FAKE

ON what grounds do you think this please share as with a vacuum chamber and the right set up with better speed testing equipment I'm thinking about aiming at higher rpms as I have already gone faster than this vid 95,000rpm.

My goal is 500,000 I think this is possiable unless I find some flux effects from the high speed rotations that may be a problem as this is what I'm trying to find .

@AVAMagneticlev For one thing you may get Lenz effects from surrounding substances (perhaps even the pyrolytic carbon itself) and you will get a breaking effect and heat generation. Not to mention the magnet itself not being able to hold itself together as it may already be unders internal strain. It should be possible. For one thing it may even be better to spin the magnet as a homopolar motor... just my uneducated 2c

Hello sorry to take time to respond needed time to think.

If I hit the right speeds for the magnets size I may get a breaking effect.

And yes the right size magnet at the right speeds may come apart but this can be stopped with magnets with a thicker coating or just use smaller magnets to reduce the internal forces.

and I'm always looking and trying to think up other ways to get the speed in a vaccum.

But at the very high RPMS we may even see or be able to show a gravity drag effect on it.

Thank you for showing interest and having a look and thinking about what may happen next at higher speeds.

When I can aforrd to I will be doing this EXP again witha new setup and much more speed and also better rpm metering..

[tobedotty]

how dig are the magnets you use? what is their radius?

[AVAMagneticlev]

The large ferrite lifting magnets are 150mm dia

and the magnets being levitated are about 12.5 mm dia

I love laser tacos!!!!

[deaftodd]

now try to put a shaft on.

[omichron420]

mmmmm, laser taco....yum.

[wololo10]

the taco is broke

I want a laser taco. it sounds futuristic and tasty
