The Magic Rotor

JALCO alloy wheel has only 16 spokes (12"X230).
The video clip shows how to assemble the Magic Rotor. There is a video clip entitled " the bicycle wheel generator with magic rotor." Watch it and read the description as well.
In looking at the pictures, you should be able to see that the rotor is made of 8 identical magnet holders. The magnets are located above the rim. In attempting to make your version of the rotor, you will take into consideration the size of the magnets that you want to use. By example, if your magnets are 3" in diameter,
You will need to make the holder tall enough to clear about 3.5" above the rim since you do not want magnets or coils to touch the pressure bolts. In the video clip, the attractive magnetic force is the only thing holding the rotor together. If you happen to use this primitive prototype rotor model to build an alternator, you will need to replace the wood with other materials that are not affected by humidity.

Some people will declare that you cannot possibly get enough power from this generator. I will simply remind these people that power of the magnet is what matters.
For very strong magnets, you can consider using motorcycle or scooter wheels that have hubs that are stronger and have stronger axles.

In this "lab" model, I used a JALCO wheel that has a yellow label with these words on it:
JALCO 6061 ALLOY Made in Taiwan 10" X 203.
I contacted the company and asked about the wheels. They wanted to know how many I needed. I replied that I could use 1000 wheels in one year. They simply ignored me.
It does not look like these small JALCO wheels were made for bicycles. I found some on ebay, but the dealer could not guarantee a steady supply. Since I could not find a steady supply of small wheels with a narrow rim, I decided not to improve the design. I now focus on using just bicycle wheel hubs. If you know a source for these small wheels, please let me know. The narrower the rim the better
Thank you PRPaul
Note: If you stop the video tape, you will be able to see the round magnets that are attached on the wider section of the wood paddle. First, I started with a disk. Then, I cut the disk into four sclices. The elephant head shape that I ended up with allowed me to avoid the spokes when placing the narrow part of the paddle behind the flange of the bicycle hub. As the magnets attract each other above the rim, the narrow part of the paddle is pushed against the inner part of the flange. The magnetic attractive force between two paddles facing each other, forces the paddles to behave like levers. I drilled a couple of holes through which I inserted a couple of bolts to help keep the paddles in place as the wheel rotates at high speed. But in this video clip, the rotor is held together by magnetic forces alone.

Ha Ha ever heard of magnetic coupling?,funny how after you aliened it with the hidden invisible field it spun up and reached a constant velocity.as the driving magnets or field you used to power it.wheres it hidden ?

Hi! In general, it is always a good idea to read a few of the previous comments before you write one yourself. This is why companies usually have pages of FAQ (Frequently asked Questions).

People who build permanent magnet alternators are familiar with the term rotor. A rotor is not a motor.

[HANDBALLDIEHARD]

Oh ok its just about rotating magnets to experiment with an alternating pulse ac generator.yea its fun experimenting with basic electrical concepts.an even more interesting experiment would be to demonstrate to people the invisible power of magnets by placing 2 of these parrallel to each other,spin one and the other will be motivated to turn too,thats what i meant by magnetic couple.many videos faking perpetual motion things use that trick to give the appearance of it.

Hi! You have me thinking about magnetic coupling. Do they build magnetic clutches? If you search for "Magnetic Levitation Windmill" you will find something that you like. I suggest that you build one and take it one step further by adding a third magnet in the middle. On many occasion I stacked up a few small doughnut magnets with a pencil at their center while the magnets repelled each other. I am sure that you have done the same. I'm trying to use smaller and fewer magnets.

Buy some neo magnets,small super powerful,also there are neo magnets in computer hard drives,if you take them apart,lotsa bad ones around that are worthless but good for scavenging parts,those magnets in HD's are very cool they are North South on top and bottom on either end and reversed at opposite ends,also they are curved good for building circular objects.I heard if you can create a strong enough mag field of repulsion it creates anti-gravity !,it is highly top secret info !

[generatorblue]

I recycled lots of hard drive magnets and I purchased lots of neo magnets. I used neo magnets in all my alternators. But, I bought a set of 1 1/2" diameter by 1/2" tall neos and decided that I was not going to build with them because they just scared me. When I built my first set of rotors 5 years ago, I was using ceramic magnets. But the rotors came together and trapped some skin from my hand between them. I was alone and it took 30 painful minutes to free my skin. Thanks!

@ 0:22, you dropped your weed

[TheRealDealinlife]

That is somthing that works!!

[HANDBALLDIEHARD]

Dam that much neo magnet deserves respect,i think they can crush bones and fingers too,OCH,

A rotor is not a self-powered wheel. A rotor is part of an electric motor. Rotors and stators are the two main parts of motors and generators. I named this one is "magic" because it is easy to build with hand tools. Eventually, I will assemble the "magic" motor and will not need to give it a spin. You can watch the "bicycle wheel generator with magic rotor" video to see the rotor together with copper coils generating a little bit of electricity when I give it a spin.
