Hi Alex You suond like a pretty smart guy. I have spent much of my life (60 years) playing with magnets and searching for a permanent magnet motor. Some of my...
Thank you Alex for your response. The Hall switch is unipolar, 4.5-24v, made by Allegro Microsystems part# A3121EUA. The transistor is a PNP power Darlington,...
Thanks Alex. I am awaiting shipment of new Hall switches and transistors. I am changing my power source to a rechargeable 6V sealed lead battery. I assume I...
I too have built many magnetic gates/ramps but using tin as a base. Acording to Don from theverylastpageoftheinternet.com, tin is about 50% as efective as...
Alex Of course, you are correct. Most of us who built the iron ramp tried to close the loop simply by joining the ends as in your drawing. However, this did...
Alex The thing that keeps us interested in a magnetic motor is the belief that magnetism is that source of energy. If, for example, a wheel rotates 330 degrees...
Alex, You can place a pail of gasoline in the fridge for 1000 years and it will do NO work. My point is that under the right circumstances magnets have the...
Alex Thanks for the interesting Depalma link. I will do more reading and get back to the group next week. I am off to visit my granddaughter for the next few...
A magnet on the fridge is holding itself, that is work. Likewise, the superglue would be doing work. groundloop2003 <groundloop2003@...> wrote: Peter, ...
Sorry, I thought a magnet holding itself up against gravity is doing something (work). If it is de magnetized, it will fall. My mistake. groundloop2003...
Hi all, I would like to tell for a fact that the circular iron V rotor idea will not work. Why is as follows: The magnetic pull on the iron V has to be "...
Hi Alex, I agree with almost everything you stated, except the about a magnet and work. It very well could be I am stuck with my personal belief that a magnet...
Hi All, I have added a simple iron V to the photo section under the BarberPoles motor idea. Its nothing more than a section of bent clothes hanger wire and I...

... Hi, Just a little curve in the V track stops the show. I gave up on the circular track idea a while back because of this. Lately after watching a barber...
Hi All, I wondered if by cutting the tip of the equalateral iron triangle would change the ability of the rod magnet to roll up to the wing tips of the V. I...
... I am going to buy some RG60 copper coated steel welding rods sold by McMaster Carr. The steel in these RG60 welding rods is recommended for making the...
Hi all I'm back and I see the topic is Calloway's V track. I uploaded a drawing to the "Peter" folder which shows a side and top view of a stator with the iron...

Flywheel efect? from the weight of the magnet? Can you start it on a anouther set of tracks after it leaves? I can't wait to try this this weekend. Jason ... ...
Hi all, A stacked lenght of rod magnets will not easily roll down a V track. Some will move slow or not at all. I have not tried this yet but the thought came...
HI All, I tested with one simple iron V shaped 60 degrees and the tip cut off. Alex, This should answer your question about if a heavy track magnet can roll...
I am going to try this this week end. I am wondering, instead of gluing the rods to something, could I bend the ends and stick each rod into a piece of...
Hi all, I made two iron Vs and DOUBLED UP the coat hanger wire in each of them. The attraction towards any magnet movement also doubled. Real fast hard...

Hi All, I put together a iron V using .25 inch diameter steel rods. All is shown in the photo section. The huge ceramic ring magnet I am testing is there...
Hi All, I have posted in the photo section a photo of what just might be THE ULTIMATE SETUP. The huge stacked ceramic donut ring magnet measures 4.5 inches...
