I think I know what your trying to do. Creating a motor where the rotor is a single magnetic pole with field lines extending outwards or inwards along the whole rotor surface and the stator being the opposite magnetic pole , then you can put a wire in the airgap between the stator and rotor or attach it to rotor surface , pass current through that wire and it will continually be pushed around as it cuts the never ending single direction flux between the stator /rotor.I can say immediately that the first problem is that the magnetic loop has to be long , the longer a magnetic loop is the more lossy it becomes so you will need more energy to create the same strength field, or more permanent magnets, second problem is unless you wish to put slip ring on the periphery of the rotor where there is high angular speed you will have to use the rotor axis as a magnetic field return path, rotor axis are usually made from hardened ferrous steel which is not nearly as great in terms of magnetic permeability as soft magnetic steel used in laminations for transformer cores and electric motors.In theory it works, in practice it's worse in power to size/volume ratio, it's more complicated and it doesn't surpass existing motors/generators in the parameters.cairoliu said:From reply #13, then after, I assume the cylinder is replaced with an infinite area plate with thickness equal to original height of the solid cylinder, and no more rotation, but linear motion.
My only concern is whether the motion of wire (combined with plate), is affected by the plate in term of induction effect.
By my imagination, the contact area between wire and plate seems not to cut B flux, as the motion may stickily drag the MMF lines if not instant straightening (reconnect to nearest magnetic domains); only the wire upper portion causes flux change?
Following sketch illustrates the combined wire and plate moving towards reader.
If the plate is attached with the C core, and let the wire independently move, is there the same induction effect? View attachment 321629
Sorry to say but this is not a new idea , it's just not practically efficient or better therefore it's not used.
One additional note is that such a motor would have only a single turn in the rotor, so a very low resistance path which would be impractical for almost all applications and energy sources.
For more than single turn in the rotor you would need additional slip rings, so 1 turn needs 2 slip rings , 10 turns would require 20!!! slip rings one for each turn start and end.
It's essentially a faraday disc just with different geometry.
Did I got your idea? Is this a good answer ?
