Speaking of small motors:

This is cool. Too bad it requires energy to drive it.
I wrote: "It is thus feasible to build a motor rotor consisting
merely of a parallelogram shaped lobes, and stator which is merely a
flat surface near which the rotor rotates. Of course it have to be
very small."
It might of more use to make the stator a surface with non-
symmetrical cross section grooves or fairly closely spaced
parallelogram cross section "blades". Call this the activator
surface. Such a surface could be relatively large in area. Then the
rotor or armature need only provide a closely mated smooth surface at
a very small distance from the stator. The activator could be
planar, or cylindrical, or conical, etc., with the stator shaped to
mate surfaces.
It is easier to build oscillating arm micromechanical devices than
similar devices with rotors because it eliminates the need for
bearings, and the construction can be achieved using existing
electronic chip making technology. A linear motion armature could be
activated by changing the distance between the stator and armature in
one direction in order to initiate free energy motion in the other.
An x axis moving armature sandwiched between two connected activator
plates that move together in the y axis, one growing closer to the
armature as the other recedes, each activator plate with groove
shapes opposed to the other, would cause the armature to oscillate
directions, with net energy from each oscillation . Since the force
curves are symmetric, no net energy is required to drive the
activator plates. Electrical energy can be extracted from linear
armature motion by having it change the separation between charged
capacitor plates, or by having a connected dielectric material move
in and out of the volume between two charged capacitor plates.
Similarly, some of the generated energy could be fed back to
capacitively drive the motion of the activator plates.
That's my guess anyway. 8^)
