Coin Cell / Solar Cell Hybrid Motor Test
This is a test of my latest long running motor. I am using a dollar store solar waver drive unit with power supplied by both a small solar panel and a 3v coin cell….

Simi – Levitaited Rotor —-Driven by solar waver driver
This is a simple solution to driving my simi – levitated pulse motor rotor. A solar waver drive unit worked great. Adding a AAA battery with a dropping resistor will make it run around…
Floating rotor and the easy driver
This is a pulse motor that uses a magnetically levitated rotor and a simple reed switch driver unit. Slider2732 has done a cool replication of this setup using ring magnets only for the suspension….
Pseudo Levitation
This is a type of magnetic levitation called ‘pseudo levitation’. This idea is very old and is an example of how you can use permanent magnets only to levitate —-as long as one axis…
Pyrolytic Graphite Levitation —Bearing quest
I got my ‘real’ pyrolytic graphite in the mail and here is my first test with this amazing stuff. This project is a quest for a better bearing for extreme low power electric motors….
Non-Stop running devices– update at 1.5 years
An update on my ‘Non – Stop’ running devices after 1.5 years of constant 24/7 operation. Only one has stood the test of time. Lasersaber’s EZ-Spin motor is the winner. Bearing failure has been…
Electrostatic Motor –Using graphite rotor elements
This is an electrostatic motor using graphite pencil leads as the rotor elements.
Graphite Electrostatic Motion Device
This is an electrostatic motion device that uses a mechanical pencil lead as the rotor. The device will run for over 1 hour on energy stored in a 2500 VDC / .015uf high voltage…
Pyrolytic Graphite Levitation
This is a method of levitation that uses a form of graphite that is repelled by both poles of a permanent magnet. If a set of strong neo magnets are arranged in a certain…
Kitchen Sink Boat Testing
This is a super simple ‘air boat’ tested in my kitchen sink. I got the idea of using a kitchen sink for model boat testing from GrandadIsAnOldMan. The motor powering this is the homemade…
