Interesting design.. anyone has any idea how to get the magnets with the suggested shape?

One foot at a time.. They are actually looking for someone to build a 3d model of the motor. If someone knows how to work in 3d modelling applications, that would be a huge step forward..

Hi Wakingup, I'll whip up a 3d model of this for sure. Any preference on file type? Collada is probably the best bet for being 'multi' app friendly.

I'm just waiting for mail to arrive which has the wall plug for my PC with my 3d software, should be here early this week. And it doubt it will take me more then a day to get this done assuming the motor is made with pretty basic geometrical shapes. I'll keep you posted.

EDIT:
Actually you are probably after more of a 'computer' model then a strict 3d model correct? The software I use does not have the physics engine required to compute a test drive, its more "game" modeling software.

Hi Phtha
I'm just a messenger of the news...
It would be best if you dropped a mail with your questions to the company responsible for this:
d.hohl@magnetmotor.at
I could get your mail translated to german/austrian if it's necessary.

Any news?

Ok, I made a couple of inquiries, this is what I got back.
The company is http://e-magnetsuk.com/, and this is the price for 30 magnets custom made by the specs in the pdf in the first post.
