Re: [Vo]:Marinov's ball-bearing motor
When I replicated the ball-bearing (marinov) motor about 12 years ago, I thought it might have something to do with longitudinal forces ala the Graneaus (Ampere-Neumann electrodynamics), since it only seemed to manifest with large currents. I didn't have an amp meter back then, but what kind of current do you get from a nearly shorted car battery?A sh*tload... Also showed this thing to Dr. Rueda (Inertia as a zero-point field Lorentzian force), and he was intrigued with it for a short while and was trying to apply the right-hand rule to it... But don't think it captured his attention for much longer than that. -Mark No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Vo]:Marinov's ball-bearing motor
V, Today, went out and got a nice power supply for a Marinov bearing motor. 1200 ampere jump starter box. Two high quality RBI ball bearings, 5/8 shaft size, were purchased. Mated them to a shaft with an aluminum flywheel on the end, used a couple U bolts to hold the bearings to a wooden base. Gave it a twist, a flick of the wrist, that's what the showman said, and then applied power. Damn thing accelerated rapidly. Three friends were in my lab at the time, and it rather dazzled them. Guess I will be purchasing some galinstan for further experiments. Horace, I will be printing your document and reading it. On a side note to this topic, John Berry, I did build the power supply today as well. Roughly 5.5kV out, negative WRT chassis ground. Going to run this off of an old generator to keep it from being connected to the mains, as we don't know what might happen. Probably nothing, but with my bad luck, I don't think I can be too careful. More to come. --Kyle

I have several of these I could pull out of the stator magnets. Just hook it to a few hundred amps? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJK-W9FwjMc (( ( ( ( ((O)) ) ) ) ))) William J.

The video says the magnet is diametrically magnetized, but it doesn't say if it is axially or radially magnetized. It appears to me it could not work if axially magnetized. That would be anomalous if so. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
Re: [Vo]:Marinov's ball-bearing motor
V, Built a quick and dirty one tonight. Does work, not well, but it does at least take far longer than it should to spin down. The bearings were basically cheap crap from Valu Hardware. Need to get something better. Power source was a moderately charged 12V Autocraft lawnmower battery, something like 200CCA. Will try with the toroidal transformer as time permits, just for the sheer hell of it. --Kyle
