  • rotor

    Hi Gyula, Sorry - my quick drawing was not very detailed. I was imagining bearings on the three contact rotor positions, where they meet the larger hub. Allowing physical (rolling) contact of the brass with the dual aluminum surfaces, along with conventional center shaft and bearings (stainless balls and plastic housings). I'll assemble some more images.

    In the linear design; the rotor needs physical contact with the aluminum or copper rails, it needs to rotate at a reasonable RPM (tests indicate 1600-2200range or more) through the magnetic fields.

    A different consideration was to have a fixed outside housing, allowing the stator portion to "rotate" in the opposite direction of the spinning rotor. In some of my early attempts, problems were created by "conflicting" magnetic fields. Fields that were "spread out" in linear and not an issue.

    I am considering building another semi "linear" design, more like a "roller coaster" with full 360 degree loops to study the concept more in depth.

    • Rotor/Stator Polarities

      Hi Barry,

      In early posts of this thread (#29 & #30) you share your polarity design and show photos with the rotor and stator marked as follows:
      • Rotor: North poles out (to the track exterior) and South poles in (to the track interior)
      • Stator: South poles out (to the track exterior) and North poles in (to the track interior)


      In later posts (#64 , #68, #97) you share additional design details, and show the opposite:
      • Rotor: South poles out (to the track exterior) and North poles in (to the track interior)
      • Stator: North poles out (to the track exterior) and South poles in (to the track interior)

      • polarity

        Hi CR, Yes, both polarity sets work the same. As long as the balance is maintained. There are also many minor variations that work as well in the magnetic layout. As you probably can see from the five or six different tracks shown in videos and images.

        The layouts that are the most desirable, are the ones that provide the most speed. For example, a copper set of rails (better conductor) was faster than aluminum (more expensive too). There was also a small track I made with additional PMs parallel with the track, that had an extra "snap" to it.

        I suspect that the "unipolar dynamo" effect is one of the more significant apsects - which seems dependent on the rotor RPMs reached (min 1600 - 2200) range from what I have learned - so far. It's only speculation (and 10,000 hours practice) that this specific action dominates (versus the several others).

        If I recal, I read somewhere that this "action", like others in Particle Physics, seems insignificant yet has a dramatic effect in the equations. I'm auditing some particle physics courses at the moment, considering we are not getting any input from the people in that field. You have a keen eye, I'm glad someone is paying attention!

        • Asymmetry / Broken-Symmetry

          Hi Barry,
          Unfortunately I'm not a Physicist, so I cant help you with the technical feedback you seek in that realm. As it is, I've had to brush up on my basic Physics just to better understand the research I've undertaken in permanent magnets and their potential to perform work with no outside power source.

          I'm hoping you can clarify something for me with regards to terminology in this area......

          Throughout your work (and others like Johnson, Bedini, Bearden, et al) I see the phrase "broken symmetry" or "asymmetry" regularly used. However, I can't seem to locate a clear definition as to exactly what this means (or refers to). [i.e., a plain-English definition that can be understood by a non-physicist garage-experimenter/armchair-researcher.]

          After several weeks of digging, I think I have a pretty good idea on what's meant, but in some instances the terms seem to be used in a slightly different manner.

          1) In most uses of the terminology it seems to refer to the creation of an imbalanced set of electromagnetic fields (flux) due to specific geometric arrangements of the stator & rotor magnets. Something along the lines of:
          • Symmetry = stability = balance = magnetic lock
          • Asymmetry = instability = imbalance = overcoming magnetic lock

          So.... in essence, it refers to the imbalanced energy fields themselves of the PMs due to physical arrangement. (asymmetry as a cause)

          2) Other times it seems to refer to the dynamic actions themselves, that are a result of that imbalanced geometric arrangement. Referring to something akin to "opening a window" or "gate" for tapping the Universal-Environment's quantum energy. (asymmetry as a result)

          3) And at other times (particularly Bearden), the term seems to be used to refer to sub-atomic interactions --- a sub-atomic imbalance/asymmetry. (asymmetry as a fundamental/micro source for the macro result)

          (I hope I described those such that they can be understood, and I apologize if my understanding of these concepts is convoluted. )


          ---> From your perspective, what do you mean when using the terms "asymmetry" or "broken symmetry"?


          I appreciate your help in clarifying this for me (and for all those who may benefit when reading this thread in the future).

          Thanks for your help!

          • Copper Stator = Best; Copper Rotor = Poor?

            Originally posted by Dean2 View Post
            I tested brass and aluminum rotors, both worked, brass performed better. I also tested copper which was very poor. I tested steel, also very poor. Plastic does not work at all.
            Hi Barry,
            Since you've determined through your trial and errors that this whole track assembly acts as an electric conductor while in motion, I'm very surprised that copper was a poor performing material for the rotor!! (Particularly since you found that copper was best for the stator rails.) Why do you think that is?

              • Copper versus Brass

                Hi CR, The brass is available with very thin walls, the copper is a bit thicker. It's very possible that copper could make a better rotor than the brass. In this case, where the brass performed better, could be due to mass.

                • Regauging magnetic potential... breaking symmetry

                  The following is a statement by Tom Bearden (edited). Is anyone familiar enough with his work, and this concept of re-gauging magnetic potential to relate it to what is occurring in the magnetic gates we are discussing? It appears to me, to define much of the actions in a general sense.

                  "To regauge a magnetostatic scalar potential on a stator, we must create a stator magnetic pole in such a manner that the magnetic field H from the suddenly injected pole strength cannot cause tangential translation acceleration of the rotor in the regauging region itself. Further, if the injected pole strength creates an accelerating tangential field from the regauging region to the next most stator region, that can be highly beneficial and it can be utilized to enable overunity.

                  Hence the regauging quenches the back-drag field portion. Regauging is best accomplished by creating the magnetic field H of the injected pole oriented radially with respect to the rotor pole in the regauging sector, as that rotor pole moves along its tangential path. In that case, no radial work on the rotor system is required in order to regauge the magnetic scalar potential. Thus the rotor can actually be strongly boosted through a region that would otherwise produce back-drag if regauging were not accomplished.

                  So, once the regauging jump of the magnetostatic scalar potential is accomplished, the tangential back drag on the rotor in a permanent magnet motor arrangement can be eliminated or materially reduced, or even reversed so as to aid the rotor's operation, with the expenditure of very little energy in creating the regauging jump."

                    • The Universal-Environment is all around us, one does not normally see or feel it. Only when we distort this space does its presence become apparent.
                      That statement reminded me of John Hutchisons work.

                      You probably already know this but a challenge I see in a closed loop is centrifugal force and whether it could be utilized. Also a section of track that is totally non-magnetic like plastic with enough forward momentum of the roller to continue the cycle.
                      I envy you geniuses who can calculate things out like this.

                      • Thanks Barry for the explanation on broken symmetry. It's much appreciated!

                        As to your question above.... that's something far beyond my capacity to answer! I'll have to leave it to those with more background in physics to address it.

                          • Defining a unique Gate

                            The magnetic field merely has a magnitude and direction at every point in space, and is only defined relative to an inertial (non-accelerating, non-rotating) frame of reference. A rotating conductive magnet is however, detectable by the electric field produced when its free charges separate radially, as described by the Lorentz force produced by (absolute) rotation of the conductor within its own magnetic field.
