Ok, in this demo I would like to point out a few things
why most magnet motor experiments so far did't succeed.
for example,
two magnets that repel each other
behave like a spring that is compressed,
and that is why it is not possible
to enter into a row of magnets like this
because there is a sticky point right at the beginning.
I mean a point with a large resistance
that cannot be overcome without bringing in more energy
it is just not possible to get in at that point.
only when you bring in additional energy from the outside
can you move into this row of magnets
and only then will it move by itself
until at the end it pushes itself away again
and most people try to solve this problem by using shielding
which is not a workable solution
because at this time, no materials exist that can shield a magnetic field
without themselves becoming magnetized.
I suspect that this way it probably will never work.
now, I have solved this problem in a different way
some of you are already familiar with these experiments
so take a look at this gate here
it is shaped like an open "U"
or an open "O"
on these laminations sit a number of magnets
placed at a certain distance from each other
with a certain angle with respect to each other
the metal strips are also bent a bit.
One like this and the other exactly opposite.
its hard to see, but that's what it is.
now, the way this is built,
we have a group of magnets here
and the magnets down here
all have the same pole facing out
actually the north pole.
now, if you move a second magnet
in here - again with the north pole.
then the magnets will repel themselves
as expected
nothing new sofar...
but as it happens
in this particular configuration
a null point is created
where the magnetic field becomes inverted
here we have a repelling action
and here we have a repelling action
but exactly in the middle
we now find an attraction
like this it repells
like this it also repells
but if I take the same magnet into the center
here we have attraction
there is a repelling action
I better move the camera over here
there we have a repelling action
and up there as well
but in the middle
there we have an attraction
and exactly there is the null point
this functions just like a shield
the magnets inherently have a shielding property
each individual magnet has this
it is important that you have two magnets
placed in opposition
at a certain distance
depending on the strength of the magnetic field.
if the magnets are smaller
so is the gap also
and if they are larger and stronger
the gap is also larger
ok, I would like to make the following point:
we have just seen that a sticking point exists
which cannot ordinarily be overcome
one has to assist it with an external force
it just isn't possible
to switch off one of the poles
however, with this kind of gate
this is easily done
because, this is what happens
the gate approaches the stator
and it is pulled in at this point
the stator moves exactly through the null point
of the gate
and directly behind this
we find a repelling action
so the gate can simply move out of the stator
meaning, the direction of rotation
is predetermined
it cant do otherwise
because in this way
the gate is pulled into the stator
moves through it's null point
and is then pushed away
that means the rotation is forced in one direction
it wont go in the other direction
there is the repelling action
here you can see it very clearly
so, what happens if I just let it freewheel?
and from a still position just like this.
so...the gate went up to there
with a single impulse
that is almost a whole
no a half rotation
with one stator and a single gate
again
all right, I better let this stand still for a moment
there are no wires and no motors involved
all right
the same again, from a complete stand-still
from here the attraction begins
a single impulse was enough for half a rotation
well this is more like three quarters
because if I start there
no that is not three quarters - more like a half
so, as I said before
I have clamped a piece of steel sheet to the stator
just about in the middle
so I can shield the other end with it
the pull from the opposing end
is transferred by the steel to the other side
from here
to over there
in this way the other end of the stator is weakened
and if one wants to increase this effect
one can add an iron block here
just a piece of metal
that is put at the other end of the stator
it does not have to be connected
its enough for it to be nearby
and this appears to be very workable.
I will put this over here
all right, once again...
there it starts
That is the solution.
all is clear
thank you for watching
until the next demo
