This Bill of materials is designed to take into account your particular project goals. "Materials" herein is referred to in a broad sense, including not only the material parts which make up the device, but also the "materials" of the project as a whole activity, including safety gear, hand tools, power tools, furniture, measuring devices, and recording devices.

Parts

All S.H.O. Drives will share certain things in common.

  1. Every S.H.O. Drive will contain one or more conductive windings, and each will look like an S, an H, or an O depending on how viewed and may be referred to as a S.H.O. Coil.
  2. Every S.H.O. Drive will contain one or more permanent magnets located inside the S.H.O. Coil(s) which will rotate mechanically.
  3. Every S.H.O. Drive will contain a support structure to carry the winding(s) and permanent magnet(s).

S.H.O. Drives will differ in their implementation. For each S.H.O. Drive, the parts must have some level of compatibility with each other. Design specifics may vary widely, and the overall size of each S.H.O. Drive is probably the most important of them.

S.H.O. Drive Mark I

Making needs

Safety gear

Safety gear is an absolute must in any S.H.O. Project. See to it that you have this covered.

Hand tools

Hand tools are essential for any S.H.O. Drive maker.

Power tools

It is very convenient to use power tools, although more care is needed in their operation.

Furniture

Depending on your resources, you may have a dedicated working space already in place, such as many have in their own private tool shed or garage. Others are not necessarily as fortunate.

Sharing needs

Measuring devices and connecting leads

Although not strictly required to physically make a S.H.O. drive, it is very helpful to have in hand devices such as digital multimeters and thermometers, Recording data from your results is highly recommended, as it is the essential "fruit" of each project which will raise legitimacy of one' efforts.

Some S.H.O. Drives may require higher amp-capacity connecting leads than ones included with the device(s), so those should be bought as needed.

Recording devices and gear

You may or may not be one of those people wanting to share their S.H.O. Drive replication to the world. For those that do, it is helpful to have a picture or video recording device.

Transparency

In order to demonstrate more convincingly that there are no hidden wires, batteries, and so forth, extra steps have been taken in preparation for making and presenting the world's first S.H.O. Drive.

Teaching needs

As more people make S.H.O. Drives, the need to teach the principles of the S.H.O. Drive will continue to grow. Whether addressing to an audience on the web or in person, presentations may be taken more seriously if appropriate visual aids are employed.
