The drawing below is a experiment I conducted several years ago. The reason I bring this design to your attention is the direct correlation between the Alsetalokin rotor video (using the 90 degree rule) and a experiment that I performed while in the middle of a Perendev build.
I had constructed 3 rotors that used rectangled diametric magnets in the design. Jason Owens was offering his help through emails at the time by testing my design in autocad. My results were positive and the cad results were also shown as good. To make a long story short, the end result was that a diametric configuration of magnets does work. While experimenting with placing rotor magnets, I noticed that if I installed the magnets deeper into the rotor, better results were seen. A thought occurred to me that a octagon design would allow a sharper turn for the diametric magnet configuration (Think of the
Ron Cole design without the attraction ramp) in rotor rotation through stationary mounted magnets placed in a tri-phased configuration. With a long drawn out experimental process, I could get the design to spin for a while and then it would just suddenly stop, as if some mysterious force from another dimension said no.(excuse my dramatization) But it was a strange sight to behold at the time. After watching the Alsetalokin video, I noticed he is allowing the (3) magnets or iron (I don't know which) to rotate as a governing device. I never tried allowing the (3) phased magnets I used to spin in my experiment. But it makes sense. I still have the wood octagon rotor I made somewhere in my shop. I will have to try and find the rotor and give it another whirl. Perhaps a sextuplet design would give even better results with a sharper turn of the rotor diametrics. Only extreme experimentation will tell the complete story.
Note: A standard magnet (magnetized through the length) placed at 90 degrees to another standard magnet is a diametric configuration. The 90 degree rule.
Update: After studying this design further, it seems a serious break through has been found by these guys. The rotating stator magnet(s) allow the (diametrically placed) rotor magnets to obtain pure attraction through out the whole rotor rotation process. Repel has been eliminated in this design. The north pole of the rotor magnet is attracted to the south pole of the stator magnet. As the (diametrically placed) rotor magnet bloch wall approaches, the north pole of the stator magnet flips around to attract the south pole of the rotor magnet. Drag is only felt in the exit process. This is easily overcome by the other properly placed stator magnets. Magnetic flux depletion is of no concern in this design. Repel hammering is what kills magnets. There is no repel in this sweet design, only pure attraction. Simple harnessing of electron spin.
