You mentioned seeing the Yildiz device at Delft university, I found the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5K_wB-xsuMAs an Engineer the first thing that came to mind was... fan shroud. The fan looks like a typical 16" aluminum ventilation fan spinning at high RPM and it has no shroud!. I'm surprised nobody lost a finger or two.
The second thing was that he is using asymmetric stator magnet arrays. That is the sectors have different configurations of different sized magnets. A quick look at the patent shows a spiral magnet configuration on the rotor which I suspected after seeing the stator sectors.
Since the rotor is spiral and the stator parallel to the shaft each rotor magnet array should produce a pulsing effect moving from one side of the stator to the other.
Hmm, I think I may have it, lol.
I think many of these magnetic devices use what I call "machine logic". So we can consider any given magnet as an element of a numbered array having a magnitude and direction. They can add (in series attraction) or subtract (in series repulsion) and if the picture below is correct he is using a radial 3 element array. So we have each 3 element radial array extending outward from the rotor combined with other arrays parallel to them.
I understand it's actually a magnetic field gradient however that's far too complex.
Here we can think of the machine logic as a truth table which I included below, we have several radial arrays parallel to one another forming a map of magnetic logic gates. The field change can move in the radial and parallel directions depending on it's magnitude. Now we could complicate this to no end however the gate function is what were after.
Note in column 1, the rotor magnet R1 is approaching and repelling A1 while A1-B1 are also in repulsion. I imagine this would then produce a horizontal field motion along the row where A1-B1 then effects A2-B2 and so on down the row. Following this line of reason the gate logic functions seem straight forward however that does not explain the field function as a logic gate.
Consider A1-B1, here we see two magnets in repulsion and can imagine the stronger field between them acting outward in a horizontal direction along the row. Does this action increase the field with respect to R1?, does it increase or decrease the field with respect to R2, R3 and so on?. In this case we would first need to understand the field interaction/ field logic function of each vertical column ie. R1 approaches A1-B1. Only then could we proceed to the horizontal logic functions ultimately effecting the rotor which has it's own issues and should be mapped as a truth table as well.
On the surface it doesn't seem all that difficult and it's basically a numbers game. So we map the field functions (R1,A1,B1) then map the field logic functions (columns and rows) as a whole on the rotor and stator. Easy peasy, lol.
No offense but even after understanding how this could be doable I wouldn't touch it. There's too much stuff going on and it hurts my brain just thinking about it. I think I will stick to electrodynamics...
