MyLOW's Magnet Wheel Replication 1: Layout and Early Testing

Gaah! Hours to upload and then YT screws up the aspect ratio! Sorry about that. ANYWAY...
Here's a start on my replication of MyLOW's wheel. I demonstrate the typical "start and run" performance that we've seen from a lot of SMOT and wheel builders, like MyLOW and excel60 to name a couple. Can you believe that some people call this "self-starting!!" It's true--check out excel60's vids for example.
But I'm just using a couple magnets in a simplified arrangement, to illustrate the testing process that I have recommended. This procedure will tell you if your magnet motor is really running or not.
Of course, if your motor runs 20 hours and the Men In Black come and smash it up, I guess all bets are off. But until that happens, before you go spending a bunch of money on more magnets, maybe you really ought to try some control experiments...like this one.
Some numbers: The weight on the string is 50 grams. The starting height of the weight is precisely one meter. The rotor magnet weighs 35 grams, and so does its counterweight. The timing on each trial is from weight hitting floor until all rotor motion stops.
5 consecutive trials in the "running" configuration (stator installed): 121.09, 119.53, 122.03, 124.09, 122.16. Remove stator magnet, 5 consecutive trials in "control" configuration (stator removed): 164.22, 167.47, 171.69, 158.32, 170.06. Mean rundown times: Stator present = 121.87 seconds. Stator absent = 166.35 seconds.
Clearly the magnet interactions and the eddy currents are dissipating energy. In spite of the first appearance, the magnet motor does not run with the magnets in this configuration. And I'll bet (along with lots of others) that no matter what magnet configuration I try (or you try!) it won't truly run with any of them.
Of course, I'd love it if someone would
PROVE ME WRONG!!

by the way, you have a nice lab, so why dont you simply try to shild S-magnets? there are alot of way to shield a magnet, for sure the best is superconductor. so for example, if shielding doesnt cost energy (at least much lower), should a p-motion work?

That's not my lab, that's my kitchen. My lab is too big to fit in my kitchen.

Sure, if you had a free way to shield a magnetic field, without the shield itself being attracted to the magnets, and you had a free way to move that shield back and forth, and if pigs had wings and could fly, then you could make a perpetual motion machine out of magnets. Maybe.

And if I had lots and lots of money, I'd be rich.

And if I wasn't so ugly, I'd be beautiful. And if....

Hi, nice Test, but could you tell me why your Ushape-Magnet is placed wrong and not like on mylow-Vid?

and why you have a repulsion at 4:38 in the second direction, where mylow doesnt have it? actually this one looks like fake. sorry

[TinselKoala]

Just keep on watching my videos. Eventually you will understand. If not, I'm sorry. Actually.

theres always room for good folks around here, if the economy cant handle it we look out for each other.you ever lived in the swamp?best huntin is rabits and hogs...the deer are about the size of a german shepard!!!the girls are kinda ruff,its always 420 here so if it sounds good to you come on down to the green swamp...the way florida should be....

[TinselKoala]

I like the sound of that. Feral hogs are fun, especially the big'uns. We've got a few in East Texas still but they are getting rarer.

I'm good with dogs, not so much with grrls but I'd rather sleep with a good dog anyway. From what I see in the background it looks pretty peaceful and green. I guess the mosquitoes get used to you after a while and don't bother much, I know I'm not as tasty as I once was!!

I'm more desert than swamp but I am adaptable.

The stator makes it worse ah ha ha ha Mylow
