  • Is this a minato machine? I am just curious?

  • Engine:

    1) Charge the coil when the magnet has just passed it, that pushes the rotor.

    2) Next magnet reaches that coil, cutoff power supply. That would cause a BEMF, but because a magnet is in front of it (which takes away the stored energy) there is almost no BEMF.

    3) When the magnet has passed, re-apply power. Because the magnet has passed, the previously stored energy in coil is restored and you need very little extra energy to charge coil

    4) use rotor for extra energy

    5) goto (2)

    Like that?

    1. When the coil is charged the rotor is effectively in 'free wheeling' mode, not pushed.

    2. When the charge is removed, the magnets on the rotor are re-attracted to the cores of the coils. It gets 'pulled'

    It's kind of the reverse of a normal pulse motor.

  • @ SteornOfficial - When is the next demonstration going to take place?

  • It seems the website isn't being updated with next experiment dates anymore, when can we expect the next one?

    I'm looking forward to seeing some actual input vs output demonstrations. Until then it all sounds great, but all we've seen is a motor running from a battery... looking forward to seeing the good stuff but it's slow in coming!

  • Sean: Have you considered using "black sand" as your core material? It has been said that it resists eddy currents, can change polarity extremely fast, and does not retain remnants of field. (ala Bill Muller) Keep up the good work! =)

  • Just curious. There seem to be many critical posts about this experiment on the "other" forum. Are you allowing polite critics to post their remarks here, even if they disagree with your conclusions? Thanks.

  • Was there a change when you applied the magnet to the coil. That was not shown. After stable there will be little to no change.

  • Yes a small voltage current due to the EMF caused by the approach of the 'biasing' magnet.

  • And no one stumbled upon this phenomenon before?

  • Good experiment but pity about the t-shirt... But once I put on a pair of sun glasses I was able to watch it... :)

  • Does n´t Max have a Technology Terrorist shirt? ;-)

    I think Sean has one.

    btw.: Well done video and very understandable (in regards to content and speaker).

  • The spreadsheet at the end shows current and voltage values on the left to 5 significant digits, but the variations in these on the right show that there must be a further 3 significant digits. Can you please show the current and voltage to the full 8 digits so that the variation values make sense?

  • Is there an HD version of this coming?

  • @mildside - the quality of this version will improve a lot - the video is still being processed by YouTube.

  • @SteornOfficial - thanks.

  • @SteornOfficial - the spreadsheet at the end shows absolute voltage and current values to 5 significant digits, then the variation is calculated to a further 3 digits. Can you please show the current and voltage to 8 digits so that the variation values make sense?

  • Hi Mildside - as with all the experiments the data will be released into the public domain.
