Tinman's Recent Claim- Discussion and Tinker

[Jim Mac]

Good work Jim. Do you have a tesla meter by chance? I'm curious how the strength of the field is affected near your and TinMan's removed sticky spot. Looks like they both remove it, which is awesome work by you guys. Perhaps one idea keeps the field strength more unified along the path?

no I don't have a tesla meter, I will look into it though.  But right in the sticky spot TDC, we should have no magnetic field because north and south is equal in that place. I don't know exactly how narrowly a gauss meter can detect,  I can demonstrate again tonight that a piece of metal sticking to the bolt falls off right when we cross polarities.

No worries, just curious. Your Gauss meter should do the trick. Don't want to hold you up doing tests for me. I need to get a printer and such hopefully fairly soon.

Problem is my Gauss meter pickups up the static field of the permanent magnets, so getting a reading of just the bolts is not going to work.  

I am working on a slightly different angle ATM.  Something that seems extremely profound. It might need a new thread if it proves worthy because although it is related to this setup, the result and effect I am after is pretty different.  I will share if I can verify it is feasible.

I am giving this another shot.  I have an idea how to make the permanent magnet stators "adjustable" so I might be able to fine-tune them without randomly reprinting dozens of times.

I am not convinced this whole idea will work. But I think it "MAY" be possible..

I will update

[Jim Mac]

I am not convinced it is possible.  We been waiting for Tinman's big reveal for some time now.  But still we are in the dark. I have my doubts.

Here is what I built.

   

And I am seeing exactly what I saw before on similar builds, and with the Lenzless generator build.

Each individual rotor spins pretty freely by itself. I got the cogging to basically nothing..  BUT when we place both rotors on and let the ferrous metal interact, it creates a counter torque equal to the force of the metal attracting or repelling.

So basically, individually we can balance out the cogging..  But as soon as we let the 2 rotors interact, the interaction between the 2 metal pieces mutually affect each other and exactly as much attraction and repulsion we get, we also get an equal counter force that resists the metal pieces and re-introduces the cogging over the magnets.

Any concept that's not fully open source I wouldn't even try to unlock its secrets.
