Magnetic Suspension Motor/Generator

thingiverse

This device serves as a tool for exploring the interaction between spinning opposing magnetic fields. It's a variation of the David Hamel Spinner, an experiment that has garnered significant interest online. You can find more information about this project on the PES Wiki and Energyscienceforum websites. To build this apparatus, you'll need several key components: * A 3/4-inch metal or glass disc with a small pivot point drilled into its center. * At least one 5-inch weaving needle to serve as the rotor. You can cut it to your desired length. * Sixteen 1/2-inch by 1/4-inch neodymium magnets arranged in an outer ring, which you can purchase from Magnet4less or Harbor Freight. * Twelve 5/16-inch by 1/8-inch neodymium magnets, also arranged in an inner ring, available from Magnet4less or Harbor Freight. * Four 1/4-inch cube magnets for the pulse motor rotor (optional). * Small bundles of welding wire to use as cores for the pulse motor coils (optional). * Four 1/8-inch threaded rods, each 12 inches long, which you can attach to the outer ring without stilts. You'll also need magnet wire for the pulse motor coils. Keep in mind that some drilling and sanding may be necessary to ensure a proper fit between parts. This device is approximately 4 inches in diameter. However, it's essential to note that there has never been a successful replication of the actual Hamel device. As such, experiment with caution, as catastrophic failure can cause damage to property, injury, or even death.
