Modular Variable Magnetic Coupling - Concept 3D print model

Combine different halves into magnet filled discs (both sides mirrored), try different configurations by changing polarity, amount of magnets as in ratios for both sides, amount of disc layers increasing strength of the magnetic lock, diminishing slip per rotation. Ive added cavities for magnets and for short spokes, so that one disc can be mounted onto the next, using a male and a female half as one disc, expanding the amount of layers and thus the effect we seek.

the two halves are counter rotating due to the screws one has to insert around the core piece, Ive created the cavities extremely close for both halves so that the magnets are very close to each other with only little material between the fixated magnets.

supplied a few adapter rings for allowing to to use multiple magnet sizes in the same print. you can use every hole or not, space them in even or weird uneven ways, i even supplied a hollow version if you'd like to test other things like metal weights or bearings in the holes rubber bands etc... you can use a hole version or a half version, double them up against each other, twist their timing, use a spacer (neutral disc and clams) and add another differently configged layer lol... nothing you cant config and test.

talking about spacers, i will add a center axis spacer as well so we can place disc layers at variable distances depending on the magnets strength used etc. if one could mechanize the way the discs move together, it could be like a magnetic gearbox, like adding more weight in discs dragging or braking or for switching to a heavier gear... also added a few support stand if anyone wanted to hook up a motor to the system for testing and demonstration purposes. added the magnet shapes that fit the cavities so you can use these forms when you are not filling the cavity with a magnet, this lessens resistance of air. added several clams or clips to lock halves, two halves, two holes, two halves with a center spacer...

added the balls for the 2 types of bearings, the outer ring bearing is a little squeezed for more speed. supplied the round balls for the center axis bearing, print as many as needed. fill up the cavities. [32-64] the entire project can be scaled up or down if so desired, allowing for more powerful, and bigger magnets still. or go a little smaller of course. included are several center axis, different lengths same diameter, some hollowed.
