Bedini Style Window Motor (Metric Magnets and Hardware)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oKbeM-Szjo This Thing serves as a model for studying radiant or flyback energy, and it's a compact design. John Bedini and Ron Cole deserve credit for the original designs and applications of these motors. I reworked this motor to make it easier for those overseas to source magnets and hardware, also incorporating some upgrades. To learn more about this technology, visit http://www.energyscienceforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48 The moderators at this forum have closely worked with John Bedini and possess a deep understanding of this technology. Parts: 6 magnets: 40mm X 10mm X 5mm (available at https://www.magnetexpert.com/rectangular-magnets-c35/40-x-10-x-5mm-thick-n42-neodymium-magnet-8-3kg-pull-p3790 or http://www.magnets365.com/10pcs-40mm-x-10mm-x-5mm-block-cuboid-rare-earth-neodymium-magnets-n50-grade.html for a pack of 10) 12 M4 pan head bolts at least 10mm long for the rotor caps (6 per side) 8 M5 pan head bolts at least 50mm long (4 per side) 8 M5 pan head bolts for mounting the motor (optional, 4 top and 4 bottom) 2 skateboard bearings (8mm X 22mm X 7mm), highly recommended: ABEC 5+ or Swiss Bearings (https://bonesbearings.com/bones-reg-swiss-skateboard-bearings-8-pack) The wire and circuit are up to you. 1 8mm shaft rod 3 disc magnets (5mm X 5mm) for reed or hall triggering (optional, https://www.magnetexpert.com/circular-disc-rod-magnets-c34/5mm-dia-x-5mm-thick-n42-neodymium-magnet-0-9kg-pull-p3558) Print with infill set at 30%, tops and bottoms .8mm, walls 1.2mm, 2mm layer height. You'll be working against strong centripetal forces. Review https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1676878 to understand how this should fit together. I press the two bearing ends together using a table vise once the tabs are aligned on each corner. This ensures even pressure. Disclaimer: Experiment at your own risk. Catastrophic failure of parts spinning at high speed can cause damage to property, injury, or death. This project contains an electrical function. Electrical shock resulting in injury or death can occur. If you're inexperienced with electricity, don't attempt this project. Some frequencies have been speculated to cause cellular disruption leading to cancer. 12/03/2017: The bearing holders had to be adjusted. The corrected file has been posted. It should now fit skateboard bearings properly.
