Screw Magnet Motor - No Joy.

Boooooo.. http://www.snovak.com/blog/My-Screw-Magnet-Motor-Project
For a more detail write up on this project and what drove me to under take it, visit my website. Also, check out this idea that I had: http://www.snovak.com/My-Blog/Energy/Gravity-Magnet-Motor-Animation.html

maybe it would work better if you use separated magnets in stead of actually single one...

[snovak1]

@jaculat I figured the magnet's polar direction and its attraction to iron wouldn't matter either way.

After lots of thinking about this stuff, I figured; I have a very creative mind. But, I'm no physics student. So, the best I can do is make suggestions that people haven't yet thought about and present them to people more intelligent than I.

That said, I had another idea, if you're interested to see it.

If you want it to rotate you have to add a source of energy, silly.

[snovak1]

@Desertphile Hahahahaa.. where were you 2 years ago!

[Desertphile]

@snovak1 ; I explained over two years ago, in a video on YouTube, why the original "screw motor" was a fraud. I explained why magnetic fields cannot perform work without a source of energy being added. If you wish the reasons in exacting detail, you might wish to view the MIT lecture series 8.01 and 8.02 available here on YouTube.

@Desertphile is that the "Physics for Future Presidents" or something like that? Those are great! I did look at those a while back.

so whats your point besides you laughing

[neeeeeeext2]

What you did wrong here is that you cut off part of the head from the screws and that you didn't used a more conical type of screw.

It is essential that those pieces of metal have a cone shape (so that the magnetic attraction towards them is not equal on the whole length of the screw, thus creating continuous movement).

Just replace the screws with more conical ones and you'll see it works!

pra que poster um video desse, fracassado?

I copied your setup and now I'm enjoying free energy! I bolted it to my car and now I don't have to buy gas, thanks man!

The problem with permanent magnets is that they are permanent. Sooner or later, the forces will cancel out during rotation. If there only was a way to "trick" these magnets to do work. Magnets can be great fun anyways :-)

[jaculat]

@snovak1 If magnets are connected work like one if separated magnetic fields are separated and works "only" on screws better.

[Desertphile]

@snovak1 ; But it's already been tried. Nothing you can think of will work: you need to add a source of energy before the drum will spin.
