Hi plengo
Magnetic bearing s a god idea
if we levitate the rotor using magnets opposing each other in the bottom and top
beside a stainless steel shaft just like in vertical wind vane generators
Im trying to replicate the design with ring magnets only from microwave ovens
and see where it will go
cheers

sorry but it is not what I mean although also using magnetic bearings would improve.
Let me give a new shot at the problem, it will be long but bear with me.
Imagine a door that can revolve to both directions. On each side I put a strong man, both are equivalent strong and both are pushing the door with their hands. One is pushing to the right and the other man on the other side of the door is pushing to the left.
If both strong mans are pushing at the same force the door will not move, although lots of energy will be wasted by doing so. Imagine what would happen if one of the man becomes a little bit stronger and exert a little bit more force, let's say to the left, the door will move to the left to an equivalent amount of energy which would be the difference of both mans total work.
Whenever they both exert the same force the door would stop moving, although the total amount of energy used will be the sum of both strong man. Also total of net usable energy is 0 (Man1 - Man2 = 0).
Now, imagine that the door has a lock and I can lock it at the middle position and I do so when both man are pushing the door until a balance is reach, the door is in the middle and I lock the door. Now the door will not move even if one of the man's force is much greater than the other simply because the door is locked, although again, both are using a great amount energy and therefore the total energy on the system would be the sum of force of each man's push. Again net energy = 0 (Man1 - Door - Man2 + Door = 0).
Now, I will slide the man on the left just enough so that his hands are no longer on the door but on the wall besides the door. With that I used another amount of energy. So total energy used is Man1 + Man2 + sliding Man1 to the side. Door is not moving, it is locked still, remember? Net energy gained is still 0.
Now, what would happen if I unlock the door in this instance? it will open violently in the direction of Man2 exerting force. Imagine also that the door is connected to a generator so when the door opens violently it will generate electricity to an equivalent of the amount of energy Man2 put it in.
Total energy of the system now is not in balance. I have Man2 + moving Door Generated Energy + Man1 (pushing the unmoving wall) + Sliding Man1 energy to the side + unlocking the door. This time I have an extra energy (generated energy by moving the door) with still the same amount of the Man's used energy, plus a little bit extra the put it by sliding a man and unlocking the door, but still, much more energy than the first scenario available to good use.
Somehow I generated an extra amount of energy simply by making both Man not fighting each other. Obviously this is a scenario where we have things setup in the beginning so that the amount of energy generated and used to be 0 but in the second scenario we get an extra Man2 energy back.
Nothing special here so far. I am making an analogy of the Man's being the magnets and the door being the coil trigger and the door's generator being the other coils in the motor.
Now, imagine even if I replace the two man with two gigantic monster elefants. Would not the energy generated be of much higher value? Bigger magnets will create much greater counter balancing forces that when directed in a different way, just like when I slide one of the Man to the side, and also a much greater door pushing movement and therefore greater generated energy. Off course I pay a little bit more to slide gigantic elefants.
What I am trying to say is that the magnets, just like first scenario, are fighting against each other and counter balancing one another so no net energy created, only waisted. On the second scenario where I lock the door and move the Man2 and unlock the door, it is when we trigger the trigger coil so that both Mans (Magnets in opposition or total CLOSED PATH MAGNETIC FLUX) is not long in opposition and a non-linear situation is created where the net energy is not longer 0.
What I think it is happening on Romero's motor is something similar where the magnets are locked in place in a CLOSED PATH MAGNETIC FLUX where all are counter balancing each other just like the two mans on the door. When we pulse the trigger coil, a unbalancing act happens where the Magnets are trying to balance them selfs again and in doing so causes the rotor to spin and generate energy.
Off course when energy is generated Lenz law applies and cause resistance BUT the magnets are so freaking strong that the amount of resistance is too small to stop them and therefore they will spin until a stronger forcer stops it which is the cogging. At that instant the whole system is in balance again and the amount of energy generated is absolutely free and more important irrelevant to the balance of the system.
The clever situation here is they way the coils where arranged with more magnets on top and bottom causing a pumping effect where even more energy is created and a faster balancing act is created.
Triggering another coil will again put things out of balance and will cause the magnets to fight desperately for balance cause more spin and therefore more energy generated.
I think for this to be really possible one must disconnect the amount of rotation torque from the amount one pays to cause unbalance on the magnetic flux of the closed path. It is easy for me to see how it is possible by simply imagining the exact same motor with gigantic more than stronger magnets now. It will spin with an gigantic amount of torque which DID NOT COME from the trigger. It is inherent of the magnets.
If one turns of the trigger coil, the whole system will seek balance and stop rotating. Triggering again will unbalance things and cause it to spin or wiggle. Wiggle was the first effect we see on the second video when Romero's turns the machine on. He than pushes the rotor with his fingers helping the system to get into resonance so the rotation can pass the first cog. The next cogging effect is easy to win by simply being already part of the net zero energy in the system plus the inertia mass + the trigger input energy. Very small increments of trigger energy inserted into the system causes a greater and greater amount of torque by simply forcing the magnets to seek balance.
Makes sense now?? Anyone to help??
Fausto.
