While I think this thing probably will not work, I am
building an attempted replication with my wife. We're
heading back to the workshop now to continue, rotor is
ready, and we'll make the stator. It is entertaining
her, so that counts for something :)
I wonder about the aluminum U channel. One could hide
a few AAA's in there, and a small 'kicker' solenoid,
and some control circuitry. A 555 would fit in there,
if you really were careful about soldering to the
pins, and made everything linear. It could be done.
But what the hell, I'll give this a shot.
Oh yes, assuming the cat that Mylow had in some of the
videos is essential, my wife has several. We can
always let them roam around the workshop while the
thing is being tested, and hopefully the feline
influence will bend the laws of thermodynamics a
little. Yes, I am just kidding.
...or am I? <cue lightning bolts, organ music>
