Experiment 1: Magnets-based electricity generator

This is one of the first devices I've ever came up with. It is based on permanent magnets interactions. You know what they say: a picture says a 1000 words. That's why I made this drawing.


In the upper left corner we can see the general design idea. The device consists of 2 major parts, namely the stator and rotor. They fit tightly together. The stators interior is covered with pairs of permanent magnets, as described in PART 2 of the drawing. The rotor consists of 3 blades, with pairs of permanent magnets at the end of each blade, as described in PART 1 of the drawing. The magnets are permanent, neodymium alloy and magnetized through the thickness. The x,y,z designations refer to standard 3D spatial axes.

I propose, that once constructed, such a device would continue to spin for a long time. Since magnets loose 1-2% of their "power" yearly, the speed of rotation should decrease at that rate. Therefore this is not a perpetuum mobile. The idea is that the stator "forces" the rotor to rotate, and that energy could be transferred via a crank shaft to an adequate electricity generator.

I'm looking forward to your comments. Please let me know what you think.
