This video shows the results of populating the added 4th arc plate with magnets. I also show results and comparisons of 2-plate and 1-plate configurations.
Hey Rick Ive been following your progress
how about scraping your stator for a coil that you can switch polarity much faster then you could mechanically. you could use a cap to store the energy and release it back into your circuit. in this way you can align your magnets for optimal performance while taking advantage of the potential power which could move your wheel faster. the potential collapse of the field and polarity switch gives you just as much power without losing a beat.
@rapinduke101 That would be too easy, lol. Must stick to the plan, which is operation by magnetic and mechanical interactions only – no electrical input.
I understand ill be watching and learning as you go through the trial and error process. , its kind of like a distributor cap on a car, getting the spark (or flux, in this case) to fire at the right moment to get everything runnning smoothly. your stator swings side to side what about having it also bump up or be pulled up by a second spinning wheel in video 25 you had a rail what about a wheel keeping the stator down and ending when it has to bump up, then hitting it to keep it down to attract
@rapinduke101 I don’t want to complicate the build with a second spinning wheel, or with anything that moves the stator by being struck, as such systems will of necessity require being driven by the rotor, thus diminishing rotational thrust. I do, however, plan to experiment with an up-down movement of the stator that would be similar to the motion shown in video #3. This would require dropping the stator into a rotor magnet group, and then lifting it after it passes through the group.

Looking great my friend and thanks so much for posting,I remember the first file of this, man its come a long way

@ashtweth Thanks, Ash. Just doing what I can, as often as I can. I’ll keep at it, you can be sure of that.

@TheRickoff so when do we see more videos
9. July 2010 at 7:11 pm
@w3h3h3h111 Soon. Had several honey-do’s to take care of.
