Magic Magnetic Coupler for Tesla CD Turbine

The Magnetic Coupler is the part that enables useful work to be obtained from the Tesla CD Turbine. The Magnetic Coupler attaches to the outside of the CD Case, and rotates magnetically with the magnetic CD discs inside the turbine case.

In this demo we see an example of the amazing powers of neodymium magnets and magnetic fields, which can attract...even in "repel mode."

The CD Turbine and Magnetic Coupler magnets are repelling, so when placed between each other the fields interact so as to provide a strong centering attractive force. Check out the video to see what I mean!

What are those large grey discs, and what do they do?

[MrfixitRick]

@musicmaster8 The large 4.5 inch discs are CD/DVD discs. There are 6 of 3/8 inch neodymium magnets glued on top of the CD's, and 6 more magnets as separators between each CD disc in the disc pack.

[musicmaster8]

@MrfixitRick but on the magnetic coupler disk not in the turbine there's 6 silver disks that are about twice the diameter of the magnets.

what are those?

btw, I'm making that water vortex for a school project.

@musicmaster8

Ah, yes, I get the question now!

The white (looks silver) discs on the magnetic coupler are Teflon pads as an experiment. When everything is properly adjusted and running, they aren't so necessary.

Good luck with your project!

Thnks 4 respondin. Get the laser speed gun out. It will B A great xperiment (IF U CHOOSE 2 FOLLOW UP). Producing an idea is productive n' reoproducing an idea is reproductive. MayB glue blocks as spacer's Btween th CDs, n glue bar magnets round th circumference that repelle from a magnetic coupler that surrounnds it. coupler may also be powered by a shaft thru th centre wit bearings that produce enough power ( capacitr, coil ect) to make an electro magnetic coupler. Possibillities are endlesss!

[MrfixitRick]

The possibilities are endless is right. There are lots of interesting combinations that can be done with spinning magnets. I encourage others to experiment with magnets. Rotating magnetic fields are the way of the future.

People ...Please forgive me. I have said some foolish comment for this video.Because before I don't Know MrfixitRick Is a nice person with brilliant mind ....So I must say sorry again...an again

MrfixitRick represent the whole middle class Family , and showing us the way that if we believe in our self then we can do anything...

And sorry for the bad English..

[jupy921]

A really cool idea. Interesting how certain magnetic arrays have this sticky null spot. Pretty cool that you have taken advantage of it as a magnetic clutch. Nice work.

[nudeteawithwoodreaux]

i think the reason they eventually stick is because they are thin magnets. there comes a point where the strength of the attraction overcomes the repultion fields.i have a 6x6x1" magnet 602lbs pulling force. if i was to put a 5/8"x5/8" cylinder neo mag on thereit will stick oround the outer edges. if i want to remove it i have to push it to the center to remove it. its like there is no megnetic fiel there

Video is good ! For more Tesla tech pls watch video: "Tesla cold electricity" by HorizonDelta.

[Hillzy8593]

and even upside down... -falls off- oops i take that back..

very informative

[MrfixitRick]

Possibly. Hard to glue on the magnets, though. Bar magnets or blocks might work. It would be a good experiment.
