Nevermind what I said about the springs I used. The real solution is to make the commutator as smooth as possible. If you do that, then rollers should work the best.

The conducting metal of the bearing will not have enough grip to roll without slipping. After 3 hours at Sears, I found that football-shaped compression springs are superior to rollers in this case. They will bend transversely (tension and torsion) when struck by contacts, reducing pressure on the commutator. These are rather large springs for this job (2" long and 5/8" wide in the middle). They produce minimal contact area, restore very well, and yet are not too stiff.

Thanks for bringing a Newman motor video :) I haven't seen any fresh one in a long time.

Works nice. So how many volts is it pulling or is it putting out? I was just thinking the contact brush could be some kind of copper roller (penny) to eliminate friction. Nice video but i still have'nt figured out David Hamel's engine after studing it for months.

@jasonmushersee Thats a good idea, to use a roller for a brush. I may have to look into trying something like that. Once I upgrade this unit, I may attach the shaft to a second newman motor to use as a generator to charge a second battery. In Joseph Newmans book, some 30 different scientists and professionals varified that his device worked.
