Hi If anyone other than mfb would like to comment or ask a question, please feel free

Hi have been busy, in response to your reply on the video of the device i am lowering the power to it, not switching the power off. So there is always forward emf when the arms are rotating.

The purpose of the experiment was to show that momentum is transferred from the rotor to the body by the magnetic collision. On just this point alone I am sure that you will agree that from an attitude control application it would have certain advantages over a reaction wheel.

http://youtu.be/U5s0t_6fb3I Hi The link to the video is above, the video is unlisted so you do not need an account, any problems please contact. The effect seems a little dramatic but remember that the motor is being slowed so torque reaction is decreasing. The loose thread is to show that...

I have as yet not asked any specific questions for anyone to answer so 1 Assuming that the repelling magnetic fields cancel the torque reaction in the magnetic collision, torque reaction should still occur after the collision so the body should rotate in the opposite direction to the rotors...

The body is L shaped and made of wood it does not contain anything else other than the motor and body magnet Body magnet is rectangular in shape with north facing rotors Direction of rotation can be either way Tubes rotate so ends facing body magnet, tube magnets are north facing so are...

Hi appologies for any misunderstanding in the description. I am rotating four tubes by means of a 12v motor which is attatched to the body. The whole system is suspended from a single point. I do have a short video of the device in operation . "torque reaction present" means as the rotors...

Hi Have got a device that is puzzling to say the least. The device is suspended by a thread i.e. no interaction with the ground. I am rotating four tubes each containing magnets which are being rotated into the repelling magnetic field of a magnet that is fixed to the body The following...
