[NewCandle] Sprain torque?

[Keith Nagel]

Yes, a motor drives the disk.

Referring to 
http://www.geocities.com/terry1094/Steorn_test_rig.jpg
and to the text I posted from the reporters observations.

You can see the holes in the disc where the 4 magnets
are mounted. The four holes on the left side of the
U shaped metal support are where the stationary magnet
mounts. The blue thing on the right side of
the shaft is the motor. The stuff on the left is
the measuring gear, and I'll leave it to the hive
mind of Regional Transit Partners to flesh in
the details of that bit.

You are saying that the disk itself is driven by an external motor 
and not by the inherent torque of the system? Seems slightly 
wasteful.

However, there do appear to be several stepper motors, which for 
whatever reason, are on belt drives.
