This video provides an in-depth look at, and explanation of, the Test results generated in the XNOTE STOPWATCH results window during the elapsed time test as shown in video #36. I will also be doing at least 4 additional tests (off camera) of this rotor magnet layout in order to arrive at averages for the [...]

This video will show a live elapsed time test of the newest rotor magnet layout, in comparison to the results of the previous magnet layout. The XNOTE STOPWATCH software will be triggered on and off automatically, at the beginning and end of the test duration, by a mini lever switch mounted in a stationary position [...]

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 [...]

This video explains the modifications that are being made to the Pipe Dream prototype to enhance operation. The next video in this series, which I will try to post in another day or two, will show how several of the new mechanisms have been fashioned, and will offer a demonstration to show how they work. [...]

This video is a continuation of videos #22 and 23, and shows the configuration and testing of the second test track layout. A pull test is also shown, which demonstrates the resistive pressure encountered between the track and stator carriage wheels during the previous tests. The pull test shows that the resistive drag force encountered [...]

This video shows the various components of the stator tracking system as assembled, and explains how they work together to achieve stator movement. The procedures and methods for performing preliminary tests of varying timing track layouts are also demonstrated. The actual tests will be shown in 3 follow-up videos which are a continuation of this [...]
