Subject: [pes_mxlo] Ken's Progress and Pictures
I spent the afternoon at Ken's shop. He's done a lot of fiddling trying to get his new build to run, so far no results. We discussed possible arrangements to try. I thought that possibly the very large bearing might be interfering with the fields, and so Ken built a base with bearings below the stator. Another feature of the new base is the ability to adjust the height of the rotor easily. I've uploaded some photos to the "Ken" folder in the photo section.
Regards, Built to Specs, Does Not Work; In Dialogue w/ MXLO
MXLO group,
My replication is complete and was built to the precise specifications provided in the MXLO
plans. Unit is not running yet. I have established an e-mail dialog with
MXLO. They are very eager to help and I hope to get the unit running soon with their
help.

Made New Stator Plates
I have made new stator plates this morning with the perfectly positioned indentations for the
stator magnets. Waiting for UPS to deliver the ring magnets today (Saturday) I anticipate a
trial run by 9:00 AM Sunday.
I have not yet received my official plans. They did charge my credit card but no plans so I
can't ask them for help. Can someone contact them and ask if they have actually ran a
unit without the aluminum strip. I understand the aluminum strip is only needed if you are
trying to extract electrical power. I have installed the aluminum strip on my
replication but sure would like to know it the thing is supposed to be able to spin
without it.

Receiving Exact Magnets Today

Today I will receive the exact magnets that are specified in the plans. 16 gauge aluminum is
1/16 inch thick. I suggest you use the exact width that is specified (1-1/2 wide) so that
you are following the exact specifications.

Stator Holder PlatesSterling,
In putting the unit together last night, I found that it was quite difficult to position the
stator magnets in the proper location over the template. That's because the new magnet wants
to join the already positioned magnets. So tonight I am making new stator holder plates and
I will make them on my milling machine for ultra high accuracy. I will bore a hole in each
magnet position (right on the money) and these holes is will hold the magnets in the
exact location while the glue is drying. The holes will only about 1/32 inch
deep. This will make the magnet assembly process very easy, very fast, and the result will
be precise location of the magnets. Honestly, it was difficult to maintain plus of minus
1/16 inch accuracy the other way. This will put the magnets to within 1/1000 inch of the
specified location. I am doing this because I want to know if this concept works. If
it does not work, I don't want to wonder if it was because of poor magnet positioning.

Square Magnets to be replaced by Round
Rotor is not inclined to spin at all right now but I think it is due to use of the temporary
rectangle magnets that I used. My ring magnets will be in on Saturday so I will be able to
give it another go.

lacking diode and copper wire
Sterling,
I was able to get the MXLO motor together last night. But I did not have a diode or the
copper wire so I fell short of getting the thing running. Also, I did not yet receive my
ring neo magnets so I used some flat neo magnets that I had in stock. If I can't get it
running tonight, I will switch to the ring magnets when they arrive.
Thanks,
Ken Hegemann

Subject: [pes_mxlo] Photos of Ken's Motor
I was jazzed when I learned that Ken Hegemann lives nearby. When I contacted him this evening, he very graciously received me and my son for a visit at his shop. I took a couple of photos of his MXLO replica in progress.
Ken is using Neo magnets that he had on-hand; he realizes Have Materials; Will Report Tomorrow
Group,
I have ordered and received the MXLO Magnet motor instructions. I obtained the materials
today and will build the unit tonight. Will report in the morning (March 5th)
Meanwhile, Hugh continues to work on the Bowman.
