Hi,
an interesting Project what you have done here. Nice Work.
I wish again i had that much Magnets to rebuild it.
Are there more Plans about the Setup from the Magnets and this Stick, what rolls over?
I would say, this would work, when someone is interested to build it into a Way or something similar, just shows, that Oil still rules us.

Very great. it can be used to drive trains. Eric Laithwaite would be so proud.

Can't speak for the others, but I, for one, would love to see a diagram of the track and "rotor". I have a pretty good idea of how to use this.

Dean2,

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Now, it would probably make it easier to design anything involving magnets if you understand that magnetic field does not belong to a magnet.
Unipolar dynamo is a perfect example of it.

Permanent (and any other) magnets only create a distortion in the surrounding ambient magnetic field.

Dean,

I really like your work, and you have done a great job at presenting the information. I haven't had time to fully study your work or to really analyze the video, but I have a few quick questions from a very preliminary look. Is this similar to the LaPlace Rail or this configuration? These examples are of a linear homopolar motor configuration with an external electrical current being supplied.

Is your setup using the induced EMF to move the roller through the magnetic field, as in the above videos, without the use of supplying an external current (the induced EMF is replacing the external power)? If this is the case, then your setup is a combination between a linear homopolar motor and a linear homopolar generator without any input power. Maybe no CEMF/BEMF in your setup, if I'm understanding it correctly.

I will definitately be following your progress and taking a better look. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

not a LaPlace Rail

GB, no similarity to the LaPlace rail. No mystery there. There is no external power applied to the track or rotor in this demonstration.

I know there is no external power in your system. The induced EMF is moving the roller through the magnetic field instead of the applied power. Induced EMF or applied power to move the roller in both systems is based on the same working principals, IMO.

power

GB, I agree.

Thanks Dean, looking forward to it.
