Hello, nice to meet all of you. I have read all posts here and fully understand Peters motor and have seen his dvd. I've also built many motors including one like Peters original, only with 4 rotor,6 stator for 3 phase, of course since it wasnt machined and i was just testing the principle torque was rather low.
What brings me to post here and even though its not strictly attracting a piece of ferro metal is the adams motor odd-even geometry of which im not sure exactly how he had it wired other than series coils, i noticed a similarity between his and butch lafontes back emf cancelling idea. because when one magnet approaches opposite coil which is out of phase to other magnet, the other magnet is leaving the coil. Approaching magnet is wired attract mode, one leaving wired repel mode would also cancel or reduce much of the back emf. tests show with dmm & analog amp meter that little current gets through. the design im testing is 6 stator,7 rotor magnet w/ 2 rotors sandwiching axially the stator plate. Tests show good torque with only 1 phase so far and it leaps to full speed at 24v,1.5A no load. 2.2A full hand grip on shaft. I praise the work and interest you folks have in this field because energy is everything and will have our unlimited sources soon enough. I hope my thoughts are of any help, peace.
