Lately, it seems there have been an unusual number of emails
asking about magnetics and potential ways to make a
self-running motor or generator...the best I can do is to
offer them the compiled page of magnetic correlations at;
http://www.keelynet.com/ohsako/ohsako.htm
and tie in to a possible use of the Podletnekov or Schnurer
stimulated superconductor weight reduction column to drive a
heavy wheel because it would continually be overbalanced as
shown at;
http://www.keelynet.com/gravity/scwheel.htm
An interesting use for the Podletnekov effect that might be
able, with stacked superconductors to increase the amount of
weight loss experienced in the column above it, to drive a
very heavy wheel so that it was continually falling due to
the weight imbalance.
In consideration of other methods nor requiring
superconductors or outside power, as with Troy Reeds
magnetic motor, he used an inkpen clicker mechanism that had
a spring, a latch and a release. His motor had many of
these clicker magnet mechanisms mounted on a wheel that
passed fixed high power magnets.
The idea was that this spinning wheel with magnetic clickers
mounted on the rim, would pass a ramp that would cock the
springs to compress and latch at a certain point. As the
wheel rotated, it would pass a trigger that would release
the latch mechanism, causing the magnet to be thrown out
against the fixed magnet to be repelled with maxiumu effect
which would add additional thrust to the wheel. Apparently
inertia would help this to keep running.
The Reed video shown at our Roundtable meeting a couple of
years ago showed this approximately 6 foot wheel in motion,
making all these clicking noises and claiming to be
generating enough energy to run a drill, light a bulb or
power other small electrical devices.
Although the video indicates the device will continue to
self-run, I am told it eventually slows down and stops which
is why after all these years we don't see any of Reeds
motors commercially available or in practical use as a self
running device.
The point here is many are seeking a logical method for a
self running magnetic motor.
There are several patents which use a shielding technique,
the most promising being a slotted wheel and which stops or
greatly weakens the magnetic flux emanating from the exposed
pole.
If it is timed to rotate with the wheel, allowing the
aperture/slot in the disc to open at the same time or
preferably with a very slight delay when a magnet on the
rotating wheel is opposite and just slightly past the
repelling poles.
It is at this point that the full flux density of the
tightly bound flux lines of the poles in both magnets will
be exposed to repel with the maximum thrust.
The nature of a magnet is for the flux lines to be
CONCENTRATED at the poles (ingoing at the North and outgoing
as the South) but these flux lines spread out as they move
around the magnet.
A matter of the inverse square law where the energy of the
flux lines remains the same but is spread out over a wider
surface area.
Like pointing a flashlight at a wall from 6" and seeing how
much brigher and smaller the beam is, as opposed to pulling
the flashlight back and noticing how the beam spreads out to
cover a wider area but it becomes weaker.
This gradient effect in a magnet can be viewed as a snow
covered hill. You have to get a skier ON TOP of the hill
BEFORE you can ski down it.
As you move closer to the poles the repelling energy
increases because the flux lines are closer due to being
concentrated into a smaller area.
So, the rotating shield would let you skip the uphill part,
hopefully with sufficient inertia to carry the rotating
wheel into the path of the open aperture so that when it
does open, the full thrust will be achieved.
Lots of ways to skin a cat...
