Hi. In Zirbes device, the shielding is a major part. I assembled the energizers for both the stator and the rotor and I see clearly how the shielding is going...
Hi Jason I have tryed test with the donut magnet and two small round magnets and something is happening in a positive way but I need to do more test, I did...
Hi Graham, all, Graham when you say something positive I am a bit curious to hear more, I plan to construct a model myself as this seems so simple and with all...
Hi. The Zirbes device is growing and already now we can see what the idea is. I placed the latest updates at: http://sefdp005/zirbes/assemblies.asp Now I'm...
Hi Graham, I could add a steel or iron shield to the bottom of the doughnut magnet but that may constrict the field to the doughnut too much. on the other...
HI Dave, You're right about the forces that appear in the magnets. If you look at the simulation again, you can also see that the same kind of field potentials...
Jason, a silly thought, but what happens if another donut the size of the base is placed above the rotor parallel to the base but with an attracting polarity,...
Hi Dave, Actually, I have done simulations of a single and double rotor design as well as a single and double doughnut design. If you use two doughnuts with ...
Good morning Try using neodymium magnets that are NOT nickle plated such as the magnets in my permanent magnet dynamo, which were constructed in 1987 and still...
Wayne, Eric, Jason, Norman, All, It is very easy, if you have the magnets, to just hold the neo in your fingers over the ceramic disc and just feel the side...
HI Ron and ALF, Great suggestions for the motor! Ron, when I did a few hand tests with my magnets, I got about the same results, although at the time, I was...
Hi Jason, I forgot to mention the sizes of the magnets ... the ceramic is from a microwave and is about 57 mm and the neo's are 1 inch dia by 1/8" thick. Good...
Hi Ron, I'll get right on the simulation for you, but could you give me more information about the dimensions of the ceramic magnet? What is the inner and...
Hi. I'm a bit afraid that when you have the NEO discs in you hand, close to the rings in the suggested position, that your senses will have a problem to make a...
Hi Eric, That's correct. I did the hand test with my magnets quite a while ago, and the main reason I never tried to build a full-blown model was because I had...
Hello All, I've been doing some more simulation of the disk motor and I made an odd observation. I had been under the impression that the rotor would rotate in...
Hi Jason, I found out what the force is when hand held. If the disc magnet is mounted on the end of a pivoted arm and brought towards the main magnet from the...
Hi Ron, Hmmm. this is interesting. Well, before I draw any conclusions abut this, can I get the dimensions of your magnets so I can test them in the computer, ...
Hi Eric, I posted a reply to you earlier but it didn't show up. If it does ignore one of them, thanks. See also my post to Jason. But the main point was... I...
Hi Jason, I replied to Eric earlier saying that the model I made did not rotate but it never showed up on the list. I have just written again, so that is the...
Hi Ron, Thanks for the info. I'm working on a simulation for you now. Two quick questions for clarification, when you said the height of your ceramics was 1",...
Hi Ron, The simulation results are in, and it is showing that there is "some" force there, but it is meager to say the least. Since I wasn't sure weather your ...
Hi Jason, I knew without a picture you would always wonder what I had done and so, pour vou... a clean bench and a "test setup" posted in your Disk Magnet...
Hi Ron, Thanks for the test, that was a cleaner setup then I had planned on making. Oh well. Yeah, I'm waiting on Norman's results anxiously :-). God Bless, ...
Hi All I have to go along with Ron here, I have had almost the same result with the test I did, the difference being mine would spin half a turn then stop. I...
Gentleman, I have been watching and studying the "Disk Motor" that some of you are experimenting with. You are getting close to my magneticly suspended rotor I...
Hi. The half turn you see is because of the fact that the ring magnet is not exactly in the middle of the construction I guess. If you can move the ring...
Its resuslts may not be known till Wed or Thurs. I've been busy otherwise. But basically in version III two sequences do work next to each other and it has a...
Jason, When I arrived home I headed straight to my magnets and rigged up a very crude model using a nylon string a coat hanger, sixty mile an hour tape and...
