So this array config also does not work for my rig either .. i tried it with and without equal symmetry and filmed the equal one.
Check the compass .. unlike the last video where there was 2 sets of 16 and the compass rotated with the wheel ..
Here with equal symmetry in 3 arrays the compass stays pretty much still .. it jiggles a bit but doesn't move.

Sterling is sending Mylow some rotor mags exactly like mine ..
i wonder if Mylow will be able to make them work.

Until then i'm outta here.
Happy easter BTW

    Why don't you spin it with out the overhead magnet and then spin it with the magnet to see if the spin lasts longer?

  • petrox2500

    Thx .. We already know the stator produces drag as the aluminum disk moves by it. You can feel the eddy currents produced by the moving plate when holding a magnet close over it.

    The purpose of all this is an attempt to replicate Mylows disk results and to find if possible a rotor-stator config that self sustains and NOT to prove there is drag produced by the stator. If i were trying to prove there is drag the tests would have concluded in the very first video.

  • Q, too bad things turned out the way they did. I think you had a nice set up and thanks for the demo. Slinky

  • Q I think you are on the right track. Mylow's motor did not look all that hard to replicate. However, like a lot of things that look simple, they may not be. What I have found is many simple things can be the hardest to try to figure out. Complex things can be broken down and inspected in sections and then once figured out, put back together. In Mylow's motor, there is not much to go on.

    Like you say, get it to work first, figure out how it works later. BTW, your camera is just fine.

  • One of the problems I have noticed is that your camera is stationary. I think any real free energy device must be shown in a shaking video that pans in and out every three seconds so you can't tell whats going on. I thought you need to know this as this could be holding you back from your goal of a working magnetic motor. Anyway, keep up the good work!!

    Thanks for your explanation on why Mylow's motor should not work .. My replicated motor does indeed seem to abide by what we know of physics but If Mylow is able to get new magnets and get his motor running again THEN someone will need to come up with an explanation as to why it does work which may be WAY more difficult than many think.

    Cheers

    Q

  • I don't know much about magnet is any other than a a normal layman & I don't know if this has been discussed , but how about adding the same Magnet as is on the top bar on the other side? Would that not move the magnets the other direction too ? I would think that would be logical.

  • Q, I am not sure to who your comments are directed to, but Mylow agreed with HJ that symmerty don't work. I think this is why Mylows motor seems to work. His spacing between sets of magnets looks to have some irregular spacing. I think this could be a key to operation. HJ original picture from the magazine looks simple enough. The rotor was plastic backed with plywood attached to a skateboard wheel. Nothing high tech. But it worked just the same and that is what counts. Keep up the good work!

  • Now for the big ending: The roller coaster track is actually the line integral that I mentioned in another posting referencing one of Maxwell's equations. When you laid out the track you were actually performing calculus. Maxwell's equation says when you travel around the line integral of a static magnetic field you end up with zero net gain in energy, just like the track has to connect back to itself. The repulsions and the attractions cancel each other out, what goes up must come down.

  • Don't misunderstand the term "magnetic potential energy". That energy came from somewhere else, and is only temporarily stored in the magnetic field depending on the angular position of the rotor. When the disk is spinning the speed variations are due to the exchange of magnetic potential energy with rotational energy, all sitting "on top" of the initial rotational energy in the disk (which came from your hand).

    The whole magnet setup is along for the ride, it's not a source of energy itself.
