Video #23, "Rick's Pipe Dream" Magnetic Motor - Generator Project

This is a continuation of video #22, and shows several demonstrations of the first track layout with progressive variations in tracking movement. By using the right end of the Masonite test arc as a fixed pivot point, and making the left end of the arc adjustable inwards and outwards, performances at varying settings can then be compared. This results in two types of data for each test:
1. The overall track variation, in inches, between the first repel point and the second repel point. The first test begins with 1 inch of track variation, which will move the stator carriage 1 inch if the rotational movement continues from repel point 1 (start of test) to repel point 2.
2. The percentage of rotational travel through a rotor magnet group. Since there are 10 magnets in a rotor group, each rotor magnet that passes under the stator magnet has achieved 10% travel.

Fine, send me a layout diagram of your sugested path.

I'm telling you a path for the magnets instead of moving the stator would work better

Thanks for the kind words of support, syndrome95. All of this documentation, in the videos and the builder's documents, really slows down my progress, but I feel it is essential to share this information with other replicators who are participating or otherwise interested in the project. Any useful data, whether positive or negative in nature, will help others to advance and enhance their own builds while avoiding duplications of non-beneficial methods.

Thanks, centraflow. Even when results aren't as promising as we hope, it is important to show them, as all results help point the way to achieving the desired end. As long as we can learn something from the test results then we can move the project forwards.

thanks for all your efforts Rick. You post maybe the best and easy to follow experiments I ever watched on You tube. I look forward to your next installment

excellent Rick, very methodical, it all takes time and you will get there in the end, 5 stars
