That's correct! Except you don't need to taper in the leading edge of the rotor. The higher leading edge causes a greater attraction and is pulled in.

I see, that could give you 9 magnets pushing only 3 through the gate, a much better ratio.

Well, @Roobert33's only has one cam. Wonder what the role of the bottom lever is? Also, it seems to me the drum and especially the bar that goes across it (the stator) are too heavy.

That bottem lever looks to me like part of a spring for the stator gate. The spring looks like simply a strong piece of wire that's bent and held down on one end over a fulcrum.

@bastonia,

As far as I can see, the role of the spring is to position the height of the stator magnet just right when in down position. It's true the spring has a role as everything else does -- the shape and position of the cam, the overall balance to avoid gravity effect, the bottom lever w/ magnet etc. All these are essential in the final tuning and one has to be really patient in doing it. I'll have some more concrete input soon because, as I already mentioned, I have to redo the whole thing when I came back home in the US. Today I received the axis from the machinist and in a few days I'll be moving to Massachusetts for a while to do some more work on this and other devices.

This is Robert Calloway

http://www.callowayengines.com/index.htm

This is the man that we spoke to ,he is the man that said it works,he is also the guy Sterling thinks is Roberto33.

Clanzer should start to correspond with this man ,he's a cool guy
,but he doesn't like Sterling anymore![according to Sterling]
Robert has a new design that Clanzer should get the heads up on.

Oh, I see. So Calloway is from Texas, right? Great. Well, I wonder why he wouldn't come up here in this forum. I forgot to ask him that. And, yea, I remember him saying that he is working on a new design. But why did he abandon the already working one? I think he said he doesn't feel it's practical enough and also he didn't feel he should go public with it. Anyway, it would be great if he decides to pop-up here and explain a thing or two about his working motor (@Roobert33 for sure isn't Calloway, though, because he told me he doesn't even know who that guy is).

bastonia,

i think one of us is confussed.

CAM n. An eccentric or multiply curved wheel mounted on a rotating shaft, used to produce variable or reciprocating motion in another engaged or contacted part.

this doesn't fit your post

2) This accomplished by:
    a) "The Spring" attached to the cam shaft and the metal disc attached to the base.
    b) "The Cam" which the has a downward slop for the spring to pull against and create forward force.

i think what you are calling the cam shaft is what others would call the stator magnet lifter assy.  it looks like a couple of pieces of wooden dowel connected to make a right angle.  also the cam shaft is the same as the shaft that the drum with the rotor magnets is mounted on.

the one point i see you make that hasn't been brought out before is the shape of the cam itself.  the following edge descending , if there is spring tenion against the stator magnet lifter assy., would add to the drum rotation.  nice catch!

in my earlier post i suggested the spring was there to make the lifting load of the cam lighter.  now i wonder which would be the better asset.

i think stretching the spring with the cam would take more energy away (no net gain because you have to use energy from the cam to stretch it) than allowing the stator magnet lifter assy.'s weight to compress the spring (so it could lessen the load for the cam.  if assy. is 10 units and spring force is 9 units when compressed = 1 unit to lift assy.).

a small mod might help.  make the attachment of the spring to the base adjustable.  instead of a fixed point, use a threaded rod thru the base.  just a thought.

@Roberval
many thanks..do you have a digram or a video...it makes sense

Jesus,
I don't know about these things,however that
doesn't stop me from talking about them [only kidding]

When we spoke to Robert Calloway [Texas]
He said his new design would be/is four stators "rotating" INSIDE the stationary V gate.
