A continuation of video #9, video #10 demonstrates motive rotational forces using the stator arm, and explains the magnet interactions in detail. For further information about the Pipe Dream Project, please visit the Pipe Dream website: rickspipedreamproject.uuuq.com

A continuation of video #8, video #9 further describes the stator arm components, and how the stator arm is aligned with the rotor magnets. Angles and measurements are given.

This video shows the same “cat’s meow” magnet configuration demonstrated in video #15, but here I lower the stator arm, from the previous 1.75 inch height above the rotor magnets, to a 1 inch gap. As can be seen, this dramatically increases the attraction and repulsion effects. The rotor quickly accellerates, after a few seconds, [...]

My purpose in this video is to clear up a common misconception held by several viewers of my videos, which is that I should be employing some method in order to counter the effects of so-called “sticky points.” I start by once again explaining what a sticky point is, and demonstrate how this – as [...]

This video shows a new wheel mounted in the Pipe Dream apparatus, and with the polyurethane rotor magnet space maintainers and polycarbonate timing track base applied to the rim. Work is definitely progressing, although progress has been slowed by the time consuming nature of fully documenting every step of the construction process. The builder’s document [...]

This is a continuation of video #22, and shows several demonstrations of the first track layout with progressive variations in tracking movement. By using the right end of the Masonite test arc as a fixed pivot point, and making the left end of the arc adjustable inwards and outwards, performances at varying settings can then [...]

This video is dedicated to the critics and naysayers who have continuously remained steadfast in their belief that all of the rotational movement witnessed has been somehow imparted on the wheel by the energy that is input by my hand movements. In other words, they state that I am supplying 100% of the energy required [...]
