#03 - 20070710 - Beyond Steorn, a real permanent magnet motor.

This model goes from 6 rotor magnets to 4, alternating poles facing out and a steel strap inside to control the flux path. Should make it a little easier to create a cam to drive the stator up and down ever so slightly which is all that's needed to create continuous unidirectional rotation.

Even with fewer magnets I am able to demonstrate acceleration of a much larger inertial load than previous. The only thing I use a battery for is it's mass. To hell with the charge!

More to come. Enjoy!
