Papa Bale installs a 250N solenoid magnet and the results are immediate. Quick acceleration at 4 volts, 8+ volt ceiling, and lessons about why too many rotor magnets cause interference.
Small tweaks make a huge difference — adjusting magnet height, reed switch positioning, and coil proximity transformed this pulse motor from stalling to spinning smoothly at just 7V.
Reduced solenoid magnets down to ONE and bumped the rotor array to 24 magnets. The result: a simpler, faster, more modular pulse motor that picks up speed with just a touch.
Testing different coils with 12 volts — the violent magnetic response, rapid heat buildup, and what happens when a floating coil meets a magnetic field.
Starting at 1.5V cap bank input, Papa Bale's dual 16AWG drive pushes the system to 9V — pulling 220mA from a 12-strand 26AWG litz wire coil. Remarkable numbers.
Resonance humming plagues a 20-farad supercap-charging counter-rotor. Papa Bale isolates the cause, reaches 4.07V, then unveils a latching relay + IR sensor auto-cutoff upgrade.
A 3-disc levitation stack spins for 7 minutes 32 seconds from one wrist flick — and 30 minutes with a fan. The edge magnets on the bottom disc are the secret ingredient.
Papa Bale spends hours testing magnetic levitation on a pole with interchangeable discs. Key rule: flat wobble self-corrects, but tilt means imbalance. Push-pull forces explained.
