As RB said, the Steorn site does go down from time to time.  And whenever it does, there is speculation that maybe this time it's for good.  Then it always comes back up.  It will this time, too.  But it's nearly midnight there, so it might not be back up for several hours.

Ummm, not OU?

Grimer,

Just so we are clear...those aren't my words. They are Old Horseface's words. I just copied the post over here. I've still got splinters on my arse from sitting on the fence.

They should be making you cry.  That bleedin' 'urts

I'd just made a post about mythbusters replicating Whipmag-maybe that caused the site to explode

Don't we all remember what happened last time Mythbusters "replicated" something from the free-energy world (Bedini's Free-energy generator, original design from 1984) they purposely sabotaged the experiment and discredited the inventor.

Sadly masses who watch crap that Mythbusters broadcast believe it to be true and authentic. After all, it's show-TV and it's never about the truth but about popularity...sigh.

Thats fascinating, can you point me to a working Bedini motor?, not had much success with my replication.

dupe

The appearance of identical, repeated information in a database. Dupe is short for "duplicate".

And that is precisely what they are doing.

I watch it occasionally because I find it amusing. I repeat, my comment about mythbusters on the Steorn site was a joke.

Finally got some shop time. I know it is not an exact replication. Not sure an exact replication is even possible if Al does not even know the strength of his magnets which will make a difference. Only have one more stator to make but with just playing with what I have I have formed a couple of ideas of why it may be working. I am not sure how many of you have played with making PMM. My first one years ago was on a 12 inch round wood circle that was 1 1/2 inch thick. I glued a bunch of steel angle iron pieces to a bunch of radio shaft large rectangular ceramic magnets. I was able to get it to spin with another magnet by hand and only moving it about 1/2 inch. I never figured out a way to replace my hand with a mechanical system. I think that is what these round stator magnets do. They pulse the rotor by rotating. BTW a great way to get it up to speed is with an air compressor wand as some of you have done. I also found it spins better one direction (CCW) then the other (CW). Not sure why.. Lots of playing to do before I get more shop time. At least it is a start..

@All,

I see in http://www.ospmm.com/whipmag/ the magnets on the rotor are arranged NS SN NS SN NS SN NS SN.  Was that discussed before, is that the right arrangement for the working motor in the video?

I like watching Mythbusters cause of the cool stuff they make, only seen the Bedini clip on Youtube though.

Here is a second picture.. Can I join the replicators club now 

[geodan]

nope... ya gotta spin it up, accelerate and maintain speed for 7+ hrs...

Real nice work hydrcontrol, you joined the first moment you started your replication, I'm really envying all those with the resources to make such neat setups.

Nice Hydro, I like the slots for the stators.

Is that a Rubbermaid cutting board for raw material?
