Hello everyone. This is the first message in the e-group: The Minato Wheel. Since some years ago I try replicating the Self-running Bicycle wheel that Mr....
Hello Eric, I would like to first thank you for you efforts at your web site and obviously in your workshop in trying to rebuild the Minato Wheel. While I was...
Hello Paul. Thank you for your kind words. I built my web site for 3 reasons. 1. to tell about Minato 2. to meet people who are interested in this technique...
Comments are inserted below. ... I understand this sentiment. For over unity performance the summation of the torque diagram over a full rotation would have...
Hi Paul. Just for the record: The videos (2 and 3 wheel) are from my earlier Minato experiments. Before I knew about the spiral and before I had done...
Hi Eric. Again, thank you for doing the work you have done, and for sharing some of your work with others such as myself. I have only recently heard about...
Hi Paul. This discussion is for me very important since I am forced to think about my own work again and that is very useful. I looked at my photobook: Multi...
Having a lot of magnets close together is maybe a way to isolate the attracting poles. Or using half horse shoe magnets so that the attracting poles are...
... Words can be difficult to relate details so there may be some back and forth here. "Big magnet" = stator? "right" = ? What is a picture that embodies...
Hello Paul. Yes, words can be difficult. And since English is not my first language (it comes after Dutch and Swedish) I guess I make things more difficult...

I created some photos and video clips of my experiments with the Ultra Light Wheel. You can find those via my web site http://fdp.hemsida.net by choosing for...
Wow Eric! You are keen to have done this so fast. I took another look at the ultra light wheel page on your website. I am not good at computers and for some...
since it only seems to work with the drivers from my camera. I have to find anouther way to compress. The videos for wheel 2 and 3 were made with a Siemens...

Hi Paul. I uploaded the video clips as MPG files to my website and to the files section in this group. Hope you can see them. I'm printing several Ultra light...
I used my Ultra Light Wheel only once for making a proof of concept but now I will test this small wheel with different magnet layouts. The test scenario and...
Hi Eric, OK. I had a look at your small wheel experiment and am very grateful for it. The sceptical side of me has now see that the torque can be applied up...
When you use the drawing program at my homepage and choose for displaying the flux density, you'l find a button above the small flux picture called: download...
1. I did the second test listed on my test scenario ( http://fdp.hemsida.net/scenario/default.html ). This set-up gives more force then the first test. The...
I did the third test with the Ultra Light Wheel. The only difference between test 2 and test 3 is that the distance between the magnets are equal in test 3....
The test with 35 magnets gave a little bit more force then the test with 30 magnets. Now I plan to change the angle a bit. The angle between the magnets at the...

Hi Eric, Good work here. What I find most interesting is the flux movie that you have managed to create. (Not of course to take away from your experiments,...
Hello Paul. Yes, you're right about the flux movie. It's an automated process and the idea is to have a button on my drawing program that one could click on in...

I made a small electronic device to help me measure the force, giving the rotation, after the kick. A program calculates the speed at the rim and the rpm at...
