hj "proof of concept" III

With a new 18" alum disc in double bearings tried different configurations of sizes and distances in stator magnets and found out that this setup most efficient (by lengths of run): distance btwn stator magnets equal to width of rotor's magnet.
Let see what second row (offset) would do, and then to see how second magnet on rotor will affect this maximum torque/
The goal - to find maximum accelaration.

Sorry my friend but magnets act sort of like coil springs with bearings on their tips. No way to make a motor with those ingredients. Just an amazing variety of stuff that almost works. It's very frustrating!

@4sineweaver2

"almost works" - very well said, I agree, thks, that's why mylow used a fishline to make it working...

I'm trying to get working by field commutation or flux shielding, so far it's "almost work" :)

[Mopozco]

Not yet, all I've seen are with radial magnetization.

Rotor mag - 3/8x7/8x2, but it's not critical, i'm just wondering how it could be possible to create enough momentum to overcome SS (sticky spots), it's a mistery, it can't be done; but Mylow...

until somebody makes something that works and then we will give all the credit to alien visitors from outer space. LOL

[4sineweaver2]

Well, I can't argue that. Ultimately, we don't know what the heck anything really is. I could only add that it seems like everything is created in pairs.

I guess we'll have to hope CERN can at least send us in the right direction. History suggests that we're blinded by the precepts of our time. I'm sure that's a battle every inventor fights.

well your description of the observation certainly makes as much since as the scientific one. And i mean no disrespect of your description of observation. My point being no one really truthfully knows for certain what magnetism even is.

unless you believe in particles that can be everywhere at the same time , thats the horseshit i was taught

[4sineweaver2]

Yeah, you can't make a motor out of only "springs." And if you go to first principles, and look at the origin of a single line of flux, which eminates from a single electron, you have to realize that if you could remove any energy from it, it would probably cause a major change in the electron.

I'd rather everyone devoted their efforts to exploring the limits of what you can do with a magnetic field. Scientists already do that, but as hobbyists we could look for novel applications.

Try adding another magnet on the opposite side of the disk.

Great start. I think you may have to add some weight. I think Mylows disc was about 12 lbs. He would only place a few magnets at a time and then test for cogging. If it did, He would go back and rework the cogging part only. No two magnets spaced the same. Any way, great starting place. Also Mylow said his rotor magnets were from Radio Shack. But I went through a bunch of old catalogs on line and could not find the exact ones he used. So I am not sure about the magnets. I will watch and learn.

Hello Mopozco I like your stator magnet configuration. I think your motor will work with time and trial and Mylows help!
