Bryan, Another way is this if you have a compass. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I've got it down now. -- A compass has a north and...
This has been covered a bunch of times, but here it is again for clarity. The north pointing end of the compass needle points towards (is attracted to) the...
Josh, Tomorow I'll post a photo of my rotor and the effect it has on a compass for you to please check because it seems to me that according to these words in...
Here is another way for people living in europe. http://www.supermagnete.de/eng/magnets.php?group=school The red end is the north pole of the magnet. Marcus...
G'Day Bryan,Marcus The compass has a North pole and a south pole it is actually a magnet and the NP on the compass IS aNORTH pole and therefore is attracted to...
dear josuetortola: after you check those things that tom wrote about, keep in mind that it could also be normal activity based on your battery. my co-workers...

No, that is what you want. The north pole of your magnet is facing out and is attracting the south pole of the compass, while repelling the north pole of the...
That's fantastic. That means I don't have to try to get the magnets out. :-) Shame the rotor has been soaking in acetone for the last hours though. Doah ! ...
Dear Bryan!!! Thank you very much for your tips and advice I wanna thank also to Tom and of course I´m going to check all of those things,I haven´t done yet...
well in some ways the number of magnets do matter. 1- magnet passes per minute vs rpm. if I have a 4 magnet rotor spinning at 300 rpm I get 300x4 = 1200 mag...
Hi Tom! Thanks for the reply!! I understand the point of having more magnets very well because I know the theory about wind generators and I also have built...
no your magnets are not too far apart, if you have a standar 1 inch wide magnet, you can place them 3 widths apart so 3 inches. I used a compass and laid out...
Marcus That is exactly right Put 2 magnets N to N and what happens they push away from each other. There is a problem when using a compass KEEP it AWAY from...
G'Day Marcus according to  Your photo the Magnet  in the rotor is a North facing out  Regards Ian Koglin ________________________________ From: msearson1...
thanks ian. (my compass hasn't been compromised. it definately still points to the north of spain.) marcus ________________________________ From: Ian...
Have to say that last night I finally hooked up my ssg to the battery's and it took off and started running, what an exhilarating suprise, I was so excited...
G'Day Josuetortola My last 4 rotors have all been 12 inches? therabouts and I have 6 magnets in each Regarts Ian Koglin ________________________________ From:...
ha James Rick was a 26 =16 or 17 mag in this video note magnet spacing [way past 3 mag] bulding to match this makes it easyer 4 all so we have near same set...
G'Day Marcus When I connect my SSG immediately the magnet is attracted to the coil when it is running it appears to reverse when past the magnet\ Regards I an...
Hi Guys!!! All of you are really good!!!Thanks for the help!!! Finally I have the time to make the measurements that Tom told me to but I have a question...Can...
digital is fine, see if you can find someone with an analog meter, to compare with. I got my analog meter from a thrift store for 50 cents. you will be in the...
