO elements!
Very cool experiment. As for the nay-sayers, it's a good thing that history's great inventors didn't listen to their ilk and just give up. Many great discoveries were made by accident while the inventors were persuing other ideas that were never achieved. It's amusing that the naysayers feel the need to go out of their way to tell you it's crap and can't be done. Talk about wasted energy. *lol*
You are close. What you need to do now is to put wedges under the magnets and a pole on the wheel so that whemn the pole hits the wedge it lifts the magnet out of the way. The way you have it set up it looks like the pole should be under the last or 2nd to last magnet on the rotor. Place a wedge under each magnet to lift it. like this. Imagine only the upper dot of the colon as it moves into the wedge THe wedge would rise as the dot moves to the right. ' :\ ' HArd to draw this in ascii.
I have abandoned this concept now as I think its the wrong way around. With life stuff and everything it could take me a good while to get it running.
nice but put a bevel rim around that wheel to lift it up for you and a spring to bring it down and finish the manuel work live the mecanical work! i hope you see the idea !;)
Kids have been known to enjoy spinning the rear wheel of their bicycle, turned upside down and pedals being cranked by hand. Adults who have outgrown such simple pleasures, put magnets on wheels, screw some hardware together and start pumping away with their fingers achieving an effect that's almost as satisfying as giving the ol' bicycle pedals a good cranking by hand.
looks neat so far, I think the next major step is to hook them up to servos and get a computer to monitor and increase speed etc. OR... train an octopus to do it for you.
are your mom and dad fighting in the back? no no i wont do it no, no OPEN THE DOOOR! lolololololol!

pushing it with your hand would use less energy.

I agree this thing seems to be a energy waster

have you ever heard something called an SRM Motor? That is what this is in an early stage of understanding by the human brain.

Thank you. Even if free energy is elusive I firmly believe its possible. Maybe magnets hold the answer maybe not.

Have you ever heard the term Switched reluctance Motor? If you heard it, you would not have wasted time on this experiment.

its an experiment with the ultimate aim being to create a motor that requires no external power.

looks like you're spending way more energy flipping those mags than you're getting from the resulting spin... newton wins again.

Is this really necessary? I think he should be able to build a CAM into his device, so that as it rotates, the cam lifts the magnet.
