Here is the coil not pushing away the magnets.

  • Well you need to have one + one - one + one -. Then you have a polarity switch at the axcel and put the coil up to it and it should spin

  • Thanks for the advice, this was one of my first videos since then I have them spinning up to 23,000 rpm :-)

  • you might need a core on the inside of you coil like iron,if you have them all set to oppose the iorn core will attract the rotor while the coil(when the reed switch activates)will repell.

  • Thanks,

    I have updated to a new core ( as you can see in the next video ) I have fixed that problem as well. So good to have good advice!

  • I have purchased a new compass ( the other one was defective ) and all magnets now face outward north. I was able to run the motor now for over 40 minutes. HURRAY! but now I am burning out my reed switches. I now have a relay on order. I am looking forward to getting it in.

see all

  • Wow thats very cool and also i was wrong i didnt read the pulse part

  • Also I looked up the definiton of Transistior:

    A transistor is a semiconductor device, commonly used as an amplifier or an electrically controlled switch. The transistor is the fundamental building block of the circuitry in computers, cellular phones, and all other modern electronic devices.--

    I am wondering if the function of the transistor is as a switch or an amplifier in the loop?

  • I did attempt to try to figure out what is north with my compass but it seemed to not give me an accurate reading when I pointed the magnets to the compass. As I understand it North would be if the south side of the compass would come to the magnet.

  • Hi Ishkabibile, no, I did not have the transistor connected, Actually, I don't know the correct way to set it up. I have hooked up the transistor, but did not see any results after doing that. I am wondering should I have it hooked to the positive lead or the negative lead inbetween the coil? Or can you point me to a circuit diagram that could help me thanks!

  • Is the polarity set for all north?
