Magnetic Bearing test

[connor12345678bob]

i want to fingerboard on that plate

[NavyJonTheManimal]

Ok, two years later.... where's the update?

[Magnetmad]

@NavyJonTheManimal

Check out my other videos!

Cheers

[ykpunk]

@Magnetmad, its yatharth kapoor from india. can u pls give a brief on how the set up has to be made? waiting fr ur rply... :)

[deepcut66]

Really really nice. What is S/L ?

(its Gary from ou.org.uk)

[Magnetmad]

@deepcut66

Hi Gary,

S/L is self leveling should there be anything to level to....

Cheers Dave

[deepcut66]

@Magnetmad

Cheers Dave, i feel daft now !

[GEGP744]

Nice Job how did it ever turn out?

[Magnetmad]

@GEGP744

Hi, still not got round to making anything better..stuck in the learning phase but not given up yet

Cheers Dave

[decimator22]

Probably not the best idea to have this anywhere near your computer. lol

[NohbdyThere]

If you could put magnets on the shaft of the pole and on the inside of the disk, you could have a zero-friction unit...In a vacuum, at least.

[dasraiser]

@NohbdyThere 3pole magnet? two norths on the end and a south in the middle?

[NohbdyThere]

@dasraiser Nah, east pole on the inside.

[dasraiser]

@NohbdyThere scratches head :/

[Magnetmad]

@dasraiser Yep, Sorry u lost me there! compressed magnet field+ lifting or wieght bearing..

Cheers dave

[Magnetmad]

@dasraiser Yep thats about right, there are other ways i have tried, that work a bit smoother

Cheers dave

[DarkStarSkater151]

Skateboards need theese.

[ncranfill]

place magnet onto the disk with wire coils above and below it so that while one or two coils keep it running the others produce power.

[leoxy64]

Another ahole that wont share his findings with us. Everyone is sitting and experimenting the same tings. Thats wy these techs never will be anything more than experiments.

[Magnetmad]

@leoxy64

The design here is not hiding any secrets; I have filmed it so everybody interested will see the basic idea and maybe build on it, saying that it is part of a much larger project that I am working on.

[MrCaptainDerp]

Use a Frisbee next time. :P

[idealhomesrealestate]

If you had this running in a vacuum, presumably it would run for much longer, like days and days??

[PhotonDrive]

MagMad: If you put 6 magnets below (in star), facing 6 above (same pole facing those below), when wind spins it they all move together! Between them 9 coils fixed to form simplest 3-phase system - direct DC output. Much more efficient than "stator around"). Construction demonstrated at YTube "Mag-Lev Air-Turbine Car Generator - FS1". You can see that expanded version can power Mag-Hub Wheel Cars! No Fuel/No-Grid - essentially magnetically self-propelled: Doesn't need "overunity" & is stable.

[seokjin49]

Wow that is sso amazing how long does it keep rotating?

[Magnetmad]

@seokjin49

Hi, thermal dynamics brings the device to a standstill after about 2 hrs, the friction however is very low and some modification to the edge of the disc would increase’s the running time to maybe twice that.

This test was only to find a low load bearing for a project that i am working on

Cheers dave

[Guddah78]

hello, please tell me how can i reproduce thist kind of magnetic bearing?. Thankyou

[Magnetmad]

@Guddah78

Hi sorry its not available at this time

[olympicrodriguez]

what stabilizes this in the plane of the table surface?

[Magnetmad]

@olympicrodriguez

not quite sure what u mean? its in a magnetic field top/bottom are equal fields with no side leaning hence no friction above +- 2%

cheers

[voxmagna2]

is there away to make it smaller a support 10lbmax vertical. like using it as a truck wheel?

[Magnetmad]

@voxmagna2 Sadly the earths gravity would pull so much as to cause friction equal to that of a metal bearing setup, i am however still looking at side holding from a differant view point..

[miki1900]

perpetuum mobile?

[Magnetmad]

@miki1900

No this is the bearing setup from my M2R  Harvester, none contact attempt 1

[xxx777aaa]

yes it is fantastic, finally came acrossa GOOD SIMPLE EXAMPLE.... just a glimpse into the future right, i wanna help throw cool random n crazy ideas into the mix too! like a magnetic frictionless (or very super low friction) hub bike/motorcycle/ car, wind turbine, solar thermal vortex.............

[cryptopumkincarver]

@xxx777aaa how about a super magnet engine car

[dedly13]

if you make these do not use a metal axel. the metal effectively is turned into an electromagnet and this feeds back on ur bearings

[Magnetmad]

@dedly13

Hi , yes that would be the case. But on this setup there are no bearings, its trapped between the field of the magnets above and below. Cheers Dave

[holywdtughguy]

are you working on an ORBO, love to know if the setup is all magnetic or

dose it sit on a center pin??

[Magnetmad]

Hi,

The center pin is fixed, but it does floot on a magnetic ring. No I am not working on Orbo but on a project called "A2R" Should be posting very shortly the first results

Cheers

[allrightenergy]

@Magnetmad Hi

Can you show me your A2R? I went out and bought a lathe!!! Thanks, Bob

[Magnetmad]

Hi allright, what lathe you got?

[Magnetmad]

@allrightenergy

Check out my lastest vid for the update on the M2R project

Cheers

[daimyo2k]

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?!?!

[salzahrah]

howd u make this

I NEED TO NOEE

[maxspawn6]

this guy may be bored enough to create this but magnetic bearings were invented in in the 1970-80s in france...nice parlour trick

[Magnetmad]

Not meant to be an invention, but an observation of the smooth running of such a setup--Walla!

[allrightenergy]

Hi Magnetmad,

Can you tell me how to build one? Is the center axil spinning or is it stationary? It really is the best one I ever saw.

Thanks, Allright

[Magnetmad]

Hi Allright,

This is part of a bigger project which i wil be posting shortly..The shaft is fixed

Cheers

[herbienbrian]

weeeee!!

ha, that was fun.

[harryfodder]

The drag force is reduced significantly if the spinning wheel is properly balanced. Traditional bearings allow the unit to be slightly off and still work good. Magnetic bearing system & vacuum = very high speeds with virtually zero frictional losses.

[Magnetmad]

Hi,

Ok so its bearing for you, and magnets for me. But not to be missed is the fact that bearings " metal on metal" are subjected to more friction then somthing that runs on an air bed "Air on Air" ?

Cheers Dave

[abhimanyu5]

its not bad but i would still not trust magnet bearings.

even if you installed it, i would still need the traditional bearings as fail safe incase something goes wrong. so might as well just go with the traditional bearings.

[Magnetmad]

Well not quite, the center shaft holds the thing together the trick is to reduce the friction on the shaft so the disc floats and this in turn gives it the smooth running you see in the video

Cheers dave

[peacehorn]

stick with you're beloved little balls then. I don't trust these newfangled gadgets myself so I always tow a trailer with a camel for when something goes wrong

[frank260332]

Hope your hand is not as sore as Al's thumb got. 8-)

[frank260332]

I realise it's not being driven now. But you had to get it up to speed somehow in the first place and an airline is the most gentle way of doing it - so I assumed that was how you got it up to the rotational speed shown in the video Was it? Or was it the fairies. ;-)

[Magnetmad]

Hi Frank

Of cause no fairie's here, Its was spun up by hand 1 whip just like with Al's whipmag..

Cheers

[frank260332]

I imagine a compressed air line aimed tangentially on the edge of the disc is used to bring it up the speed so the performance at high speed no load can self-loading can be measured.

[Magnetmad]

Ok this is only a test to see if the bearingless disc will run for a longer period then 1 with bearings, as it happens this will run upto 5* times as long,once rolling it will just keep going (low friction) because it runs so smooth I have loaded the vid up so we can see the progress..Cheers

[Magnetmad]

Watch the paper?? no compressed air here?//

Cheers

[WaveCycles]

Can you share the design specs of your magnetic bearing? It seems like a great design.. Thanks..

[Magnetmad]

Wait up not finished yet, Cheers

[dixiepnum]

what is driving this thing?

[Magnetmad]

Its not being driven at all, it just likes spinning on and on and on and on....Cheers
