I understand Mylow ran the thing continuously at least overnight -- say, 18 hours ( a sheer educated guess). As far as I´m concerned at this point, the fact that iron magnets lose their domains so easily does not necessarily have any bearing on the phenomenon at hand. Unless it´s a well-known fact otherwise, I could as easily believe that a stronger magnet would behave more like the Energizer Bunny -- and do even more ¨work¨ -- yet _keep_ its finely-honed edge. i.e.: you could use _balsa wood_ as a brake -- but it would wear out quickly. So why would you complain that wood, by nature, makes a lousy brake..? Or even claim that braking breaks the laws of fyzix -- as proven by this ¨fact¨..? - -- grok. > I'm a bit leery of messing with magnetic motors, as I > remember the Greg Watson disaster from years back.
