Leap of Faith
Maybe magnet on a leash is a bad idea for spinners approaching the electrogravitic threshold.
Allright I'll go ahead and order some ceramic bearings for now, and more 26ga magnet wire, and when I can get a solid parts list I'll get those too. I already have a big bag of magnets, conductors and semiconductors so those are "already in the bag" as it were.

While the bearings are being shipped, could you do a little test for me / us? -- Please turn your device off, then try to start it using low RPM's, like a single finger flick. Then stop the magnet manually, almost immediately. Does it go into self oscillation? Do you still observe the same charging effect? What I'm trying to get at is are the ceramics necessary, or is it / can it be like a solid state bedini ?

I have alot of iron core bifilars but I think that your using an air core as the top speed of the iron cores have a limit, the time delay of saturation. Air cores spend less time saturating, have a higher max rpm.
Are you tapping the rotor for power? Or can I use any non magnetic that will fit in my big magnet? I think I can break a lamp in the dump and get some pieces that might do well as the axel... Unless you know a good parts supplier that ships internationally.
Where / how did you get your carbon fiber rod? I just need a few ...
I plan on obtaining enough parts for 3 replications, one to mess up on, one to keep at home and one to give away.
Speaking of design, maglev might not be a choice because both poles need to be basically aligned 90 degrees away from the coil, unless your using one magnet as the bearing in the maglev, and 2 magnets on either side being the triggering magnets.
And I think that this is in the right forum topic - you can still start a new one for your specific build if you want - but since there's a spinning 1 magnet it still fits here, even if it does have a bearing, IMHO, as the bearing can be done away with if theres a better design.
