I hope you don't mind me butting into this conversation thread but I find your spiral magnet rotor designs quite interesting!
I have been learning about magnets, electromagnetism and whatnot for the past few months and I've been trying to find out if permanent magnet generators are actually possible (or even possible at all). After watching some of your videos, I became quite intrigued by this particular video of yours which leads me to one question: How come this rotor does not slow down to a stop when you spin it, unlike your previous (blue) rotor design?
Hello and welcome.
This rotor is much heavier than the other one with all the big magnets on it. So it takes more power to spin it initially, but the kinetic energy keeps it going like a flywheel because it is much heavier. It will still slow down though of course.
