That's kind of what happened to one of our group (Steorn private developer's club) -- He had an ORBO running for 8 hours before he went to work. When he got home from work, it had stopped. He hasn't been able to get it to run again :-(. It was a rather crude looking affair, so I can imagine the bearings wore out, but nobody knows. He did tinker with it to make it work better :-( .
Out of curiosity was your team's ORBO running in attractive or repulsive mode? After your ORBO stopped running did anyone check the strength of the PMs? Had they weakened, or not? steve -- Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
