Bowman Magnet Motor Open Sourcing Project

Status: Project commenced Dec. 2003 with claim to a working device, which later, after three months, ended up running down due to demagnetization.  No replications were accomplished though several were attempted.

Svein Utne's Replication of the Bowman Magnetic Motor

Has replicated the design as given by Robert Calloway, and is ready for the moment of truth.  Will display publicly when successful.

Thanks,

Now I have NetMeeting and Messenger 6.1 working, and can show video in both ways, but not at the same time.

So that means you all can see it live if you like.

I still got a lockup in position 1 and 2 if you look at Eric's simulation.

Adjustment tool broke

Subject: [PES_BMM] Now I have a positive feeling about this motor

Hi,

It was a pity that the tool for adjustment of the magnets position broke today. I got the feeling that the helper magnets was getting close to right position, and I was starting to fine tune the magnets on the sun disk. I still had four magnets to fine tune when the tool broke. It was made of Plexiglas, and I noticed from the beginning that it was not stiff enough to give a precise movement. It was flexing, so I was planning to replace it in any case, but I wish it would have lasted a little longer. Maybe it was just me dreaming, but I got the feeling the motor wanted to start running between some of the magnets, so with some more tuning… When I readjusted the sun wheel closer to the planet wheel it started to push over several of the lock-ups, but had some sudden stops at the magnets that are not adjusted.

So now I have a positive feeling about this.

Regards
Svein


Removed Helper Magnets

From: sveinutne
Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 3:01 PM
Subject: [PES_BMM] More pictures

Hi,

I just removed the helper magnets, because they were not helping. In the last two pictures you can see the motor in cocked position, and it will go there if it can be helped past the midpoint of the activator magnet. It needs only a small push to get out of the cocked position, but close to 0.1 Nm to get past the centre of the activator magnet.

I got some very small neo. Magnets, so I am considering building a mosaic of smaller magnets in stead of grinding down a larger one. Any comments on that?

I have the motor standing next to the PC with a web cam, so if someone know a way to share this, I could turn it live with my finger in front of the web cam, so you can see the movements and the lock-ups, if that could be of any help?

Svein


Adjustment Tools; Make-shift Torque Tool

From: sveinutne

Subject: [PES_BMM] More pictures and some new tools

Hi,

I used my web camera and took some pictures with it. The good think is that the file size is only 3-5 KB, but the quality can not be compared to the 4Mpixcels on the camera.

I put 6 new pictures in folder: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PES_BMM/files/Photos/Svein/


front view

What is new is picture of two tools I made. One is for adjustment of the magnets. It takes between 300-500N to move the magnets, so this tool I made in Plexiglas, is not stiff enough for precise movements, but it is for sure much better then no tools.

The other tool is a low torque gauge. It is made from a 17 mm coup and some spear parts I had. I only needed to print out a sheet of paper with: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and glue it on the inner tube. Then I have a torque gauge that will have a max deflection for 0.2 Nm. Usually I need only 0.1 Nm so it will give me some information about the relative torque between each magnet lock-up.

The size, shape and location of my helper magnets is not right, and now I am soon ready to start working on it. First I will try to reduce all lock-ups and try to get a self starter, but that might be a long shot.


locked position

If I do not succeed with that soon, I will put on a bicycle trip/speed counter, and have a digital readout of the rpm. Then I will use a very small electric motor to pull the motor up to speed. Maybe 100 rpm. Then adjust the magnets while the motor is running to see if it will speed up or slow down. Then it might be possible to get a more dynamical answer to any adjustments of the magnets.

But I think my helper magnets are too long, and need to be grinded down some before I can even dream of a self runner.

Svein


Helper Magnet Not Working; Not Built to Specs

From: sveinutne
Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:58 PM
Subject: [PES_BMM] Still some hang-ups

Hi,

I have mounted the helper magnets, but they do not have the right size and shape yet, so I have some hang-ups. I will try to do some more adjustments this afternoon to see if I can overcome it, but I think I will have to do some more grinding and tuning first before it will run.

Yesterday I made two new tools that might come in handy. One is a low torque meter. It is made of five scrap pieces I had laying around. The regular torque meter I got will not give good reading below 0.1 Nm. So I made this simple torque meter in 5 min. It is really simple but handy to use. I will take some pictures of it and then explain it, so you will understand it right away.  The other thing I made was an adjuster for the round magnet mounted on the sun disk and planet disk. This is made of only three pieces. (One piece of Plexiglas, one screw and one nut). With pictures this will be clear too. With this, the magnets can be fine tuned into right position with better then 1/10 mm from right position, maybe as close as 1/100 mm.

One other problem is that all magnets do not have the same strength, so even if all the magnets are adjusted till right position, the torque needed to turn from cocked position will change from magnet till magnet. I think I have more then 10% difference between the strongest and the weakest magnet.

Also my helper magnets are not like Calloway instructs it to be.  When I get more information on that I will regrind the helper magnets, but I am starting with a different sized magnets, so maybe I just need to buy some new helper magnets to get it right.

Regards
Svein

 

Ready for the last piece of assembly

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for your encouragement.
I just got the mounting stand for the helper magnets. So now I am ready for the last piece of assembly. The only problem is that I will not get home before 22:00 tonight. So maybe I will not have time to test it tonight. But tomorrow maybe ….

Svein

Hi,

I and two friends (they want to remain anonymous for the moment) in Trondheim Norway are trying to replicate the Bowman motor after Robert Calloway's descriptions.
On Saturday we got the magnets, and on Sunday the parts were made and glued together.
The base is made of Plexiglas.

I have not put in the actuator magnet or the helper magnet yet, but I hope we will have a chance to do it soon.

Regards
Svein

Actuator

Will Make Public When Successful

Hi Sterling,

 

Thanks for letting me in. I hope I also will be accepted at your group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PES_BMM/

I am following the guides of Calloway for the moments, and hope to make a replica of his version of the Bowman motor.

I plan to take pictures of the project and publish everything as the project develops. I will also chare my ideas and thoughts along the way. If I manage to make the motor run, I hope I will be able to put it on a public display somewhere.

 

Regards

Svein

Hi Allan,

 

I am building an Bowman (Calloway motor), and I was interested in other replica.

From what I can see there might be more information about that at pureenergysystem.com, but when I try to go there, I am asked for user and password.

I was hoping you might be able to provide me with such.

 

Regards

Svein Utne
