I think the magnets to levitate can also work as the inductor does. You'll find more information if you look in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendocino_motor#Description. It's says there is an additional magnet that sits under the rotor block and provides a magnetic field for the rotor but in the video you can see that it's not necessery.

  • Hi there, that's a very nice model. Your design inspired me to make one out of Acrylic too. Can you tell me, is the center shaft made from magnetic metal?

  • The magnetic field from the support magnets on the base must be cutting the coil winding on the rotor. Otherwise ..no go. It is meticulously made and well balanced too.

  • Any explanations?
