Hi Elias,
Nice work, bravo. Simply said : impressive !
But : with adjacent and facing wheels, I think that such an arrangement can't be compared to Hatem's design, where the wheels are in line, while the magnets are facing each other on the perimeter edges.
Nevertheless, your apparent ability leads me to have great hope that you could be the next one to build a nice replication.
Tons of questions are rushing back in my mind... And I'm so frustrated that I won't have easily the means to conduct my own tests to answer them in a near future...
My main questions are about the adequate radius of the wheels, their relative tuned weight, primary motor needed power and relative impedance of the secondary generator (and nevertheless : adequate ratio between these two).
I'm also trying to figure out how we could have an heavy mass essentially on the perimeter of the wheel : it seems to me that it must be a non-conductive mass (ie: copper or aluminum) to avoid currents circulating between magnets. What else ? Wood ? Plastic ?
Being not a machines user, I see the armature's design as a problem too... where many would just laugh at such a problem...
But we may never depart from this great principle : "simple is beautifull".
Hope one can make it soon : I'd really like to see it self-sustaining (why no one has already made such a simple test ? Since it really seems that it should work right, ain't it ?...).
