I`ve sent an email to the e-magnets website with the specs from the K&J website to see if can provide both the correct rotor and stator magnets thats needed.

I let you know when I get a reply.

Hey guys,

Al posted this just today and thought it might help.

"Oh, and the rotor is HDPE, the base is acrylic (perspex or plexiglas) and the stator bearing/magnet holders, and the rotor shaft adapter, are of Delrin.
The stators are held to the base in my unit with austenitic SS socket-head cap screws, #4-40, and a tiny washer for clearance (under the bearing).
(ETA I found plastic screws were too flexible for this purpose.)"


Cheers,
Bruce

Everyone still waiting for magnets? Maybe they're out of stock after selling so many for that secret military Black Project?

We recently stroke a deal with such company to build their antenna on our property and pay us a monthly rent for that. So, you say, had we found a proper device we could also steal energy from that. But that's stealing (forgive the frank language) while I think what we're working on is producing energy from nothing. Anyway, just a little friendly chit-chat now while waiting for the magnets.  My friend already started the lathing an milling, the magnets and the bearings will arrive soon and it'll be seen shortly what we're facing.

Apparently far back when they first started transmitting TV signals, people found a way of tapping power off it, but the way that the TV stations found out was that the signal was not reaching the whole area that it was meant too reach, this was because the buggers were tapping it for power and draining the signal before it got that far hehe 

So you cannot really call this FREE ENERGY as it is being created from another source anyway.

It is illegal to do this BTW and I would not advise to have a go

Take a motor and get it to increase the speed of a Rotor from 1000rpm to 4000 rpm, it will take current to start that motor, it will take current to get it too that 4000rpm speed. That requires energy, but if AL's Rig has found a away of doing it without anything but the magnets then we Defo got something interesting here!

hmmm... so the number of radios tuned to a station diminishes the signal?  Doesn't sound right to me...

I got my K&J magnetics today. Ordered Monday. Standard shipping. No express. Nice magnets. Got 2 two sizes of ring magnets.. The 1/2x3/16x1/4 (R834DIA) and the 3/4x1/4x3/4 (RC4CDIA). Got a couple of different 1/4 rod ones as well.  It is nice they throw in a sample bag of magnets except they stuck to the other magnets and the bag ripped when i tried to remove. They might prove useful. . Now if I only had a rig to mount it all. Lets see.. Got a $10.00 poly cutting board from WallyWorld. Standard cheap material to used for prototypes. Easy to machine. That should should be big enough for the rotor and base. Got a rod of 6061-t6 aluminum. Got some Pleasure Tool roller skate bearings that should go up to high rpm... Now to convince the machinist that I need to use the shop hummm... Maybe show him the video of the motor. That might work. I'll see if I can get started building tonight...  Later...

Here's my attempt so far, just started it today, should have it done by today, im hoping anyway...lol

bearings ripped out of HDD, one on nylon disk was forced in by using drill press, thx for the tip who mentioned this in this thread.
The 4 smaller bearings you see there on that brass screw were actually taken from the one housing, if you force the shaft through, you will get at least two bearings from the one.

Oh the reason theres those large squares cut out, is because this was from another project i was doing, for bedini rotor.
I used drill press to do all the work here and small file.

What about the dampers? From my reading the original configuration would not work without them...

...the unit runs faster without the magnokinetic Judson dampers. Typical stator speeds are 8000 rpm, rotor 2000. But the unit is quite unstable at those speeds, maybe due to the cheap bearings I used for the stators. But that's unknown, it could be that the bearing chatter actually contributes to the effect by some chaotic dynamical interaction. Don't ask me with what!

Anyway the unit will run up to high speed but only stays for a short time before the stator "drops out" and the rotor freewheels to a stop. I figured that a little eddy-current damping at high speeds (and proportionally less at low speeds, so the damping at startup speeds is essentially zero.) would do the trick.

There was an adjustment process that took a couple hours to find the sweet spot and the orientation, and it seemed so close to an already drilled and tapped set of holes in the base, that I just used the existing holes, even though the positioning wasn't totally optimum. It seems to do what I intended. I never anticipated the need for these dampers when I was laying out the unit.
