Sean CLaNZeR's replication of the OC MPMM Magnet Motor
On Jan. 13, 2008, using a temporary magnet configuration, awaiting arrival of the proper rotor and stator magnets, CLaNZeR showed brief (~2 seconds) acceleration in his replication of "Overconfident's" all-magnet motor built by Al. As far as we can tell, this marks the first successful replication of the effect to any extent.
On Jan. 14, 2008, CLaNZeR received the proper magnets in the mail, but he has not yet been able to get the motor to accelerate or self-run with them.
On Jan. 19, 2008, he said: "At the moment I have a number of different rigs I am swapping stuff between and reporting any weird effects. The main problem has been that it is very hit and miss to get the latching as others replicating will tell you. One minute it will work like a dream and the next it will be a bitch to get going for a long time." [1] (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.msg71679.html#msg71679)
Sean (not McCarthy, the Steorn CEO) was formerly with the Steorn Developer's group, but left. He has been a primary participant at the OverUnity.com forum thread: "Working Magnetic Motor on you tube?? (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.0.html)".

- http://www.overunity.org.uk/ocpm/tests/CLaNZeR320rpm800rpm.wmv - "Playing today while STILL waiting for the correct stator magnets I found that the best speed to get them rear stator to latch is 320 RPM any speed over this seems to make it very difficult. Then if you spin the rotor over 800RPM it looses sync. I am going to spend today using a airline too hold it at a constant rpm and then release the air and log some data too see if have any small speed increases or THE BUMP as they call it."

- Rep12 Movie of the OCMPMM (WhipMag) Replication - With proper stator magnets, he's not yet been able to get the unit to accelerate, like he did above with make-shift magnets. (YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc1K6WhsUHg) January 14, 2008)
- http://ou.whipmag.googlepages.com/ - "I fixed up CLaNZeR last video [3] (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.msg70590.html#msg70590) and put it up here. I stabilized the video so it doesn't shake as much. Also tweaked the brightness." [4] (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.msg71126.html#msg71126) (mikeytown2; Jan. 16, 2008)
- http://www.overunity.org.uk/ocpm/tests/CLaNZeRSCorrectmags1.wmv - "Now the Correct Stator magnets have arrived. I lathed down some shaft and press fitted them onto the Magnets, did crack one of them, so good job I ordered 10, so be careful as even soft brass can do some damage! I had to ditch the cube rotor as even with a HUGE gap they were too powerful and it was difficult to spin the rotor. Even now I struggle to get it up to 400RPM spinning by hand and need to maybe alter the height of the stators or increase the air gap. As you can see by the video the latching occurs at over 500 RPM with the spacing I have. I will move them back and do more testing later on. Still 100 other things to try yet, but at least the building blocks are in place." (Jan. 14, 2008; 05:14:19 PM Mountain) [5] (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.msg70590.html#msg70590)

- OverUnity forum post (http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3871.msg71428.html#msg71428) - Well enough of Sore fingers this end trying randon configs, so now I am happy with my Rotor and Stators, will start the boring task of altering Stator height and Air Gap. (January 18, 2008)

Q & A
- Question
- I notice that an earlier version of your rotor was clear, whereas now it is white. Was this because of the input from Al about the plastic makeup?
- Answer
- I was making Clear Rotors while waiting for the 20mm HDPE to arrive. I want to try a few different combinations. (CLaNZeR; Jan. 16, 2008)

Have posted First New Tacho results and movie link so you can see the latching occur.
