Video #13, "Rick's Pipe Dream" Magnetic Motor - Generator

[ggibney0856]

Why can't you have a stationary N or stationary S with the wheel magnets having opposite force constantly repelling ?

[TheRickoff]

@ggibney0856 If one rotor magnet is repelling away from the stator magnet, then the next rotor magnet in the group will be approaching the stator and being repelled in the opposite direction, and this will soon cause an initiated rotation to halt. That's why a continuous rotor magnet layout, either with constant attraction or repulsion, will not work.

Most excellent work, looking forward to more...

[TheRickoff]

Hi Aquar, thanks for the comment. There are now 2 more videos posted, and more on the way. I don't know if I can supply a new video every day, since I need to get back to my modifications, but I will add new material as frequently as is possible.

thx for update,awesome work

[TheRickoff]

You are most welcome, mostar. I have 3 more videos to upload, and then I'll be taking a break for a few days to finish up my pdf document and install my flywheel and tracking system. If I hadn't started these videos then I'd probably be all done by now, but I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to build this device and jump in on the project with me. Nothing will be held back, and every little detail will be fully explained and documented. I hope you join in, mostar. Best 2 U, Rick :)

Nice design Rick. Have you thought about using a rigid pendulum hanging down from the top to mount your stator on? You could put 2 stators on one pendulum for opposite sides of the wheel and control it with cams around the outside of the bike wheel. This should offer least resistance.

[TheRickoff]

Hi perp, thanks for the kind words, and for your suggestion. I did consider use of a pendulum when I started in on this project, but opted instead to use a monorail track for timing. It is very easy to install and to set up properly, and the carriage assembly that will ride the track will be linked to the pivot arm that moves the stator magnet. Everything will be made as lightweight as possible, and I won't be using the stator arm any more. That was just for testing purposes.

[TheRickoff]

The stator arm will be converted for use as a generator coil positioner later on. The new stator mechanism will be located front center. I have it all worked out already, and have all the materials, so will go ahead as planned. The new stator assembly will still be on the crude side, but if it does the job (or nearly does it) then I will replace it with better materials (ceramic bearings, etc.). I would be interested in a drawing and explanation of your idea. Please send your e-mail add

Hi Matt, good to see you are enjoying this, and I hope you will take the opportunity to join the project and help move this cause along. With many sharing the work, and the results of their efforts, much progress can be made. Best wishes to you. :)

[mjones7947]

I got the magnets and the wheel. Now all I need is some time.

Cheers

Matt

[TheRickoff]

That's exactly what I need more of, Matt. :)

[apezak]

Thank you Rick!!

[TheRickoff]

You are most welcome, apezac. Stay tuned, as more will follow.

Rick

Nice demo of your concept

This is very,very exciting stuff.

You are opening many eyes ,and enabling all to experiment and learn with these Wonderful Open source video's

[TheRickoff]

Hi, Chet. Glad to see I am continuing to hold your interest. Are you ready to start building this apparatus? I am placing all the construction documentation into a pdf file that I will offer free to the first 50 people who are serious about replicating my apparatus. So if you or anyone else is seriously interested, please send a brief note to my inbox explaining your interest and your intentions.

[TheRickoff]

The reason I am offering the pdf documentation free is because I would like to see others join this open source project and help to move it forward with enhancements and improvements. If we all have the same build, then what works for one will work for all, and that is very important. If you join the project, you will also be placed on my Pipe Dream e-mail list and receive fast breaking news about latest developments. So be sure to include your e-mail address with your request for the pdf.

[TheRickoff]

The pdf file will be available shortly, and will include complete step by step instructions with high resolution photos and instructions covering each phase of construction, setup, and operational modes. Those in the e-mail list will also receive free expanded updates of the pdf file each time a new construction revision or enhancement becomes available.

[TheRickoff]

I would like to see many people building this device and verifying that everything I am showing and telling you is factual. I will, however, also make the pdf file available to those who would like to replicate this with the intention of attempting to disprove what I have stated. I am sure that offer will serve to quell all disbelief, because if you build this to my specifications you will obtain the same results depicted here.
