Hello all. My name is Justin and this is my frist post on this list.
Anyway, since I first heard about David Hamel I was very excited and
wished to re-create his devices. I build the Hamel spinner and now am
attempting to re-create his 45 gallon drum experiment. I have desided to
build it in a much smaller table top type version. When I get it working
I will post full diagrams of how to build it on the net, and we will get
some action happening. I was wondering if anyone has tried to do this or
knows of any informations about this that I don't. Here is why I know/or
have been lead to believe about Hamel 45 g. drum experiment.
-Made in 45 Gallon drum
-cones were made from bike wheel rims
-radio shack square magnets used on cones and drum creating a direct
North<->North replusion
-a mechinical ocilliator was used?
I am planning to use 2" cones and 4" (inside dia) PVC pipe (SCH 40) as
the 'drum' with magnets glued on the outside (4.5" inside dia for the
magnets, the od of the pipe is 4.5")
A mechincal occillator built out of 1/2" marbles, wood, and 1" radio
shack ring magnets.
More info (for those who never heard of Hamel) is @

I appreciate any and all feed back.
Hamels devices are fairly simple and don't seem to need to be made with
amazing precision, he use electrical tape to fasten the magnets on the
cones!
Lets talk less and build more, and when it works tell all (talk more
THEN) Lets get some stuff done, and everyone must build a working model
so are numbers can be great enought to not just be snuffed out like so
many others! (I'm so inspirational tonight! :o)}
Cheers,
