Glad to see you doing this. I just use 1/2" PVC with some microwave magnets. Depends on the center diameter of the magnets. Stacking block magnets in circles will increase the strength of a single ring magnet. FYI use a metal base to face the magnets all the same direction. The north pole lifts more on the northern hemisphere. The south pole lifts more in the southern hemisphere.

Out of context but I got a great idea I would like to share with you all: We can combine the soda train principle with serpolet instant steam production system! Soda train like others steam engines were gave up because they were storing the steam and therefore had an explosion risk due to excess pressure inside the tank. But this issue was fixed by the serpolet steam engine, made by the Frenches Serpolet brothers. On top of the fire run a pressure resistant pipe inside where the water move in a very thin patt by capilarity. Water enter one side exit at steam at the other side. Therefore no risk of explosion. So a bit of soda and water can produce steam for a while, then be replace by a "fresh" dry soda, adding some water to it to keep going on. Since soda exothermic reaction produce 300*, there is 200* available to use for drying or at least starting to dry the used wet soda. Now since i beg that the steam from this process may content some soda, it can be reuse in a closed system to wet again some soda. Even part of the water used for the turbine may be recollected by condensation (adding an urea endothermic reaction that produce cool could be an extra option). An other possibility is just to use soda generator on this principal to charge battery for electrical car, plane and so forth.

Oh neat! You fixed the cogging issues with a baring. Now how do we keep a spin on it? With more magnets? Magnetic cogging is much more difficult to solve to make the magnet wheel spin forever. It requires good magnetic shielding and that was difficult for me. To overcome the magnetic cogging bump is the hard part.

Why isn't it possible to use a central magnet of lower power surrounded by stronger magnets around it to create a magnetic valley in which a magnet could sit within (create 3 arrangements like this), then have 3 magnets stuck to a triangular platform (to prevent it flipping over) sitting in the 3 magnetic valleys? then you would have a totally isolated magnetic damping platform? Question is can this be done in a stable manner, with the right amount of mass on the platform, you would think this might work.

@@ThinkingandTinkering if i can get it working, I will be sending you the plans to build it. Its simple in theory, but requires a bit of precision balancing and bloody strong magnets for the X and Y axis. A key factor to note is that the stronger the gauss rating of a magnet on it's surface, the less it's magnetic volume will be, but, the greater its flux density. Knowing this, you can use extremely strong N52 magnets as directional stabilizers for multiple axis.

@ThinkingandTinkering

I don't mean to be facetious here mate - I am being serious - but I suppose in the same way a table does after all that holds up weight against the force of gravity. I believe surfaces don't actually touch they just look like they do there is a very short range force called the Casimir force that keeps them apart. If all the drains in a material are aligned like in a magnet we can see that separation - I think that is pretty much what is going on here

@@mfr58 I tend to ignore these so called "Laws" as laws they are not. Just workable opinions to help attempts to decribed what is observed. They are assumptions, not Laws, base on a fixed set of circumstances like gravity, air pressure vs a vacuum. The so-called law of conservation of energy is a perfect example, as it is a theoretical construct never intended to be applied to the physical universe yet is applied by people to the physical universe erroneously all the time. When I question these people of letters phds and such I remind them that the law of conservation of energy is a theoretical construct and was never intended to be applied to the physical environment. The usual have nothing to say but insist it's a law, even when I get them to admit it doesn't apply to the physical universe. Einstein's theory of everything failed because what applies in large cannot be applied to what is in the small it breaks down. In college Tesla's professor called his alternating motor concept a Ponzi scheme. If you plan to think outside the box you may want to look at all assumptions of reality as possibly only applying to a fixed set of predetermined things like gravity, air pressure, vacuum. Take these fixed forces out of the equation or counter them and all of a sudden laws don't apply. All who made advancement in any Field of endeavors challenged what was already accepted. OHM'S so called Law was heavy rejected and he lost his job over it. Was in practically hidings for some 30 years. Same for Tesla they prosecuted him mercilessly.

When I have thought about this, what comes to my mind is: with bar magnets, and the speaker magnets (well ring magnets really), you could arrange the bar's in a V shape and the speaker as shown. Using say two off the shelf plastic oil funnels as shape forms, glue attache the bar magnets to the outside of one and inside of the other. Like to like of course, that should remove a lot of the X and Y wander, then use the pair of speaker magnets as shown here to retain the cone in cone so there is Z-axis stability as well.

If I invented a geometric shape of 2 round magnets that can levitate above each other and lock in each other's magnetic field, would you be interested?
How many RPMs can you get
I am developing a friction-free, fully free-floating, maglev axle design. It utilizes the natural curvature of the magnetic boundary in the X and Y axis of possible motion to refute any push off and hence, true magnetic stabilization. I may release the plans in the future. I may not.

@@ThinkingandTinkering if i can get it working, I will be sending you the plans to build it. Its simple in theory, but requires a bit of precision balancing and bloody strong magnets for the X and Y axis. A key factor to note is that the stronger the gauss rating of a magnet on it's surface, the less it's magnetic volume will be, but, the greater its flux density. Knowing this, you can use extremely strong N52 magnets as directional stabilizers for multiple axis.
Is it not doing work or having energy taken drained from it by the magnetic field?

@@ThinkingandTinkering but being a magnet in motion is it not creating a current in it's vicinity whether or not there is something conductive there to resist. If that doesn't slow it down you could remove all air resistance by doing it in a vacuum and then seek a solid material that is magnetic but not metallic or conductive and you have a levitating and spinning object that will spin forever

I guess this is a perennial question, but how do permanent magnets do work, eg holding up a weight against gravity, without dissipating energy?

I don't mean to be facetious here mate - I am being serious - but I suppose in the same way a table does after all that holds up weight against the force of gravity. I believe surfaces don't actually touch they just look like they do there is a very short range force called the Casimir force that keeps them apart. If all the drains in a material are aligned like in a magnet we can see that separation - I think that is pretty much what is going on here

@@mfr58 I tend to ignore these so called "Laws" as laws they are not. Just workable opinions to help attempts to decribed what is observed. They are assumptions, not Laws, base on a fixed set of circumstances like gravity, air pressure vs a vacuum. The so-called law of conservation of energy is a perfect example, as it is a theoretical construct never intended to be applied to the physical universe yet is applied by people to the physical universe erroneously all the time. When I question these people of letters phds and such I remind them that the law of conservation of energy is a theoretical construct and was never intended to be applied to the physical environment. The usual have nothing to say but insist it's a law, even when I get them to admit it doesn't apply to the physical universe. Einstein's theory of everything failed because what applies in large cannot be applied to what is in the small it breaks down. In college Tesla's professor called his alternating motor concept a Ponzi scheme. If you plan to think outside the box you may want to look at all assumptions of reality as possibly only applying to a fixed set of predetermined things like gravity, air pressure, vacuum. Take these fixed forces out of the equation or counter them and all of a sudden laws don't apply. All who made advancement in any Field of endeavors challenged what was already accepted. OHM'S so called Law was heavy rejected and he lost his job over it. Was in practically hidings for some 30 years. Same for Tesla they prosecuted him mercilessly.
A Tesla turbine perhaps?
What if you put a third magnet on the other side of the flywheel magnet, and flipped it horizontally, secure them on the far ends.

@@ThinkingandTinkering availability for some yes, folk that repurpose what they have (repurpose is good, done so all my life) but there are folk that would drop $$ on projects too I've followed the magnetic bearing set-ups used for a while and I just don't see anyone trying to work with geometry other than flat on flat which I really find odd. When I have thought about this, what comes to my mind is: with bar magnets, and the speaker magnets (well ring magnets really), you could arrange the bar's in a V shape and the speaker as shown. Using say two off the shelf plastic oil funnels as shape forms, glue attache the bar magnets to the outside of one and inside of the other. Like to like of course, that should remove a lot of the X and Y wander, then use the pair of speaker magnets as shown here to retain the cone in cone so there is Z-axis stability as well.
practically impractical, otherwise speaker manufacturer would be making bearings
