Math proof for why homopolar motors are the best and all the other ones are horrible, stupid and wasteful
So I've been playing around with the idea of homopolar motor and I had an interesting thought experiment I wanted to see the results of. So I hopped onto FEMM 4.2 and drew up 2 flat parallel N52
Found a video for you, shows how well these things can move, even with a simple design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rRjUJsjCXc
Nice design, but needs mercury, which is heavily safety-trolled out today.
