That may be so, but OC's "dream" variation is, IMO, categorically different than what "Alsetalokin's" original configuration appears to show. IMHO, OC "dream", specifically the dynamic animation displayed out at the web site, is therefore irrelevant. OC's animation cannot be used in any practical way to help explain "Alsetalokin's" contraption, precisely because OC is rotating the stator magnets in the wrong direction. Alas, a burning debate that remains answered in my mind is whether "Alsetalokin's" original demonstration was a clever fake. Based on the fact that, as I understand it, few replications have shown much success, it is sensible to come to a conclusion that trickery may indeed have been involved. But silly me! I'm still curious. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
