I'm happy with these "monopole coils" and the big magnets. Welding rod cores work great for awhile then magnetize. Had to go air core. I was experimenting with a gap in between the coils. I call it a gravity well. Although the coil ends repel each other when there are no magnets spinning above them, when wired the same way with the rotor spinning they attract each other. If I keep a gap there the rpm increases. The way I see it, it sets up a magnetic current in one direction. One coil inverts it's polarity to go with the flow.

Please post the sketch of your set up... quite interesting

I'll get some pictures up for you later. The main thing is this method can spin a heavy rotor with big magnets and still have torque with a low draw on the battery. Also it gives a fairly decent output if the positive and negative are switched at the same time. That is, having the coils paired together in series and wired on the ends, switching with a reed switch in the middle. Using a full bridge rectifier it gives a separate ground from the main battery. The reed switch is a big one and can handle quite a bit but I've burned up a lot of them this way too. I think it was more from the magnets, so I printed up another inner wheel with only two smaller magnets on it. So I can fire more switches in succession to the same coils instead of putting it all on one switch. I got it to work using a trigger coil and transistor, the trigger coil has to have a high impedance and it ran cold, but the output was real low. The reed switches give more heat to the coils. There is a lot going on magnetically in all directions. Even though the magnets are all one pole facing down, the opposite pole is between them. This is also true of the coils. I guess you could say it's more 3d.

Those 2 sets of coils set pretty much like that is all you need.
that's a beauty!
I'm still unclear on the orientation of your magnets. You note in an earlier post "magnets have poles vertical."
can you describe that a little more clearly for me? I'm not exactly sure how vertical orients itself on your machine. Do you mean south is facing "down" toward the coils? and the magnets are 1/2" thick? how wide and long are they?
Thanks for sharing this by the way...
Kind regards - Patrick

Very nice!
so is the FWBR connected like this?:
Thanks again,

I can't help thinking that we are looking at a version of the zero-force motor...am I correct?Last edited by Notsure; 03-25-2016, 04:36 PM.

Hi Notsure
I'm not really comfortable coming back on here and commenting, so I will forgo my usual long-windedness.
Back when everyone started going dark on here, Patrick was posting something he did, and I began to wonder what effect it would have as a driver for the zero-force motor. I have not gotten around to trying it out. Perhaps you might give it a go and report back.
Here is a link to Patrick's video:

OK, I'll just slink back off to darkville...Best Regards ~ James, Somewhere In Idaho

I was experimenting with different trigger systems for the wheel. I was using a reed switch and got it spinning real fast. The spark gap was purple color. Anyway, I noticed a magnetic compass that was laying on the bench, the needle had deflected and started bobbing up and down. It was sitting far enough away that it's not effected by the magnets at slow speed or stationary. At a certain speed a magnetic wave is propagated I think.
