I believe this was the first post about 2 weeks ago    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQrOQwo-IbI

The biggest thing that bothers me is the fact that he has to hold the ring for it to spin. Even if it does work exactly like he is showing, he would need to do a stationary test without his hands near it for me to be convinced.

Is he wearing gloves because it is cold maybe dipped in liquid nitrogen previously to shooting to provide super conduction effects? Possible?
While they are material gloves there could be other gloves underneath it...

Sure he could be hiding something or maybe it is a coverup of his simplistic design to keep it from being stolen...

How can one know without fulling seeing the before and after of everything...

We can not we can only ask and assume we hear the truth.

Well, I finally contacted him and we chated over messenger.

It was not easy to talk with him. The man seems to be in a pemanent state of enthusiasm about the fact that, as he claims, the design works.

I asked him since when he has got this working, and said 1990! He says has a running unit 24/7 that he uses to charge truck batteries with an electric fan motor used as dynamo.

He also says that he has much more better designs.

He provided me some clues, as that the magnets he uses are Fe B Nd alloy (that is supposed to be the best magnetic alloy for this motor) and that they are round and from old radios. I asked if they were toroidal field magnets, but he might have not understood, as he insisted the magnets must be round.

He also says the magnets must be overlapped half their distance, he says the magnets don't touch each other even as overlapped, he apparently engraves the supporting ring to allow the overlap without touching.

He said me that I need to use round magnets of 8 cm of diameter and 1 cm thick for the outer ring, and round 12 cm magnets (1 cm thick) for the rotor part.

He insisted that me try it, but I will have trouble to source such magnets. He insist it works and many people has achieved it.

He instructed me to use a fan as starting point, with a stator ring of magnets of the same diameter than the fan blades (which are of course to be removed).

That's what I got pretty much. Will review the msn log to see if something I forgot.

Anyway he says the diagrams that are already in this thread are what all what is required.

Good nights (or morning, is 15 to 5 am down here)

Regards!

Also, I'm assuming that you meant to say that the magnets are 8 mm in diameter and not 8 cm? The ones pictured in the video obviously could not have been that large.
Things I would like to know more about:

Diameter of the stator ring

8cm is the diameter of the stator ring.

In my previous conversation I tried to ask him the type of magnetic field of the magnets but it got lost in translation  .

Clanzer I believe you were the one that once posted this chart showing the different configurations a cylindrical magnets can have. Could you post that again please?

Here's another site with even more illustrations too:

Very interesting stuff and well done everyone

Of course I will have a go at replicating, but short of time these days, so will not rush in as usual and wait till Jason gets some Blue Prints together of what we all conclude the configuration maybe.

He said to ChileanOne that

Angle of the magnets in the ring (was it exactly half the magnet face covered, as in (one magnet edge overlaps exactly to the diameter line of the adjacent magnet?)

But looking at Picture A2.jpg above it seems they are not half way, did he send these pictures to you Broli?

Cheers
