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
If I correctly understand your plan, rotors with magnets will not spin over stationary coil. It is named Faraday paradox. Lorentz force is applied to a moving charge only, not to the source of magnetic field.
Yeah, my little test that I put together has the rotor or stator capable of moving on the axle, I wanted to see about specificaly what you just mentioned.
I'm just waiting on my DC power supply now. I tried using a PC power supply, but it puts out pulse DC and super-imposes an ac wave in my coil.
Just makes the coil buzz.....it should be dead silent. I have to wait another week to get the power supply....bummer.
