Aside from being a great person, really truly personable. He is too smart for his own good.
thats a nice idea
Not going to say for sure yet, but I see a problem with this set up that may lend to it being inconsistent...but wow, what a cool idea
I assume you are talking about the slight left to right motion of having the "abar" mounted to the side. It could be a problem, it could not. But I believe he mentions this isn't a final version. Even so , it would be far less wobble than a direct drive.
I had made a magnet drive machine before.. or attempted to.
The problem I had was that it needed a whole lot of power to get it to work. -opposite to what I had hypothesized.
-but that was mine... Not his :-/
Interesting concept , couldn't he just line the A bar up over the top like most other machines ?
that way you might get some side wobble as the magnet comes round.
How long you looking til in production this looks like a great concept. I own 3 Centri tattoo machines and this seems allot like it and I love those machines so I would really like to try this out.... I had help Mike at Centri with testing the centri and working out the kinks .if your ever looking for someone to to do that let me know my shop is busy and your machine would get a proper workout for durability and consistence and comfort... If not illmwait til they are available
Thanks Bill Northern Lights Tattoos
Not what I was thinking at all...even if what I believe is right, it doesn't take from the "idea". This is how things are created, trial and error. Got mad respect for JC both as a builder and a personQuote:

I think I know what you're talkin about here, the bit of friction caused by the momentary contact of the armature on the magnetic flywheel. That can be avoided with an end stop that keeps them from actually touching. I've got a design in the works(started a few months ago) based on this concept, of course inspired by this machine. Thanks JC!Quote:
