Ken Hegemann's MXLO Magnetic Motor replicationMXLO Magnet Motor Open Sourcing Project

Summary: This open sourcing project sponsored by Pure Energy Systems, based on a design by MXLO, commenced Mar. 3, 2004 and was active for about a month.  At least 14 (8 verified) replications were built, none of which worked, proving that MXLO plans are neither easy nor complete, contrary to what they insinuate on their site, which now redirects to the U.S. government's renewable energy site. On July 10, a hint about shielding was given that was not contained in the plans.

Greetings Friends,

[From] my first 1/2 size build attempt.

[...]

I will also upload some FLUX PHOTOS [...] for Robert Calloway and all you other "theoreticians" out there...

Best regards,

Suggestions for Additional Data

Dann,
 
I would be interested to see the flux lines from Ken's MXLO.  We would think they will be the same as your 1/2-scale version, but a confirmation would be nice.
 
Here are some more things I would like to see by way of flux data to add the page I've posted at:
http://www.pureenergysystems.com/os/MagneticMotors/MXLO/data/flux_fields/
 
 
- Stator alone, and then Stator when tied into a tripod with two other stators (paying particular attention to what happens to the flux fields at the left and right ends of the stator).
 
- Stator in assembly, close and moved away at set increments; e.g. 1) film touching, 2) 1/8 " away, 3) 1/4" away; 4) 3/8", etc.
 
- Same with rotor assembly. (close then incrementally moved back)
 
- Rotor isolated then Rotor in assembly
 
- Can you see any difference in rotor flux field when you manually move the rotor a few degrees off its settling point (at 90 degrees to one of the stators); try 5, 10, 15, etc. degrees removed from 90 degrees.
 
- Then, repeat that one with the film moved away at increments from the surface of the rotor.
 
- Then take a look at the stator flux without and then with the rotor in place
 
- Then look at the stator flux as the rotor is moved in increments away from its 90 degree position relative to one of the three stators.
 
First, before you go through the trouble of all these variations, I would be interested to see how "reproducible" the data is from the same set of circumstance.  Maybe the method is too crude to expect to see anything worth noting in the above suggested procedures.  Measurement noise may be greater than the differences being measured, in which case most of the above suggestions become moot.
 
If, however, the results are quite repeatable, then the above suggestions may then become relevant.    I would then such a "control" reading be included with each of the above tests.  In other words, each data point should be taken in duplicate or triplicate.
 
We're talking a lot of shots and a lot of time to process those shots into a presentation that is not unwieldy.  If you are not inclined to put in that kind of effort, that's fine.
 
Depending on how easy the differences are to see from one position to the next, we could present nine readings at a time in three rows and three columns on the page.  Each column would be a triplicate set, and each row would be a progression of degrees of change of one particular point of view.
 
So the pixel size of each picture, if this resolution is clear enough, would be about 200 pixels wide.
 
You might also think of a way of securing the camera at a set distance from the apparatus for each data set so that the angle and distance and exposure is the same.
 
This kind of attention to detail is what they do at the universities.
 
Some get so specific in their focus they will study one pheromone of one species of fly for years.
 
Maybe when all is done here (after loads of data and publications), we could offer course credit or even an honorary (albeit token) advanced degree from our future PES academy.  Some day down the road, such a degree may actually carry weight in the academic world.
 
Dreaming.

Hi Sterling,

PS, I saw your message about flux photos of
Ken's setup; I will do what I can when I can,
and thanks for your detailed suggestions! :)

Regards,

Flux photos at the level of the aluminum with the stator on top of
the film would be most revealing. 

It is the action of the aluminum altering the field that is the focal
point of the workings of this unit.

Subject: [pes_mxlo] Re: mag field modification by aluminum

Thanks for the clarification on the flux photos.  I agree I was
thinking about when the rotor is turning, which no one has posted yet.

In regards to testing.  I have possible to top level testing if this
device ever turns and would love to see results. But my interest is
in discovery and investigation regardless of the outcome.
