I’ll be placing my most current magnet motor plans online shortly. I’m still fine tuning them. This is the most promising motor I’ve built yet. It combines neodymium magnets with an electromagnetic stator. This concept I believe and hope, will be able to produce not only a recharge for the battery powering the stator, but excess power, which has always been the ultimate goal.
Construction involves common items:
- A hard drive from a desktop computer. The case will have to be opened to expose the metal data disk.
- The ratchet for the wheel is actually the reading arm from the above hard drive.
- A 4″ PVC pipe coupling. You can obtain this from your local hardware store.
- A 1/4″ steel rod. You can also obtain this from your local hardware store.
- A microwave transformer. It’ll have to be modified where the coils can be removed without damaging the metal of the transformer. A more complete explanation will be on the plans.
- Neodymium magnets. 1/2″ square, and 1/2″ dia. x 1/2″ tall. I don’t recommend using ceramic magnets. They’re not as durable, nor as strong as the metal neodymium.
- A 1/4″ rubber mat for vibration isolation.
- Access to woodworking tools to cut out your wooden parts.
- Sheet copper for the reed switch.
- various and asst. machine screws, sheetrock screws, nuts, washers, etc…
The drawings will be available for download soon…
