Title: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Jdo300 on March 19, 2006, 06:46:30 AM
Hi Everyone,

Dan LaRochelle found this link to a site in Argentina that appears to have a working magnetic motor. There aren't any videos of it but there are some photos of it. The inventor, Walter Dar?o Torbay, filed for a patent in Argentina in August, 2004 but I haven't been able to track it down just yet. But apparently there is something to this because of all the press coverage this guy has been getting. I?m hoping we can dig up more information on this motor. Just from looking at the pictures it appears to be extremely simple in design although I can't seem to figure out the polarity of whatever is in the rotor disk. But from one of the photographs, you can clearly see that the stator magnets all have their north poles facing towards the rotor. That is all I managed to dig up for now. Here's the link to this website (it's in Spanish by the way).

There are a few more pictures on the site but these are some of the more interesting ones. I also found a link to a forum (in spanish again) where an explanation of how it works is posted. Here's the link:
http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?t=3314&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 (http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?t=3314&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

I also ran the post with the most relevent info through BabelFish translator for us non-spanish speaking people. It's pretty rough but gets some of the basic concept across:


"... OPERATION principle (IT WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN IT SO THAT SOMEBODY NOT VERY INTERIORIZADO IN the FIELD OF SCIENCE IT CAN INCLUDE/UNDERSTAND FACILMENTE.)

Firstly we must remember the reaction that produces between if two faced permanent magnets, acercandolos there are two effects that can be produced:cuando the poles are different are attracted and when the poles are equal reject;Es this I complete efecto(the rejection of equal poles) the used one for the operation of the invention. Added to the this cuts in way magnets to turn aside the lines of magnetica force being able with these ultimos to control direction, speed and acceleration.

If we obtained that two magnets are rejected and one remains inmovil whereas the other can desplazarce this I complete always tendera to desplazarce towards the position with smaller influence by ricochet magnetico.Bien obtaining that a rejected magnet moves to a later position to which it is, this at a first moment it is not rejected and after reaching this position another magnet is replaced mecanicamente forcing it to desplazarce again to another position where another magnet is replaced again forcing it to continue moving and and repeating the reposicionamiento of magnets a continuous movement is obtained. It is possible to clarify that so that the reposicionamiento of magnets is not necessary the external application of energia since we used same energia magnetica stored in own magnets

The acceleration,el direction of rotation and the speed are controlled by means of different variants in the angulos and cuts made in magnets, those that allow to turn aside the lines of magnetica force according to agree.

LLEVER FORM IT To CABO

The invention consists of two types of pieces: main and several secondary ones.

The main pieces are the rotor arm, the elevables arms and the magnets and the secondary pieces are the screws, rulemanes, bases, etc; that they are used for the subjection, disminucionde friction, estetica, etc.

First we are going to establish some variables: the rotor arm (br) has a starting point which we will call Pn, the magnetica force by ricochet generated by the rotor arm sera Z1 call on the other hand in the external ring we will name to each I modulate elevateable like M1, M2, M3, etc and to its respective magneticas forces by ricochet like F1, F2, F3, etc.Es essential to consider that forces Z and F estan directly related to the size of magnets and the composition of such, of which we ended up deducing that Z=F+F+F=3F.

The angulos of cuts (alpha) in magnets of the modulos elevanles podran to be varied according to agrees to control acceleration magnetica friction, and speed. To knowledge that as we increased (alpha) the friction magnetica sera greater, the greater sera initial acceleration and the constant speed sera minor, whereas if alpha diminishes the initial acceleration sera minor and the constant speed increased.

The angulos of cut (beta) and location of these in magnets of the rotor arm permitiran to control direction of rotation.

The variation produced in the angulos of cut in magnets (alpha and beta) allows the deviation of the lines of force so that when increasing the angulos of cut in anyone of these the deviation of the lines of considerably greater sera magnetica force hacercandoce but to the poles whereas when diminishing these angulos the lines of force were turned aside in inverse form

The variable Q represents the opposed forces in which we included friction, friction, gravity, weight, etc.En the starting point (P1) the rotor arm is in rest generating on the other hand Z1 by mecanico system M4 rises reason why its by ricochet magnetica force does not influence the rotor arm; it is possible to clarify that the rest of the Ms estan all losses. As Z1 is rejected with F1, F2, f3 and also part of F15, f16 we managed to obtain a by ricochet magnetico force that we called X and that sera equal to Z1+F+F+F=X clearing the equation On the other hand we have left X=F+F+F+F+F+F=6F Fq=F we concluded in which X>>>F4 (F4 is the F generated by M4) (we clarified that F4<F due to its displacement and which X>>>Q reason why we forced to the rotor arm to desplazarce towards the position 2(P2), by mecanico system low M4 and M5 rises repeating all the previous process,de this way the rotor arm moves (Pn+1) X=6F-F4-Q=4+ infinitely

Observations: all the external forces of friction, friction, weight and others estan contemplated in Q.Los magnets must be permanetes with high temperature of courie so that the possible overheatings do not degrade their condition of magnet.

On the other hand the continuous circular movement and the rejection of poles favor and allow to maintain their magnetica condition conserving including the original poles.

Explanations: all the F originally calculated in Gaussian, ademas single the Ms and the end of the rotor arm is permanent magnets, the rest must be material not magenticos(aluminio, bronze, magnesium, etc). The F internal must be the sufficiently intense ones like so that great magneticos fields they do not include in the good operation of the invention... "

Here's some more tidbits of info. I think I know how this works now after reading this...
DEAR FRIEND
THE USED FORCE SO THAT IT TURNS THE ROTOR ARM IS THE MAGNETISM LOCKED UP IN MAGNETS PERMANENTES.COMO PRODAS TO SEE IN THE VIDEO CONSTANTLY ARE 8 MAGNETS THAT ARE FACED.
ARM ROTOR(THE ONE THAT TURNS) HAS 4 PERMANENT MAGNETS WITH ITS ORIENTED NORTH POLES TOWARDS EXTERNAL ARMS ELEVABLES, ARMS ELEVABLES As well HAVE IN ITS INNER END PERMANENT MAGNETS WITH ITS ORIENTED NORTH POLES TOWARDS The ROTOR ARM, THIS WAY THEY ARE The 8 MAGNETS THAT ARE UNDER The EFFECT BY RICOCHET OF EQUAL POLES ESTA ENERGIA IS MUCH GREATER THAN The NECESSARY One TO ELEVATE ONE OF EXTERNAL ARMS ELEVABLES INDIVIDUALLY. When ELEVATING ONE OF The ARMS WE OBTAINED THAT REJECTION MAGNETICO IS SMALLER IN THAT ZONE REASON WHY ROTOR ARM TENDERA TO TURN TOWARDS WHERE The HIGH ARM RECEIVES MINOR REJECTION,AL TO REACH THIS POSITION IS RELEASED And LOW BY EFFECT OF MEANS WHILE The LATER IMMEDIATE ARM IS ELEVADO.DE THIS WAY WE OBTAIN A CONTINUOUS CIRCULAR DISPLACEMENT RECORDEMOS THAT INVESTIGATIONS CIENTIFICAS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT The PERMANENT MAGNETS THAT THEY ARE UNDER The REJECTION OF EQUAL POLES THEY ALMOST CONSERVED ITS PROPERTIES MAGNETICAS WITHOUT ALTERATIONS DURING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 5000 And 50000 YEARS (DEPENDING On the MATERIAL WITH WHICH The PERMANENT MAGNETS ARE MADE)
With respect to BECAUSE The MOVEMENT HE IS NOT UNIFORM (SOME ARMS RISE MAS And OTHERS LESS) ARE Because The CUTS MADE IN The MAGNETS LAMENTABLY ARE NOT PERFECT,YA THAT ARE VERY DIFICIL TO CUT THEM ALL EQUAL Ones (WHATEVER IT FINDS TRIED TO CUT A PERMANENT RARE EARTH MAGNET WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY TOOLS SABRA To THAT I TALK ABOUT) OF EQUAL EAST WAY DEFECT NoncImpidio THAT The DEVICE TURNS EQUAL.
IF OBSEVAN the DEVICE THAT THIS FILMED IN THIS VIDEO NOT THIS CONNECTED To NINGUN DEVICE (DYNAMO, alternator) WITH THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFORMING the MOVEMENT INTO BRIEF ENERGIA ELECTRICA.EN WE WILL RAISE to VIDEOS IN WHICH IF THIS APPLIED WITH THAT AIM, ademas WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN ALL the FAIRS and EXPOCISIONES OF SCIENCE THAT ARE MADE IN ARGENTINA, reason why SOON the PODRAN SEEING Live

ON THE OTHER HAND WE IN NINGUN MOMENT HAVE REQUESTED MONEY DE DONE WE HAVE RECEIVED INFINITY OF VERY IMPORTANT SUPPLIES ECONOMICAS WHICH THERE ARE RECHAZADO.EL UNICO REASON BY WHICH WE ENTERED To THIS FORUM IS WITH The AIM TO PRESENT INFORMATION CIENTIFICA WHICH WE HAVE And TO SHARE IT WITH WHOEVER RECEIVING IT,NO IS OUR INTENTION TO WIN To ESCEPTICOS NOR TO ENTER POLEMICA WITH ANYBODY
THERE ARE DIRIJIDO To YOU WITH RESPECT And ALWAYS WAITED FOR EQUAL TREATMENT.

They invent a magnetic system to generate energy with cost zero A scientist of Sea of the Silver invented a magnetic system that produces energy without cost, since it does not use fuel some. He would have a cost of 150 dollars and "he would allow that a house is supplied of electricity indefinitely". The invention of Walter Dar?o Torbay, of 29 years and director Scientific researches and Tecnolo'gicas Independientes (ICYTI), of Sea of the Silver, has the advantage in addition of which as "it does not use any fuel, it practically does not have maintenance and almost it does not contaminate", counted the scientist. This scientist, who studied in the Industrial School of Sea of the Silver and he perfected himself in Industrial Chemistry in the Silver, works with four collaborators in a humble factory of the marplatense periphery. The system uses a type of artificial magnet denominated "Neodymium", whose magnetism is of 24,000 Gaussian (Unit of magnetic induction), who could generate a force electrical of 2,500 watts. The generator uses a principle similar to the one of the magnetic trains, although in these the magnetism is generated in electrical form, whereas the one of Torbay uses the force of attraction of the magnet in rest, reason why the cost of energy generation is null. The invention, that it patented in the country in August of 2004 and with international patent "in proceeding", is called "magnetic transgenerador" and works by ricochet "taking advantage of the magnetic property equal poles and the deviation of lines of magnetic force", said the investigator. "a complex mechanical system transforms that locked up magnetic energy into permanent magnets in driving force, electrical or caloric, stable and 100 ecological percents", assured. Torbay explained that the generator "would last 5,000 years, that are the considered lapse during which a magnet in rest conserves its magnetism". In the Commission of Scientific researches (CIC) of the Buenosairean government, Conrado Gonz?lez, member of the directory, said that the invention is consideration of this organism. First prototype constructed in aluminum, that is one of the metals that less are magnetized, was taken in 2004 to the CIC, where the studies began on the invention. A new prototype, made with rudimentary materials but that have been serving to show the operation principle, were constructed for three months by Torbay and remain in their factory-laboratory of Sea of the Silver. The inventor said that he receives much support of the CIC, "but it is not sufficient, for that reason he wanted that he receives the governor to me (Felipe Sol?), to request his economic and political endorsement to him". Torbay assured that "the future economic and commercial of the generator he is very promissory, because after his patentamiento and publication they did not take in Nevertheless arriving the millionaire economic supplies from multinational companies interested in this device" ", our intention is only to consider the supplies which they allow to help us to our country, which they allow to create new sources of work and to impel the economic and scientific growth of our region, transforming to Argentina into the world-wide supplier of ecological energy", said. "to take shape an economic and scientific support, in very short time this technology and its benefits will be al reaches of any Argentinean", assured Torbay. (T?lam)

ask for a video of his machine please ?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on March 20, 2006, 09:59:09 PM
It seems it works on repelling forces inside the rotor and the stator.
Inside the stator one repelling magnet can be pulled up a bit via some
kind of mechanical coupling from the rotor and then the rotor has enough
force to rotate on.
The question is, if only one stator magnet is pulled up and then
again pushed down or if ALL stator magnets are going up and down
during rotation one after the other ?

This is not yet clear to me..

Too bad I can not speak spanish language.
Please somebody can translate the most important parts please ?
Thanks.

This is really amazing. Remember Scott Clarke was talking about moving magnets of the stator. Also, in Wesley Snyder's motor the axis of the rotor is wobbling. Maybe this is the mechanical way to overcome the sticky spot.

I'm trying to call Walter Torbay with the telephone number given in his website but an operator tells me something is wrong with the number. Does anyone know how to call Argentina from the US? Also, I sent him e-mal messages but he hasn't responded.

Looks like the "Rotor Arm" may be a ring magnet with certain degrees cut-away? Would this allow the pivoted

I think it looks more like a spring !
Probaby there is a mechanical arm fixed
to the rotor, that unlocks and tilts every next magnet during
rotation of the rotor and springs will push the magnets
back again in place, if this mechanical arm has passed by....
This way I understand the function of the motor.
Also in Scott Clark?s motor there are retreating magnets and
also in the Finsrud device !

Post by: Liberty on March 21, 2006, 05:21:30 AM
After a quick study of the pictures on the web site, the magnet motor is simply a metal rotor that is in two parts and makes up a half cirlce.  The rotor is cut so that it attracts to the next magnet and is constantly in imbalance (between magnets) to enable the spin to take place to the next magnet.  If you look carefully, the metal plate will not directly line up with two magnets at the same time.  One or the other will constantly be attracted to the next magnet.  Two plates are cut like this and make up the half cirlce rotor.

Argentineans create a device without precedents to generate energy?
 
"Santo Grial of the Energy" uses magnets. Unlike other clean energies, with little cost the Magnetic Transgenerador can feed a house. The impressive capacities of this invention that does not need maintenance and can work by 5,000 years, under water, in the space, the Earth and any climatic condition
 
(DyN) - a group of Argentine investigators made a revolutionary discovery in the field of the generation energy from the creation of the Magnetic Transgenerador, a device that through the magnetism can get to generate 1,930 watts of power of 220 volts.

Considered Santo Grial of the Energy, this discovery uses like only power plant permanent magnets, taking advantage of the magnetic property by ricochet equal poles, the deviation of lines of magnetic force and a complex mechanical system that transforms the locked up magnetic energy into permanent magnets in motor, electrical or caloric energy stable and 100 ecological percents.

"In the middle of 2003 the idea arose to find an alternative source of energy to the artificial chemistry or that ruins the medio.ambiente", it indicated to DyN, Walter Torbay, director of Scientific researches and Tecnolo'gicas Independientes (ICYTI), that with its equipment the discovery made.

Torbay emphasized that "the clean energies have a high cost of maintenance and application, for that reason nobody applies them", but it emphasized that the Magnetic Transgenerador "has a cost by unit of about 150 dollars and can generate electricity to feed an address free".

In that sense, it needed that "this device generates 1,930 watts, when an average address consumes 1,500 watts", and remarc? that "maintenance does not need".

The Commission of Scientific researches (CIC) of the government of the Province of Buenos Aires stated the effectiveness of the discovery, and through its president, N?stor Auza; it solved to support the project, that also received the support of the physicist Mario Garabaglia, director of the Center of Investigaciones Opticas (CIOP) and Housey prize to the trajectory like scientist.

Torbay remarc? that the Magnetic Transgenerador "does not consume any type of fuel, does not contaminate, generates electricity without cost, it does not need maintenance and it lasts in the time".

In that sense, it put of relief that "according to scientific researches its energy would last 5,000 years", and emphasized that "to use magnetic energy it works under the water, in mainland, the air, in the deep space, by day or at night and under any climatic condition".

Consequently, it emphasized that "the application field is very ample, can be used to illuminate cities, to calefaccionar them, for the home, the industry, to take electrical energy to zones difficult, for the space exploration, to feed satellites, and inclusively to escalate to implement it within the household-electric ones, marks cellular time and".

"Also it can be used to replace fossil fuels impelling automobiles, boats, submarines", affirmed Torbay.

Also, it indicated that "after its patentamiento and publication they did not take in arriving the economic supplies from very important multinational companies interested in that device", despite which assured that single it will consider "those that allow to help to the country, creating work sources and impelling the economic and scientific growth".

The group of investigators waits now that an economic support of the national State or the Buenosairean one takes shape to finish developing this discovery.

Meanwhile they were invited by the University of New York to disclose the reaches of this phenomenal invention.

It probably works like
"a cat chasing its tail"
The rotor magnet always seeks the stator
magnet that is retracted and if it reaches it,
it already retracts the next stator magnet.

The question is, if the force is enough to pull
the last stator magnet also down again and keep
the rotor moving on and still have more force to
pull down all magnets which where lifted...?

If that?s the case it would resemble Paul Sprain?s motor but is more cleverly done ? the mechanical withdrawal of the magnets (to suddenly suspend the magnetic field at the sticky spot) for which no external energy is spent corresponds to the application of counter-field through external spending of energy in Sprain?s motor. Snyder?s motor doesn?t seem to have any of these additional facilities for overcoming the sticky spot and therefore is more attractive. Same applies probably to Mike Brady?s PERENDEV motor, although we?ve not seen much of it. Of course, Torbay?s so far is the closest of what we?ve seen (although we?ve not actually seen much, just pictures and newspapers clippings) to a commercial application of a real self-sustaining motor, if we don?t count PERENDEV.

Does anyone know when Torbay will be in New York City? I?d definitely go and see the demonstration (luckily, I don?t live far from NYU). I?d like to invite him for a demo at my institute as well. Also, Stefan, do you intend to go to Mike Brady?s presentation in Munich in May? I may consider attending it so we can meet there as well.

If there were not so many words I'd work on cleaning up the translation.  I don't have the time to do that much.  Basically if you go in and correct all of the spelling mistakes (missing accents) the translator will work a lot better.  Unfortunately most people leave off accents when typing on the internet  >:(

forces and the functioning of the motor:

"The main pieces are the rotor arm, the elevables arms and the magnets and the secondary pieces are the screws, rulemanes, bases, etc; that they are used for the subjection, disminucionde friction, estetica, etc.

First we are going to establish some variables: the rotor arm (br) has a starting point which we will call Pn, the magnetica force by ricochet generated by the rotor arm sera Z1 call on the other hand in the external ring we will name to each I modulate elevateable like M1, M2, M3, etc and to its respective magneticas forces by ricochet like F1, F2, F3, etc.Es essential to consider that forces Z and F estan directly related to the size of magnets and the composition of such, of which we ended up deducing that Z=F+F+F=3F.

The angulos of cuts (alpha) in magnets of the modulos elevanles podran to be varied according to agrees to control acceleration magnetica friction, and speed. To knowledge that as we increased (alpha) the friction magnetica sera greater, the greater sera initial acceleration and the constant speed sera minor, whereas if alpha diminishes the initial acceleration sera minor and the constant speed increased.

The angulos of cut (beta) and location of these in magnets of the rotor arm permitiran to control direction of rotation.

The variation produced in the angulos of cut in magnets (alpha and beta) allows the deviation of the lines of force so that when increasing the angulos of cut in anyone of these the deviation of the lines of considerably greater sera magnetica force hacercandoce but to the poles whereas when diminishing these angulos the lines of force were turned aside in inverse form

The variable Q represents the opposed forces in which we included friction, friction, gravity, weight, etc.En the starting point (P1) the rotor arm is in rest generating on the other hand Z1 by mecanico system M4 rises reason why its by ricochet magnetica force does not influence the rotor arm; it is possible to clarify that the rest of the Ms estan all losses. As Z1 is rejected with F1, F2, f3 and also part of F15, f16 we managed to obtain a by ricochet magnetico force that we called X and that sera equal to Z1+F+F+F=X clearing the equation On the other hand we have left X=F+F+F+F+F+F=6F Fq=F we concluded in which X>>>F4 (F4 is the F generated by M4) (we clarified that F4<F due to its displacement and which X>>>Q reason why we forced to the rotor arm to desplazarce towards the position 2(P2), by mecanico system low M4 and M5 rises repeating all the previous process,de this way the rotor arm moves (Pn+1) X=6F-F4-Q=4+ infinitely

Observations: all the external forces of friction, friction, weight and others estan contemplated in Q.Los magnets must be permanetes with high temperature of courie so that the possible overheatings do not degrade their condition of magnet."

@ewitte, please can you translate this exactly ?
Many thanks:


O estos tipo est?n del tomate o saben una pizca de lo que hablan
Es una descripci?n del pricipio de funcionamiento, el concepto es b?sico, necesario, ahora el asunto es si realmente lo lograron hacer funcionar):

IINTENTARE EXPLICAR el principio de funcionamiento de modo a que alguien no muy interiorizado en dicho campo LO PUEDA COMPRENDER FACILMENTE.)

Primero debemos recordar la reaccion que producen entre si dos imanes permanentes enfrentados. Acercandolos hay dos efectos que se pueden producir :cuando los polos son distintos se atraen y cuando los polos son iguales se rechazan ;
Es este ultimo efecto ( el rechazo de polos iguales) el utilizado para el funcionamiento de la invencion. Sumado a este los cortes en los imanes de manera de desviar las lineas de fuerza magnetica pudiendo con estos ultimos controlar direccion,velocidad y aceleracion.

Si logramos que dos imanes se rechacen y uno permanezca inmovil mientras que el otro puede desplazarce este ultimo siempre tendera a desplazarce hacia la posicion con menor influencia de rechazo magnetico.
Logrando que un iman rechazado se desplace a una posicion posterior a la que se encuentra , este en un primer instante no es rechazado y luego de alcanzar dicha posicion el otro iman se reposiciona mecanicamente, obligandolo a desplazarce nuevamente a otra posicion en la caul nuevamente se reposiciona otro iman obligandolo a seguir desplazandose y y repitiendo el reposicionamiento de los imanes se logra un movimiento continuo.
Cabe aclarar que para que el reposicionamiento de los imanes no es necesaria la aplicaci?n de energia externa ya que utilizamos la misma energia magnetica almacenada en los propios imanes

La aceleracion ,el sentido de giro y la velocidad se controlan mediante distintas variantes en los angulos y cortes realizados en los imanes ,los que permiten desviar las lineas de fuerza magnetica seg?n convenga.


FORMA DE HACERLA

La invencion consta de dos tipos de piezas : unas principales y varias secundarias.

Las piezas principales son el brazo rotor ,los brazos elevables y los imanes y las piezas secundarias son los tornillos ,rulemanes , base , etc ; que son utilizados para la sujecion,disminucionde friccion , estetica ,etc .


Primero vamos a establecer algunas variables : el brazo rotor (br) tiene una posicion inicial que llamaremos Pn, la fuerza magnetica de rechazo generada por el brazo rotor sera llamada Z1 por otro lado en el anillo externo nombraremos a cada modulo elevable como M1,M2,M3,etc y a su respectivas fuerzas magneticas de rechazo como F1,F2,F3,etc.Es imprescindible tener en cuenta que las fuerzas Z y F estan directamente relacionadas con el tama?o de los imanes y con la composicion de los mismos, de lo que terminamos deduciendo que Z=F+F+F=3F.


Los angulos de cortes (alfa) en los imanes de los modulos elevanles podran ser variados seg?n convenga para controlar aceleracion friccion magnetica,y velocidad. A saber que a medida que aumentamos (alfa) la friccion magnetica sera mayor, la aceleracion inicial sera mayor y la velocidad constante sera menor ,mientras que si alfa disminuye la aceleracion inicial sera menor y la velocidad constante aumentara.

Los angulos de corte (beta) y ubicacion de estos en los imanes del brazo rotor permitiran controlar sentido de giro.

La variacion producida en los angulos de corte en los imanes (alfa y beta ) permiten la desviacion de las lineas de fuerza de manera que al aumentar el angulos de corte en cualquiera de estos la desviacion de las lineas de fuerza magnetica sera considerablemente mayor hacercandoce mas a los polos mientras que al disminuir estos angulos las lineas de fuerza se desviaran en forma inversa


La variable Q representa las fuerzas opuestas en las que incluimos friccion,rozamiento,gravedad,peso,etc.En la posicion inicial (P1) el brazo rotor se encuentra en reposo generando Z1 por otro lado por sistema mecanico M4 se eleva por lo que su fuerza de rechazo magnetica no influye sobre el brazo rotor ; cabe aclarar que el resto de las M estan todas bajas .
Como Z1 se rechaza con F1,F2,F3 y tambien parte de F15,F16 logramos obtener una fuerza de rechazo magnetico que llamamos X y que sera igual a Z1+F+F+F=X despejando la ecuacion nos queda X=F+F+F+F+F+F=6F Por otro lado Fq=F concluimos en que X>>>F4 (F4 es la F generada por M4) (aclaramos que F4<F debido a su desplazamiento y que X>>>Q por lo que obligamos al brazo rotor a desplazarce hacia la posicion 2(P2), por sistema mecanico M4 baja y se eleva M5 repitiendo todo el proceso anterior ,de esta manera el brazo rotor se desplaza infinitamente (Pn+1) X=6F-F4-Q=4+

Observaciones:
todas las fuerzas externas de rozamiento ,friccion, peso y otras estan contempladas en Q.Los imanes deben ser permannetes con alta temperatura de courie para que posibles recalentamientos no degraden su condicion de iman.

Por otro lado el continuo movimiento circular y el rechazo de polos favorecen y permiten a mantener su condicion magnetica conservando inclusive los polos originales.

Aclaraciones: todas las F se calcularon originalmente en gauss,ademas solo las M y el extremo del brazo rotor son imanes permanentes , el resto deben ser materiales no magenticos(aluminio ,bronce , magnesio, etc). Las F internas deben ser los suficientemente intensas como para que grandes campos magneticos no incluyan en el buen funcionamiento de la invencion..."

Ante todo, una aclaraci?n, la "Explicaci?n del Funcionamiento" no es m?a sino del inventor (WALTER DARIO TORBAY ).

Pienso que la clave (si es cierto que funciona) consiste en este reposicionamiento mec?nico, y caben aqu? dos posibilidades:
1? Es un fraude y no explican este punto a prop?sito.
2? Es la "clave" del mecanismo y su operaci?n es ocultada intencionalmente.

Hasta ahora no he recibido contestaci?n a mis mensajes. Esperemos a ver que pasa. Los peri?dicos anunciaron que ellos ya hab?an patentado el dise?o, de todas maneras ciertas "protecciones" extras no vienen mal.

Cualquier planteo serio y documentado que valide o contradiga esta "explicaci?n oficial" ser? bienvenida.
 

La pregunta de muchos es simplemente: ?De donde sacas la energia? Pues la energia no se crea ni destruye. De ningun sitio, la estoy creando. Ah, bueno.

Yo tengo otra fuente de energia perpetua muy simple. A ver si ustedes le ven la falla:

Un tunel con una placa en el techo y en el suelo entre las que se crea un campo electrico constante. Una esfera cargada que en cuanto la dejas en el suelo del tunel pega un salto hasta al techo. Entonces la sacas del tunel arrastrandola por el techo y ya fuera del tunel se cae al suelo moviendo cualquier dispositivo mecanico para generar energia. Una vez en el suelo la arrastras dentro del tunel otra vez, entonces pega un bote hasta el techo y repites el ciclo.

Babelfish did the job ....? :D

Or these type is of the tomato or knows one picks of which they speak
It is a description of pricipio of operation, the concept it is basic, necessary, now the subject is if they really managed it to make work):

IINTENTARE TO EXPLAIN the principle of operation of way to that somebody not very interiorizado in this field IT CAN INCLUDE/UNDERSTAND FACILMENTE.)

First we must remember the reaction that produces between if two faced permanent magnets. Acercandolos are two effects that can be produced:cuando the poles are different are attracted and when the poles are equal are rejected;
It is this I complete effect (the rejection of equal poles) the used one for the operation of the invention. Added to the this cuts in way magnets to turn aside the lines of magnetica force being able with these ultimos to control direction, speed and acceleration.

If we obtained that two magnets are rejected and one remains inmovil whereas the other can desplazarce this I complete always tendera to desplazarce towards the position with smaller by ricochet magnetico influence.
Obtaining that a rejected magnet moves to a later position to which it is, this at a first moment is not rejected and after reaching this position the other magnet is replaced mecanicamente, forcing it to desplazarce to another position in caul another magnet is replaced again again forcing it to continue moving and and repeating the reposicionamiento of magnets a continuous movement is obtained.
It is possible to clarify that so that the reposicionamiento of magnets is not necessary the external application of energia since we used same energia magnetica stored in own magnets

The acceleration,el direction of rotation and the speed are controlled by means of different variants in the angulos and cuts made in magnets, those that allow to turn aside the lines of magnetica force according to agree.


IT FORMS TO DO IT

The invention consists of two types of pieces: main and several secondary ones.

The main pieces are the rotor arm, the elevables arms and the magnets and the secondary pieces are the screws, rulemanes, bases, etc; that they are used for the subjection, disminucionde friction, estetica, etc.


First we are going to establish some variables: the rotor arm (br) has a starting point which we will call Pn, the magnetica force by ricochet generated by the rotor arm sera Z1 call on the other hand in the external ring we will name to each I modulate elevateable like M1, M2, M3, etc and to its respective magneticas forces by ricochet like F1, F2, F3, etc.Es essential to consider that forces Z and F estan directly related to the size of magnets and the composition of such, of which we ended up deducing that Z=F+F+F=3F.


The angulos of cuts (alpha) in magnets of the modulos elevanles podran to be varied according to agrees to control acceleration magnetica friction, and speed. To knowledge that as we increased (alpha) the friction magnetica sera greater, the greater sera initial acceleration and the constant speed sera minor, whereas if alpha diminishes the initial acceleration sera minor and the constant speed increased.

The angulos of cut (beta) and location of these in magnets of the rotor arm permitiran to control direction of rotation.

The variation produced in the angulos of cut in magnets (alpha and beta) allows the deviation of the lines of force so that when increasing the angulos of cut in anyone of these the deviation of the lines of considerably greater sera magnetica force hacercandoce but to the poles whereas when diminishing these angulos the lines of force were turned aside in inverse form


The variable Q represents the opposed forces in which we included friction, friction, gravity, weight, etc.En the starting point (P1) the rotor arm is in rest generating on the other hand Z1 by mecanico system M4 rises reason why its by ricochet magnetica force does not influence the rotor arm; it is possible to clarify that the rest of the Ms estan all losses.
As Z1 is rejected with F1, F2, f3 and also part of F15, f16 we managed to obtain a by ricochet magnetico force that we called X and that sera equal to Z1+F+F+F=X clearing the equation On the other hand we have left X=F+F+F+F+F+F=6F Fq=F we concluded in which X>>>F4 (F4 is the F generated by M4) (we clarified that F4<F due to its displacement and which X>>>Q reason why we forced to the rotor arm to desplazarce towards the position 2(P2), by mecanico system low M4 and M5 rises repeating all the previous process,de this way the rotor arm moves (Pn+1) X=6F-F4-Q=4+ infinitely

Observations:
all the external forces of friction, friction, weight and others estan contemplated in Q.Los magnets must be permannetes with high temperature of courie so that the possible overheatings do not degrade their condition of magnet.

On the other hand the continuous circular movement and the rejection of poles favor and allow to maintain their magnetica condition conserving including the original poles.

Explanations: all the F originally calculated in Gaussian, ademas single the Ms and the end of the rotor arm is permanent magnets, the rest must be material not magenticos(aluminio, bronze, magnesium, etc). The F internal must be the sufficiently intense ones like so that great magneticos fields they do not include in the good operation of the invention... "

First of all, a explanation, the "Explanation of the Operation" is not mine but of the inventor (WALTER DARIO TORBAY).

I think that the key (if is certain that it works) consists of this mechanical reposicionamiento, and fit two possibilities here:
1? Is a fraud and they do not explain this point to intention.
2? Is the "key" of the mechanism and its operation is hidden intentionally.

Until I have not received answer to my messages now. Let us hope to see that it happens. The newspapers announced that they already had patented the design, of all certain ways "extra protections" do not come bad.

Nobody I raise serious and documented that validates or contradicts this "official explanation" will be welcome.
?

The question of many is simply: Of where extractions energia? Then energia is not created nor destroys. Of ningun site, I am creating it. Ah, good.

I have another very simple source of energia perpetual. To see if you see the fault him:

A tunnel with a plate in the ceiling and the ground between which a constant electrico field is created. A loaded sphere that as soon as you leave it in the ground of the tunnel sticks a jump until a the ceiling. Then it extractions of the tunnel dragging it by the ceiling and already outside the tunnel any mecanico device falls to the ground moving to generate energia. Once in the ground you drag it within the tunnel again, then it sticks a boat until the ceiling and you repeat the cycle.

Hey Guys,

The best way to figure this motor out would be to get into direct contact with the inventor. Now, it seems that some of these news releases are quite recent (http://www.asalup.org/content/view/154/1/ for instance which was last modified on the 19th of March). Maybe we can contact the editor who wrote the article for updated contact information for the inventor.

As for the translations, I can speak some spanish (took it in High school) and will be able to translate the passages if no one else can, but like everyone else here, I'm busy trying to keep up in school at the moment and can't spare the extra time just yet.

An Argentinean embassy in Europe was also contacted and they didn?t seem to know anything about this as well. Tried to call Torbay on his cell phone 54-9-223-15-5051-220 but with no success. I also wrote an e-mail to the director of the Argentinean newspaper Diario de Cuyo which has a story about Torbay?s motor in its issue of 8 March, 2006. No reply from them yet. Will keep on trying.

For the records I am Biochemist and I also speek spanish, but I will not even try to translate something about this "machine". I does not worth the effort. I am convinced this is about a cheat, fraud or hoax. Anyone who knows a little about physics/thermodynamics know that energy/mass does not come out of nothing: it just can be converted. This is just another classic perpetual-movement-machine fraud. At first I thought it was some kind of system who could "get" energy from the magnetic force from the earth, in which case the "source" of energy could be explained, and the inventor gets the Nobel prize, but this is not the case. I Think the guy is just trying to get some stupid to fall in the trap and give away some money. I would not bother to call the guy or follow this case.

_GonZo_, the beauty of this kind of experiment is that it doesn?t need to have anything to do with a University. Put is on a table, let it run by itself and that?s enough for anyone, not just the experts, to conclude it?s viable. The problem is whether it does that. I can?t fathom that anyone would write about it, even a newspaper (in fact so many of them), if it hasn?t been shown to work as claimed.

How can one get in touch with the author and actually see the device?

Also, please translate the following:

?Primero vamos a establecer algunas variables : el brazo rotor (br) tiene una posicion inicial que llamaremos Pn, la fuerza magnetica de rechazo generada por el brazo rotor sera llamada Z1 por otro lado en el anillo externo nombraremos a cada modulo elevable como M1,M2,M3,etc y a su respectivas fuerzas magneticas de rechazo como F1,F2,F3,etc.Es imprescindible tener en cuenta que las fuerzas Z y F estan directamente relacionadas con el tama?o de los imanes y con la composicion de los mismos, de lo que terminamos deduciendo que Z=F+F+F=3F.

Hi Omnibus, you are right to make any experiment you do not have to be in a university or even in any other technical group, but after it is published in NewspaperS as it has been dont you think that some technical groups will not be interested in the device?

This is the translation of that text wich is the biggest explanation about how it works by the inventor:

First we are going to establish some variables: the rotor arm (br) has a starting point which we will call Pn, the magnetic force by ricochet generated by the rotor arm will be call Z1 call on the other side in the external ring we will name to each elevateable modulus like M1, M2, M3, etc. and to its respective magneticas forces by ricochet like F1, F2, F3, etc. It is? essential to consider that forces Z and F are directly related to the size of magnets and the composition of such, of which we ended up deducing that Z=F+F+F=3F.

The cuts angle (alpha) in magnets of the lifting magnest can be varied in order to control acceleration, magnetic friction, and speed. To knowledge that as we increased (alpha) the magnetic friction will be greater, the greater initial acceleration will be higher and the constant speed will be lowerand otherwise.

The cut angle (beta) and location of these in magnets of the rotor arm will allow us to control direction of rotation.

The variation produced in the cut angle in magnets (alpha and beta) allows the deviation of the lines of force so that when increasing the cut angles in anyone of these the deviation of the lines will be considerably greater so the magnetic force when diminishing these angles the lines of force were turned aside in inverse form

The variable Q represents the opposed forces in which we included friction, friction, gravity, weight, etc. En the starting point (P1) the rotor arm is in rest generating Z1, in the other side by mecanic system M4 is rised so its ricochet magnetic force does not influence the rotor arm; let me clarify that the rest of the Ms are all down.

As Z1 is rejected with F1, F2, f3 and also part of F15, F16 we managed to obtain a by ricochet magnetic force that we will call X and that will be equal to Z1+F+F+F=X clearing the equation X=F+F+F+F+F+F=6F.
On other side Fq=F we can concluse that X>>>F4 (F4 is generated by M4) let me clarify that F4<F due its desplacementt and that X>>>Q so we are forcing to the rotor arm to move to position 2(P2), mecanically M4 goes down and M5 elevates repeating all process, this way the rotor arm moves infinitely? (Pn+1) X=6F-F4-Q=4+?

 
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 24, 2006, 06:09:25 PM
Thanks a lot for the translation, _GonZo_. This is what I understood so far:


Denote by Pn the starting point of the arm br and by Z1 the magnetic force which the rotor arm generates by repulsion.

In the external ring (the stator), the magnets that can be raised are denoted by M1, M2, M3, etc. with their respective repulsive magnetic forces F1, F2, F3, etc.

It is essential to consider that forces Z and F are directly related to the size of magnets and their composition. Thus we end up deducing that Z = F + F +  F = 3F.

The magnets that are lifted (the stator magnets) are cut at an angle alpha which can be varied in order to control acceleration, magnetic friction, and speed. The experiment shows that when increasing alpha the magnetic friction becomes greater, the greater initial acceleration and the lower the constant speed and vice versa.

On the other hand, the angle beta at which the rotor magnets are cut and the location of this cut allows to control direction of rotation.

Varying alpha and beta angles allows for the deviation of the lines of force. Thus, when increasing these angles the deviation of said lines is considerably greater which leads to the increase of the magnetic force. Conversely, when decreasing these angles the lines of force are turned aside.

Denote by Q the forces opposing the motion of the rotor. These opposing forces are friction, rozamiento (?), gravity, weight, etc.

At the starting point P1 the rotor arm is at rest generating force Z1. On the side of the rotor magnet M4 is raised by a mechanical system so that its repulsive magnetic force does not influence the rotor arm; the rest of the magnets Ms are all down.

As Z1 is opposed by F1, F2, F3 as well as by part of F15, F16 a net repulsive magnetic force X is generated equal to Z1 + F + F + F = X which when Z1 is replaced leads to X = F + F + F + F + F + F = 6F.

In conclusion, we observe that X >>> F4 (F4 is generated by M4; note also that F4 < F due to its displacement) and also that X >>> Q thus the rotor arm is forced to move to position P2 where M4 goes down mechanically while now M5 goes up thus repeating the whole process and allowing in this way the rotor arm to move infinitely due to the always present net force X = 6F ? F4 ? Q > 4.

If you have a look at this picture to the above explanation,
the rotor is turning CLOCKWISE in this picture below here.
Now the question is:
When does M4 go up again to the rest of the stator magnets being in a row? ?

If the left front of the rotor is still at M5 position or if the right side of the rotor
has completely passed M4 already ?

So how many stator magnets are down altogether in each position ? Only one or 3 alltogether ?
(M4, M5 and M6 alltogether or just one of them ?)

(http://overunity.com/torbay/transgenerador.jpg)

Is the force calculation then correct as is stated above ??

The picture, as I understand it, seems to show the rotor being against M1, M2 and M3. They push on the rotor and cause it to move to the left were magnet M4 should be. Magnet M4 is raised, however, and doesn?t oppose the motion. Just when the rotor gets snugly against the M4 position, magnet M4 is dropped but magnet M5 is raised and so on.

Post by: hartiberlin on March 24, 2006, 07:31:28 PM
Okay, so only one magnet is down at a time,
so when M5 is going down M4 will be pulled up again ?
But then M4 has to be pulled up against a big counter force as the
rotor is still full frontal against M4 !Is this right ?
This will need a pretty big force to pull M4 again up !

Is the calculation still right then ?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 24, 2006, 08:22:16 PM
It appears that M4 is not pulled up again until the next round which comes up after so many magnets (I guess 15 all in all). The raising is one magnet at a time.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 24, 2006, 08:24:54 PM
The whole thing is supposedly based on a very clever mechanical system of synchronized mechanical raising and lowering of the magnets.

Hi Omnibus,
look again into the picture.
The rotor in this picture is 3 stator magnets wide, that means
after passing 3 stator magnets the rotor is gone by.
So when do you think from the description that M4 is pulled up again
inside the picture ?

I also ask myself if the force to pull up the M4 stator into the basic upper row line
is the same if the rotor faces M4 in the center, or if the rotor has already passed by....
As all other magnets are in repell mode too, it might not make a difference where
the rotor?s position just is, as all magnet field are working together to repell the rotor
and the force to pull up one stator magnet might be the same all over the circle ?

Would be interesting, if someone could simulate this with FEMM simulation program to see,
how big the forces really are...

Also from his first model with the wood frame it seems, that he just tilts (turns) also
the stator magnets by about 45 degrees and not just pushes them up only ?

After reading in some other forums in spanish and looking at his pictures I have now more clear how it works "if it works"

It is very very simple so simple that may work, actually he says it does not matter much if the magnes are equals or not they just have to be about the same and even does not mater if the magnets move up more or less due diferences betwen them.

Here is how it goes:

The external circle are a number of magnets all of them facing N in
The Rotor (he calls it rotor arm) are a number of magnet facing N out

The magnes in the outside can move up away from the ones in the rotor, but they are forced to be in the down position with a spring that makes a stronger force than the repulsion of the rotor magnets.

The rotor has a wheel that moves together with the rotor and pushes up one magnet a time, if you look at the picture atached you can see the ramps that wheel pushes while turnig and lifts one magnet at each time.

For what he says the force need to push up this one magnet is smaller than the force created by the repulsing magnets. So it turns and move next magnet up and the one that was lifted before goes down again (becasuse of the spring) and the cicle continues...

Very simple yes...

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: _GonZo_ on March 24, 2006, 10:19:18 PM
Sorry forgot to attach the picture were you can see the ramps that makes the magnets to go up when the wheel passes under them.

Now I am making calculations, lets see what comes out.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: _GonZo_ on March 24, 2006, 10:45:20 PM
Well calculations done...? :-[ it does not work.

Why:

Let me see if I can explain it correctly.
If all trhe magnest were down the motor will not move OK
If one magnet is moved up then it will move. The force that creates that movement is equal to the repulsion force of that magnet we have moved up.
Then the rotor in that movement have to move up the next magnet, but there is an spring that keep it down and the force of that spring to keep it down is the same or bigger than the repulsion force of that magnet.

So the rotor when it turns have to make the work of lifting one magnet that is compresed down with the same force as the rotor is geting from the other magnets, so no move will hapen as there is looses in earth systems...? :(

Hope it is clear.

Hello All,

If I may put my two cents worth in; I have been contemplating the operation of this motor and thanks to _GonZo_ for clearing up the ideas behind how it runs. Actually, I think there may be one small factor you are leaving out. When all the Stator magnets are down, the entire system is in equilibrium, yes, however, when one of the stator magnets are displaced, you are essentially having the combined repulsive force of all the other magnets pushing the rotor out, not just one of the magnets. Check out the diagram I made below. How I picture it is like this:

1. While the motor is in balance, the stator magnets behave as one giant radially magnetized ring magnet with the North Pole facing in.

2. Once a piece of this ?ring? is removed the fields are unbalanced and you have essentially one large curved magnet with its north pole facing in. We all know from playing with magnets that when you repel two magnets against each other, the side of the magnet that the other magnet is closest to will be the direction it is repelled in (sorry for the bad description, refer to my duiagram). In other words, look at the rotor as being a single magnet that is on one end of this giant, curved, North Pole magnet.

3. Because the rotor is close to the break in the giant magnet, it is repelled towards that break, but not just by its neighboring magnet, but by the combined field strength of all the stator magnets since they will behave more or less like one single magnet.

So it is very possible that the combined force of the other stator magnets pushing the rotor may be enough to overcome the resistance force needed to lift the one stator magnet as the cycle continues. This could be possuble if the springs used to hold the magnets down are tensined just enough to balance out the magnetic force plus a tiny bit more. That way, you really wouldn't need much force to move the magnets.... It makes me think of Butch LaFonte's balance fixture. When big forces are balanced, it doesn't take much to unbalance them.

Again, just my two cents  :)

God Bless,
Jason O

I understand perfectly what you mean, and I understand that it may be dificult to understand, let me make you some questions:

In a ring of lets say 10 magnets and each one is aplyin a force to the rotor of 1N/m when you take out one of them, how much force is aplied then to the rotor?

And in order to keep one magnet in its position how much reaction force you need to aply if it is repeled 1N/m?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 25, 2006, 01:08:48 AM
Stefan, the three-magnet rotor is being pushed from the position it has in the picture to the left, away form magnets M1, M2 and M3 (M4 up). As the rotor turns towards the position of M4, the magnet M4 is being dropped while the magnet M5 is being raised.

The presumption is that the force that drives the rotor away from M1, M2 and M3 is so strong that it not only moves the rotor and overcomes all friction but is also enough to lift magnet M5.

There is one more problem, though ? the opposition to the motion of the rotor by the falling M4. While M5 may be slowly upped so it won?t oppose the further motion when the rotor gets in the position as in the picture (but this time against M2, M3 and M4), the magnet M4 has to go down somewhat suddenly at the right moment. If M4 goes down too soon it may oppose the motion efficiently and the rotor will stop.

Post by: hartiberlin on March 25, 2006, 01:10:58 AM
Hi Guys,
this motor is really puzzling me !
I think it could work !
The springs are very important !
I think here are 2 systems at work each superimposing !

1. Imagine no magnets at all inside this motor, but springs being there
to push down the stator versus the rotor. ( again no magnets inside rotor and stator)
Now, if we move the rotor Made of a triangular ramp up and down) one stator further,
we lift M5 and M4 goes down.
That means we have to apply the same force for lifting M5 as M4 gives us back
via its spring by pushing the rotor to the next position.

Imagine a triangular lifting and pushing down ramp rotor setup without magnets.

To push up M5 (actually moving it out of the stator rowline)
needs the same energy as the rotor gets from M4 when the spring
of M4 pushes the downramp part of the rotor down. ( M4 aligning again with the stator rowline)


Thus the forces are in equilibrium and only the mechanical losses prevent the rotor to move
on after a few cycles, when you give the rotor a spin. But without mechanical losses
(spring and friction losses) the rotor would move on indefinately....
So you see, this part of the system is there and only has small mechanical losses.

2. Now the second parts with the magnets come into play !
As Jason pointed already out, the whole stator stack acts as a big magnet
creating a very big force versus the rotor magnet, so it is easy to push the magnet
with a factor 15:3 in the case of the Torbay drawing into the clockwise direction.
So this 15:3 force just must be a bit ?bigger than the initial uplift spring force
plus the mechanical losses Q.
Also the rotor gets also back the stored spring energy of the spring of M4,
it will propelled even further more.

So I think there is just a mechanical setup required of the right spring force
constants and the right number of stator versus rotor magnets.

I think this motor is pretty genuine, but I also think the presented prototypes
in the pictures are not able to generate 2000 Watts, maybe 10 to 100 Watts,
but not more when you look at the size of the generator and the lamp connected....

But with a bigger size I guess one could get into the KiloWatts range !

Regards, Stefan.

I agree, this is a very clever idea and if properly implemented it may work. I'll be amazed if it won't. Unless, we're overlooking something. Of course, the final proof will be to see the device on a table spinning by itself, untouched.

The e-mails I sent to two of the Argentinean newspapers covering the invention haven't been answered yet. Probably because of the national hiloday in Argentina. Will try Monday again. I'm also eagerly waiting for Wesley Snyder's demo. If he can show an independently running motor (without holding it in his hands) that'll do it too. Scott Clarke promised to show his motor as well. Not to speak of Mike Brady.

Hi all,

Here?s two more cents worth of contemplations. I was looking at the photos of Torbay?s wooden prototype and I was trying to see how he might have the magnet(s) in his wooden rotor oriented. If you look at the picture, it looks like just one single ceramic disk magnet:

(http://club.telepolis.com/LICYTA/ima/p9.jpg)

I drew up another diagram showing my idea of how it could work in the simplest form. I also simulated this diagram and found that the rotor responds with the most torque with the stator magnet directly on the right is moved. It is obvious to me now that this mechanism works? I wonder if there is a better way to do this though?

God Bless,
Jason O
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina

Simpler way would be to do it in a way similar to Wesley Snyder. Torbay's construction, however, allows for a more powerful motor for commercial purposes.

What do you mean when you said you simulated the diagram? Did you do any calculations of the resulting forces?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Jdo300 on March 25, 2006, 05:35:11 AM
Hi Omnibus,

Yes I simulated the forces that were exerted on the rotor magnet when one of the eight stator magnets were taken away. I took each magnet away to see which one would cause the most torque to be exerted on the rotor. The results were quite substantial although the numbers were not important since I don?t know what size and type of magnets he was using. However, the simulator I used (FEMME) only simulates two-dimensional setups so I couldn?t directly test the pivoting arm to see how much force would be exerted on it. I have another program that will do that but it will take some time to set up right. Plus it would be nice if we could get a rough idea of the scale of the motor first.

God Bless,
Jason O

That?s interesting. Can you do a simulation of a radially magnetized toroid  with a rectangular magnet in the spacing? Or, better yet, an 11 segment polygon (each segment being a magnet), radially magnetized, and a rectangular magnet within the enclosure?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina

Hi Omnibus,

Sure, draw me up a simple diagram showing what you want the magnets to look like and some rough dimensions and I'll do it. What data are you looking for? I'll have to use my 3D simulator to do the radial magnet since FEMME croaks on them.

Hi Omnibus,

Without even running that simulation yet, I can tell you that there is a measurable force on the magnet inside the ring when it is in the setup you describe. I've actually simulated models like this before but the 3D simulator doesn't give consistent results. From the models I have done, it shows a good amount of force but little to no torque; so in effect, it is contradicting itself. I'll try it again though with the magnet sizes you mentioned to see if anything comes of it though.

This model is definitely worth trying though  ;)

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on March 25, 2006, 07:18:15 AM
These plastic strips magnets is like a big rubber band.
They have a constant Northpole at the one side and
a constant southpole at the other side.
There are some, that are about 2 to 5 mm thick,
10 mm wide and maybe he gut out 10 cm long to lay around his rotor.
So if he just has
cut an enough long band ( 10 cm maybe ) out of it and layed it into
the rotor it would be like a ring which you can see on his photo.

Hi Stefan,

Ok I see what you're talking about now, I have some of that strip stuff too. But if the rotor is one constant north pole magnet, then how is the rotor going to turn? there has to be some break in it somewhere to give the magnets somewhere to want to go. Otherwise it wouldn't care if there was a break in the outer ring of magnets because the pole of the rotor would be symmetrical on all sides. Am I missing something here ???

God Bless,
Jason O
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 25, 2006, 11:39:29 AM
Jason, I?ve been trying for some time to set up an experiment similar to that shown in the sketch. The biggest problem so far is finding a radially magnetized toroid with good homogeneous doughnut-shape field. I have axially magnetized toroids which are the usual type. They don?t do the job. A company agreed to make a radially magnetized one for about $2000 which I still don?t find justified before I?ve tried simpler (and less expensive) ways.

So far I?ve tried magnetized plastic strips just like the ones Stefan describes, bent in a circle. The problem with these strips is that their magnetic field is too weak. Also, it doesn?t appear that the field they create is homogeneous. I?ll get my teslameter in a day or two (unfortunately I don?t have with me now) to see what?s with the field. It appears that overall the field created by this strip, made into a circle, has poles. The rotor turns and sticks at a certain position.

This puzzled me. The doughnut shaped field should be axially symmetric and it appears that some unsuspected overlapping of fields had occurred which creates ?superpoles?. I don?t understand that. More likely, that problem appears due to inhomogeneities in the strip.

A similar situation is observed with a polygon made of 11 RadioShack magnets. The field is much stronger now but again appears non-homogeneous (in addition to that caused by the polygon). It appears that the individual magnets differ in strength quite a bit which may be the cause of the problem. Hope to be able to find better matching magnets when I get the teslameter.

With this 11 magnet setup the rotor again (as with the plastic strip) turns and stops, stuck at those newly created poles. When I hold this 11-magnet stator above the rotor I?m able to make the rotor turn by slight motions of the hand (which some suspect, I think unjustifiably, Snyder does in his video). This, of course, isn?t what we want.

It?s interesting to model this and I appreciate your effort. It, of course, puzzles me too that the model shows a good amount of force but little to no torque. What is the basis of this modeling? Is it based on finite element method or has some other underlying method? Could it be that for some reason that particular shape (toroid) couldn?t be modeled properly?

That's correct. When the three rotor magnets are exactly facing three of the stator magnets only one magnet is raised. At the moments before the second picture (between the first and the second picture) there are two displaced magnets -- one which is on its way down and another one on its way up.

Well the opinion about the video on the Spanish forum is that it is a fake because you can only see a turning rotor that lifts up the magnets but the invertor does not shows the bottom of the device.
So they tell him that unless he shows a video of the device turning and the bottom side they will not belive him.

After that there is 3 responses under different names in the same post telling that they have seen it working and they belive it works and such... but those 3 responses are made under the same IP number so they have send the inventor to hell...

The problem was that the topic  http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?t=3314&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.  (http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?t=3314&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.) is closed and I couldn?t post there. I saw another topic  http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?p=34915#34915  (http://www.hispaseti.org/foroWanaH/viewtopic.php?p=34915#34915) which seemed to be devoted to the motor in question and I kindly asked them to help me in understanding the principle and finding contact info of the inventor. Instead of addressing these issues they ?sent me to hell? as _GonZo_ puts it and the conversation went nowhere. Of course, unjustified negativism will do nothing more than make the person even more ambitious in getting to the bottom of it.

Now we already know the principle of action of the motor and it doesn?t seem unreasonable as the colleagues from the Spanish forum seemed to unjustifiably imply. Also, the fact that the video doesn?t show the bottom of the device is a minor point which isn?t enough to provide good grounds to outright send the device to hell. It seems to me some other motives are into play here, not exactly connected with scientific exploration.

Omnibus, Gonzo, from my point of view, this topic is completely "burned" in the hispaseti forum because they caught the inventor (or "someone related") and some "support posts" with the same IP address. My advice is forget it (the forum) because people, who feel cheated or misleaded, use to refuse anything else about the topic ("hells included"). This can be reasonable ... or not, but that is.
To make public the IP addresses in some cases could be good ("transparency") ... or not. It?s an admin ethic problem.

Thank you, orionjf for your clarification.

I wonder, however, about something else. If paranoia is to be involved, could it be that the administrator had manipulated the IP addresses of the supporters to appear as the same IP address and thus to compromise easily,  with just one stroke, the inventor?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: orionjf on March 26, 2006, 01:27:17 AM
Maybe, Omnibus, you?re right ...
Talking about the device, I see a constant goal in these kind of devices: to use less energy for creating an unstable status than the system "gives" moving to the next stable status. Then there is a positive net energy "balance" (energy "extracted" from magnets). The invertor has released a brief force analysis (too much "simple" probably) but it will be a better argument to make an energy analysis. This could be very simple too: If Ec<Ep (Ec Energy for making changes for reaching an unstable status and Ep energy -potential- that cuases the rotor moves to the next stable status) then we can cheer !!!!!!!!!

In that Spanish forum they are very unpolite. And they do not deserve much atention. So forget about them...

In my opinion this device does not work, as I explained before. But that does not mean that I do not help you all to translate and help you in your researches as I promised.

I sugest to keep an eye on inventors web page, and time will tell....

Yes, Gonzo,
from what I can understand the Spanish forum people are not very polite, I don?t know
why, cause Omnibus was asking very polite. Maybe they don?t like the English language over there
or they are mostly kids there, I don?t know.
So let?s try to find the video elsewhere and maybe concentrate on a FEMM or Maxwell3D simulation
of the forces at play in this this device, so we can tell, if this thing can really work...
Maybe
Jason can try a quick FEMM simulation cause he knows this program very well, if he has got some
free time..

Otherwise, why would the inventor go through so many prototypes, if it would not work...
I guess he was bought out by the Argentina military black projects already and has stopped
communicating with the Internet or he was bought out by a big company, who wants to
develop a better product in total silence.... we will see, but at least we now know the
function principle from all the data gathered in the last days.

Notice what ridiculous arguments against Torbay?s motor are presented in this link, at that, by people devoted to fighting pseudoscience:  http://www.asalup.org/content/view/154/1/  (http://www.asalup.org/content/view/154/1/). Here is an excerpt translated with the help of BabelFish:

?Anyone with a vague idea of the history of science would know that in many occasions swindlers have appeared alleging to have invented a ?perpetual motion machine". After these innumerable deceits, one should think that we should be more cautious and when one declares to have produced "free energy" some alarms should start sounding. Nothing of that sort happened to the "magnetic motor", invented by Walter Torbay in Mar del Plata, Argentina; when Channel 8 of Mar del Plata as well as several newspapers, radios and tv-channels made an announcement impelled by unprecedented nationalism and exitismo (?).?

Also

?What hasn?t been said in the media is that to magnetize the material comes at a cost. And this cost must be necessarily greater than the energy gain produced by the equipment, unless the "magnetic motor" breaks the laws of the thermodynamics.?

This ?criticism? is methodologically incorrect. No matter what the truth about the reality of Torbay?s claims is denouncing these claims on the basis of previous failures is unfounded. Unfounded is also to require from an experiment necessarily to obey the laws of thermodynamics. The correct argument works in just the opposite way. The laws of thermodynamics have been accepted only because they have not been shown to be violated by any experiment. If an experiment appears, however, which violates the laws of thermodynamics then it is the findings from the experiment that would take precedence. Our understanding of thermodynamics has to change in such a case. This is not to say that Torbay?s claims are necessarily real. They may not be and still the mentioned methodological principle will continue to hold.

Also, never in any thermodynamic or other scientific analyses of energy balance in a machine is the energy to make the machine taken into account.

Therefore, the above critical ?arguments? must be discarded. There may or may not be other arguments against Torbay?s claims but those specific ?arguments?, mentioned above, should necessarily be discarded.

I strongly encouraged the writer of the text in the link to visit personally Torbay and verify whether the motor is indeed self-sustaining. This is not difficult to be done. All the writer has to do is see the rotor turning all by itself for, say, an hour without anyone touching it and without applying external energy. I also asked him to help me get in touch with the inventor so that I can also make an independent assessment of the claim that the motor is self-sustaining.

This would be a real tragedy if that were the case. Similar thoughts cross my mind too and I hope I?m wrong.

Also, if this is such a fraud, as some are desperately trying to prove, why are they hiding the inventor? Why don?t they allow us to go see him and his device and verify that it isn?t working. I for one, aside from the claims of the inventor, want to verify also the claims of the critics that it?s a non-working device.

In ASALUP we are working in another article that will be published

This week we will have a copy of the patent. In Argentina the patent office is very old fashionated, you have to go there to request a patent, pay a fee and the wait 15 days, that is way we will have it this week. The patent will be published in our website (after scanning).
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on March 27, 2006, 12:42:46 AM
@sbassi,
Thanks for the infos.

The magnets probably get cold,
when the motor is running, so it
is just violating the second law, which
is by the way no law at all, cause it
only was defined by experience, but there are
many experiments, which violate the "second law"
under certain conditions...

Torbay is not yet using this motor probably himself
as the current prototype is only able to generate at maximum
around 20 to 50 Watts as it looks like from the burning lamp
foto. The upper attached generator is just too small
to generate more power and the motor itsself is also probably
too small to deliver more power... so at this stage it is
common, that the inventor still uses the grid for his own
electricity, if he does not want to mess around with battery
recharging and 12 Volts to 230 Volts inverters all the time ....

But if the basic principle really works, it is easy to upscale into the
MegaWatts range too.

Have you seen the videos yet ?

Can you ask please somebody in your forum who has stored the old
AVI videos to upload them over here or put them up via
rapidshare.de or something simular ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

Ahhh this is exciting! I've been looking all over the place for his patent but this explains why I haven't been able to find it on the web. I anxiously await to see any videos and info they can dig up. Rather than speculating on its operation, it would be easier to just make a test model and verify it for ourselves. What would be optimal is if we could establish a direct line of communication with him and have him show us how to build one.

@ Stefan:

I'll see what I can do to make a simulation of the motor, but I will really need to know more information about the dimensions of the pieces to get any kind of accurate results.

God Bless,

sbassi, I beg to respectfully disagree with the points you make:

argue that Walter's magnetic engine is impossible because of

thermodynamic laws, so this should set off some alarms on the mass

If Torbay has indeed demonstrated to the media lighting a bulb with no power from without, no alarms connected with any laws of thermodynamics should be set off.

This is the most extraordinary scientific demonstration one can ever dream of which needs no special verification (except for careful inspection, by those with paranoid inclinations, to assure there?s no fraudulent secret external power source attached to the motor).

Quote
I also said that if this were true, he wouldn't be working on his basement, because this is so important that would lead him to the Nobel price.

The fact that he is working in his basement should by no means be held against Тorbay. By no means ... Quite the contrary, this fact should be considered in his favor.

Not to say that demonstrating a self-sustaining device deserves more than a Nobel prize.

Quote
We also believe that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.


To place a motor on a table and have it run all by itself without supplying it with energy from the outside is more than an extraordinary evidence. If Torbay can demonstrate this you will have more than you?ve ever asked for.

Quote
His is showing his "miraculous device" in TV before doing it in any respectable scientific journal or scientific society.

I congratulate him for this. This is the right thing to do. If he has the goods and can really demonstrate self-sustaining device he will be out of his mind to go through the judgments of people who have not contributed for science anything remotely close to what he is contributing.

This reminds me of a short story by Karel Chapek about a man who had the ability to fly and who lost this ability after he had to appear before a commission which began giving him advice how to go about his flying.

No, Torbay should not appear before such commissions, learned societies and what not. He should just bring his device to the fore and show it to as many people as possible and should reveal every detail of it so that anybody can make it, despite the desire of some to make it go away by their ?laws of thermodynamics? whose essence they even hardly understand.

Quote
He also claimed that he rejected a $350M offer to sell it, this is
also very suspicious.

Not suspicious at all. On the contrary, selling his invention to a company is exactly what Torbay should not do. Why? Because once it becomes a property of another party, that party is in its full right to lock it in their safes and never allow anybody to use it ever. That is detrimental to the needs of society and obviously Torbay is fully aware of it and should be commended for that.

Quote
As far as I know, he is paying local electric utility company instead of using his putative invention.

It?s a kinda funny proposition to make the shoemaker wear the shoes he himself makes. So, the composer, if we carry your implications further, should only listen to his own music ... or the writer should read only his own books ... Thus, instead of thinking how to perfect his invention, you imply that Torbay should occupy himself first with using his own invention to supply his own needs for electric  power. It somehow appears that your understanding is that discoverers make discoveries to personally benefit from them. I can?t even believe that I am commenting on that.

Quote
So we are not objecting it based only on the fact that it is against
well established laws of nature.

As I explained above, your objections should be discarded.

First, not only that the viability of an experiment such as the direct demonstration of self-sustaining device must not be judged on the basis of the known laws of Nature but it should be just the contrary ? our understanding of the laws of Nature should be modified if a self-sustaining device can be demonstrated.

and

Second, any of the additional objections you pose must go, as I explained.

Your objection that Torbay has not included in the energy balance the energy necessary to spend for making the machine is also obviously incorrect and should be rejected outright.

Bad debunking is bad debunking and has nothing to do with Torbays?s claims. Bad debunking is your problem, Torbay has nothing to do with your problem. Don?t make it appear that somehow Torbay has problems just because you have such.

From the last part of your post I understand that Torbay is trying to avoid contact with you. Honestly, after I saw your approach I don?t blame him. He?d be much better off avoiding such useless contacts that only waste time and would instead carry out direct demonstrations of his self-sustaining device to as larger an audience as possible.

To prove that his device is viable Torbay has to do only one thing ? place the device on a table and show to the World (the media or whatever other avenue he decides) for, say, an hour that the rotor turns without any external supply of energy. Nothing more. Period. End of story. If this happens all this talk of laws of thermodynamics, respectable scientific journals, scientific societies and the like will, at most, sound mildly amusing.

OK. Start with one magnet up, as is in the picture. Don?t start as you?ve done in your previous explanation with all magnets down. At that, a tangential net force is claimed to exist which pushes the magnet rotors away from their position shown in the picture, towards the gap. It is also presumed that the net repulsive force in question is not only enough to turn the motor but also to lift one magnet off of the gap while the rotor is moving towards it next position facing three stator magnets down. During this motion the magnet that was initially up is dropped at the right moment so that the net tangential force is restored to move the rotor further away, towards the new gap, and thus to repeat the whole above-described procedure all over again. This keeps repeating and the rotor turns indefinitely.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: _GonZo_ on March 27, 2006, 01:48:40 PM
OK lets do it looking to inventors picture:

(http://www.overunity.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=866.0;attach=1003;image)


The problem is here:
"It is also presumed that the net repulsive force in question is not only enough to turn the motor but also to lift one magnet off of the gap"  
This is a presumtion, but is it true?

Magnet nunmer M4 is out of the ring.
So the rotor in theory will turn in the direction of the missing magnet, the torque that the rotor will have is equal to the repulsion force of the magnet that is missing (you have to see this point very clear if you do not see it clear you need to revise your fisiscs knowledge)

At the same time that the rotor turns have to move M5 out of the ring, but remenber this magnet has a srping that keep it on the ring, and to keep it in the ring you need the same force as the repulsion that produces M5 over the rotor. (if the force of the spring is lees than that think that magnets number M1, M2, M3 will move away from the ring and there will will be a gap there then...)

So if M4 = M5 the repulsion forces they produce are equals as well aren't they?

So if both forces are equal witch force will make it move?

I agree. This is the gist and it has to be shown that it holds true. We will presume here that it does. I don't see why strong enough magnets cannot be found which at a particular shape and configuration will not accomplish this presumption.

No, this I don?t see. I see just the opposite ? because the magnet is missing it doesn?t exert any opposing force.

We already said that, presumably, the net force in the first picture will be more than enough than that needed to lift magnet M5. This is the gist of the invention. Notice also that M5 is away form the rotor in the first picture and its repulsive force can be neglected compared to the overall force which pushes the rotor towards the gap.

Quote
So if M4 = M5 the repulsion forces they produce are equals as well aren't they?

So if both forces are equal witch force will make it move?
 

First, these forces are not equal at the various moments of movement of the rotor. Force due to M4 is practically non-existent in the first picture (that?s the pivotal point of the invention). The opposing force due to M5 can be neglected in the shown picture, as was mentioned.

Thus, the force that will make the rotor move is the combined force of M1, M2 and M3 as well as partially of M15 and M16 which push the rotor towards the gap in the above picture.

OK I just thought another way to look at the device.

just think and try to give me an answer:

What force move magnet M4 out of the ring?

If the answer is your hand: sorry but you are adding energy to the system so no overunity...

If the answer is the mechanical sistem of the device: sorry again, but the strength of the spring is the same or bigger that the repulsion it creates if not the magnet will move away from the ring...

As was agreed, we start with magnet M4 up. This is the design. In the overall energy balance of the machine you do not include the energy spent to manufacture the details of the device and to put them together in the desired design.

This motor is an interesting device, however, the speed that this motor can turn must be fairly slow in order to allow for the mechanical rising of a magnet and the spring return of the magnet.  Speed would be an issue.  Using a coil to move the magnets would be much more practical and just use a generator to recover the power used to make it self running.

Post by: Omnibus on March 27, 2006, 04:11:36 PM
I don't think the speed is an issue. Even if the rotor turns, self-sustaining, at the pace of a snail it would be revolutionary. The question is, does it turn at all with no external energy input? This is what we have to clarify.

Yes, I agree that it would be of great interest if the device would spin continuously.  But I was looking farther down the road to see if it could be made into something really useful to generate power.  It is very doubtful that this device could do that on a useful level.  But perhaps the knowledge of this device will lead to something that will perform better in the future?

Stefan, could you please identify what these experiments might be, violating the second principle of thermodynamics.

Here is one, a flying vortex ring in air gains mechanical energy by cooling down
the air around it.
Due to the "second law" and viscosity laws of the air, it should have come
to a stilllstand already after about 1 Meter or less, but as the vortex
ring flies away, it can blow out candels very forcefully in 30 or 50 Meters away.

Right after the barrel it can?t even blow out a candle, but in 30 Meters the blowout is very
forcefull. I have seen this experiment already !

Post by: orionjf on March 27, 2006, 04:23:08 PM
In a first analysis, I?ve to agree with Gonzo in some details. I try to explain ...
Repulsion forces, every time, can be splitted in two components: one in the radius direction (to the center) that is compensated by the magnet radius material, and another one tangent (the "goal" or "net" force). The net force is Frep*sin(alpha), alpha (function of time) is the angle between the final repulsion force (or total vectorial sum repulsi?n force between each stator and the rotor magnet). It is very clear that Frep*sin(alpha) is EVER less (or equal) than Frep.
Consider the initial state. All forces components by M3, M2 and M1 are axial (sin(alpha)=0) and the only net componet is due to M16 (and M15 ....) with sin(alpha) greater when the magnet is more remote but at the same time less modulus force, or greater modulus force (M16) with sin(alpha) close to 0 (it?s very clear that the main force component is axial in the nearest -M16- magnet). Whe rotor starts to move, a net tangent force due to M1 appears (a little force because sin is close to 0) and force due to M16 begin to come down down in modulus (due to the distant) but increment by sin (we have to complete the exact calculus). In any case, I see Frep as the maximum force at any time (or I lost something).
Then, the forces involved in changes (stator lift and down). I see "easy" to lift if all magnets are with the same pole position (even, the system gives energy to you) but for pushing (down) the magnet you need TWO Frep*cos(alpha) from alpha 45 or greater to alpha=0 (exactly in the circle). That means in the final time, to push magnet, you need 2*Frep. If you have a mechanism for pushing the magnet, you have the same problem for lifting in this case.
There is another way to see it. Using energies ... In the initial state, there are another state with less energy and rotor moves to it. The energy difference must be used for two things: to move the rotor and to create another state with less energy that allows the rotor another movement (in other words, recover the initial status energy). Then the rotor HAS to gain another kind of energy for that not only cinetic, but, for instant, potential (or whatever you want). (I?ve built a similar machine several years ago using gravitatory and magnetic energies, as a pendulus forced, transforming one in the other in a cycle). It seems a perpetual machine, and works, but if you extract a very little portion of energy, the system fall down. Then, the problem is not to create a state with positive energy transition (initial state to the next). The problem is to recover it (opposite cycle). I?m sure magnets HAS TO do it, but how???? My best wishes to who find it, maybe this device if I wrong (that is possible, of course).

So if M4 = M5 the repulsion forces they produce are equals as well aren't they?

So if both forces are equal witch force will make it move?


Start condition is always, that? one magnet at least is always out of the ring,
otherwise it will not work.
Here is the sequence:
So M4 is down and as the rotor moves to it,
M5 goes down and M4 goes up and closes the ring again.
Then the rotor will move forward to position?M5 and M6 will go down and
M5 will go up and close the ring again.

So at least one outer magnet is always down and sometimes in the
transition of the rotor both stator magnets which are next to each other
are half down.

This is not evident and because of that this part of your arguments fails.

but for pushing (down) the magnet you need TWO Frep*cos(alpha) from alpha 45 or greater to alpha=0 (exactly in the circle).

No, powering of the magnet (pushing it down, as you put it) is spontaneous ? no energy is spent by the motor. It can occur under the action of gravity, for instance. Therefore, the conclusion you make is incorrect.

Indeed, ?The energy difference must be used for two things: to move the rotor and to create another state with less energy that allows the rotor another movement (in other words, recover the initial status energy).? Presumably, such energy is available ? it?s the energy equal to the integral of the combined magnetic force (that pushes the rotor magnets) over the distance to the next position of the rotor facing three magnets. Probably even more than that energy is available (because, say, you have used super strong magnets).

Quote
(I?ve built a similar machine several years ago using gravitatory and magnetic energies, as a pendulus forced, transforming one in the other in a cycle). It seems a perpetual machine, and works, but if you extract a very little portion of energy, the system fall down.

Now, that?s interesting to see. If you have made it rotate due to a clever combination of magnetic and gravitational forces then that would be it. Do you have a video of it?

Presumably, in Torbay?s case you more than recover the energy spent for lifting the magnet and turning the rotor. Suppose you?ve used very strong magnets with proper shape and have placed them in a proper position.

The energy comes from cooling down the magnets and thus cooling down
the air around the magnets.
Just a another "second law" violation, nothing more.

It is a closed loop circle process, the light bulb running on the generator
ouput again
produces heat, so heat is just going around in a circle,
in the Torbay motor it is extracted via the magnets from the air and the surrounding
and in the electrical bulb loads it is again fed back to the environment.

This is the optimal "green" energy cycle with no bad pollution.

This we will discuss later. Let?s first see a self-sustaining device. If indeed one can demonstrate a self-sustaining device this may mean the law of conservation of energy has exceptions. Then the question you ask will be irrelevant.

Recall that the law of conservation of energy hasn?t been always an unchallenged law ? it has taken 20 years to have Mayer publish his paper on concervation of energy against the fierce resistance of the science at that time.

Post by: _GonZo_ on March 27, 2006, 05:08:24 PM
OK I just thought another way to look at the device.

just think and try to give me an answer:

What force move magnet M4 out of the ring?

If the answer is your hand: sorry but you are adding energy to the system so no overunity...

If the answer is the mechanical sistem of the device: sorry again, but the strength of the spring is the same or bigger that the repulsion it creates if not the magnet will move away from the ring...

Sorry I think I did the wrong question here, may be it is easyer to understand looking at the picture this question:

What force move magnet M5 out of the ring?

M5 is the next magnet, so to move M5 away you need a force bigger than the repulsion of M4, becasuse M5 spring force sholud be equal or bigger than M5 repulsion force.

And again we are with the same problem M4 and M5 are the same strength...

This is something I?m not sure of. Even if we suppose that heat is turned into useful work more efficiently than we know now, that work would be much less than the work produced by the motor to light up a lamp. Don?t forget that even production of power on the order of 2 kW is being claimed.

If this indeed is a self-sustaining device it will demonstrate a violation of the first principle of thermodynamics, not of the second.

Hi Omnibus,
the first law is always correct, otherwise the universum
would have been collapsed.

It is really just a conversion of 2nd law energies, that means
heat is converted to mechanical energy and then into electrical energy
and in the load back to heat, so it is just a cycle of heat being used very
efficiently.
It is pretty simple, but the hard part is to convert heat to mechanical
energy on this efficient way.
There are other ways to convert heat to mechanical energy like in
this upper example with the flying vortex ring.
ALso tornados gain their huge mechanical energy by cooling down
the air around them via the vortex and extract this way their deadly
rotating energy.

M5 is the next magnet, so to move M5 away you need a force bigger than the repulsion of M4, becasuse M5 spring force sholud be equal or bigger than M5 repulsion force.

And again we are with the same problem M4 and M5 are the same strength...

The force to move M5 up comes from the combined repulsive forces of M1, M2 and M3 as well as, partially, M16 and M15. While lifting M5 magnet M4 is out of the picture (it?s lifted), therefore, M4 doesn?t exert any force. M4 starts exerting a force when it?s dropped right at the right moment, that is, when the three rotor magnets have moved to the next position facing three stator magnet. In such a case the force exerted by M4 is favorable for the rotation (recall what the role of M3 was when we first started ? it was favorable; now M4 has taken the role of M3).

We disagree on that. First principle (as well as the second) is due to purely empirical observations. Exceptions to it (if there are such ? I still haven?t seen one although I may appear here as arguing in favor of Torbay) would mean violation only in very special cases which will not affect the integrity of the world as we know it.

and in the load back to heat, so it is just a cycle of heat being used very

Heat cannot be converted more efficiently to work than the Carnot cycle allows. The enthalpy dH always contains an entropy component TdS in addition to the free energy dG (free energy in the sense of Gibbs, not in the sense we use it here in this forum). Work is only due to ?dG while the part TdS is inevitably lost ? it can never be turned into useful work. This is what we know so far.

If, as you presume, the first principle is intact, then your supposition would imply that it is the quantity TdS that can be turned into useful work. Although this is in itself something blasphemous to state in the mainstream science it still is not enough, even if true, to account for the huge amounts of useful energy claimed to be produced by Torbay?s device.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on March 27, 2006, 05:43:18 PM
Okay, Omnibus, I disagree with you in this.
There are better conversion processes than the Carnot cycle,
especially with right turning circle processes  in PV diagrams.
There heat is converted on a 100 % efficiency to mechanical
energy,so it is a heat machine which does not need a heat sink,
just a heat source !

I still think all free energy machines just violate just the "second law".

OK. Let's agree to disagree. Let's discuss this at some future time in a different topic, not here. Too much to discuss here regarding Torbay and if we start another discussion within this one it may turn into a mess.

I'm just gonna mention again that I have not seen a convincing demo of an overunity magnetic motor yet (the most promising so far are those of Wesley Snyder and Torbay but I still haven't seen a clear cut experiment). What still keeps my interest in the subject (even if these turn out not to be viable) are the electrolysis of water in an undivided cell and the SMOT where I think production of excess energy does occur (continuous in the first and periodic in the second case). The principle of production of excess energy in these is not at the expense of the heat of the environment. And, to mention again, the claimed energy produced by Torbay is too much for it to be accounted for by cooling the environment.

Torbay claims to be producing approx. 2000J every second. If his motor produces that much energy at the expense of cooling the air then in 1h it would cool down the air of good sized room by 10 degrees. Think about if that?s true what Mike Brady?s motor (if he really produces the claimed 300kW and that really is at the expense of cooling the air) will do to the air in the room.

On the other hand, you don't need to be a genius to see it is a hoax, just common sense:  if Torbay's machine realy work, how is that the guy is not a millionaire already, and some big company is producing his invention, or that he has not received any atention by some university/research group???

I should point out also that the example you give of a German machine isn?t the same as Torbay?s. It?s for you to figure out why. Also, it should be very clear that Torbay not being a millionaire (if he really isn?t) should by no means serve as an argument against his invention.

I have found that if you use firefox to do a google search, and use 'Walter Torbay 29', that you will find several articles spread over several google pages that can be translated into English.  I found that if I do the same search using Internet Explorer, that it does not bring up the Spanish sites.  Reason for the difference is unknown.  It is usually the same article over and over from site to site.  I know of an article at:  http://www.derf.com.ar 

It is somewhere in that site.  The URL goes off of the printed sheet so I can't give more detail.  Mr. Torbay said in one article that his device can deliver about 1930 watts.  I am very surprised that it is capable of delivering that kind of power from a slow mechanical device.  It sounds like the government in Argentina is holding a test of the device and may not allow it to be sold outside of the country.  So better get a good understanding of the device because you will probably have to build it yourself if you want one or move to Argentina.  They are also getting an international patent.

Here is again the full phrasing of the firsthand report:

>Betcha they didn?t let you poke around much, did they?

firsthand witness TheHyperT answers:

They did actually, we checked for hidden cables and that shit (c?mon, is basic standarts, how wouldnt I?) and they let us disassemble the thing.
It was clean, and unlees they had a way to create a rupture in space and deliver energy to the device without cables nor anything we could detect (and that would be cooler than the TGM itself) it works just fine.

The thing is pretty small, almost hand-size so it was easy to check for hidden wires and stuff like that.
Its compose of just a few components so it was easy to disassemble it, and then reassemble it.
And guess what? it worked again?
Well this guy is running on a pretty tight budget so I wouldnt ask for a fullsize website like those corporations have.
Anyways, I think there was a guy with a camcorder shooting the reunion, I?ll try to contact him so you guys can see the video of the thing in action.
And I understand your doubts snark, I didnt believe in the TGM until I was there seeing it in action. They even powered a laptop and a Tv at the same time while we measured the electrical output.
And again, the 5000 years mark is the magnets, only god knows how much time the TGM can keep running, but one thing is certain: they have one unit running since day one, more than a year ago.

Unbelievable. Torbay?s motor is the most sensational thing I?ve ever heard of. It?s true that the principle is inherent still in the SMOT and also that it is Howard Johnson who has spurned on the modern quest for magnetic motors and also that numerous researchers have offered constructions. The great contribution of Torbay is that he has managed to assemble a practical working device which he appears ready to openly share with the world.

Among other things, I will personally see to it that magician James Randy writes a check of $1,000,000 to Torbay, a check I?ve heard Randy has promised to anybody who could show him a working overunity device. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with concrete info about that Randy?s challenge.

of the Torbay motor.
As I am not at home, I don?t have my scanner here and
I needed to digitize with my PDA camera which was a bit blurry..
Anyway, I hope the idea gets through.

The lever arm is probably not wide enough drawn.
The lower 6 o?clock stator magnet must be lifted up, shortly before
the 2 rotor magnets are in line with the 12 and 3 o?clock stator magnets.
Then the lever arm must release the 6 o?clock stator magnet down again
and must lift the 9 o?clock stator magnet,
when the rotor magnets are in position 3 and 6 o?clock.

I have drawn only 4 stator magnets for better viewing, but it is
probably better to build it with 6 stator magnets at least.
The springs must be beneath ( under) the stator magnets and
they have to be this hard, that the could pull down the magnets
again, when the rotor lever arm has moved away.

I hope it gets clear a bit from this blurry picture.
If you have any question, please post.
Thanks.
P.S: Maybe it would be good to have a 3rd rotor magnet inside this
drawing at the 9 o?clock position ! Then the repelling forces would be even bigger !
The lever arm is also drawn here wrong, as it must be under the stator magnet to pull it
up not down as here drawn... sorry...

Regards, Stefan.

Post by: Omnibus on March 29, 2006, 11:01:35 PM
Stefan, I don't think springs are needed. There must be some kind of profiled shaft which turns together with the rotor and lifts and releases the magnets at the right moments. That shaft I think is the trick.

Post by: hartiberlin on March 29, 2006, 11:29:50 PM
Omnibus, I think, indeed springs are needed to store the energy
of the lifting of the stator magnets.

Otherwise this energy is lost and the rotor also must supply this energy to pull
the stator magnets down ! I think it will only work with springs.

Read my theory of operation posting a few pages back here, where I describe it
as a superposition of 2 principles.

Regards, Stefan.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 29, 2006, 11:43:23 PM
Why is the energy of lifting lost? The magnets fall pulled by gravity and this is how they recover the energy spent to lift them up. Unless, you want to make the motor independent of gravity. But then more energy is needed to lift the magnets (once to overcome their wieght and second to extend the springs). It's possible, though.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on March 30, 2006, 12:34:36 AM
Omnibus,
the gravity force is much too small in the motor to pull
the magnets down again ! As here are real big forces at play
you also need pretty powerful srprings to pull the magnets down
again, as these are strong Neodym magnets...
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 30, 2006, 12:43:14 AM
OK, that makes sense to me. Especially because this makes the motor independent of gravity. But still I wanna know the mechanism of synchronization of lifting the magnets. It'd be nice if we could find some blueprints of the motor. As far as I understand Torbay claims to be pretty open about it and wants to disseminate it widely.

By the way, did you find out how was that person you cited able to see the motor and even disassemble it? Did he go to Argentina or what? And, what happened to the video, no one has it, is that what it is?

Hello,

Just to tell that we have published a new article about this scam. Please read the new ASALUP article (http://www.asalup.org/content/view/156/27/).
Full patent text will be available at 10th of April, that is a 2 week delay brought you by Argentina Patent Office (they still live in the stone age!).

Best regards,
SB.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 30, 2006, 01:13:46 AM
I looked at the text in the link you gave:  http://www.asalup.org/content/view/156/27/  (http://www.asalup.org/content/view/156/27/) and with the combined efforts of Google Language Tools and BabelFish was able to understand somewhat the main idea there.

It really boggles the mind how people claiming to have devoted themselves to defending science could be so non-scientific.

The most important criticism which should be directed at their text concerns the fact that they have not actually seen the device. They criticize something which they have not even seen. And criticize it heavily. This is like someone who criticizes a book without even having read it. There were things like that happening in some countries but then the systems there collapsed very badly and now hardly anyone in these countries is proud of these practices.

The lack of knowledge of the device is obfuscated in a lot of historical detail and useless talk which may be amusing for some but serves no purpose to justify the denouncing of Torbay?s device. An invention cannot be denounced because there had been other inventions that were unworkable or fraudulent. This is a bizarre approach to criticism which has nothing to do with science.

Blatantly misunderstood is also the essence of the principles of thermodynamics. What rules is the experiment. Demonstrate an experiment yielding reproducible results and whatever laws there are have to be checked against this experiment. The experiment has the priority, not the principles of thermodynamics. It might have happened (as it has) that in almost every experiment these principles have been obeyed and yet one experiment, at, say, some special conditions, is needed to put the general validity of these principles into question. Yes, it may sound strange to the writers of the text in the site, but the principles of thermodynamics are prone to questioning if a viable experiment appears which is not in harmony with them.

Therefore, this continuous nagging on the side of the authors of the text to have the laws of thermodynamics obeyed is just sheer misunderstanding of how things work in science. It?s the opposite of how they understand it.

This text contributes nothing to understanding Torbay?s motor and can easily be ignored by anyone who is serious about finding out the truth behind that motor.

I?m sorry but I can?t complete force simulations until this weekend, but I expect to post it as I promised (I?m using FEMM).
From a preliminary analysis, I agree with you that without springs the device doesn?t work. Even more: it is critical the ratio between string force (potential) and the distance between stator magnets. Even more: the system has losses if only the next magnet is pulled or you need a very very fine syncronism between them ... I?ll try to complete the simulation this weekend...

Probably will not happen if he wants to try to sell it.? I'm actually planning more on the execution of getting the information out.? Right now I'd just put togeter a cheap proof of concept device and have 100 people around the world replicate it and 20 other copies.? Then time delivering it with the delivery of 1000 targeted email messages for each person with full data about the device.? Also instuctions on those people seeding torrents like crazy.? So around the world 2000 working devices, 100,000 email messages sent to people interested in the subject and torrent seeds all over the place.? A good target would be engineering students and professors.

If you want money put your information at the bottem of each page and ask for donations from people with working devices.  I'd gladly donate money to someone who got past all the government crap that has been keeping this stuff secret.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 30, 2006, 03:19:12 PM
I can?t agree more that even if Torbay?s motor works it would be an uphill battle to promote it even with zero profit. Isn?t that amazing, the whole Argentinean press was covering it and no one in the US has even heard of it? Even the Argentinean consul in New York wasn?t aware of it. Probably even the majority of us interested in this topic would not have heard of it if Jodo300 didn?t post the link here in this topic of the forum.

This is an obvious deliberate silencing of an important invention. As far as I understand the University of Texas at Houston where Wesley Snyder has demonstrated his device is completely silent. Not a word. Trying to kill it by ignoring it.

How am I to be certain that there hadn?t been such working devices in the past which had been deliberately shunned by the powers that be, vigorously promoting the doctrine that building of such devices is impossible? I can?t. Call me a conspiracy theorist but in the face of the facts I?ll wear such label as a badge of honor.

Therefore, I think it is very important as part of this discussion to talk about how to get across to society and to mainstream science, in particular, that self-sustaining motors are not an illusion.

One thing I?d do, and I mentioned it in one of my previous posts, is I will personally see to it that magician James Randi writes a 1 million dollar check to Torbay. As far as I understand, there are some other volunteers that are willing to give sums, although smaller, to an inventor who would show them a self-sustaining machine. I will seek them too and will make sure that they put their money where their mouth is.

Your idea about the torrents and the many people to send motors to is interesting but it needs some more thought, I think. Probably it is not unimportant who these motors are sent to. Unless you want to help directly the poor in Africa by supplying them with energy bypassing the official channels of help (probably because you don?t trust them too much). I think it wouldn?t do much to convince society by convincing just the powerless, be they students or professors. This device has somehow to get through the brick walls of the media and for that matter it has to somehow get across to the official publications of Academia (not just students and professors) ? I still entertain the hope that there are parts of Academia which care for the truth in science and to whom science is not just a job scheme which you maintain through protecting a certain official doctrine.

By the way, can anyone give some clarification regarding some Jose Alberto Zapata who appears to be a competitor of Torbay according to the text from http://www.asalup.org/content/view/156/27/ (http://www.asalup.org/content/view/156/27/) approximately translated by BabelFish:

"This impossible news was reproduced without pudor by several means, among them, the section news of the Conicet; then, anyway, it was not taaaan unusual: Already from the year 2001 another Argentinean, Jose Alberto Zapata, struck read average doors of loosely protesting recognized like the inventor of engine Magnetic of identical description and supposed benefits aluminium of Torbay.

Who really is the fool in this story is already known. These are the ones who deny the production of excess energy in devices using permanent magnets. You want facts. OK, here we go: SMOT, Wesley Snyder, Walter Torbay ...

Only SMOT would?ve been enough, if you are really scientifically minded. SMOT is a device which produces excess energy periodically.

For those who are not scientists one should mention, for instance, Wesley Snyder who has already demonstrated directly self-sustaining magnetic motor (cf.  http://overunity.com/snyder/  (http://overunity.com/snyder/)). Also, the viability of Torbay?s motor has been confirmed by first-hand witnesses (cf. Stefan?s previous posts) as well as by other reliable parties which I will not reveal now. Very soon there?ll be more direct proof on the reality of the claims connected with Torbay?s motor. As I said, however, we don?t even need to go as far as Snyder or Torbay. Production of excess energy is occurring still in the SMOT.

I just found something about ANOTHER inventor who claims to have discovered a perpetual magnetic motor:
http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/379/15849_perpetual.html

"You can start up the motor by turning the its handle. The motor will then produce the amount of energy that is a hundred times greater than that used for turning the handle. The two magnets do the trick. They are arranged in parallel. There are two blades overlapping the gap between the magnets once you turn the handle. The larger the magnet, the faster flywheel goes producing energy. It can produce a four-time greater amount of energy if the distance between is reduced by two times. The inventor says the handle and the flywheel can be linked together. Then you do not have to turn the handle. The motor will be running by itself."

guess what, ther russian government is also hiding this wonderful discovery, I think they want to sell the oil first, before it is no longer necessary... ;D

Post by: Liberty on March 30, 2006, 08:01:33 PM
Looking at the magnet motor rotor from Argentina, it appears that the shape of the rotor is the key to proper operation of the device.  The leading edge is beveled down to get under and lift the oncoming magnet to allow room to rotate.  The trailing edge of the lift edge, repels against the magnet before the lifting magnet.  Also the trailing edge of the rotor on the left side repels from the magnet that it just left.  The rotor is cut to always have three different magnets delivering a repelling force into the rotor at all times.  This appears to be the reason that the motor has sustained rotation.  See the picture below.

Liberty, so you think the rotor is made such that it in fact starts lifting the fourth magnet even before the three rotor magnets are fully aligned with the corresponding three stator magnets? When they are fully aligned the fourth magnet is fully lifted and thus it doesn't obstruct the further motion of the rotor which in its part starts lifting the fifth magnet while lowering the fourth. That's interesting. Could you sketch it somehow?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Liberty on March 30, 2006, 08:23:49 PM
If you can do a close up look at the picture or go to the web site to view it, you can see the alignment of the rotor in relationship to the magnets.  You have to imagine where things are at as it rotates.  I currently do not have a sketch of this.  But I wanted to put this idea out so that we all could understand how the device can rotate and how you can build your own replication to verify it's operation.

It does not appear that the armature has any magnets.  It only uses a steel rotor.  The magnetic force comes from the stator magnets as it spins.  The rotor accepts and maintains the force of 3 stator magnets into the rotor as it spins to use for a repulsive force.  Does that make sense?

I was just about to post this :

See, the picture appears very blurry on my screen. Is the rotor shown in the picture in motion? I don?t seem to be able to see the three rotor magnets save that they are beveled. Can you somehow place arrows to show where the rotor magnets are and what exactly are the stator magnets, as well as the bevel and the stator magnet that is lifted?

But then you're saying there are no rotor magnets. Is the picture taken while motor is moving, do you think?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 30, 2006, 08:49:25 PM
Could it be that there is just one slanted leading arm, part of the rotor, which lifts the magnet just ahead of the front of the rotor semicircle edge (rotor appears to be a semicircle). Thus, said magnet doesn't obstruct the motion. When rotor progresses, that magnet is lowed back while the arm lifts the next magnet. Lack of rotor magnets puzzles me.

the rotor magnets are beneath the upper plate,

It can only work, when magnets are also inside the rotor.

Thanks, liberty, now it's a little clearer what you mean. I still don't see the lifted stator magnet in the picture. The one that appears lifted is too far from the area where the repelling occurs. Also, the mechanism of lifting and lowering the magnets is unclear to me. Probably, it is described in the patent but the patent is still not available, as sbassi pointed out in the other thread.

which were posted.
(The one with M4 and M5,
there you see the 3 rotor magnets)

Why do you try to confuse the people over here, by telling them,
that there are no magnets in the rotor ??

Hi Hartiberlin,

Sorry that you were upset about my understanding of the motor.  From your above quote and picture, I see that a magnet may be in the rotor at the tip to assist in lifting the magnet and possibly at the trailing edge of the rotor?  But I can not see any pictures that show this.  It also says that the brass center rotor(I assume that it is the center of the rotor which the picture says is neodymium??? Does not make clear sense) holds the rotor arm. (which the translation of the picture says is magnesium and then it says it is neodymium? (Clear as mud!)   I'm not sure that the rotor arm is made out of magnesium or neodymium, but if it is it may need a magnet on the trailing edge to repel the rotor.  If this is the case, I would have serious doubts that the motor would spin.  It would likely lock up???  What is your best guess of how the motor could spin?

Another thought just occurred to me.  Perhaps a magnet is in the center hub of the rotor arm that is also a north (repelling pole) towards the rotor?  This may add to the repulsive power of the rotor?

If I were talking about **APPARENTLY working** designs I would have said hundreds.  Unfortuantely the majority are hoaxes.  I do believe a few I've read about work.  I'd say Tesla had a working system.  As well as the group in Switzerland, Minato, Ed Gray, etc.  I've not seen enough about this design.

see, there is your problem: believing is for God, life after death, and such things. Not for motors, engines, tools and such devices.

Here's the link to the video: http://overunity.com/snyder/ (http://overunity.com/snyder/)

thanks for the links, but those are not from the machine that torbay made.
Anyway, the first video does not show anything impressive. it is just a rotor with a very low friction, that cannot start by itself, it needs literally a "helping hand".
The second video, shows a rotor with magnets, holded by hand with rotates at a constant speed. if the device can generate energy, the speed should increase with time. It seems to me that there is a hidden battery somewhere (constant voltage, constant speed) probably in the white ring, which they do not show in the inside.

By the way, I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a working "torbay" motor.

I don?t think you need to be shown a working Torbay motor. Why? Because you?re like the people who live in the villages in the outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria. This is a community of its own ? very nice people, laborious, with a unique culture, but quite set in their ways. Here?s what Shops say:

?There? nothing higher than Vitosha (Vitosha is their mountain) and nothing deeper than Iskyr (Iskyr is their brook, hardly a river).

?Why should I worry since even if I worry it will soon pass.?

?I hate to think. When I think it feels like I?m wrestling a bear.?

One day a Shop found himself in the zoo facing the giraffe. He kept watching and watching and in the end concluded: ?There is no such animal?.

Proof that your reaction doesn?t differ much from that of the Shop is the following conclusion you make regarding second Snyder?s video:

First, the device does generate energy because it obviously rotates which means that a body with a mass is being driven by a force to cover distance, becoming greater and greater. This energy, generated by the body, is at the expense of no energy input from the outside.

Notice, the device is generating energy even if its speed isn?t increasing with time. Have you ever seen a motor turning at given rotations per minute without external input of energy? I haven?t. Until Snyder?s video.

Your comment about the hidden battery is so ridiculous and offensive that needn?t even be mentioned. Here me out well ? there is no hidden battery in Snyder?s device. Period. Also, seeing Snyder?s working, you don?t need to see Torbay?s device to convince yourself that self-sustaining magnetic motors are real.

Hi everyone,

So far I've been only following the discussions about the torbay engine. Somehow I felt the time has come to join this discussion :)
At the moment I think this engine is one of the few that might possibly work.
I've studied the information given here quite well and think that the only way to get forward with this is to join the "believers" (not negatively meant)  understanding together in a joined plan of how this thing is to be build. I think everyone could agree to the fact that we should continue here with the people that are open to this sort of innovations. As for all others that think it is a hoax or it doesn't work anyway, just leave and stop bothering the rest....
As for myself I would say I've got a pretty good understanding of the engine. There is only one thing at the moment which i do not grasp yet and that is where the springs are exactly and how are attached to the rest of the stator construction.
Anyone here that understand the mounting of the spring exactly?

Not really.? Take two magnets and hold them N-N or S-S at a given distance.? The resistance force is going to be pretty much constant until you change the distance.

You may be right about that, but think about this: would the US gov. be able to coverup such a simple device (a few magnets and other common pieces) in the whole world??? I've seen reports of such supposed-magnetic-perpetual-motors in europe, russia, argentina, panama, just to mention some. ANd nobody never has comed up with a working modell, instead we have seen hundreds of frauds and lies and hidden energy sources in such marvelous devices.

Please tell me have really anybody here thought about, that ***maybe*** the simplest explanation (and hence the most probable) tho the whole torbay or magnetic motor story, is that it is a fraud?? just think about it.

So, if it is reproduced by others, despite the **serious** scientific work that has been done ?in hundreds of years? proving it?s impossible, you would accept it. Don?t you see the lack of lack of logic in what you?re saying.

This way of contradictory thinking and lack of understanding of the scientific method indicates that you are not a scientist or have very limited scientific credentials. Therefore, you should restrain from expressing opinions about scientific matters, especially when they are of the magnitude we?re discussing here.

besides, I?ve given you a link to a video from which you would be able to see what you need to convince yourself of the viability of self-sustaining magnetic motors. As I said, however, it was in vain giving you that link because you don?t have the credentials, you?re not qualified to judge properly about the viability of the claims.

The failure of others (if they indeed have been failures and not coverup) by no means justifies alleging Snyder as being a fraud.

It is not only ridiculous, it is offensive. You should apologize to Snyder for making such un-sustained, libelous suggestion. Otherwise you?ll prove that you?re worse than the scam artists you describe. You?re a fraud, if you don?t appologize to Snyder.

Hi,
Sorry for my english, i'm from argentina. And sorry for the translation too.

There is an explanation in the hispaseti forum from Mr Torbay that reply the questions from others members.
Sorry if you already have this information.

Mr torbay say:

QUERIDO AMIGO
Dear friend

LA FUERZA UTILIZADA PARA QUE GIRE EL BRAZO ROTOR ES EL MAGNETISMO ENCERRADO EN LOS IMANES PERMANENTES.COMO PRODAS VER EN EL VIDEO CONSTANTEMENTE HAY 8 IMANES QUE SE ENCUENTRAN ENFRENTADOS .

The force used for the rotation of the rotor arm is the magnetism inside the magnets. How you can see in the video there are 8 magnets in front permanetly.

EL BRAZO ROTOR( EL QUE GIRA) TIENE 4 IMANES PERMANENTES CON SUS POLOS NORTE ORIENTADOS HACIA LOS BRAZOS ELEVABLES EXTERNOS , LOS BRAZOS ELEVABLES A SU VEZ TIENEN EN SU EXTREMO INTERIOR IMANES PERMANENTES CON SUS POLOS NORTE ORIENTADOS HACIA EL BRAZO ROTOR, DE ESTA MANERA SON 8 LOS IMANES QUE SE ENCUENTRAN BAJO EL EFECTO DE RECHAZO DE POLOS IGUALES .ESTA ENERGIA ES MUCHO MAYOR QUE LA NECESARIA PARA ELEVAR INDIVIDUALMENTE UNO DE LOS BRAZOS ELEVABLES EXTERNOS . AL ELEVAR UNO DE LOS BRAZOS LOGRAMOS QUE EL RECHAZO MAGNETICO SEA MENOR EN ESA ZONA POR LO QUE EL BRAZO ROTOR TENDERA A GIRAR HACIA DONDE RECIBA MENOR RECHAZO ,AL ALCANZAR ESTA POSICION EL BRAZO ELEVADO ES LIBERADO Y BAJA POR EFECTO DE UN RESORTE MIENTRAS EL BRAZO INMEDIATO POSTERIOR ES ELEVADO.DE ESTA MANERA OBTENEMOS UN DESPLAZAMIENTO CIRCULAR CONTINUO

The rotor arm (that gyrate) have 4 magnets with their north poles oriented to the external raising arms, the raising arms have magnets in their inner extrems with theirs north poles oriented to the rotor arm, then, thera are 8 magnets that are under the efects of magnetic same poles repulsion. This energy is much greater than necessary to raise one external raising arm. Wheb we raising one arm we get that the magnetic repulsion is lesser in that zone and the rotor arm tend to gyrate to the zone of lesser repulsion, in this position the raising arm is released and it go down for the action of a spring while the next arm is raisinsg. Then we get a continuos circular movement.


.RECORDEMOS QUE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS HAN DEMOSTRADO QUE LOS IMANES PERMANENTES QUE SE ENCUENTREN BAJO EL RECHAZO DE POLOS IGUALES CONSERVARAN SUS PROPIEDADES MAGNETICAS CASI SIN ALTERACIONES DURANTE APROXIMADAMENTE ENTRE 5000 Y 50000 A?OS (DEPENDIENDO DEL MATERIAL CON EL QUE SEAN FABRICADOS LOS IMANES PERMANENTES)

Remember that cientifics investigations demonstrate that permanent magnets under magnetic same poles repulsion  will conserve theri magnetic propertys without alterations between 5000 and 50000 years. (depending of materials of magnets)

CON RESPECTO A PORQUE EL MOVIMIENTO NO ES UNIFORME ( ALGUNOS BRAZOS SE ELEVAN MAS Y OTROS MENOS) ES DEBIDO A QUE LOS CORTES REALIZADOS EN LOS IMANES LAMENTABLEMENTE NO SON PERFECTOS ,YA QUE ES MUY DIFICIL CORTARLOS A TODOS IGUALES (CUALQUIERA QUE HALLA INTENTADO CORTAR UN IMAN PERMANENTE DE TIERRAS RARAS SIN TODAS LAS HERRAMIENTAS NECESARIAS SABRA A QUE ME REFIERO) DE IGUAL MANERA ESTE DEFECTO NO IMPIDIO QUE EL DISPOSITIVO GIRE IGUAL .

Referred to why the movement is not uniform (some arms are raising more and others less) it is because
the cuts made in the magnets are not perfect because it is very difficult to cut them in the same manner) Anyone that has tried to cut permanent magnet without the necessary tools  know this) But this defect does not impede that the device gyrate.

SI OBSEVAN EL DISPOSITIVO QUE ESTA FILMADO EN ESTE VIDEO NO ESTA CONECTADO A NINGUN ARTEFACTO (DINAMO,ALTERNADOR) CON EL FIN DE TRANSFORMAR EL MOVIMIENTO EN ENERGIA ELECTRICA.EN BREVE SUBIREMOS VIDEOS EN LOS QUE SI ESTA APLICADO CON ESE FIN,ADEMAS TENEMOS PENSADO EN PARTICIPAR EN TODAS LAS FERIAS Y EXPOCISIONES DE CIENCIA QUE SE REALICEN EN ARGENTINA ,POR LO QUE PRONTO LO PODRAN VER EN VIVO

If you watch the device in this video, it is not connected to other device (dynamo, alternator) to transform the movement in electric energy. Soon we upload videos in that the device is applied to this goal. Moreover we think to participate in science exhibition in argentina, so soon you can see it.

POR OTRO LADO NOSOTROS EN NINGUN MOMENTO HEMOS PEDIDO DINERO .DE HECHO HEMOS RECIBIDO INFINIDAD DE OFERTAS ECONOMICAS MUY IMPORTANTES LAS CUALES HEMOS RECHAZADO.EL UNICO MOTIVO POR EL QUE INGRESAMOS A ESTE FORO ES CON EL FIN DAR A CONOCER INFORMACION CIENTIFICA DE LA QUE DISPONEMOS Y COMPARTIRLA CON QUIENES QUIERAN RECIBIRLA ,NO ES NUESTRA INTENCION COVENCER A ESCEPTICOS NI ENTRAR EN POLEMICA CON NADIE
SIEMPRE NOS HEMOS DIRIJIDO A USTEDES CON RESPETO Y ESPERAMOS IGUAL TRATO.

In the other hand we never asked for money. We have received infinity economic offers that we rejected. The only reason we have enter to this forum is to bring and share cientific information. It is not our intention to convince covence skeptics neither to cause controversy.
We ever have directed to you with respect and ask you the same behavior.

? I take that back! The spring DOES in fact keep constant downward force...and the "wheels" are rolling magnets that "lift" the lever magnets....hey!

 Now I am getting somewhere.... Thank you Cesarc !

EDIT ADDED: Now I will have to order magnets...I have been testing using all round magnets, since all of my rectangle and square magnets are used in another project...
  This also confirms my theory that the rotor in fact needs to be as close to 1/2 the size of the diameter of the lever magnets (stator iguess you can call it)...at least that is what I found in my experiments...notice:

It appears to me that the purpose of the springs is to assist gravity, to ensure that the magnet returns to the lower resting position.  The rollers on top of the magnets are bearings to provide a physical stop to limit the upward travel of the magnet.  A repulsive magnet might be used in place of the wheel bearing to limit upward travel of the magnet when it flips up out of the way of the rotor.

I think thats what stefan meant aswell. But if I look at the pictures from the wooden prototype i see coil like springs laying next to the motor that seem to be used in a pushing fashion. To me they don't look like the type that is used to pull things inward.....
Could you post drawings of how you think one stator segment is constructed including positioning of the spring?

cesarc, thank you for the translation. Before discussing it I'd like to ask you the following. Torbay refers in his explanation to a video. Do you by any chance have this video? If you do, would you be so kind as to upload it to this forum? Thanks in advance.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 31, 2006, 05:40:11 PM
cesarc, as I understand from Mr. Torbay?s description, in this particular configuration under discussion in the Spanish forum, the rotor magnets are four and not three as we have seen in a previous picture discussed here in this forum. This wouldn?t make much of a difference with regard to the principle of action, I guess (only that four rotor magnets would probably make the motor more powerful). I still don?t understand, however, how the stator magnets are being lifted and then lowered. Torbay refers to a ?rotor arm? but this I take it to mean just ?rotor? not having anything to do with a possible arm that lifts or lowers the magnets. Am I understanding it right?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Liberty on March 31, 2006, 05:53:59 PM
I will probably get clobbered for this again, but; I believe upon close inspection of what is said in the translation, the 4 magnets in the rotor, are actually the 4 stator magnets that are facing the rotor (providing the magnetic effect of 4 magnets).  The strength of the stator magnets in the rotor are providing the repulsive power in the rotor to lift the magnetic cradle arm. 

At the beginning, it is stated that there are only 8 permanent magnets.  If you refer to my previous picture, you can see that there are 4 stator magnets facing the rotor.  I believe that the stator magnets are providing the only magnetic field in the motor through the rotor.  I believe that Torbay is saying that the strength of the 4 stator magnets through the rotor are plenty of power to lift the cradle arm magnet.

Here is another example of a working motor that has excellent torque that uses the same principle.

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on March 31, 2006, 06:14:20 PM
liberty, I think we should already consider established that the rotor has magnets immovably attached to it. The picture we discussed shows three rotor magnets while in this new text by Torbay the rotor magnets are four. Torbay speaks of 8 magnets because he counts the four rotor magnets and the corresponding four magnets of the stator facing them. This is a peculiar way of explanation which was present still in Torbay?s first text which we were struggling to translate and discuss. There, in that previous text, Torbay was talking about 6 magnets ? three rotor magnets facing three stator magnets. And, based on this picture he wrote also equations with which he tried to explain where the driving net force comes from.

This part, as I said, I take as already established and it does not comprise the problem. The problem, as I see it is, what is the concrete mechanism of lifting and lowering the stator magnets? Also what are exactly these cuts in the magnets which Torbay mentions, that are hard to attain uniform?

Apparently there was a video in that time, but now the video does not exist in the Torbay's page.

There are no other information. I sent an email to Torbay, but he does not reply.

I still don't understand how the device work. ???

Hi Omnibus,

To answer your question:
If you understand the version of the rotor as I explained it, the magnet cuts are easy.  Torbay cut an angle on the stator magnets.  The top of the magnet is the closest to the rotor to concentrate the magnetic force to run the motor.  The lower part of the magnet that faces the rotor is 'beveled back'.  This provides more room for the rotor to pass(avoiding coliding magnetic fields) with the repelling field creating less resistance and allowing the motor to spin.  It also creates the proper angle for the leading edge of the rotor to repel and lift the cradle arm magnet.

Thers no spring in the construction thers only a spring effect when the arm is lowerd
against the rotor magnet.

"AL ALCANZAR ESTA POSICION EL BRAZO ELEVADO ES LIBERADO Y BAJA POR EFECTO DE UN RESORTE MIENTRAS EL BRAZO INMEDIATO POSTERIOR ES ELEVADO"

When REACHING THIS POSITION The HIGH ARM IS RELEASED And LOW BY EFFECT OF MEANS WHILE The LATER IMMEDIATE ARM IS ELEVATED

The arm thats going downvards is pushed down by a ramp abowe it.
take a look att the picture


Sist. de descenso controlado =  downward controle system

Do you see it?

Its so simple.

I still don't understand how the device work.

cesarc, I?ll try to explain briefly, as I have understood it. The rotor has only three (let?s take the tree-magnet variant) adjacent magnets which face three of the otherwise many stator magnets. The three rotor magnets are repelled by the three stator magnets (the N poles of the rotor magnets are facing the N poles of the rotor magnets).

The main trick in the whole story is to have the fourth stator magnet (if you count the three stator magnets in the direction of rotor rotation) lifted, so that it won?t stand in the way of the motion of the rotor. The repulsive force of that fourth magnet is practically canceled by taking it away.

Now, that we have ensured conditions (due to lifting of the fourth magnet) for a net repulsive force, the rotor turns towards the gap where the missing magnet is. During that process of turning the motor, a mechanism starts lifting the fifth magnet while lowering appropriately the fourth (the repulsive force is more than sufficient to lift the fifth magnet). The fifth magnet is finally lifted and the three rotor magnets are again facing three stator magnets, this time facing stator magnets two, three and four.

From this moment on you can apply the same considerations, explained above, concerning three rotor magnets facing three stator magnets. The rotor will keep turning ...

As I have said several times, the main problem, now that we understand the principle, is, what the concrete mechanism of lifting and lowering the stator magnets is.

liberty, so because of this bevel some kind of a leading arm which protrudes ahead of the three rotor magnets somehow pushes and lifts the next magnet. And when the rotor magnets come again in place, facing the next corresponding stator magnets, that arm releases the lifted magnet and starts lifting a new one. Can you sketch this more concretely?

Thers no spring in the construction thers only a spring effect when the arm is lowerd
against the rotor magnet.

"AL ALCANZAR ESTA POSICION EL BRAZO ELEVADO ES LIBERADO Y BAJA POR EFECTO DE UN RESORTE MIENTRAS EL BRAZO INMEDIATO POSTERIOR ES ELEVADO"

When REACHING THIS POSITION The HIGH ARM IS RELEASED And LOW BY EFFECT OF MEANS WHILE The LATER IMMEDIATE ARM IS ELEVATED

The arm thats going downvards is pushed down by a ramp abowe it.
take a look att the picture


Sist. de descenso controlado =? downward controle system

Do you see it?

Its so simple.


"Resorte" in English means Spring.....

Do I understand you correctly? The large black dot is a cross section of a bar immovably attached to the rotor. In your picture it goes from right to left. In its motion it gets under the bevel of the triangularly shaped stator magnet (lower left picture) and as it progresses lifts the magnet up (lower right picture).

Each one stator magnet has a smaller magnet on top (the smaller black dot) which after the stator magnet has been lifted, suddenly meats an iron ramp of a particular profile (upper left picture), sticks to it by magnetic attraction which has nothing to do with the main magnetic interactions driving the motor and then, sticking, follows the profile of the ramp until the stator magnet is brought down (upper right picture).

I think that people are refering to different versions of the Torbay motor that used different methods to restore the stator magnet to the resting postion.  I am ref. the latest version 7 because it has the most refinements.  I made a quick picture to show the idea that I have gotten from Torbay's motor.  Hopefully this helps?

Now, the triangular pieces in your picture are the stator magnets, aren?t they?

As far as the large and the small black dots, these are wheels, I understand that. The function of the wheel depicted by the large black dot seems to be more clear. The wheel depicted by the small black dot isn?t. Is the wheel depicted by the small black dot getting into some kind of a groove in the ramp (the ramp being immovably attached to the rotor too)?

All in all, am I understanding you correctly that the various phases of lifting and raising start from lower left of your picture, then lower right, upper left and finally upper right?

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Cisco on April 01, 2006, 12:57:45 AM
Omnibus,

   Responding to your reply #275, I think there are a couple of observations you may be missing here, and this of course is only my opinion. First, what we see is not the rotor disc but the stator assembly sitting on the disc base. This assembly appears too big to be the rotor. If you look closely at the left edge of the photograph, just above center, you can see a smaller hub looking thing that is probably the rotor.
   Another reason this assembly is probably not part of the rotor is that we see a hinge pin in the foremost (stator) magnet holder. As far as I understand, the rotor has no parts that hinge.
   And now for the confusing part: that same foremost stator magnet holder HAS NOT YET BEEN MOUNTED TO THE BASE IN ITS PROPER POSITION. It is turned around 180 degrees so that, for purposes of the photograph, the viewer can see the triangle. And by the way, the triangle IS the ramp.
   There are two reasons I think the magnet holder is turned around: First, look at the position of the hingepin. It is inboard on the disc. All the other configurations we've seen of Torbay's device show the hingepins in the outboard position. Second, if you look closely at the next stator magnet holder in the background, you can see that it is mounted (or at least placed) in opposite fashion on the base plate. If you can't see the hingepin outboard, look at the top trays on the two different magnet holders. Each tray has two short verticle siderails that do not run the full length of the tray. It is apparent that the parts of the top trays without siderails are in opposite configuration, i.e. the foreground one is outboard and the background one is inboard.
   If there are springs here, they may be held inside the long boxes (running radially) that form the base of the magnet holder. The configuration for their engagement would be as shown in Liberty's sketch Rotorlift.jpg, reply #262.     
   As for the wheels, they have not yet been installed in this assembly.
Hope this helps.

Post by: Omnibus on April 01, 2006, 01:28:03 AM
Cisco, your explanation of the photo makes a lot of sense. If your explanation is correct (which I believe is) then my previous understanding that a triangle is attached immovably on top of each stator magnet is valid. In such a case, a wheel (the large wheel, according to liberty) attached on the rotor, ahead of the three rotor magnets, will get underneath the triangle attached to the fourth stator magnet (the triangle protruding somewhat so that it can reach the large wheel) and as the rotor moves will start lifting it (there may or may not be a spring engaged; that?s not the substantial part). This was my initial understanding of the lifting process. Of course, the stator magnets are on hinges and, as you correctly point out, one can see the hingepins at the rear part of the assembly in the photo.

Now, suppose fourth magnet is at the apex, please explain the mechanism for lowering the fourth magnet (we already know how the fifth magnet will be lifted)?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 01, 2006, 02:09:17 AM
Continuing ... The big wheel attached to the rotor is way ahead of the three rotor magnets so that when it pushes up the triangle attached to the fourth stator magnet that fourth stator magnet reaches the apex right at the moment when the three rotor magnets exactly face three stator magnets.

At the next moment, as the rotor advances to the gap (where the ?missing? fourth magnet was supposed to be) the big wheel gets underneath the triangle attached to the fifth stator magnet.

At this same moment another ramp, attached to the rotor, having a special profile ?picks up? the fourth magnet and as the rotation progresses slowly lowers the fourth magnet down until the three rotor magnets again face three stator magnets (this time stator magnets 2, 3 and 4). How exactly does that profiled ramp attached to the rotor ?pick up? the stator magnet and lower it down? Is there a small wheel attached to the lifted stator magnet that gets into a groove in the profiled ramp? liberty says ramp pushes the stator magnet down but stator magnet if not supported, as is the case when it goes beyond the triangle, will fall by itself (either under its own weight or pulled by a spring) so there?s no need to push it down.

also evident is the TRACK MARKS from perhaps the "magnet wheel" riding around and contacting the "ramp" on the underside of the wooden prototype;

 NOTE: if it IS TRULY track marks, how many revolutions did it take to etch those into that wood? 1000's?...it may be something else, but it could be track marks.

 Also, i believe these magnets are the ones he had to "Shape" by hand....put a slight curve to match the curve of the rotor...closer means more torque.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 01, 2006, 10:51:15 AM
Jaybird, it appears that the wooden prototype (p15.jpg) and the one we are discussing with Feb2006 and Cisco (12a.jpg) are two different variants of a stator magnet with a triangular ramp. One (wooden prototype p15.jpg) has the triangular ramp underneath the stator magnet, the other (12a.jpg) above it. This requires the rotor wheel (wheels) to be under the level of the rotor magnets for the wooden prototype, as in your schematic, and above the level of the rotor magnets for the prototype in 12a.jpg. This now seems to be established.

The new moment for me from your explanation is that because of the mutual repulsion the stator magnets when pushed up stay there (and don?t fall spontaneously under their weight) until the specially shaped rotor cap forces them down in a slope. It appears, however, that the rotor cap is the ?sist. de descenso controlado? in the general view of the motor (prototipo en corte.jpg on page 25) and not the ?tapa? as you?ve indicated in your schematic.

Now that we know what the concrete form of the lifting mechanism is (triangular ramp) it?s interesting to find out what the rotor cap exactly looks like.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Feb2006 on April 01, 2006, 12:14:42 PM
(12a.jpg) is one arm underconstruction no magnet on it yet.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 01, 2006, 12:37:07 PM
I understand 12a.jpg is under construction but it appears the magnet will be underneath the triangle when finished. In the back of the picture one sees these modules turned aroung as part of the assembled motor. Also, the small wheel isn't mounted which would help pushing the magnet sloping down when in contact with the motor cap.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter where the magnets are going to be, on top of triangle or at the bottom. The important thing is that now it seems we understand what the principle of lifting of the stator magnets is -- the triangles being immovably attached to the stator magnets.

Another thing which seems to be clear already is that there are no springs but because of the repulsive forces among the stator magnets, when lifted they stay where they are until the moment the motor cap ("sist. de descenso controlado" attached to the rotor) starts pushing them sloping down.

What needs to be understood more is what exactly the shape of the motor cap is which forces the stator magneds sloping down.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Feb2006 on April 01, 2006, 01:18:44 PM
A wooden rotor cap  variant can look like this (see picture).
Or you can have a aluminium rotor cap in the right shape.
Its only a engineering question.
Only non magnetic material exept the magnets of course.

Its a (triangular) ramp on the rotor cap thats push down the arm
and then the rotor cap holds down the arm (against repulsion by magnets) until its turn to rise.
The important is timing of the arms.
For the timing have a look att msg5649 and msg5650.

Quote msg5653

"That's correct. When the three rotor magnets are exactly facing three of the stator magnets only one magnet is raised. At the moments before the second picture (between the first and the second picture) there are two displaced magnets -- one which is on its way down and another one on its way up."

Hi Omnibus,

I can agree with you about the motor cap being the thing that pushes the lifted stator magnet back down (due to a slope in the cap i guess). But i also think that there still will be a spring in play. It should keep the stator magnet down once it has descended. If there isn't one then the stator magnet might pop back up because it's head on with the rotor magnets (which cant move up). So i guess there might be a spring alongside with the controlled descending system. How else would the stator magnet stay down?

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 01, 2006, 02:28:55 PM
Feb2006, so, the motor cap ("sist. de descenso controlado" attached to the rotor) holds down most of the stator magnets all the time. Except for that particular stator magnet which is to be raised (the raising, due to the repulsive forces but also being assisted by another ramp ? the triangular one) when the motor cap in your last picture suddenly ends and except for the stator magnet next to it which is being pushed sloping down by the bevel of the motor cap shown in the picture.

the raising arm have no repulsive forces(maybe a werry week one)
only the arm thats going down will have repulsive force from
the approaching rotor magnets.

What remains is to figure out the concrete dimensions of the details so that they can be machined, put together and tried.

Yep, that's right. Anyone already figured out what size the whole engine is? I think it's a good idea to agree on a size and come to a building plan together.

...slip of grey matter...thats right, it is the system to control the lowering of the magnet levers.

 Got in a few magnets today...they are some that I had already ordered before this project, but I am still working on this as time allows...

dutchy1966:? thats a good idea...I am willing.




? I dont think that there are 2 so-different motors as Omnibus stated above....I see the metal example in the same manner as the wooden prototype, (save a few improvements), a slightly different rotor setup...the one made from wood needed a longer axle to keep it from wobbling perhaps since there is more gap in a wooden prototype....and a few odds and ends.
? I dont see the magnets in the metal prototype's lever arms below the "ramp"...they lie flat on top of the triangular "ramp" just as in the wooden one.

Omnibus, that rotor drawing made me stop and think.....still thinking...maybe a new process...

? I am in it for the count now....main focus will be this replicaton, shelving others for now....

I do not see any size constraints, and I see that there are 3 different prototypes Torbay made...1 small metal, one Large metal, and probably a first wooden model...all different sizes...so we can assume the principle works to scale perhaps and decide on a size:
       I am proposing a nice round 4 or 6" inch diameter figure.

Jaybird:
Are you talking about the size of the whole engine or just the rotor part?
Also we need to work in inches (is it called imperial?) and metric system (thats what we use over here)
I was thinking for the rotor part the use a CD (size) as a base for the rotor, they're cheap, easy for everyone to get hold of and probably easy to glue some magnets on.

Apart from that we need to establish a few other things:
1) How many rotor magnets? There prototypes with 3 and 4 magnets.....
2) How many stator segments, I've seen models with 7 (the wooden one), 8 and even 10 segments

jaybird, you may be right that the differences in the constructions may only be slight.

I was thinking that the stator magnets may be mounted below the triangular ramp, facing the rotor magnets mounted on the reverse side of the rotor plate. Thus, on top of rotor plate there will only be the wheel and the motor cap. Of course, this is just an idea which may not be the best.

I'm all in...metric is fine, we have to learn both here ??? I have been experimenting with some magnets on the small order, app. equal to an 8cm CD.

 It is surprising what can be learned by just gluing some magnets to an old CD elevated a bit, then trying various positions of the magnets.


Here is the simple setup I am using for this project....You would be surprised how easy it is to make rotation this way, and even better, if you time it right (magnet in each hand) you can get really fast speed.

? There are many many variations to try, below is just a simple sample.... I am working on making 6 craft-stick magnet levers similar to the torbay arms...with a hinged fulcrum...

Whatever cd size is fine to me, on second thought i think the 8 cm as the rotor would be large enough. Around that the stator magnets/levers can be arranged.
I would suggest that we put all information and plans we agree on in a MS word document which everyone can access. (attach it to messages here?)
I've seen that jaybird is quite good at the graphics, so maybe he wants to draw the plans we agree on. jaybird?

Also I think that we should first concentrate on the stator levers/magnets. Maybe make some working samples of them so we can test the lifting and descending of the magnets.
We can also work out then if it needs springs or not.

If there is a cap like plate above the rotor fixed to it, which will hold down
all stator magnets except the one which is lifted and it will
also push down the already lifted stator magnet again when turning on,
then I agree, that it would probably need no springs
on the stator magnets.

When will some Argentina friend finally find the AVI file which Torbay
had on his website ?
I would really like to see how fast the rotor is rotating in his motor.

Thanks.

I agree. Stator, properly made, seems to be the biggest problem.

Also, CD mechanism is fine but I'm afraid it's too flimsy (CD pops-up too readily). Three magnets can be put on the CD but these mechanisms and ramps for lifting and lowering need a sturdier construction, I think.

Hi all...have been busy today as Softball season has started for my kids....I wont be able to be back on probably until tomorrow evening...but I will have a few pics to share.

? I have documented a few things and want to share them also...I can tell you this from todays experimenting with this setup: There are strong forces on the magnets, so both the rotor and the arms need to be pretty sturdy...today I used an old HDD platter and pop-sicle sticks in tandem with wooden dowel axles...force will pretty quickly overcome my setup, but I am very excited about what I see....

PS: I hope to drop in every now and again tonite and tomorrow morning...so please share any findings you may have also.

A proposal on how to use the rotor cap to also lift
the stator arm (see picture) .

Hi Feb2006,

That's funny , I've been thinking about the same principle too (that is putting a guiding weel on the stator segments).
Still I think that the stator magnets should stay down on their own (once they're pushed down by the descending system). If not the wheels on all the stator segments will keep touching the cap and that might well slow down the engine. Thats why I still think a spring can come in handy to keep it down when the segment is not involded in raising or descending. I'll make a little drawing of how i see it and put it on here later....

Omnibus,

I think you're right about the CD's. But I was only thinking about the rotor when aI mentioned the 8 cm cd's. I guess if you have two of them and glue the rotor magnet in between (and some more supports all the way round it should be sturdy enough (and its lightweight). Also jaybirds idea of a harddisc motor and platter sounds good. I still got one 3,5 inch HD here that i can use.

Here's the drawing of my idea with the help of a spring. The spring should create a little downforce on the stator magnet while its not being used.
Does it make any sense?

Lowering the arm in the presence of the rotor may still be difficult. Spring will help a lot. But what about lowering it before rotor even reach it? It is like timing it a little ahead.

dutchy1966, I think the idea for the guiding system seems good as long as it?s appropriately shaped to ensure proper timing of lifting and descending. I wonder about the spring holding down the stator magnet. Wouldn?t it be better to have it attached perpendicularly to the main lever. In this way it will always pull the stator magnet down until it is forcibly lifted by the guiding system.

The only thing dutchy1966 added to my idea was a spring.

Ther's no ned for a spring if you tilt the stator arm slighly
down ther will be a downwards force betwen stator magnet and rotor magnet.
See simple and exaggerated picture.

Still no need for a spring.

Feb2006, the three rotor magnets will keep the opposing three stator magnets down in your construction. How about the rest of the descended stator magnets, how are they gonna be kept steadily down without a motor cap or springs?

Honestly, I?m still debating as to whether Torbay?s solution for keeping the stator magnets down through motor cap and lifting them through a wheel pushing on a triangle wouldn?t be the simplest so far. I like your and dutchy1966?s solutions too but which ones would be easier to make and most efficient still is unclear to me.

I think Feb2006 has a point here, the rest of the descended stator magnets will just stay down because of gravity. Remember there is no opposing magnet  that might make them move up! So if we can agree on the slightly tilted stator magnets to keep them down then I'm ready to give up on the springs.

Feb2006, How far you think we have to tilt the stator magnets? Few degrees should do i think....

I think zero degree ,the forces up are very smal it wont stop it.
I only tilted the arm down so you should stop puting the spring in.

I only want a easy replica to build,so we can verify Torbay.

I go for the all around cap and wheel to hold down ,lift and descend.

The spring maybe is good for improvement later.

Feb2006, if it's for simplicity, wouldn't it be simpler to use Torbay's design with stationary magnets, each one supplied with a small wheel to be pressed by the motor cap? Each of these stator magnets (or the piece they're embedded in) would easily be beveled to allow raising the magnet by an easily attachable large wheel. Seems to me that would be easier to manufacture.

Oh absolutely not at all.  All Magnets stay low except one.  Like in the patent drawing rotor will approach the gap in the stator ring.  While rotor is close to the raised arm it will add repeling force to raised arm.  So my idea was to lower it down before rotor was even close  to it. Like one or two magnets away.  This way lowering arm has to overcome only repeling force among the stator magnets.
Maybe I am a little ahead and there is to early to talk about timing issue.

I have Minilathe and CNC Router.  I use them to make prototypes (wood - aluminum). and I do not need any money to build one.  Idea is to build as many prototypes as possible all with different ideas which are shared here on the forum.  This way there is a better chance to have one working. Is there anyone else who could build prototype?  I think there is a way to build one without using lathes and milling machines.
george
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 02, 2006, 08:43:25 PM
I agree, avoiding beveling is a big relief. The ramp has to be done very carefully, though. Your ramp is the crux of the matter.  In your design there still will be a motor cap pushing on the small wheels mounted on the top of the stator magnets. Your motor cap is much simpler to make (a circle with just this much opening on one side).

Let me mention also about the HD which I prefer before the CD 'cause it's sturdier. My HD has aluminum casting which is very hard to do anything with and is surrounding the disc - disc is simehow dipped in this aluminum shell. Anybody with exerience with these HD's? Probably we should agree on a certain diameter of the HD disc as well.

Another question. Do you think the RadioShack rectangular magnets (with a central hole) will do or different kind of magnets should be ordered? I'm measuring those RadioShack magnets with a teslameter and am finding quite a bit of  discrepancy among them. I guess, however, that wouldn't matter in this particular construction.

Also, someone was asking how many should the stator magnets be? Recall Torbay has 16 in the first ever picture we discussed. Should we go for that or they should be less and how many. I may be a little ahead with this but maybe it's not bad to have this question in mind even at this stage of the discussion.

?Tommy,

   Sorry, my previous response fired off prematurely.
I like your design, but there's only one part of it that troubles me: Every time the wheel traverses
from the rotor holddown to the upramp, and again from the upramp to the downramp, the wheel
is instantaeously obliged to reverse ITS direction of rotation. This effect will certainly act as a
brake to the whole motor, analogous to turbine RETROjets utilized in commercial jet aircraft immediately after
touchdown which contribute to deceleration.

Sooner or later you will discover that the force of that brake is exactily the same as the torque force created by repulsion of the magnets over the rotor...

I don?t think this is such a big problem. With a proper adjustment this ?brake? can be avoided, never mind the change of rotation direction. Nevertheless, it seems simpler to return to Torbay?s original idea. The beveling there is on the material (bronze, I guess) in which stator magnets are inlayed, not on the magnets themselves, so it won?t be difficult to make. Attachment of small wheels (bearings) on top of stator magnet levers as well as the big wheel attached to the rotor shouldn?t be a problem too. The motor cap, attached to the rotor, can only be a partial annulus with a slanting section (thus rotor won?t be too heavy, although otherwise it may act as a flywheel ? asymmetric, though) and that doesn?t seem to be too difficult to make too. Probably it?s time to get to the concrete dimensions. Anyone with CAD/CAM and skills to use it?

Hi Jay,

You could be right here. Once we've created one stator segment we know how big it is and we can work out the diameter of the circle they sit along (in case of 16 stator segments: (16 * width of one segment / Pi   Right??) From there we can also derive the size of the rotor (little bit smaller then the inner circle of the stator).
I'm not sure about the balsa wood. Isn't it better to start with a readily available U frame (aluminium) ?

? That would be pretty simple to work with also... the only thing is that we may have to purchase an entire stock length, which is the case around here (unless you have a metal shop willing to sell cut-length). The metal shops close to me only carry a small line of aluminum, usually square tubing and rod, but I will look for some I-beam and channel today...

I think it willbe quite hard to arced magnets that will exactly fit our needs, unless we base our design on those arcs (which i wouldn't prefer...) What we could do i suppose is use quite a few of little ones standing up something like IIIIIIIIII. All those small ones can be placed in a fairly good circle shape i presume.
Do you want to start a new thread on this board or maybe on yahoo groups ?

Btw, I've got Sketchup 3d here too. Looks like a good tool to draw the designs in.
Jay, have you got any idea about the dimensions of those stator segment. I looked at some U frames that are 25*25*25 mm (2 mm thick alu). That would need a circle of 12.7 cm diameter. It looks like we might be able to fit a hdd platter inside that circle too.... Is that along the way you were thinking?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Liberty on April 03, 2006, 06:45:15 PM
I only see one issue.  If there are magnets on the rotor facing the stator magnets N to N; as you said, the magnet will quickly move to the gap and lock up between stator magnets.  Even if one magnet is out of the way, the other two magnets will move only to the gap between the other stator magnets and lock up the motor.  I believe that the magnets on the rotor that you refer to were mounted above the stator magnets on the rotor and were used to push the magnets down to the resting position, not for propulsion.  I do not believe that it is possible to use them in the rotor for the above reason.  However, if you use the stator magnets to provide the repulsive magnetic field in a steel rotor, I believe that the motor will work, or if a magnet is on the rotor, it should be attached to the steel rotor plate.
Just my opinion, but a simple test can show you this.  Use 3 magnets of the same pole.  Space two of them about 2 or 3 inches apart (stationary magnets) and hold the 3rd magnet in hand in between the two stationary magnets.  Either way you go, you will hit the magnetic repel field of the stationary magnets.  It will want to rest in between the two magnets.  This enough to lock up the motor or at least cause it to perform poorly or not at all.

Final design in my opinion is the one suggested by Torbay. Eight (or sixteen as in the patent) stator magnets with levers, beveled at the bottom and with small wheels on top. Three rotor magnets attached on a 9.5cm HD disc, a larger wheel attached appropriately ahead of the three rotor magnets and a motor cap attached to the rotor with an appropriate opening and a sloping ramp.

As far as I can tell none of the proposed slight modifications can beat original Torbay's design so far.

So, Omnibus, what is the FINAL design, the final theory, that we are to replicate then?

I didn't see any one post where everyone agreed, maybe I missed it. Please help, thanks!

Were gonna do this guys!!

Post by: Feb2006 on April 03, 2006, 08:45:25 PM
I think my design in Reply #305 is simpler, only one wheel on each stator piece to do the lifting and down puch
no wheel on the rotor no bevel on each stator piece only a up ramp a down ramp and hold down on the rotor (motor) cap.

 Tommy,

   Sorry, my previous response fired off prematurely.
I like your design, but there's only one part of it that troubles me: Every time the wheel traverses
from the rotor holddown to the upramp, and again from the upramp to the downramp, the wheel
is instantaeously obliged to reverse ITS direction of rotation. This effect will certainly act as a
brake to the whole motor, analogous to turbine RETROjets utilized in commercial jet aircraft immediately after
touchdown which contribute to deceleration.
                                                                                 

U can use two weels on the stator.
 Butt i think i use Torbay's design first or maybe not havent decided yet.
I think this is a great way to share ideas and we all dont have to build the motor the exact same way.
 And a litle humour is no harm .   
                                                     Take care.            tommy                                                                                       
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on April 03, 2006, 08:53:55 PM

I am convinced that the motor works/looks like this:

The rotor has three magnets(N pointing toward stator magnets) on it like the pictures and patents show, and all around the stator are magnets (N pointing toward rotor) that are on wood or metal pieces with a triangle formation on their bottoms so they can be lifted by the rotor as it moves.

The KEY to this motor and the reason it works is due to the fact that a stator magnet if LIFTED. This lifting happens BEFORE the three rotor magnets get near that lifted magnet and the magnet if lifted ABOVE all the stator magnet so that there isn't any interactions.

The reason the magnet lifting is the KEY is detailed below:
Just as Jason O pionted out with one of his pictures, when you have a complete circle of magnets with all N poles facing inward and you place one rotor magnet inside with N pole facing the stators, nothing happens!
BUT, when you take out one of those stator magnets what you have now if a semi-circle of stator magnets pointing N poles inward and if you place that same rotor magnet inside with N pole facing the stators that magnet will move QUICKLY TO THE GAP that was created by lifting that one stator magnet, because it has a way out from the N<->N repulsions!


Okay, I totally agree.

Quote

So in the Argentina motor, we have a situation where a cat is chasing it's tail and can NEVER catch it.

Right.

Quote
It is the act of CONSTANTLY lifting a stator magnet that makes the three rotor magnets MOVE TO THE GAP (AKA THE MAGNET YOU JUST LIFTED). I think it would be safe to say that you could lift the stator magnet that is TWO MAGNETS away (as opposed to the exact next magnet as the patent shows) from the rotor's current position and the device would still work, becuase those rotor magnets would want to get to that gap point.

Also, as long as you don't put down that lifted stator magnet BEFORE you lift the NEXT one then the device will keep on "chasing it's tail!!"

Exactly. it does not need to be exactly in front of the rotor, but it can also be a few more stator magnets away.


Quote
So all the design requires it a stator with liftable magnets, the rotor with the two/three rotor magnets, and the RAMP that is on the rotor that lift the oncoming stator magnets one by one. That is oversimplified, but shows the basic and main features that are needed!

Right, Tao,
also it would be sufficient, if the rotor cap ( lid-cap) is able to hold down all the stator magnet
and only one stator magnet is automatically lifted by the huge repelling forces, where the
lid-cap has a hole (break) in it.
If the rotor lid-cap turns, every next stator magnet will pop up
due to the repelling forces and the ramp on the lid-cap will
force the already lifted statormagnet to go down again under the lid-cap.
This way there need not to be any wheel or springs, just stator magnets
on a fullcrum, that go automatically up due to the reppeling forces
when the lidcap hole reaches them.

This is then much simpler !
I wonder, how many RPM such a design can get and how loud it runs,
as it will make a permanent noise as the stator magnets pop up and
go down one after the other.....

Too bad, no Argentina user has yet found the AVI files from Torbay in any
Argentina Forum. Can you please again ask in spanish language for the AVI video
files in all related Argentina forums please ?
Many thanks.

It would be interesting if that's the case. Maybe we can try it this way first just to see if it will work. In the final version, however, I feel there must be a deliberate lifting mechanism to ensure stator magnets are always lifted at the right time. Correct lifting of stator magnets is crucial for the functioning af the device.

I?m taking this discussion very seriously. Torbay is under heavy attack and there is no place here for silly jokes of any kind. I don?t care who found what funny. This is an extremely serious matter and should be taken accordingly.

It is very inconsiderate to pop-up in the middle of the discussion with apparent interest in something that has already been discussed at length and is already understood by the participants.

Such behavior dilutes the discussion and one may think that it is one of the numerous methods adversaries apply to squash such discussions. This may or may not apply to you but you should be aware that there is such a possibility so I urge you to change your attitude.

Hartiberlin,

Torbay explicitly said that he used springs to help to put arm back in the stator ring.  I strongly believe that he used them to balance out repeling force.  When arm is balanced ( up force = down force ) it is way easier on the rotor to move them into up or down position.  If they are not balanced rotor has to have enough momentary torque to overcome sudden resistance ( as you pointed out - "huge repelling forces") to press the arm back into the stator ring.

George

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: tjanzer on April 04, 2006, 03:22:36 AM
I agree with you George. I think you need the work from the springs to keep the system unbalanced.

I am presently working on a motor along thhe same line as Torbay. I won't say that it is a replicaton of his motor only that it is based on his principles. I want to try it without springs, but I will definitely have provisions for them.

Hi Jaybird,

Thanks for your concern, but I didn't mean to leave the impression that I was offended and leaving, a little taken back at the level of control perhaps, but not offended. (It is my nature to forgive and I have done so and consider the matter ended). 

I realize that we can all make the style of motor that we believe has the best chance for success.  (No one is locked into producing the 'agreed upon' motor that Omnibus has in mind. (This thread was just intended to be a format to give the people an understanding of how to replicate the performance of the TGM and learn about it).  I encourage Tao and others to continue with the inventive ideas and test their new ideas on their own as they may very well have merit.

I decided to give Omnibus ample room to persue the design of his choice.  I will do the same.

I will be "around" and persue 'my understanding' of the motor quietly and strive to fully understand what knowledge Torbay and others have offered to us, and to get an operational magnet motor that is powerful enough to drive an alternator/generator load.  I believe that we all have this worthy goal in mind and can achieve it if we apply ourselves properly and in a friendly sort of way.

Hope you will all be winners from what you learn, courtesy of Hartiberlin's web site "Overunity.com"!

Post by: silverdragonrs on April 04, 2006, 08:49:29 AM
for my sake let me see if i understand the mechanics of this device.

we have a rotor topped by a curved plate surrounded by upwards pivoting
magnets

the rotor contain one magnet on one side and the curve on the top plate is on the other

as the magnet in down position is attracting the rotor magnet the oposite magnet is repulsing the
curved top plate thus creating spin of rotor

oposite the rotors magnet is an arm containing weels that lift the oposing
magnet via ramp as the rotor turns

as the rotor weel arm passes and the next atracting magnet pulls it around the opposing magnet falls
to its resting/atracting possition and the next magnet in line raises to oppose the curved top plate


ball bearings fixed to the base allow the rotor to turn freely

this is what i have gathered as of page 9 in this thread am i close at least a little?

i have been up many many many coffies past my bed time so perhaps ill understand it a little more once it sinks in with sleep.
(btw i dont see any springs) but then i am only on page 9 like i said..... has anything else been descovered about this device since page 9? anyone ever go to the university of NY website for their findings and analogy of the device? ok need to stop typing now....  c-ya l8r

there seems to be a cilinder (just below the "top plate") is it possable that it is the "disk" magnet? is it possable to permenently magnetise a solid metal cililder like that? ....... sorry about my spelling just woke up.

so to start what is this term stator (magnet, ring, so on) everyone keep mentioning...... just read down a little.... i wasnt aware somebody had spoken with Torbay....... well I guess i had better get back to reading.... seems im quite a bit farther behind than i thought! hhhmmm page 9 out of 40 or so.... this could take a while anyone got the highlights?

Wow, that's cool stuff, tao. You've done a great job. What progam did you use to do that? Is it possible to show the individual details and their dimensions? Maybe this way we can start the concrete discussion of the details and come up together with the concrete designs and send it for machining, as jaybird's original idea was. And, yes, I think wood'll be a good first choice. 

I'm not so sure I agree with your rotor magnet concept, however. I know you've done simulations but I still think the original Torbay three(four)-magnet rotor variant is to be preferred. Seems it will make the motor more powerful. You may prove me wrong, though.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: silverdragonrs on April 04, 2006, 04:55:34 PM
perhaps i have misread the following statement

Quote
but for pushing (down) the magnet you need TWO Frep*cos(alpha) from alpha 45 or greater to alpha=0 (exactly in the circle).

No, powering of the magnet (pushing it down, as you put it) is spontaneous ? no energy is spent by the motor. It can occur under the action of gravity, for instance. Therefore, the conclusion you make is incorrect.

in reply 141

i think i read in the newspaper or website (someplace) that this device generated a spin even in the vacuum of space and could be used to power satalites and such. if that is the case then gravity would not be a factor anyplace in this device. or are they refering to the fact that it could be modified to work in space (lightweight springs added over the magnet to push it down again to replace the gravity factor)

i am sorry to bring up old posts i am just trying to understand the posts as i read them so as to "draw" an acurate picture in my mind as to how this device works.

also let me try and understand the physics of the magnet circle and rotor relationship here. ----

the rotor is atracted to the missing force in the circle of magnets wich is caused by the removal/raising of one magnet at a time. (raising caused by unknown force as of reply 141) (i have a theory on how this works but will save it untill i catch up to present replies for the sake of redundancy)
as the rotor turns the next magnet is being raised and the rotor continues in motion toward the now raised magnet.

i still do not understand the purpose of the plate on top...... it has been mentioned to "push" the magnet down but that would create friction and resistance in the rotor so that couldn't be right.... am i missing something?

well back to reading...

I am going to provide a complete visual communication with calculations I did in FEMM for magnetic analysis of the two rotor ideas. The 3/4 magnet rotor idea DOES work, but I am of the mind, RIGHT NOW, that the disc magnet magnetized through its diameter might be better.

Tao, would you be able to post your FEMM files that you did already on here. That way we/I can do some calculations too?

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 04, 2006, 05:19:36 PM
Danny, see if this helps: The machine in question works only on the basis of repulsive force of permanent magnets placed properly in a special construction. The rotor has three adjacent magnets with their N poles directed outward, facing the N poles of three of the stator magnets. The fourth stator magnet is raised which allows a net tangential force to be created due to the magnetic repulsion. Said net force is enough to turn the rotor toward the gap (where fourth magnet was to be if not lifted) and to lift through a simple mechanism the fifth stator magnet. The raised fourth magnet descends while the rotor is turning until the three rotor magnets again face three stator magnets, one stator magnet off. At that, fifth magnet is fully raised and the whole above process repeats itself.

As for the raised stator magnet. It will not descend all by itself due to gravity because of the mutual repulsion among magnets which will keep it where it is (raised).

The importance of the cap is to keep down all the rest of the stator magnets, except for the one being raised and the one being lowered. If they are not deliberately kept down who knows where they?d go during the working of the machine ? remember that they mutually repel each other and also are repelled by the rotor magnets.

silverdragonrs, you?re quite right. This was one of the points we were discussing. Whether we should go along Torbay?s original design with the beveling you point out or with the small wheels attached frontally at each stator lever and use a ramp to raise them. I think beveling is a better idea but I may be wrong.

 ?However I also noticed that all of the speaker magnets I have (mag thru thickness) have a "spot" in them that makes it react like it IS magnetized thru its diameter. Out of 6 Ring magnets I have, I have identified and circled (for past experiments) these "bubbles" that make them react like a Dia. magnetized ring mag....that may be why these were my best results.

The non-rotor magnets (the stator magnets) retract (descend) pushed by the sloping part of the motor cap.  Stator magnets (the levers they're attached on) have small rollers attached to them which help the motor cap to hold them down almost all of the time, except when they reach the opening in the motor cap.

The levers of the stator magnets have slanted bevels which allow a wheel attached to the rotor to lift the corresponding magnet, That?s the essence of Torbay?s design. Someone else here proposed to replace these bevel with small wheels attached frontally at the stator levers and to have a profiled ramp to raise the lever at the appropriate time.

What is the easiest and cheapest way to make a prototype from a CAD drawing to machined parts ?
Is this Emachineshop or is there a better solution ?
Where can we buy the right magnet for the stators and the rotor ?
If we create maybe a GPL open source Emachineshop file for the motor, every private person can order this design and can easily build his own magnet motor...
 What do you think ?

I also thought eMachineShop was a great thing but it seems pretty expensive. I tried it yesterday and even simple details were over $100 a piece. Maybe if we make a large order it will be cheaper for everyone. Also, maybe because I don't know it well yet, it doesn't seem too flexible when trying to draw more complex details. Have you tried it?

Yes, they have their own CAD which also calculates the price and you can order it from there. It allows you to chose the method, material and so on.

Maybe we can all download their free software and use this to design a Torbay replication and post the Emachineshop files over here and everybody can access them and make them better step by step ?

Yes. Exactly. This would be a great solution. Especially if those more familiar with it can help in drawing the more complex details. As far as 3D, you draw it in 2D but then it has 3D rendering to see how the detail looks like. I thought it was just for illustration.

i am finally able to get back on the site :) thought i might have been banned for being to stupid or something :)

anywho i usually go with my gut on this kind of thing and i must admit that emachineshop does not sound the way to go.... 95% of the people will not be able to afford it (myself included) i agree with releasing a detailed 3d model of the device including all the peices I am good with bryce and have several other programs worth using but i am afraid i do not know enough about the device to attempt anything. I do have an extensive work shop on my property and I may be able to help with the production end assuming the material is easy enough to manage just one person. the magnets may or may not be possable in my shop i have never attempted to cut/carve a magnet before so i do not know (probably not)

given that the rotor and rotor cap are made of a low temp metal I should be able to create them the elevating arms and the bases in my shop. I must forwarn that It would take me a few months to create all the molds and perfect the techniques involved but in the end after they are made then turning out ten or fifteen of each part should only take a matter of days.

my only price would be the materials be sent to me and I need one peice of equipment that i do not have anymore... a computerised laithe <sp? ...... in addition I do have cad and could use it to directly create parts over the laithe.....

(this is a last desperate option) I am no professional just lucky enough to have the means to do this. (my shop really isn't build for this kind of detail but could pull it off with a lot of effort)

on to more realistic subjects..... how much are we talking about on emachineshop to do this entire project? $100 a peice and there are how many peices involved?........ I thaught that Talbots site said it only cost $150 U.S. to build the thing.... or did I misunderstand?

on a redneck slap it together note..... how important are the details on this thing... i understand that there are many fine details in a device like this... so a guy like me with absolutely no money probable couldn't just grab a file and start carving bevels in magnets and weld a few peices of metal together or create molds and such... this is more than likely going to be a project for computer aided machining.... right?.....

anyways I am just trying to figure out how the little guy is going to get his hand on/make one of these devices once you all finish the design.

what programs are you all using for simulations (FEMME???) and how hard are they to learn/use if your were a beginner? I would love to test some of my ideas and what not....
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: silverdragonrs on April 05, 2006, 06:55:47 AM
ok I am almost up to date on this device but one question......

the rotor is held in an upright position by two bearings acording to the pictures.....

the elevating arms w/magnets are pushed up by either a rotor arm w/weels, or some sort of bevel setup. either way once it's up it's up.

the rotor cap pushes the elevating arm back down after the rotor magnets reach there destination and the rotor w/arm moves on to the next elevating arm.

Q #1 ) with all that magnetic force holding that elevating arm up there right now....... what is keeping the rotor from pulling up and out of the bearings? what is stopping it from flying off? :)   

Q #2 ) had anyone looked into the generator that he used with his device? I would love to get/build one that could create that kind of power... self propelled motor or not! I think that this generator is just as important as the device. the over all torque on this thing can't be all that high... right? .... i mean are we talking stop it from turning with your hand or pliers..... or are we talking heavy duty torque?.... and if it's not heavy duty torque then where do you get a generator to produce this kind of energy without requiring alot of torque to power it?

has anyone had a successfull 100% simulation yet?

ok i finally read and understand the entire thread (i think) and am ready to start building my prototype...... one problem.... can anyone list some scources where i can get magnets from i have no money but plenty of harddrives and speakers.

I have only six two inch long rectanglular perm magnets (not sure of quality) and four more that are half an inch shorter than that..... can i cut them all into one inch (somehow)..... will that still work for stator magnets?

also i am not sure as to the layout of the rotor magnets (three pointing up left then right or all three side by side pointing in one direction? the patent shows them all pointing in one direction mostly...... or are we going to try the disk magnet first?)

I do not have a teslemeter or even know what it is... along with half the tools you are all using.... so i need somebody to tell me where to find sutable magnets.

MOST IMPORTANT - i know that all the magnets are going to need cuts and bevels and such.... what i have not been able to gather from the thread is where what angle/shape and demensions.......

I think you have all done a great job analyzing this device based on nothing but a few articles and blurry pictures and i know it will work. I want to thank you all for your effort and dedication to this project....... ( I know i am enjoying it) I have learned so much in the last few days it isn't funny!

just a heads up - my first prototype will be disk magnet rotor with lifting arm w/ weels for lifting elevating arms. trial and error is the only way we will be able to work out the remaining details i think.

one last question before i hit the sack for the night - does anyone have any spare magnets they would be willing to part with and mail to me?....  ;D  J/K

seriously though omnibus, tao, everyone, ..... do you think that for a prototype that aluminum will be a good material to use for everything other than the magnets of course. aluminum melts easy and i don't like the idea of making it out of wood....

problem - the pins that alow the elevating arms to elevate..... wouldn't they where out really really really fast? were talkin alot of up and down.... there has to be a better way..... (for future models)

danny
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: silverdragonrs on April 05, 2006, 09:20:53 AM
agreed on all points. and understood. my thought was that at some point a bearing of some sort should be emplemented in the design. on the site and in the papers they talk about it lasting 5000 years because that is the life of the magnet they used. however the pins would give out in only a few years max (assuming that the device opperates at a medium to moderate rate of speed)

also the question of how many magnets was asked at some point. I think that the number of magnets you use depends greately on the size and quality of the magnets you are going to implement. exp. the magnets that I will be using do not have a super strong feild and if i only use 8 magnets then the fields would not interact/overlap causing the rotor magnet to get stuck between magnets up or down. if i can not find better magnets i will have to "close the field" so to say by using more magnets.

You're not forgetting the repulsion force resisting the lifted magnet as it is being pushed back down between two magnets of like polarity, are you?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 05, 2006, 03:02:01 PM
Thanks a lot, tao. I wonder if I understand it correctly? The net force would exist if the calculated lines of force of the rotor magnets do not appear symmetrical and will be in the direction of narrowing the distance between these lines. If that?s the case, obviously magnetmotor11.ans (whereby the circle of stator magnets is closed) won?t provide a net force ? picture seems symmetric. Not so in magnetmotor12.ans (with a gap in the stator) ? the lines, although frugal in my picture, are clearly non-symmetric and appear to get closer towards the gap.

Could you please make a graph of the same disposition of the three rotor magnets but with flat surfaces (flat surfaces of the stator magnets too)? Thanks.

The rest of the pictures don?t seem to show anything as unusual as magnetmotor12.ans  as far as I can see.

Now as the server again has a new bandwidth for the new

draining my bandwidth, now I can also download the other files.
Many thanks for the Bryce file, will download them now.

Who has already played with Lua scripting and can do an

It seems a circular magnet with normal South-North magnetisation
through its diameter really has the most useful torque.
I will post at the weekend the screen shots of these FEMM files,

just an idea but why dont we design molds to be made by emachineshop instead of actual peices.... this way we can reproduce the parts as needed and save some money since most of the parts on this device repeat themselves.

also the more i look at this device (peice by peice) the more detail i see being needed... and the less likely i see myself "rednecking" a prototype. I will continue to try but will be glad to assist in a group effort as well.

I am not sure how I can help so just let me know.

I have over two hundred old hard drives that are only 170- 500 MB so useless. I am taking them apart right now if anybody wants some of the parts (disks, motor, magnets, case) just email me and I'd be glad to share.

I am trying to find a magnet that is "polorised through its center" as mentioned before because i think this could work as well in the rotor. does anyone know of a disk magnet that meets the criteria? exp. speaker magnet?

and has anyone figured out if we can leave the magnets uncut? if we can't then does anyone know what cuts to make for this device? I don't quite understand how this part works.

As a side note, I havent had much luck with a normally magnetized (thru thickness) ring magnet setup the way that you would expect it to work, so the ring magnet must be magnetized thru diameter, or cut in 1/2, 1/3 etc. (havent been able to do that yet, ruined 2 trying tho!)

Okay, I still had time to do it now,
here are the pics from my simulation.
I have used a pretty small mesh inside the
airgap and have put another center circle into the airgap,
this gives the best true simulation results of the forces.
So if you want to try my FEMM files,
put the red marking for the force calculation integral
onto the center circle in the airgap.

Now it would be nice, if a better FEMM pro can do a LUA
animation with the stator magnets going up and down
one by one and also trying to see, if the torque force on the rotor
is bigger than the force needed to push the last stator magnet
again into the circle.
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
P.S: I have put the origin into the center of the rotor, so the torque
display in the pics is the real torque onto the magnetrotor and it is
pretty huge !

cheap standard parts as ball bearings and rotor

I figured out how to cut magnets

it is a lot like cutting glass. scar the magnet pretty good on both sides and break. then use a file to smooth it out. don't use impact (a hammer or such) to break it as impact often weakens a magnet if not ruining it all together. just keep scarring it untill you can break it with your hands. as for really thick magnets i have not tryed (dont have any) this technique has worked every time for me on magnets up to 1/2 inch thick so far. if you are trying to create an angled cut just use the file or use a dremel. the seperation/cut has to be fast becuase once you cut it through then the oposing poles will cause stress and often cause breakage.

the rotor cap lid is simple to make

use the bottom of a pop can (aluminum is nonmagnetic i think... havent checked) then use a rubber malet and a round pipe to shape the curve. use a file on the edges

not very scientific but it will work.

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 06, 2006, 05:24:25 AM
So, tao, the tendencies so far in the design are to have a whole round rotor magnet, magnetized along the diameter, as in your Bryce drawing (the one with parts made of wood) and rectangular stator magnets. This would provide a better torque than the design with the three (or four) separate rotor magnets, correct?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 06, 2006, 05:54:19 AM
That'll be easier to make, probably. Especially the fact that stator magnets are simple rectangles so we won't need to make their front surfaces concave. You're right about the balancing, as well. Especially at these rpm's.

Post by: georgemay on April 06, 2006, 12:36:10 PM

Hi Tao, many thanks for the new great Bryce drawings and the calculations. Maybe, iy you can now render with it several pics which shows the magnets going up and down we can compose of this a complete animation, how the Torbay principle works...
That would be great, if we could have at least an animation of it.
I also saw in my simulations, that it is curious, that rectangular stator magnets seem to have more force and torque onto the rotor and I still ask me, why this is ?? It am still puzzled by this fact ?? Is this logical ?
Okay with also a pure disc magnet as the rotor it will also be much easier to design the rotor, instead of single rectangular rotor magnets combined...
I still have to simulate, if the disc based magnet rotor gives more torque than a few rectangular magnets in the rotor combined...
We also need to do force simulations to see, how big the repelling force is to press one stator again back down in your new pics example, but as the next stator magnet is already liftibg up, this backpressing force will be much lower....
Anyway, this new design looks very good and easy to make ! Thanks!
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on April 06, 2006, 12:50:17 PM
Also let us be realistic, this principle is just too much mechanical stress to rotate at higher RPM, so we can be lucky, if we get to 300 RPM and can get maybe 10Watts out contineously in the first prototype.... Do you agree ?
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on April 06, 2006, 01:01:15 PM
Also I ask myself, if wheels will indded have the smallest friction on the lid-cap and if it is not better to have some maybe graphit based sliding contact for the stators at the lid-cap. also it must be probably a real triangular-eponential ramp with no bump at the end, so the stators will not jump too much at higher RPM so it will not be too shaky and wobbling....

Dear friends,
Congratulations for everybody!!! I think it is a great work and it?s very nice to share it.
I?d a lot of simulations and I?m filling a document with results (my problem is time :-\)
I agree with harti and Tao results at a first view with some additional (and important, I think) remarks:
1.- Force (and torque) changes with relative position between rotor-stator-gap. There is a period shape with peaks and valleys force.
2.- Maybe, the force (and the torque, and, more important, the energy) is greater with separated magnets in stator because the space (and the time) with "peaks" field is greater and the integral (work) is greater. That means you have less field (with separated magnets) but you have more time (space) that it is useful. I guest there will be a optimal distance but there are a lot variables that affects it. I expect to get data to confirm this (it is only a "theory" based on no systematic simulations)
3.- There is an optimal point to hold down the stator magnet just in a valley force instant. At this time, there is a peak of kinetic energy in the rotor that is used to hold down without a strong resistance. Think in a pendulus: peak of gravity potential energy mgh can be equivalent to peak of magnetic force and the peak of kinetic energy (1/2mv2) is quivalent to the same in the rotor.
Another "warning" is about materials. Conductors (aluminium, for instance) will have strong currents when the rotor (a magnet) moves. Remember Harti animated draw in S.Mark issue. There is a very simple and illustrative experiment: the Lenz pipeline; drop a small magnet (cylinder) inside a cupper pipeline(no magnetic material) (1m long for instance) holding vertical. The magnet is braked (even stops in some instants). (Magnet diameter must be closely to pipeline diameter). So conductors could brake the rotor ... from my point of view.
I expect the above remarks can help a little bit ...
Regards.

Post by: Omnibus on April 06, 2006, 02:07:52 PM
tao, that?s awesome. Thanks a lot for the pics. I would be beside myself even if I see the rotor making full turns at 10 rpms. Just seeing such rotor turn goes against everything the world has been told regarding these machines.

Your solution with springs seems simpler but I agree with Stefan that there may be a problem with the lifting design of the motor cap.  Probably it should be smoothed out at the two ends. Also, shouldn?t the lifting be more sudden than the descending (although such asymmetry may cause problems at high rpm)?

The rectangular shape of the stator magnets being better than having concave face is puzzling me too.

Post by: 2tiger on April 06, 2006, 02:36:45 PM
Hello all
The last day I?ve been reading this tread about the Torbay Motor, trying to understand its function.
What I see is different to that what you are talking about.
Please tell me if I?m wrong and excuse my bad englisch.

I found that the best and most interesting picture of the motor is that with the wooden prototype. There you can see the rotor-arm. Regarding the shadow of it, it seems to be a half-circle. So I don?t think that the rotor is lifting one (one of seven!) magnet-arm at a time. The rotor lifts tree or four magnet arms at a time.
In both cases there is a desequilibrium because there are tree magnets (down) and four magnets up and vice versa.

Then I read you talking about the sticky point. Long time ago I try to design my own magnet-motor. When you have a magnet on the rotor north-sided to the stator and on the stator you four magnets (12, 3, 6, 9 o?clock)  north sided to the rotor, you will notice that between every magnet on the stator there are sticky points.
I think that the Torbay motor has the same `problem?.

And now let me think about the ring magnet in the rotor. You wrote that it is south-north trough the diameter. So the only way there can be a torque is when the north-half of the ringmagnet ist facing to the magnets-arm that are down, so that repulsion can create a torque.
But the south-half of ringmagnet is facing to the upper magnetsarm that where lifted by the created torque by repulsion. Here you have an atraction, south of the ringmagnet to the lifted northpoles of the lifted arms.
So you need to produce enough torque to lift up tree magnets-arms that are cought by the atraction of the ringmagnet.

See U

tao i believe that is the most understandable.... acurate description of this motors functions to date. if you are currect in that the south end will seek the midpoint then i agree with the use of a disk magnet polarised as you say. I don't know figures and terms but i do know mechanics and 3 demensional behavior in machinery. I believe that the first prototype should include the disk magnet.

omnibus, tao, hartiberlin - you all seem to have a grasp on magnetics... could you give me a simple explenation as to the differance between concave and square north ends on the stator magnets in this case. please.

Post by: tjanzer on April 06, 2006, 03:38:31 PM
Tao,

The graphics are great! I would like to mention something about the springs. I think the springs should be used to help bring the stator magnet back in line with the rest. I think there will be more resistance in lowering it back into place than lifting it. You will probably have help in lifting it by the repulsive force. The design I am working on is upside down from yours, where the stator magnets are lowered out of the way instead of lifted. It will be easier for the introduction of springs. I am also looking into putting a track for the stator magnets to ride in. This way, they will be directed in both up and down directions.

TJ
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 06, 2006, 03:43:42 PM
silverdragonrs, I agree with you that tao?s explanation is very convincing and one of the best. As for concave surface, it is a surface curved inward ? imagine the inner surface of a glass. One would think that stator magnets with concave front surfaces would be the best in such construction because put together will best approximate an inner circle which will be equally outstanding everywhere from the outer surface of the magnetic rotor. Not so, turns out. tao?s and Stefan?s simulations using FEMM showed that flat facing surfaces of the stator magnets would provide more torque. 2tiger gave an explanation but I still think it?s puzzling.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Omnibus on April 06, 2006, 03:48:17 PM
tjanzer, do you think at high rpms the lifting by the repulsive force would be reliable enough to ensure proper lifting? Synchronized lifting at just the same height is crucial for the functioning of the device. Otherwise, it would be great ? I never liked the spring idea. Would rather see it with small wheels and a ramp. Too many additional details, though.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: dutchy1966 on April 06, 2006, 03:50:15 PM

Also, with the kind of torque we have seen in the FEMM modeling it is very hard to believe that this motor wouldn't work. .

Tao

Tao,

It seems from my femm calculations that you even get A LOT more torque when you lift more stator magnets ahead of the rotor. Can you please verify this with your femm models.
If I modify HartiBerlin models I get torques up to about 14 N/m instead of around 5 N/m!! The simulation lifted about 4 of the 8 magnets AHEAD of the rotor.
Femm model is attached....

thanx!

Post by: tjanzer on April 06, 2006, 03:56:15 PM
Omnibus,

I just think you might need springs to help with the work to overcome the repulsive forces. I really don't like them either but at this point it sort of makes sense. Until my model is finished, I won't know if they are required. I am just looking into the drag of the motor and I think most of it naturally comes from the lifting and lowering of the stator magnets. Whatever could be used to reduce this drag will help performance.

TJ
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: tjanzer on April 06, 2006, 04:05:02 PM
Omnibus,

Also, to answer your first question. At higher RPM the repulsive force may not be enough to complete the task. This is why I am using a track for the stator magnets. It is the same as using two top plates as in Tao's drawings and have the stator mags ride inside.

The stator is lifted at between south and north of the arc/semicircle, it is now balanced, because it wants to get to the midpoint.
Now that this stator magnet is lifted, let us take him away and take look what happens. The rotor is still balance.
The other midpoint of the arc/semicircle faces a statormagnet (N) that is down -> no torque, couse of the balancing to the midpoint
The south side of the ringmagnet faces to a statormagnet (N) ?-> attraction
 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? +
The north side of the ringmagnet faces to a statormagnet (N) ?-> repulsion

I don?t still see any unbalance in this setup, that is needed to produce a torque.

the problem (easely overcome) with the track omnibus is that as the arm lifts the weel will move away from the track.... just pointing out the obvious somethimes we get so caught up in the details we forget the basics :)

tjanzer - i don't think up or down will be a problem.... any help down is good to reduce friction as the rotor cap drags along the top of the stator magnet but the cap/rotor shouldn't have much trouble getting the magnet down again as hartiberlin said the next magnet in the chain is on its way up wich should weeken the feild enough to allow the previous stator magnet to be pushed down effortlessly.

i dont know much about magnetic fields as in your femm simulations so could somebody tell me if i can sub magnet one (image provided) as the rotor magnet (create a ring with them in my rotor) i can not find a disk magnet at all much less one like you all describe.

Post by: tjanzer on April 06, 2006, 04:59:38 PM
Silverdragonrs,

Per attached drawing. N2 is on the way up. N3 is up and on the way down.
As N2 rises, it is helped by N1 and opposed by N3.
As N3 lowers, it is opposed by N2 and then opposed by N4.
Once N2/N3 are past midpoint, they will help each other but N3 is still opposed by N4.
(oops, I think the direction arrow is the wrong way).

This is why I think you may require springs to return the stator in line.

the lifted stator magnets again back into the track.

@Tao
yes I agree totally with your description of the fields.
I did a simulation with just the stator magnets without the rotor in it
and when 1 stator
magnet is away  the field looks like a "bar-magnet"....
so the rotor magnet surely wants to turn by 90 degrees to align with this
pseudo "bar-magnet". So the disc magnet is really the best solution and
the easiest, cause we can buy disc magnets with a hole in the center
and this will also have the lowest unbalance ( this is better than several
magnets on a rotor which have to be balanced with additional weights).

I hope Tao can soon make an animation with Bryce, so we can show the world
how the motor will work and everybody understands it much better.
Tao, if you can provide a few rendered highres pics, I can compress them into a AVI movie
or GIF animation.
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

@silverdragonrs
it depends how your magnets are polarized via the magnetisation.
You can probably use a few of the "magnet four" of your drawing
for the stator magnets and for the rotor magnet get a disc magnets
where the North-Southpole polarisation goes through its diameter.
You can use a small bar magnet to see, where the poles are on your magnets
and where it repells or attracts.
Sometimes magnets are polarized also with many poles on its surfaces, like
N-S-N-S-N-S changing all the time, so they stick best to iron surfaces and
have thus more attraction force to the surface. These could not be used
for the Torbay motor.

I think I finally understand what is going on in this system, and I admit, it is very impressive.  :D

One thing though, and this goes toward ease of building; Instead of lifting the magnet away, why not place the wheel in tangent ??? to the disc magnet, and as it progresses the individual stator magnets are PUSHED AWAY from the rotor; ala pulling slices out of the pie rather than lifting them from the pie...  8)

From what I see is all that is needed to impart the movement towards equilibrium is to move a magnet out of the way and create a magnetic 'gap' for the rotor magnet to align with, so just pushing the magnet out of the way would accomplish this. In this way one could make a system completely two-dimensional and then you could make everything as long or tall as needed for the required power output, so you could have a very long cylindrical unit or just a short disc unit, with corresponding stator sizes, of course. Pretty much, you would be able to stack units on a common axis for more output.

Correct me if I am mistaken, I havent had the time to read the whole thread!  ;D

I see, sort of the difference between pulling two attracted magnets apart vs. sliding them past each other...
Ingenious indeed! It looks too that this device will be very simple to replicate... I must build one...

EDIT: One question, must the stators be so long, depth-wise? Could they be just as easily short, so that no hinge is needed but just a track to move up and down within?

I would say it's time to stop theorizing and rendering, and start cutting and gluing.

I think the optimism is unjustified, (surely you have noticed that the most promising free energy motor is, and always has been,
"the next one"?) but if I had the time and materials, I'd make one right now.

Don't worry about machine shops until you've got a wood version that works.

I suggest that nearly anything can be made from balsa wood... the secret is that you glue all the pieces together with
superglue (cyanoacrylate) and then coat the whole thing with epoxy glue. The result will be ugly and might need sanding
but will be very durable- the fragile balsa is acting as little more than a sponge to hold the glues, which dry very hard and
strong.

You can have a CAD drawing of all the pieces that prints out at 1/1 scale, and you could trace the pieces onto your balsa,
cut them out, and then assemble. This might be the best way to ensure anyone could replicate your device if you get it
working.

Diametrically magnetized ring or cylinder magnets are hard to find, especially if you want one larger than 2 inches...
everything else you can get at the local hardware store.

Post by: silverdragonrs on April 06, 2006, 09:44:08 PM
tjanzer - i thaught the idea was for the next stator magnet to already be up when the raised one was ready to fall (or at least most of the way) otherwise the entire system would hessetate while waiting for the next break in the possition to open. for smooth continuos motion the stator arm in your drawing that is on the rise should be at lest half way up if not 90% up by the time the last one is ready to fall. thus weakening the feild to the right side of the raised stator arm and allowing for less resistance on the way down.

hartiberlin - thanks i thought of that just moment before i checked your post.. (was on my way to report my findings)
also i looked at the femm site you listed for downloading and all i see are a bunch of bin.exe files and scripts.... what do i need to download and from the looks of things how do i use the darn thing :) (ignore the last part of that i am not trying to bug you all for lessons on software ill figure it out) but i do need to know what im downloading

the magnet drawn from a 3.5 floppy drive is indeed N S N S defferentiating every 1/4 inch throughout the outer edge of the ring magnet.

so somebody mentioned microwave magnets.... anyone checked on this yet? I would be really interested in finding a disk magnet polorised through its diameter like you all say. I (like several others reading) would really like to find one in everyday apliences.

No, they are not. They are polarized axially. I just spoke with a magnet company. It will cost approx. $500 to have a cylindrival magnet polarized along the diagonal. This is not something usual that they would do.

(this is based on the original motor and notes. no updates have been added and i warn anyone who is not sure of the devices funcions not to look at this in case i am wrong to avoid any confusion. this is mainly for tao, hartiberlin, and omnibus. notice that i did not draw the magnets concave in this drawing is this right? (the cuts of the magnets are the only question i have left for this device)

i am going to take a few days (after your replies) to build my device as i have all the parts i need becides the rotor magnet.

this drawing is based on the well/ramp method of lifting

after i have finished my prototype i will post my findings (more than likely early next week) and if successfull create a comprehensive walk through of everything i did.

Per attached drawing. N2 is on the way up. N3 is up and on the way down.
As N2 rises, it is helped by N1 and opposed by N3.
As N3 lowers, it is opposed by N2 and then opposed by N4.
Once N2/N3 are past midpoint, they will help each other but N3 is still opposed by N4.
(oops, I think the direction arrow is the wrong way).

This is why I think you may require springs to return the stator in line.

TJ
tjanzer,

   This in response to your reply #459, April 6, bottom of page 46, with your block diagram depicting the vertical movement of adjacent stators. I'm looking for more clarification on what you said near the end in parentheses: "Oops, I think the direction arrow is the wrong way."
My question is, is there a consensus on which way is it supposed to be?
   In your depiction, the movement is assymetric, i.e. the up movement is shown relatively gradual and the down movement is sudden. This would be consistent with Torbay's early wood block prototype, with the wheel underneath the beveled stator magnet holders.
   Whereas in Tao's recent video model with the hump in the rotor, the movement is symetric, i.e. even both up and down. If the hump were to be modified so as to produce an assymetric movement, the stators could only behave oppositely: sudden up, gradual down. This is because the wheels are mounted on top of the stators.
   So we have 3 possible movements here, depending on which design we use (or bellcurve we imagine):
1. Even up & down
2. Gradual up, sudden down
3. Sudden up, gradual down

Does anyone have a considered opinion on which choice may be best?   
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: tjanzer on April 07, 2006, 03:15:50 PM
Cisco,

The drawing was in reference to Silerdragonrs statement that up and down won't be a problem. What I have attempted to show is a snapshot in time.  If N3 is dropping and N2 is rising, that would mean that the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction. Sorry for the confusion.

As far as your inquiry regarding the bellcurve (great word for this), until a few of us have our replications complete, I wouldn't even want to comment. I think we need to do tests to find out which is best. And thank-you for that question. I will try to design my rotor so that the ramp/bellcurve can be easily replaced or modified for these tests. Instead of making a replica, I am building a motor where most of the parts are adjustable such as, length of stator, heigth of stator,... This way, I will be able to try different diameter rotors and sizes of ramps.

The advantage of this is that the motor will be fully adjustable during the test phase. Also, if my design does not work (it will  :-*), I can easily modify it to someone who has a working model without scrapping the whole thing.

Post by: silverdragonrs on April 07, 2006, 06:16:49 PM
cisco - this device is multi directional it can go either way/ it just depends on where the rotor poles are facing when the device is started as it is going to move in what ever direction is closest to its target.

as to sudden up gradual down and such i think that the best rpms would be accomplished by sudden up and down though this would cause snags on the bellcurve if the curve is to steep so i think "as sudden as possable with regards to rotation" is the best answer. also i think now that i mentioned that the device is reversable (torbay said it was) that the bellcurve is semetrical as depicted in taos design.

question - we are all designing prototypes that hold down the stator magnets 360 degrees minus the one that is up.... in torbay's design he only used a half circle as a cap. (probably curved on both sides and dipping down in the middle) is it possable that we still have something wrong? or is it just a differece in designs between his wooden (weels to lift stator magnets) and his metal one.

i will begin by replicating his wooden one and i have already begun today. only have one question here. i will be using the following rotor design could you take a look and let me know if you think it will work to begin with as i do not have a disk magnet.

thanks danny

ps would bending a piece of metal (magnetically atracted) across the front of the three magnets help "smooth" out the magnetic field? would it help any?

Hi Tao,
now I had finally again access to my PC and have downloaded the animation.
It is really great and I will soon convert them to a smaller size and Codecs,
so many more people can have a look at it.
Maybe you can make another version, where the lid-cap is transparent, so
one could see the inner rotor magnet ? That would be very nice and
this way one would understand the motor much better, if one could also
see the red-blue polarisation of the rotor disc magnet.

Looking forward to this and your new other files.

Many thanks, Stefan.

jaybird, as you know, I think it?s a good idea to replicate one of Torbay?s original constructions, so I?m encouraging you greatly. What have you decided these pictures show? Is more than one stator magnet lifted at any moment with this semi-circled rotor? Will you be using three (four) separate rectangular magnets or one magnetized through the diameter annulus (recall, calculations which tao and Stefan made showed that magnetized cylinder or toroid yields the greatest torque)? Tell us more about the lifting mechanism ? will the stator magnets be beveled? Also, is the lifting and descending going to be symmetric ? is the time it takes to lift the magnet going to be equal to the time to lower it?

Called out to work again? :o .. Omnibus, will get back to you ...soon as I get back... with my ideas.

(1)? (1/2) ring magnet (rotor)
(2) The "Cap" or "Descenso Controlado" is 1/2 Diameter also, and allows only 1 arm up fully and 1 arm STARTING up ... the Arms are positioned BELOW the "invisible Mid-Line" of the rotor? (as I was talking about in beggining) which repels AND keeps them in a DOWN position...only the Rolling Magnet Wheel pushes the Arms UP...the Cap pushes only CONTROLS or makes sure of the timing... once the rotor half is past, the arms fall on their own, perhaps even pushing (or adding) to the total push of the system.
(3) Stator magnets on my replication will not be beveled, but it would probably help
(4) The "area" or spot of the cap that allows for the arms lifted part will only be same area as 2 X (times) the width of whatever sized magnets you use for the stators.


Note: the ANGLE of the stator Arms is very important...so is the fulcrum distance...I believe we are after "Shearing" forces, laterally: Right Angle Shear

Anyway, will be back tonite with drawings...

Til later,

Quoting Lynxis, from another thread:

Seems the simple "tidder todder" device being shown in various documents would
be the very easiest to attempt understanding and building"...

and if It can be proven to work... then one could develop this further to
produce motive force to drive a wheel.

There are some experimental setups that one should probably do as described
to understand the priniciples -- and then on to the perpetual version of that
tidder todder. (which is my nickname for that contraption)...
But that darn tidder-todder (if it can be made to work) // would actually be a form
of perpetual-pendulum...

 The Gary Magnet motor is what I WAS replicating when I came across this very thread...I believe the same forces are in play here, or are very related... I guess time will tell.

 And , I am still going to finish my Gary rep also...

Many thanks for the new video. Looks nice !
This is better now, but one can not see, why the stators
are lifted.
Maybe you can also render the same movie with a top view,
so one can see it from above ?

But maybe it is still better, when you use for the
lipcap a tranparent surface mapping, so one could
see through it ?
Also it would be good, if you would maybe advance the
timing by 10 deegrees, so the stators go up a bit before the
north-south-zonechange of the rotor disc magnet ?

ok my first replication failed!

warning remember to create a prototype that you can adjust! don't use glue to hold your elevating arms or rotor magnets down. create a system for adjustment on each.

my problem is not the design but in the manufacturing. as follows:

I placed my elevating arms to far from the rotor and got no reaction from the rotor
i placed the rotor magnets to close to the "weel arm?" (<---- needs a name)

a track drilled through the rotor (in this case i used a hard drive disk) to allow the magnet to be attached and adjusted would have helped. simply attach a bead of epoxy to the bottom of the magnet trim to fit in track and dril small hole in epoxy. use a screw (into the epoxy hole) and tighten down to disk.

same for the arms. drill track into base so that a screw from the bottom into the elevating arm can tighten and loosen the arm allowing adjustment.

i strongly recomend this in all your prototypes! i will have to break my magnets free now and start all over! do not get to hasty as i did, this is how mistakes are made :) duh! :) .

Thanks, Stefan. That?s really great. Of course, thanks again, tao.

Now on more practical side, how exactly did you calculate the torque with the FEMM? How do you choose the contour to integrate? Take, for instance, tao?s schematic magmotor18.ans. What I do is first choose to operate on segments and then click clockwise on the four nodes of the rotor. Thus, I obtain ?7.51314 N m, for the torque from the stress tensor. Is this the value you get as well?

let me know how your protype goes. I do not agree with your theory (just cause it directly conflicts with mine :) ?) but that does not mean your wrong .

I believe that there is a lot of upwards pressure on the stator magnets. ill explain.

the down stator magnets must be directly even with the rotor magnet to work (angled should be fine but not below the midline) the up stator magnet must rise above the rotor magnet and at least mostly out of the magnetic feild of the rotor magnet(s). the magnetic field of the stator magnets to the sides push against the magnets between them. since it can not move down (do to the base being there) to get out of the way it will attempt to move up. this is where the cap comes in holding it down untill it is it's turn to move up. not only are the magnets to the side of each magnet applying inword pressure on each magnet but the rotor magnet is also aplying pressure as well. if the stator magnet were angled downwards then the forces all around it would slow the rotor and decrease over all power to the device. this is due to the downward pressure created by the rotor magnet being above the end of the stator magnet and side magnets pressuring against the sides as the weel of the rotor attemptes to raise it. the over all performance would also be effected by the difficulty that the rotor cap would have in pushing the stator magnet down past the rotor magnet level. also by using only half of a disk magnet (not sure of this) but arent you setting the rotor off balance (in terms of weight)? and also if you cut a magnet in half dont the poles re adjust? (image provided)

in short the arms will have to pass the midline of the rotor magnets wich if the rotor has to do this it will drag the rpms and torque down dramatically.
not to mention getting them down again will not happen without force. the arms will not just fall down past the rotors midline...

if the north end of the stator magnets is below the north end of the rotor magnet then you are robbing the device of efficiency. the point of strongest repulsion/attraction is at the midline. not only would the stator magnets be below the midline of the rotor but the top of the magnet would be the surface interacting with the rotor (pushing up)

in torbays original weel design i think the weels job is not to lift the stator magnet, but simply to knock it out of the feild. the slightest nudge should give the feild all it needs. the inward pressure of all the surrounding magnets should push it the rest of the way up. ?the cap brings it down to just the right level so as not to push it below the magnetic curve of the rotor magnet.

i think that the magnet polarised through its diameter (in full) will help releave a lot of the pressure on the rotor cap. thus allowing it to produce more rpms and torque.

i may (and probably am) missunderstanding just what you intend. perhaps you can explain your theory in more depth.

if i have gotten your plan wrong i am sorry.

OK, I gather you mean your simple_magnet_motor_drawing.jpg. As far as I understand you?re replicating the bevel variant with the wheel attached to the rotor. The motor cap, as far as I can see, allows faster lifting of the stator magnet than its descending. I kind of agree with that. Shouldn?t you have more than 4 stator magnets, though? It?s interesting to make a FEMM simulation with your four-stator scheme to see if it?d have enough torque.

the beauty of this device tao is you dont have to be a machinist to make it! the end model would have to done pro but not the beginning models. use a vice, hammer and blow torch to make the bends you need and a good stiff peice of metal. i used wood as a base and hardrive disk as rotor even kept the motor on it as the bearing and just screwed it down to the wood. used glue to fasten the magnets down and was mostly done. (dont use the glue though it sucks if you make a mistake in placement on the rotor!) :) i hope this helps you save a little money and effort. :)

Tao,

Aluminium is very easy to work with. That is what I am using for my design. I use a wood band saw to cut 3/8" plate. Just have to cut slow. It is also easy to drill and tap. I think you should try to find a local machine shop in your area. They will have tons of scrap pieces that may be usefull. They might even give it to you. Small pieces are pretty useless to them.


Nastrand2000,

I am a little concerned about your statment about keeping it at least 1/2" from rotor mags. Why is this?

eddy currents created within the aluminum will significantly reduce to the rotational aspects of the motor....not to say that it will stop the motor, just that it can reduce a motors rpm expodentially.

torbay used cerarmic magnets(as far as i can tell...tho he does mention nefe) in his motor....ceramic magnet cast a much smaller field and would be less effected by eddy currents until they are closer to the aluminum (inverse-square law) tho it may be affecting the overall efficiency of his motor as well. I'm not trying hender the replications of this motor, I'm trying to help make this work.  :)

i think the aluminum is a good choice for prototypes but i agree with you jason that the final product should be of the currect materials all things considered. (assuming that your right about aluminum reacting with magnets. i wouldnt know about that.) im using a hard drive disk as my rotor anyone know what they are made of and the reaction to magnets? obviously there is some reaction since harddrives are magnetic storage devices.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: tjanzer on April 08, 2006, 06:04:04 AM
Tao,

This is good to hear. I was starting to get a bit depressed. Most of my work is with aluminium.

OK, I didn't want to say too much about my motor until it was complete or working but I would like some input from you. Since you have done quite a few simulations and femms, can you please give me a recommendation on what you think would be best for the rotor.

Let me explain.

The attached picture is of my stator magnets. I am sort of reverse engineering it since I am building it with what I have in stock or available and then drawing them in ACAD. The red area is 1/2" diameter neomag in an aluminium sleeve. There is a steel rod that is inserted into the sleeve and on the opposite side is another aluminium sleeve that will be used as the pivot point. This point is adjustable along the rod. Hopefully I will have the stators mounted tomorrow. I am using 13 stators since thats how many it took to to give me about a 3 1/2" inside diameter. Also sounded like a lucky number.

For the rotor, I will use Teflon or what most of us call, a kitchen cutting board.(P.S., Don't tell Danny, his mother-in-law will kill him). I will cut two 3 1/2" circles to get double the thickness. I have some 1 X 1/2 X 1/8 neo mags to use for the rotor. I will groove the Teflon so that I can wedge the neos between the two pieces.

What I want to ask you is, do you think I should use 2 or 3 mags? Also, since you are looking into a ring for the rotor, would it be beneficial to also place 2 or 3 mags on the opposite side of the rotor in attraction?

i say three (and she can't kill me if we don't tell her) and i would say yes to the attracting mags on the other side to releive stress from the system just keep in mind that your trading magnetic stress for physical stress on the bearing so you may want to double up on your rotor bearings.

No, it does not work in the way shown on the video (animation). See, when the magnet with an opposite poles comes together the stator magnets will be lifted up and will STAY in this position (not fall as shown) till magnets change polarity. And opposit poles will keep the rotor dead.
Sorry to say but 'PMM Argentina' works in other way (field commutation).

sorry light but i didn't understand what you were saying (could just be me) could you be more descriptive please. when do the magnets (and what magnets rotor or stator?) come into contact with oposite sides? and oposite sides attract so why would the stator be pushed up by an oposing pole? and what magnets change polarity? you mean when the rotor rotates around to the other side? and i agree opposite poles in magority would kill the device.

Quoting Lynxis, from another thread:

Seems the simple "tidder todder" device being shown in various documents would
be the very easiest to attempt understanding and building"...

and if It can be proven to work... then one could develop this further to
produce motive force to drive a wheel.

There are some experimental setups that one should probably do as described
to understand the priniciples -- and then on to the perpetual version of that
tidder todder. (which is my nickname for that contraption)...
But that darn tidder-todder (if it can be made to work) // would actually be a form
of perpetual-pendulum...

 The Gary Magnet motor is what I WAS replicating when I came across this very thread...I believe the same forces are in play here, or are very related... I guess time will tell.

 And , I am still going to finish my Gary rep also...

PS: Keep up the GREAT work Tao! and thank yous go out to everyone working on this, and Stefan also for the bandwidth and website...

Would very much like to know if you have success with the GAry motor, in particular,
the tidder-todder...

Hi All.
here is a picture without any rotor magnet inside the stators,
so you can see that the stator ring with one stator removed
has a field almost like a bar magnet, at least at the opening !
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on April 08, 2006, 07:10:30 PM
Here is a simulation picture that shows,
that you can also use one bar magnet as the rotor
to have enough torque to use this as the rotor !
But the best position would be straight 90 deegrees to the stator opening
and not 45 degrees as are shown here in the picture.

So instead using a disc magnet you can also use
for a simpler prototype just a bar magnet which is
prolarized through its diameter !

"Excuse me, but you are mistaken Light. The animation shows Torbay's exact principle of operation".
- Maybe I do, but as it shown it will not work. You will see it on your model soon (I'm wondering where can you find this fancy magnet for Rotor, centerpiece) - one side of Rotor will lift up one side of stator's magnets, while another one will keep the Rotor attracted. Something else has to be there...
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: orionjf on April 08, 2006, 07:36:46 PM
I?d just tested a initial (no functional yet) model and there are some important issues. I built a basic model in order to test torque and ?functional concepts given by simulations. I used a NdFeB magnet (cubic shape) as rotor and ferrites as stator magnets. The reason: to use an "asymetrical" configuration therefore force (torque) between rotor-stator will be "large" but force to push down stator would be "small". Then:
1.- A strong demagnetization proccess is observed. Some stator magnets even changes the poles after a repulsion status for a few seconds. Then, this confirm advices from tao and treb79 about ferrites or fe based magnets. Degaussing is not observed with all NdFeB magnets (yet)
2.- The core functionality works according to expected results (more or less). The strong torque is done when rotor is just in front of last magnet before gap, according to sim. ?and the best time for pushing down the stator (less force) is when rotor has passed the center of his down position (a little bit delay), then I guest could be a "net" torque in a very short space of time. Syncronims will be very important. (All tested "by hands" step by step and locking the rotor)
3.- "Attracting mode" requires springs for lifting the "passed" stators. I think is better repulsion mode if degaussing proccess is not important. Has Anybody got data about degaussing proccess for NdFeB magnets that are stressed in a permanent repulsion mode? Maybe, if the device finally works, the net energy extracted could has any kind of proportion with the energy of the degaussing cycle!!!
All parts are PVC except the rotor axis and its support but the main areas of these metal parts are not orthogonal to the fields. I still advice about metal areas with an "orthogonal view" of fields.
This is not a working device yet. It?s only for measuring forces and behaviour observations. Next steps: all NdFeB magnets, bar for rotor and complete the cap ...
I hope it will help ...
Regards
PD. I will post pictures in a few minutes.

Here is a simulation picture that still shows
1.4 Newtonmeter torque with this design
just using a neodym bar magnet as the stator,
so this should be the easiest design so far.

Here, my test model pictures. I think it is a simple, and useful for testing purposes (rotor shape, magnets, caps, etc). It?s easy to build in a few hours.
Stators are PVC cylinders with ferrites (don?t use ferrites because degaussing is guarantee!!!!!!).
The rotor has a NdFeB magnet. I?m sorry if any picture is not very well focused. I think it is more important to know results as soon as possible.

mine works but wuickly stopped (probably degaused becuase now the magnets i used are not near as strong as they were before.

can somebody tell me what kind of magnets it is that i used....... (ceramic, ferit, neodim. etc)

i used magnets obtained from harddrives, easily broken into sharp shards and are light grey on the inside (ceramic??)

the bar magnets i used i obtained from old dicount stor signs, where mounted to the bottom so that the sign would stick to the cloths rack.... they are dark grey almost black inside and out and are not so easy to break but a good toss across the room will do it. they are hard remind me of a chalkboard.  their magnetic attraction is ok about half an inch from each other and you start to notice the pull if held in your hands.


what magnets are these? is this why it becomes degaused so quickly? what kinds of devices would i find these other magnets neodims and such in so that i can find some and extract them. (as i have said my budjet is limited so i am trying to create a model that requires no financing. for.... scietific reasons of course!...... yeah......uh...... ok ill shut up now)

Post by: hartiberlin on April 08, 2006, 08:52:27 PM
Here is the same simulation as the last one,
except the rotor bar magnet is half as long
and it confirms Tao?s information, that this
has only half the torque, instead of 1.4 Nm
only 0.7 Newtonmeter !
So Tao is right, that the other pole helps to
double the torque.

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Jdo300 on April 08, 2006, 08:52:55 PM
Hi Everyone,

Here are a few notes concerning the demagnetization of magnets. The way to reduce the effect is to simply not force the magnets too close to each other. If you check the BH curves for most materials, it shows the critical field strength for which the magnet will start to weaken. The reason NEO magnets hold their strength so well is because the BH curve is linear for the most part whereas materials like Ceramic and Alnico have non-linear curves. In the case of the Torbay motor, since we want the magnets to be close to get the most repulsive effect, I suggest that we just go with Neos for the stator and rotor, and also try to use the same sized Neos in both the stators and rotors so that they will be evenly matched magnetically. But if you do use a bar magnet like in Stefan?s simulations, it could greatly improve the demagnetization problem because the north pole attracting to the stators can actually remagnetize the magnets over time.

God Bless,
Jason O

P.S. Stefan, I also noted that the strongest force was when the gap was at 90 degrees to the rotor magnet.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: hartiberlin on April 08, 2006, 09:03:09 PM
Hi Jason, I agree totally, don?t use for the first prototype
to close distances between stator and rotor magnets,
I guess the distance should be at least 5mm and it will
have a positive effect, if you use a long bar magnet as shown
in my second last simulation picture, which attracts the one side of the magnets,
so attraction and repellation comes after each other again and again.
This will not weaken the magnets too soon !

Also it might be, as Neodym magnets are conductive,
that these will have eddy currents inside them which might
make them weaker, but this has to be tested.
Maybe the first rebuilders could test, if the magnets get
warm during operation of the motor ?
If they will get warm, this is a sign of eddy currents
inside the magnets and then only nonconductive magnets will
work... But I guess for now Neodym magnets will
be okay for the first prototypes as they also can be got pretty cheaply
these days via Ebay.

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: Jdo300 on April 08, 2006, 09:04:15 PM
Hi Silverdragonrs,

Based on your description, it appears that the black magnets you were using were weak ferrites. Most hard drive magnets nowadays are Neos so I'm guessing that?s what you had. And yes it would be expected that a neo (even a small one) can instantly kill any thin ferrite magnets (especially ones thin like refrigerator ones). You can find some more Neos from old hard drives and also online for cheap if you get small ones. If you can't find any Neos, I would suggest using ceramic block magnets like they carry at RadioShack. Just make sure that you use the same kind/size mags in both the stator and rotor so they won't demagnetize each other as fast. But refrigerator magnets are a big no no, they will die almost instantly in the presence of a neo.

God Bless,
Jason O

a large factory just redid the computers and i got all of their old ones (ever heard of airborne express shipping?) i now have well over 500 harddrives that are useless. i had a fealing about them so i kept them all...... im a packrat... so yeah i have plenty of neos... averaging two to four per harddrive. so yeah ill have between 1000 and 1500 neos available... the hard part is the hand cramp taking them all apart... and the magnets are usually glued down so removal (without breaking the magnet) is averaging around 80% success rate.

if anyone needs a few i would be glad to share... (but you got to pay shipping as i have 35 cents to my name)

thanks

Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: orionjf on April 08, 2006, 09:27:30 PM
Then we have the first issues:
- NdFeB magnets only
- Distant between rotor and stator as a important design parameter.
- Different magnetization power between rotor and stator.
The last issue is a problem: if you have similar rotor and stator magnets, the work you need to push down stators looks like similar to torque (experiments seem to confirm it). If different (rotor bar for instance), we would have a "better net torque" (simulations and experiments confirm it) but a potential demagnetization proccess can be done. I think it is very important to model demagnetization versus field stress.
PD. A "better net torque" doesn?t mean a positive net torque that means the device works. It is not confirmed yet.

- Different magnetization power between rotor and stator.
The last issue is a problem: if you have similar rotor and stator magnets, the work you need to push down stators looks like similar to torque (experiments seem to confirm it). If different (rotor bar for instance), we would have a "better net torque" (simulations and experiments confirm it) but a potential demagnetization proccess can be done. I think it is very important to model demagnetization versus field stress.
PD. A "better net torque" doesn?t mean a positive net torque that means the device works. It is not confirmed yet.

If you know what kind of neo or ceramic magnets you have, you can look up the demagnetization information on any magnet manufacturer's website. Thats what I was mentioning earlier concerning BH curves. Also, if demagnetization becomes a big issue later, then it may be better to simply run the motor in attraction mode.

I believe that the force required to push the lifted magnet back into the stator ring will be quite high. Therefore, some kind of spring to aid in pushing the stator magnet back down again may be beneficial. If the spring restoring force is somewhat equal to the force  pushing the stator magnet back out of the ring, the motor will be more efficient. Although matching the spring force to the repulsive force of the stator magnets will be difficult.
Title: Re: Magnet motor in Argentina
Post by: treb79 on April 08, 2006, 10:27:47 PM
Actually matching spring to repulsion force of the magnet is probably extremely difficult because both forces are nonlinear and are switched, that is, the spring pushing the lifted stator magnet back in is at maximum extension( weakest force) when the lifted stator magnet is almost back in position(maximum repulsion)

I think it's safe to say though that Torbay has DONE IT, all those newsparper articles and TV recording and eyewitnesses, so all we need worry about is how exactly to replicate his design. Wink

Oh, has a video of his motor been found then? Does someone have a functioning link for it?

ok i believe that you could be right. however i am only concerned with building a working motor at this point and improving on that motor after replication is complete. we have already talked about the possablility of needing a spring and most of us have chosen not to use it in prototypes. continued effort to improve the device is needed and always will be but one step at a time :)

anywho, my wife is having contractions so i am headed to the hospital in a minute. will be back in a few hours to check on the thread. good luck with all ?your replications! :)

Hi Danny,

Actually, having magnets stuck together in attraction is good for them and will help to preserve the field strength. That is why most horseshoe magnets come with a metal keeper bar across the legs to keep it from demagnetizing.

@Tao

What 3D simulation software are you using? I have Maxwell3D but am also looking for other packages to compare results with.

One more thing, to everyone, the idea of degaussing the magnets isn't really that much of an issue as long as you use matched magnets for the stators and rotor like ceramic 5s, ceramic 8s, NdFeb magnets. They are quite prone to not degauss. Look at Bedini's clarifier device, it has two ceramic magnets glued together in a repulsion S<->S and they don't degauss themselves, because they have LIKE fields.

Anyway, good work.

Tao


Yes, but the problem is when magnets have not got an EQUIVALENT magnetization (rotor-stator) and this is the case, and the best case to avoid an strong resistance to push down each stator. As large is the difference between rotor-stator magnetization as large is the net torque you have to push down each stator. The problem with FEMM is to simulate z components (this case). You can use other point of view of magnets (stator and rotor) to view it or test it with a simple experiment. If stator magnets are similar to rotor the force observed is very very strong and even "moves" the rotor when the stator is forced by hand, that is, it is greater than torque in rotor and in this case the devices will not work or... there is a special parameter combination to avoid it: distance between stators, between rotor-stator, etc.

Springs can help to push down, indeed I thought so before, but then we will have another problem to lift stators before rotor reaches it. Due to no linear model, maybe it is possible to use a different behaviour for lifting and pushing ... There is a very nice diferential equation to solve or so many test to do ... but it is the science challenge  :D

Best wishes to Silverdragonrs  :-X. Good luck.

Yes, it might work, if in a Rotor we'll have one magnet (for start) with repulsion polarity with the Stator' magnets and pushing guide in the front of it, which will lift up one Stator's magnet and create disballance of forces. Rotor moves because of this disballans and pushing up another Stator's magnet and so on...

'...just as you described Torbay has already done'.
-Tao, how sure you are? The magnetic field is a 3Dimensional. When Stator's magnet goes up something has to put it down in the row, after Rotor passed by. And it needs an energy to do it. At least in my Stator magnets pops out from the row, and I need to do something to put it down.

The actual question is,after all the newspaper articles,when
will be the coming-out of Walter Torbay ?
We can read:- the transgenerator" could" reach 2,5 KW-
under which conditions ?
Is this the nominal power of prototype II ?
Is the 2,5 KW Transgenerator the 150$ device ?
Is the kinetic2electricity transformer included ?
Why is the inventor in a "passive" stadium ?

Hello All,

Not to detract from the current discussion but what is the status of us tracking down and getting in contact with Walter Torbay? Have any of the many media publishers responded to anyone here with any usable contact information? What about the technical school he was working at?? It seems like there are so many sources to check that it doesn't make sense that nobody has made contact with him yet... It would make this replication effort tons easier if we could focus our efforts on contacting him. At least we know that he would be willing to help us build one if we could simply track him down.

Perhaps we could start a separate thread dedicated to the task. If anyone can post whatever information they have found (be it good or bad) at least we will be able to exhaust the idea and conclude that we can or cannot find him.

God Bless,

hey everyone contractions were as i thaught just a dud no baby yet :( this is my seventh tao :) can't wait.

to answer a question posted.. about when is torbay's coming out party.... NEVER

if any such device was to be published then the public would demand mass production. mass production would lead to the fall of several of the largest businesses in the world.

electric companies every place would be no competition and would fall
gas companies (same)
many car companies would fall do to their lack of ability to adapt. large companies would try to use the motors in their cars and those cars would take over the market leaving the little guy to drown

contries would fall (contries like aran are 100% dependant on fossil fuel sales because they have no other rescources the world market wants)

the world would not end. people driving the magnetic car would be happy and their homes would be powered. but at what cost? the USA already has a gross unemployment rate. just emagine the millions of layoffs from ford motor company as the magnetic motor and its simple settup replaced the thousands of assembly jobs around the world not to mention the companies that created those parts.

the fall of such a large giant (and there would be many more than just one) would affect every job and every person directly in an unpleasant way.

i believe that as long as these devices remain to the select few able to understand them and build them then the economy will be fine. its just a question of "at what point do we draw the line"

in other words if you live in the US then you will likely never hear of any successful free energy devices or replications unless you find it online where your voice is trully free.

the government is not the bad guy here it is the good guy. it would be nice if we all lived in a world that rotated on improvement and moving forward but we do not. we live in a world of balances.

these are the reasons that comunities such as this forum are here. it is the voice of inventors and idealists that wish to share their achievements with others that are interested in the same things.

im sorry i got a little carried away in that......... will move on to a new post now :)

jdo - i do not believe he is reachable any longer. he has probably had all the scepticism he can handle and as he has posted on another board he is not interested in proving his device only in sharing knowledge with the world. (not word for word)

i sent him an email four days ago stating that i had created a replica of his magnetic motor and had a few design changes i wanted to run past him........ no reply.... yet




i was just thinking about the skeptics in this very forum who say they will not believe it works untill they hear one of us replicate it......

there was an individual who posted in this thread who stated that they had seen taken apart and held the device and saw it running.

the skeptics still argued with that....

so if i come in there next week and say i did it! i replicated it! then they will likely be skeptical of that...... right?....

well i am tired of talking about if it works or not there is only one way to find out.... build it.

i entend to do just that (after some sleep! :) )

Post by: Feb2006 on April 09, 2006, 11:37:14 AM
You are right, it takes energy to put the stator back down, but, that stator in Torbay's design goes down BEFORE the rotor magnets get to it...not after

This means that the 3 rotor magnets never reach that GAP point that is made by the lifted stator, for as they approach that stator that is lifted, it is brought down before they reach AND at the same time the next stator in line is lifted, so now the rotor wants to move to that NEW GAP point, and the process continues.

So the question of energy is if the rotor's force it uses to reach that GAP is greater than the force needed to lower that stator. And, it is...

Tao

Stator in Torbay's design goes down WHILE the rotor magnets get to it...not before or after.

And think little on the angels (alpha) on stator magnets, and (beta) on rotor magnets.
That Torbay mention in the operation principles they are important to the function of the device.

I have not seen any angles of the right kind in your femm files.

I don?t think your idea with a diametrical ring magnet will work.
All that you have shown is some femm sim at one angel.
When you do a full 360 degree 3D femm sim then maybe.
And when you show a working prototype and been in papers
and people verify you then I believe (like I do Torbay).
And when I have seen it I know.

We will know better when they get the patent tomorrow I hope.

I don?t think your idea with a diametrical ring magnet will work. - why not (sont just give an oppinion. give us evidence why so that your theory can be looked into.

All that you have shown is some femm sim at one angel. - from all i have seen in femm. it only does one 2d

When you do a full 360 degree 3D femm sim then maybe. - femm cannot do 3d sims and you can't expect everyone else to do your homework for you. :)

And when you show a working prototype and been in papers - local news paper may or may not print this story. but on a national level it will never happen!

and people verify you then I believe (like I do Torbay). - do you believe in torbay's design? and i agree the best way to prove it is through eyewitness...... but even then people will only say it was staged

And when I have seen it I know. - you gonna come over to my house in ohio to see it? (once it is done?)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

only when we stop bickering and talking about "if" it works and so on will we replicate this (or any other) device. is there any way that we can reduce the noise in this thread to possative posting? people are trying to accomplish something here. i for one have asked several "real" questions and have not been answered because of these tangents and issues of validacy.

i again ask if anyone more familiar with the femm program and how it works can run a sim showing the set of neos that i have found and am using in a vertical possition attop the stator arms. (see the last couple of pages for details and demensions) i would greatly appreacheate it even if i can't spell it.

Dragan Kovac,a citizen who lives(probably) in Germany,
has an invention,publicated in patent form as DE10320109/WO2004100349.
He describes an arrangement,with bulbs.

The use of bulbs are often the reference for proof-of-concept tests by many OU-Inventors for example Moray,Lutec(actually) and more !

Mister Kovac used 200W/230V bulbs.

He lists as example(in connection):
 1bulb? ?total consume 0,9 AMP
 5bulbs? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 0,36? ? ? =82W
10bulbs? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?0,26? ? ? = 58W
20bulbs? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?0,2? ? ? ? =45W
30bulbs? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?0,18? ? ? =41W
up to 50 bulbs.

Test-result:more bulbs-use less AMPere-consume !!!

Post by: orionjf on April 10, 2006, 06:18:28 AM
Hi everybody,
The first real test I did is not good enough. Actually, it is bad ?:'(. But I am happy because I have tested important issues and I learnt something about this.
The push down force is too strong. If I change the push point for decreasing this force, the torque available to do it at this time decreases too ???? I think use only one rotor and one magnet can be useful for measuring but not for working (I didn?t test rotors with bar or cylinder with diameter magnetization and I can?t do it before 2 or 3 weeks due to magnets delivery time).
But, at the other hand, due to experiments, I see new possibilities and, maybe, explanations about the original device. For instance:
- It?s critical the point to push down the stator. Probably is one of the keys for success (if it do). Simulation seems to conclude that this point is between the last magnet before gap and before the stator magnet reaches the middle of the stator that is pushing.down and the real model confirm it. Then, the best case will be that maximum of torque will be done at minimum of pushing force. This is impossible with one magnet only in the rotor but ? not impossible with two or three magnets in the rotor. This can be like an oscillator and requires a very good syncronism to reach this ?resonance? freq. alternating maximum torque with minimum pushing force. If we using another magnet for lifting (I think, it is not necessary probably), we have THREE magnets in the rotor. Anybody does sound like something?
- We are mixing forces, torques, works ? but each one has to consider in particular cases and then to compare similar magnitudes. For instance, the main issue, that is the push down force. This force, applied in ?vertical? has the same direction of stator movement, that is, the work is F*H (H is the height of lifted stator from the initial position). This force is applied by a ?cap? with a ramp with angle alpha, for instance. If the ramp is smooth (alpha small) Fr (Force against ramp) is small but the ramp length L is large therefore F*H=Fr*L and you don?t have a lot of space for pushing down because of torque losses in the next step. In the other hand, a sharp and short ramp needs a large Fr that brakes the rotor. There will be an optimal ratio between torque and ramp shape, and between them and the point for pushing down. Too complicated if ?papers? are used only. Probably test model can help for tuning.
- When an stator is lifted, there is a "violent" movement with a very clear energy that we don?t use. If this energy could be stored (by springs, for instance) and reused to push down, it will be great. If springs, it requires a perfect syncronism for timming the "stator bounced" just into push down point. (Its a very "nice" diferential equation to solve in paper).
I?m afraid my first prototype is too rough for these tests and tuning and I have to rebuild it. I recommend to build prototypes (only with a few stators and one rotor is enough) and play with all issues. I hope somebody can make progress in any direction. We have to be optimistic because, in any case, there is always something to learn.
Regards.

Post by: maxwellsdemon on April 10, 2006, 10:39:13 AM
The 'kick' up should be equal in force to the resistance to pushing down- if you're only looking at the stator magnets interacting with each other.
A well-designed spring system would even this out so you only need a little nudge to knock a magnet out and another little nudge to knock it back in.

But- if you look at the interaction of the stator magnets with the rotor, because the rotor has moved, it is resisting the stator magnet's return more strongly
than it was assisting its elevation.
  You will find that the amount by which those two forces differ is the same as the forward force on the rotor.

I'm not saying to take my word for it- by all means build your models and do the tests...

I have seen the FEMM sims posted here but none of them are legitimate, because they are only calculating one force- the rotor being pushed toward the gap.
This is not the only force at work, and without simulating the forces on all moving parts over a whole cycle, a torque calculation is meaningless.
This might be possible with Maxwell 3D, but not with FEMM.

It's possible to make just about anything look like a perpetual motion machine in your head if you just ignore half of the forces at work...

Post by: treb79 on April 10, 2006, 11:59:35 AM
Yes, a well designed spring system, Although as I stated earlier, when the spring pushing the stator magnet back in is at maximum extension(weakest force), the repulsion force of the stator magnet is greatest. Two oposite nonlinear forces. The only way would be a complex system of linkages to modify the  force of the springs to somewhat match the force curve of the stator magnets. A difficult undertaking. Good luck.

? You will find that the amount by which those two forces differ is the same as the forward force on the rotor.
That?s right. It was happen in my model. Also I agree that the main issue is the "recover" cycle that has two actions: lifting (no problem and a very small interaction with rotor) and pushing down (all problems). This cycle involves z component mainly, that is just not calculate by FEMM, unless we simulate z-x plane and z-y plane separated. The "torque cycle" has not problems and works: holding by hands the rotor and stators in the ideal point, the torque is good. The problem is to recover this ideal point ... by itself.
I agree treb79 too talking about springs. I guess it is more important timming, even if you recover only a portion of energy due to non-linear behaviour, losses, etc, but recover at time. If you recover all but not in time I think it will be worst.

Maybe, there is another thing that can help. If you see original model pictures, the stator case is so long (I think ..), that is, the distance between its axis (rotation up-down) and the face in front of rotor. I built a shorter (compared) stator (see my pictures) and I think it is wrong (my model). As long as the stator less force you need to push down due to it is multiplied by stator lenght for getting the same work. There is a very easy test pushing down stator by hand at differents point of pressure (different distances). But long stator implies higher distance to lift and down because the work is the same. The limit, from my point of view, is timming again: we can reduce the force to push down (with the same work) but there is a time to do it useful that limits the distance that stator has to cover and then, the stator lenght. Another parameter to cook ... and another parameter that goes round timming. It seems if a timming is given all design parameters are fixed...Only one asyncronous parameter could stop the device.

Post by: orionjf on April 10, 2006, 02:42:56 PM
I start to think about "a little bit of help" from outside for working properly. A little bit energy to force timming (more important than the order of magnitude of the energy applied that can need the device). It is not "bad" if this energy is less than the device can provide using this help.....

All simulations are welcome and can help to understand the device. I really appreciate Tao work and every idea or suggestion from everybody. Only to do nothing is not good.

There is always more than one stator magnet down in the gap,
so it is easy to lift the old one up.
If you want to lift the old stator magnet the next
one is already half way down, so it requires less force to lift
the old up.
So all in all the lifting back into the stator circle requires
less energy than you get from the rotor magnet torque.

I will show this in a few FEMM simulations soon.

So all the skeptics have not yet understood the motor concept.

There is always more than one stator magnet down in the gap,
so it is easy to lift the old one up.
If you want to lift the old stator magnet the next
one is already half way down, so it requires less force to lift
the old up.

If I may add to what Stefan is saying, if you can imagine a stator ring with 10 magnets in it, if they all have the north poles facing in, then naturally if you rotate one of them up out of the ring, the repulsive force from all the other magnets will want to force it out; and naturally, it would be hard to reset the single magnet back into the ring. It's like releasing a compressed spring and then trying to push it back again. But if we go with the idea Stefan is presenting, then imagine not one but maybe three stator magnets lifting at a time in a sort of wave fashion, where the middle magnet of the three would be lifted the highest (crest of the wave) while the two on either side of it would be half-lifted up, that way the total repulsive force is divided between the three magnets instead of just one.

Could someone who has tested the design tell me how far the magnet needs to be lifted to create the imbalance? Do the magnets have to be lifted one magnet length above/below the ring, or is just a slight deviation enough to cause rotation?

God Bless,

Tao, in my simple tests, I?d always found a resistance to push down a stator even with the next stators (3 or more) lifted if rotor is close to it. And more, the resistance is not a relevant function of close stators (almost irrelevant) but there is a strong dependence of rotor position. (it?s different for lifting). The rotor position is the first and more important resistance for pushing down the stator (it is what I observed). Then, consider the MAX-POINT when the rotor is just in front of the stator that is lowering. At MAX-POINT if stator is lowering (forcing it by hand in a "static" analysis), torque is very strong (even "violent", capable to do a completed turn alone if you released it with stators lifted). This is the max of torque that you have to get in simulations too. At this point, resistance has a maximum too, and the friction (in my model, a rough model without wheels in stators so far) brakes the stator. Then consider a little change from this point:
- Stator before this point, the resistance decreases but torque decreases too much because you are putting a stator lowered "before" the rotor. (Check your sims)
- Stator after this point, the resistance decreases, torque is a little bit lower (both are better conditions) but rotor almost "escapes" to gap, then the cap ramp have to be built with a very accurate way and tuning it (my model is too rough to it).
In any case, I agree with you it is better to have 2 or even more stators lifted.
I think we have to take a special care for building some parts (that is I learnt working with the first model): reduce friction between cap and stators, cap ramp shape (if variable, better for tunning), stators length and, in any case, variable point for lifting and lowering. Even can be good to use a few stators for a more comfortable work until the device works in this area properly.
Regards.

in short for everyone else tuning in.... keep your "weel arm" (the arm that lifts you stator magnets up to create the gap)...... keep it adjustable so you can move it to the best location for fine tuning. a good starting point is v degrees (tao please fill in the *v*) from the center of the rotor magnets.

Hi.

Allthough this is my first message in the thread, I read ALL postings so I did do my homework.

I did think about the 3 lifted magnets: One going up, one up and one going down.
Does did not just bend the repelling ring, and not break it? If it only bends the ring, it is still a loop.

Eric.

Actually, you can simulate the whole thing in femm, forces on stator magnets and rotor by arranging the displaced stator magnets as in Torbays patent drawing, instead of lifting the stator magnet.

What would happen is, there would be 2-4 stators ALWAYS LIFTED at their maximum height wtih no other stators lifted, so the 'loop' is broken.

Then one of the stators would go down and one would come up to this maximum position, and it is at this time that there 'might' be a 'loop' situation, BUT what happens in a loop situation?? The rotor is TORQUE-LESS, BUT it isn't MOMENTUM-LESS! So the enormous torque on the rotor would easily guide it through IF there was a momentous 'loop' situation, which I don't think will occur.

OR (the prefered condition) etc. etc.


why don't you femm the whole thing as I suggested? Apart from building the thing and extensively testing different configurations, anything else is pure guess work.

actually, I don't see an awful lot of difference between sliding a stator magnet in and out as in Torbay's patent drawing(2d), and lifting a magnet up and down(3d).  :) just try it with some real magnets. or model a row of magnets in either configuration to see what the differences are, if any. That can be done in 2d.

This thing works better when the stator magnets are on hinges moving up and down rather than taking it out. It takes less force to push it up than to pull it out. I got a small prototype built with 1/8 sq. neos and it almost want's to work. I don't have the rotor cap made yet but when i push down on a magnet it makes it rotate like 30-45 degrees. I'm on the quest of getting a video camera so i can post video of it.

Great, at last, someone with some real results. Excellent.  :) Looking forward to see your video.

actually, it does take less effort to move the stator magnets up and down the same distance as if you were moving them in and out. But you  have to move them in and out a smaller distance to obtain the same effect on the rotor.  It can be modelled in 2d, just move out the stator magnets less than if you were moving them up and down.

You obviously can't model it in 3d, otherwise you would have done so. I'm suggesting modelling it with a program you evidently have and can use.

By the way, read my sentence again,

actually, it does take less effort to move the stator magnets up and down the same distance as if you were moving them in and out. But you  have to move them in and out a smaller distance to obtain the same effect on the rotor.  It can be modelled in 2d, just move out the stator magnets less than if you were moving them up and down.

the reason for the smaller movement required, you have alluded to yourself in the response before mine.

Sorry.. I'm still in the process of reading the entire thread.. 'just an idea that popped in my head...

That's great news that you've figured out how it works.. any replications yet? I guess I'll get to that part of thread, eventually... thanks.

not to push you tao but i am actually waiting on you to publish all your ideas and femm sims so i can descide on the best settup.... i have attempted to create a basic replica of the original but have failed due to lack of skill. creating the stator arms has prven to be dificult... while i am waiting on you however i am going to attempt to do as one other did (not sure who it was) and use round pvc piping as my stator arm w/ a notch cut out for the magnet to set in..... my biggest problem is creating the hinges/pins to allow movement. the materials i have available are not working with me here..... (i.e. got a jigsaw but no blades... got a drill but no chuck....) i already have my rotor setup and the base... got my magnets all picked out and mostly ready... (anyone know how to remove the aluminum coating from the neos ina  harddrive?. is it neccessary, i was thinking using a blowtorch but not sure if the heat would hurt the magnet...)

i wonder if we can all stop argueing over how this thing would work best and such.... just publish you ideas and if the reader agrees then they can try it... there is no need for "you should/need to/do this/for it to work.." kind of comments.... how about a civilized "i believe it works best this way" aproach to it..... we could all be wrong for all we know, and since there is no working replicas then nobody is an expert. every idea is a good one untill it has been tried and proven otherwise.... the ideas that i beleive have the most potential (due only to his openness with figures and details) is tao.... so please tao how about a "tao's figures and presentations on the torbay motor volume 1" so we can check it all out... if your not done then just put out volume two later..... :) come on..... (peer pressure sucks :)

thanks

ewebber - i did the same thing... only thing i can reccomend is read the whole thing then post (take notes on questions and ideas)........... i on the other hand crouded the thread with useless questions and ideas and then found the answers a few pages later down the thread... (still imbarrassed over that) see you at the end!

thanks
