Abstract :
We describe a motor which is built on a floating axle technology. The motor has exactly one point of friction and the weight of the motor can be balanced against the magnetic field supporting it. We report the design, a model of operation, and the real performance. Limitations in sensor reaction speed and the effect of drag tend to limit speed. Real performance shows good agreement to expected theoretical performance.
