Exx-008 Incredible Linear Homopolar Motor

[@MrLiamHenderson]

This is EXACTLY how the mach 15 US military rail gun works. Same principle. EDIT: love it BTW

[@sailingsolar2371]

The sparking damage on the contact point will likely not permit many hours of operation. I sure you know that.

[@scienceexxience]

You are right. The set-up was made to show how it works. For an industrial application the materials would need to be different.

[@MehmetBoysal]

Besides demonstration this can't be use for any practical application or can it?

[@scienceexxience]

Well, it uses a lot of current, so an application will be difficult to realize. We made it for demonstration purposes.

Trains or cargo shipments could benefit from such high torque motors

[@antonnym214]

This would be more interesting and engaging if you narrated what you were doing in real time, instead of just printing text on the screen. All good wishes.

[@acykablyatley]

hey, are you sure this isn't a corona motor?

[@scienceexxience]

The Corona motor works with the electrostatic field, hence hig voltage is needed. The device in our video works with high current and low voltage, and is therefor very different.

[@bobt8735]

Thanks, Science. Show more that it moves forward and backward. That's important for the ball bearing motor problem.

[@sailingsolar2371]

Just reverse the electric input.

[@fano72]

How many Ampere?

[@scienceexxience]

It would be very difficult to measure the current, because the connection with the rails varies a lot.

[@ronjones4069]

Black very small text on a black background. Why not simply talk to us and explain what your are doing. You went to a lot of work to make this video but it is hard to figure out just what the point was. Thanks anyhow.
