    Magnetic Motors
AI Thread Summary
Research on pure magnetic motors focuses on reshaping magnetic fields to create unidirectional force on a rotor by shielding the magnets. The concept involves manipulating the vector forces as magnets approach and pass each other, potentially leading to increased force in one direction. While some users express optimism about the feasibility of these motors, there are concerns about the fundamental principles of energy conservation and the source of energy for such devices. The discussion highlights a desire for practical engineering insights rather than theoretical debates, emphasizing the challenge of visualizing and understanding the mechanics involved. Overall, the viability of magnetic motors remains uncertain, raising questions about their potential for real-world application.

I have been doing some research on pure magnetic motors. I have seen countless vidoes on youtube.. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI4NDrPQ2rA&feature=related ] for one. In these type of motors use the concept of "reshaping" the magnetic fields to allow unidirectional force on a rotor. they do this by Shielding the lead edge of the magnets (both rotor and stator) to change (reduced the force of )the vector that slows the rotor as the magents approach each other. Once the magnets are lined up.. the vector is pushing straight into the rotor, which causes no force in either direction, but once the magnets have passed the center alignment the vector force is now larger then the force required to bring the next magnet pass the center point...

I have made a few these shielded magnets.. and I have to say.. I'm a little... convinced that this just may work.. When I use just my hands and pass the two magnets past each other there is definely more force in one direction then there is the other.

Has anyone out there tried this? Seen this? or know how i can talk to the dude in the video?

Are you trying to make a free energy machine that uses magnets?

We all dream of something like that.. but no.. I just want to understand if it's possible..
Seems to me that once you say the phrase, "Free energy", your labeled a freak, conspiricy threorist or far far worse.. This is an engineering site.. I wanted real answers from real engineers. Therory's are great, until you try to put them into practice.

I just want to know.. is this possible? simple question. Not so simple answer.
The next question will be if it is possible. why NOT build one.?
 
Well, I'm having trouble visualizing what you're describing, but my guess is you're missing an important part of the force balance due to a lack of understanding of how magnetic shielding works.

The best question you can ask yourself about this idea is: since magnets are not an energy source, where is the "motor" supposed to get its energy?

EDIT- This topic has also been covered some time ago in the S&D forum: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=103813

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
