Understanding the Design Principles of a Magnet Motor

Designing a functional magnet motor requires careful planning and the precise selection of magnets, as not all magnets are suitable for this application. It is important to note that this device is not a perpetual motion machine; instead, it relies on strategically positioned stationary magnets that generate repulsive forces to sustain continuous motion.

Key Operational Principles

Two fundamental principles must be mastered and tested through experimentation for the magnet motor to function effectively:

• Overcoming the Dead Center: This refers to the critical point where the rotating magnets tend to stop due to balanced magnetic forces. A successful design must include a method to manipulate this “dead center” so that the rotating magnets can pass smoothly without resistance.
• Repelling Stationary Magnets: Stationary magnets provide the essential repulsive force. These magnets must be magnetized diagonally, as conventional magnetization does not produce the necessary repulsion.

Additional Design Considerations

• Dual Rotors: Employ two identical discs, each with an equal number of magnets, operating independently but in synchrony to enhance motion stability.
• Momentum Magnets: Each disc should include one large magnet to maintain centrifugal force and consistent rotational momentum.
• Material Selection: Discs constructed from Teflon, stainless steel, or aluminum provide optimal durability and performance.

Demonstration Setup

In the demonstration video, each stainless steel disc is equipped with:

• One large magnet
• Ten diagonally magnetized small magnets
• One diagonally magnetized repelling magnet

Both discs rotate in a coordinated, symbiotic manner, generating continuous motion.

Practical Applications and Guidance

When properly scaled, this magnet motor system can be applied in various practical scenarios. We encourage enthusiasts to attempt building their own units. For further information or assistance, please contact us at: info@glymsindustries.com.

Many have successfully constructed this system, while others have encountered difficulties due to incorrect magnet selection or failure to adhere strictly to the construction manual.
