Hey yall been a while since I dropped in, I chatted with Mahnarch couple of weeks ago and thought I would drop a line here as well.
Did you know if you wind copper wire around a donut shape you can levitate a magnet I didn't know that till I saw someone doit, then I figured well that guy isn't that smart.... So I did it myself and wow just wow.
So Im looking for some people that know electrical engineering, meaning on how electric motors work and how to make them more efficient.
Currently I can make a diametrically magnetized magnet rotate at around 3k rpms, I have a lead on how to make it work at 8k but still waiting on info from the guy.
The torque on it is quite substantial IE I can stop it with my fingers but it hurts real bad when I do. once I let go the magnet self starts and rotates back to 3k rpms within a second or 2. I will be releasing youtube vids here this week on the designs Ive been working on an the power sources I've been working with.
So any and all critisizem is welcome but would rather have it be constructive.
Ive been self teaching my self electrical engineering so bear with me I may not know everything I should hehe.

I understand the magnet thing. Its the original concept that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. That's a toy I had as a child 2 dogs the magnet brought them together. if you turned the magnet around they would push away from each other.
They've even constructed trains that would be transported by magnetic force the track would change its pitch to move the train and heavy magnets would be applied for breaking. It wouldn't be a free source of power since there would have to be electric power to change the charges of the track to move the train on 1 direction or another. That could work and it has been proven possible.

It was fun to play with them. |

I used to have a toy magnet set where one magnet would attract another, while it pushed the other away and vise versa.

They make great toys for entertainment. Standing up paperclips with a magnet is fun. I've also heard of making motorless devises operate by magnetism but I wouldn't begin to understand the concept. Thunderbird would. I can tell you how to determine if a ball tossed toward you is likely to end up in the strike zone though.

Copper is a great conductor. My father used to bypass circuit breakers with a penny. Not permanently but to get through a day or 2.

The penny works for carrying electricity but I believe its the same as using a bolt to circumvent a fuse it could cause a fire. Obviously it doesn't cause it but what a fuse does is short circuit whenever an electrical overload happens. When it short circuits the power is turned off to that outlet. The penny or the bolt would not have that ability to shut off. Obviously by not knowing to shut off the overload would continue.

Oh yes you never should leave it that way. It has been done to get the circuit completed for a day or so.

Oh, yes,,,, I remember that phone call... (Maven was at the bar... lol..... ahem).
Anyway, he and I are both on (and have been on) the search for electro-magnetic propulsion and/or generation for years.
Now that we're separated by a 14 hour drive (or, 7.4 hours by Cessna) it makes it harder for us to co-op on projects.
...lately, I've been working on efficiency on hydro dynamics.
I'm at about 90% - meaning that the machine would need routine restarting/up keep.
Some day, Gadget!!!
Sooommeee Daaayy!!!

Ya Some Day.... Hopefully soon this thing has promise, I purchased a couple of Variable frequency, Variable Pulse, Pulse Width Square Wave Modulators, which should get that coil to hum around 10k RPM and alot more torque.
But alas I broke my setup with the turning of the large magnets and I have to rebuild it. So the next video will show a 3 phase coil 8".
Gotta love tech just gotta love it

 Any way to sturdy up the casing with wood? I haven't actually seen your frame. This is making me want to start my project, again. I realize now, that I'll have to mix my water with anti-freeze, though. |

lol Mahnarch I even made a video blog where I imitate Rosco and Boss Hogg.

Ive heard the saying "more copper" as long as I can remember but I have no idea what that means does anybody else know?

I'll have to peruse your vids, Phil. It's been a while. Kimm: I haven't heard that phrase outside of vitamin related commercials. I have heard of "more power" from Frankenstein movies. I've also heard that hover boards don't work on water! "You got to have POWER!!!"  |
