Video #25, "Rick's Pipe Dream" Magnetic Motor-Generator Project

This video is a continuation of track tests shown in videos #22 through 24, and shows additional tracking modifications and testing. The second track layout is modified at the tail end to give less linear movement to the stator carriage, and the gap between the stator magnet and rotor magnets is lowered to 1 inch from the previous 1.5 inch gap. The reduced gap produces stronger rotational thrust, while the track modification reduces drag. Together, these changes do produce much better results than were previously possible. I will be trying out further modifications to the track system, which will consist mainly of utilizing short track segments between the magnet groups, and doing away with track portions that are currently used during a rotor group progression. Once set up and adjusted properly, I will spin the rotor up to 100 rpm with external means and then time the period of rundown to zero rpm. While this data will be useful knowledge, I do expect the rotor to eventually run down to zero rpm because of the lack of repulsion acceleration at the tail end of the rotor magnet groups. I am certain that additional means must be utilized to gain that desired repulsive effect, as it clearly won't be possible with the track alone.

For further information, and insight on current prototype enhancements, please visit the Pipe Dream website: http://rickspipedreamproject.uuuq.com/

Note: An animation showing the new MOSTAT method can be found on the Archive page of the Pipe Dream website, as well as an explanatory document link.

you need to get rid of the track and use a push rod a spring and a cam shaft

[TheRickoff]

@crazypjk You may find video #27 more to your liking, wherein the track is gone, and a push rod, or "linkage rod," as I call it, has been added. Cam action is too slow to achieve the desired pole shift of the stator at the tail end of a rotor magnet group, so a repulsive magnetic interaction would be used instead. Kind of a magnetic cam, you might say. Still working on that angle while I perform a series of elapsed time tests for various rotor magnet layouts.

I AM TRYING TO BUILD THIS

[TheRickoff]

@amcanmike Hi Mike, have you downloaded the builder's plans from the Pipe Dream website?

[TheRickoff]

If all rotor groups were north facing up, an additional pole shift would be required before each approaching magnet group. In other words, 8 shifts total, versus 4 with the alternating layout.

[TheRickoff]

@MrMatt027 @MrMatt027 Alternating rotor magnet groups of north-south-north-south is the most efficient layout for a moving stator or MOSTAT design. To avoid anti-rotational reattraction, the stator must be moved to obtain a pole shift as the last magnet of a rotor group passes by. This provides repulsion acceleration, and leaves the stator in the correct position for attraction acceleration as the next rotor magnet group approaches the stator.

[TheRickoff]

In regards to the Pipe Dream prototype, a rotational force can be either a magnetic repulsion or magnetic attraction effect which either accelerates or maintains speed of rotation. Conversely, an anti-rotational force can be any factor (magnetic, mechanical, aerodynamic, etc.) that slows or stops rotation.

rotational force? what is that

[TheRickoff]

I hope that you enjoyed the website and learned something there concerning recent progress. I never asked anyone to simply have faith in me showing the way. My purpose was to implement the Pipe Dream Project, and to make it possible for people worldwide to freely participate in this project, share knowledge, and be able to replicate the test prototype despite limited resources and skills. In that regard I have already succeeded. If you are anxious for reults, then join the effort.

[TheRickoff]

Instead of simply waiting for more test videos, how about joining the Pipe Dream Project effort, building a replication of the prototype, and doing some tests of your own? This is a world-wide open source project, and not simply dependent on my efforts alone. So seize the opportunity to take part in this project, or sit back and be contented to wait. It's up to you.
