Magnetic Suspension Motor/Generator

thingiverse

This apparatus represents a tool for learning about the interaction of spinning opposing magnetic fields. It is a variation of the David Hamel Spinner. http://peswiki.com/directory:david-hamel-motor This project is discussed here: http://www.energyscienceforum.com/showthread.php?t=3766 You can add modules to see how tall you can stack the rotors. You can experiment with using pulse coils to spin it. You can enclose it to experiment with ion trapping. Parts List: 3/4" diameter metal or glass disc with a small pivot point drilled/tapped in the middle (at least 1) this point will need to be oiled 5" weaving needle (at least 1) for the rotor. cut to desired length 1/2" X 1/4" disc neodymium magnets outer ring X16 from http://www.magnet4less.com/ 5/16" X 1/8" disc neodymium magnets inner ring X12 from Harbor Freight or http://www.magnet4less.com/ 1/4" cube magnets for pulse motor rotor X4 (optional) small bundles of welding wire for the pulse motor coil cores (optional) 1/8" threaded rods at 12" (optional) X4 to use with the outer ring that does not have stilts attached. magnet wire of choice for pulse motor coils (optional) Some drilling and sanding may be required for optimum fitting. This apparatus is 4" in diameter. To this date there has never been a known successful replication of the actual Hamel device. Experiment at your own risk. Catastrophic failure of parts spinning at high speed can cause damage to property, injury, or death.
