greetings to all
In OUresearch was posted another related PDF wich included an image (below) for a possible motor.I hope this do not disturb Mr. Smith (could not ask for permission to publish here.)Anyway, I made a replica of it with 1 cm cubic magnets.
Tried several height positions with no success. No self motion whatsoever.

Are all your magnets polarized the same way?  If the rotor magnets are polarized the same as the stator magnets you will need to stand the rotor magnets on edge for the polarity to be right.  In other words if the stator magnets all have the north pole facing out or the south pole facing out as per smudge's pdf then your rotor magnets have to be oriented so the pole faces are facing in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.


Hope this helps.

Something else I want to try is making a stator with an odd number of magnets, or vice versa, 
an odd number in rotor (easier)

I have been keeping an eye on this thread.  The motor that Alvaro built with the rotor above the stator follows my suggestion for Jim Boot to try since he already had that set up.  However it is not the same as the motor in my papers where the rotor is within the ring of stator magnets.  So don't be disheartened that it didn't work.  There are examples of working motors using circular disc magnets, like the infamous Perendev/Brady one.  I think rectangular disc magnets would work better.  Not sure about cubic magnets though, my approach looks only at thin discs.

Edit.  My paper is purely theoretical and could be wrong!! I have no practical evidence to support it other than the motors you find on youtube using circular disc magnets.

Another issue to consider is the distance between magnets in the stator, as it modifies-deforms the natural shape of the mag field.

That deformation is simply the effect of the stator field adding (vector addition) to the rotor field.  By considering the magnet to be equivalent to a current loop, and in particular by considering rectangular loops, you can examine independently the separate forces on each of the four rotor current elements coming from each of the four stator current elements.  You are not faced with trying to understand the deformed field.

You find that the long edges of the stator do impose torque forces on the long edges of the rotor, but they are only cogging forces, they cancel out over a full rotation.  Then considering the long edges of the stator imposing forces on the short (end) edges of the rotor, those forces do not create torque, they only create compression or stretching forces on the rotor magnets.  That leaves only the short edges of the stator and the forces they impose on the four edges of the rotor.   By examination it is clear that the short edges of the rotor do get torque that doesn't cancel out over a full rotation.  The long edges also get torque that can negate that, and that is where I have had to build my computer model that integrates the forces along those long edges.

Note that my approach only applies to rare earth magnets where the magnetization does not change.  For other magnets where the magnetization changes on approach to other magnets the edge current model would require the currents to change in accordance with the magnetization change.

Good luck with your experiments.
