Mostly PM motor - Joe Flynn motor.

My attempt to replicate

A while ago I read on peswiki about the Joe Flynn parallel path technology and its
potential in permanent magnet motors. I found it quite fascinating. The claim is
that the motor should give up to 3.5 times more torque than conventional motors. I
thought that it is well worth investigating. Here is the basic theory:

It is said, that you can direct the magnetic flux through a core with a small
electrical input. I made the basic experiment with four iron blocks, two coils and
two 1"x1" cylinder magnets.

I was pleasantly surprised that so far it works just as claimed. With a short impulse
of 4A of current I can manage to direct the flux of both magnets through one side
of the armature, leaving the other side completely without any magnetic flux. It
does not attract anything, even a hairpin. If no current is passed through the coils,
the flux from one magnet flows through one side and the flux from the other
magnet flows through the other side. At this time I can pull the iron block away
from one side with moderate force. When I energize the coils and all the flux flows
through one side of the armature, I am not able to pull that iron piece away
anymore, it is more than 2x stronger attracted than before and this is
understandable because not only the flux from both magnets now flows through
one side, also the magnetic flux from the coils aids this process making the
attraction force even stronger. This was great

Ok, after that I ordered some silicon steel motor armature plates to be laser cut. I
also ordered 1"x1"x1" cube neo magnets that I will be using in the motor. I decided
at first to design the motor plates exactly as suggested on peswiki and if it will work
well, I will make a bigger multipole motor.

Now I had to glue the armature plates together so that they could be easier
machined afterward. The process is messy, but it needs to be done. I use Bison
epoxy metal to glue the plates together. It is rather thick, but I can make it lore
liquid using solvent. After that the process is more like baking a cake The best
part about this epoxy is that it also dissolves in water while not cured so I could
wash away all the excess epoxy then the plates were pressed together:

I made an aluminum base plate to bolt both stator cores on it so that the core poles
can be machined smooth in a lathe. I need two of these base plates, but
unfortunately the driver of my cnc machine broke down after I cut one plate.
Anyway, as soon as the magnets arrive, I will put them in the needed places within
the stators, bolt the stators to the base plate and then remove the magnets
because machining this core assembly with magnets in is not very wise The rotor
will also be machined when the shaft is ready to get the smallest air gap possible.
But I doubt that I will be able to get air gaps as small as in my Lindemann rotary
attraction motors (0.08mm) at least in this design, because this design puts a big
load on the shaft on each phase. In phase one the rotor is being pulled upwards
and in phase 2 the rotor is being pulled downwards. If the shaft bends just a bit,
the rotor will lock down. Fortunately this is not the case in 6-pole motor where the
rotor is pulled in 3 directions simultaneously at each phase.

Here are the CAD drawings of how the motor will look like when ready:

I really hope this will work well because I am eager to make the 6-pole motor
because it just so happens that I have six 1"x1"x4" neo magnets laying around and
these things are so powerful that I am scared to pack them out yet Also I hope
that I will be able to recover some of the input energy as the inductive spike that
appears when the current is cut from the coils, this has to be verified yet on a small
experiment, but if it is possible, then it is HUGE

Here are some drawings of how a 6-pole motor looks like:

I hope that I will be able to get this motor running till the first half of January, for
the holiday season almost all machine shops are closed and I can't do everything
by myself

I will keep you updated on my progress.

Thanks,
