Hi all, got my first anti gear spin using the wrong magnets but no sustain or acceleration to report yet

Craigy, the rotor looks a bit small, rotor magnets too close to each other, possibly too long. My tests show best ratio of rotor magnet to stator dia: 1:1 to 1.5:1

Hi There , this is the playing before i get the correct magnets, i have the correct rotor on its way and the correct magnets, besides the stators themselves are 2 small neos drilled into a perspex disk, i am surprised i got anything with those..

Hi Sean,

Are you joking or did you really see some possible anti-gravity effects?  I would think that this alone would be worth serious investigation.  Could you show that by video?  Unsecure the legs, and allow lift-off (with proper tethering and device protections in place).

Ever consider something as simple as down draft?

Oh, I forgot to add low air pressure above the rotor at those high RPMs

But seriously, could someone explain the connection between gravity and magnetism, I see this around these boards quite often, my understanding is that magnetism and gravity only have similar characteristics but they do not interact,

Mmm...Well it could be that the OCAL effect is a manifestation of the polarisation of inertia - which is another way of saying the polarisation of mass since the definition is the same for both. Mass is not a measure of the amount of stuff but a property of stuff. If you increase the velocity of a body the mass increases but the number of protons, etc. the amount of "stuff" remains constant.

Now it is conceivable that if mass is polarised that there will be less seeing the gravitational wind that blows steadily downwards. So its conceivable that the weight of the rotor will decrease.

Started doing some weighing and wind down tests with NO stator magnets.

BTW I span it upto 4000 RPM without magnet just now and it started too lift off the table at 2500 RPM, so Blue Tacked the feet down and they are only just staying there at 4000 RPM, so be warned LOL

There is a HUGE difference between lift and inertia.  Think of "helicopter", not "anti-gravity".

LOL!  Naw, it's anti-gravity, let's patent it!   

@Sterlinga

I remember seeing an old x craft that had discs on either side of the body that spun at high rpm's and provided thrust for the plane.  It was a real old plane tho somewheres in the 50's i think.  But supports that concept.

Great Craigy, ya had too go playing TUT, ya could not wait for ya proper stator magnets TUT.

Right SOD you I am off too play as well hehehe 

Well done mate.

Cheers

Sean.

If you get bored again, you could settle another old debate and see if it runs longer with the axle set horizontally..  

Not that old Chestnut again LOL

If I have got time tomorrow I will give it a go at a 90 degree angle.

Will be interesting, as there is hardly any play in the axle on this Rig.

We shall see hehe

Can you do it while standing on your head juggling magnets?
