My friend Wantomake...Originally posted by wantomake View PostMadmack,
Judging from I Ufo's post, and from the many tests I've run, is it possible for a simple shop to build this test rig to perfect measurements?

MadMack,
I would think that the tolerances needed for adjustment of distances to perfectly balance a rotor/staror combination like you are talking about (when magnets pull more than they push) require some pretty detailed machine work that most folks here are not going to be able to afford to have done and do not have the equipment to build on their own, so most builders have been eliminated from this project before we get out of the starting gate.
I'm not one to discourage, be negative, and never give up. But I did get the same square 1/2" rotor, and same 1/2" x 1" stator neos. Same ramp design cold then hot rolled steel. I just want to face reality here. I'm working with simple tools, no CNC machines or high cost precision equipment.
Don't want to waste space here, this thread is very important.
What do you suggest for us lower income replicators? And yes I've read and studied each post you've left us.
Thanks very much,
wantomake
I don't have a CNC...I only have a small Chinese lathe bought at Harbor Freight for 500.00...all the rest I am doing it by hand...I cut the ramps steel with a hand saw...even though I do have a few Dremels with carbide wheels...is more precise with a fine blade...
What you really need is precision...and to use feeler gauges that you could buy in any auto parts for less than 10.00...
I have made simple tools for alignment of this line...comprehending/inserting it in the center shaft, some kind of a clear plexiglass ruler with a perfectly traced line through center.
I am sorry if my post caused you to think is too hard to make but it is not...believe me.
Regards

wantomake,
It says "Senior Member" by your name. Now we know why! LOL. As we are the SAME age, I can relate.
I am out of the country for two weeks and just finished moving my mom to California, so I haven't had any time to work on this, but have been scouting for metal and ways to get the ramps made. I have a friend with a CNC, so precision cutting of the parts is NOT an issue, once we have determined the proper shape, so I am following the discussions with interest. Once we have settled on something, I can get a set made to test.

Hey it's only been 5 weeks. After the initial skepticism there's a learning curve you know. Just this morning BroMikey made a statement about a momentous accomplishment, but for some reason it looks like nobody caught it except maybe tachyoncatcher.Originally posted by boguslaw View PostWhat's up guys ?
can you post now something that works ?
I'm very impatient

Cheers

Keep watching video in the meanwhile we work...

Impatient for something that works?
Then keep enjoying my video while we are all working here:

Magnet Motor Revelation
And by the way...give me at least one "Thumbs Up"...

WOW, you guys are ancient. Just kidding. I am 63 and soon to be 64. I am watching these builds with much interest because over the years I have built many magnetic motors and have learned some valuable lessons from those builds. When I have time I will build this one too. For now I haven't any square neos, all round. I do have many square ceramic, low strength magnets. I will have to purchase some square neos before attempting this build. Good Luck. stealth

Hello, Mad Mack, and everyone working here.
I will put my hand up for oldfartedom, at 61, being a 1954 mod.
I have limited funds at the moment, starting a new life, and farm from scratch, but will have a go at Mack's motor, using an old Coil/motor testbed, I built years ago.
I can fit double 13" rotors in this and the build is sufficiently strong to have very close tolerances between rotor and stator magnets.
Need to wait for magnets to arrive before machining rotor.
Thanks for your disclosure Mack.
Warm Regards Everyone, Cornboy.
