Is Scalable For Larger Torus Machines.
A possible way to make a cheap machine to wind the coils for the Torus Machine. This would have 2 bicycle rims rotated by rollerblade wheels via a motor and pulleys.
A removable section in the rims allows the Torus to be installed and removed.
The Torus is mounted on a Hub to allow rotation. A reversible motorized arrangement would make coil winding less tedious.
The Hub height would be adjustable to accommodate a larger Torus.
The Arms holding the Torus would also need to be adjustable for a larger Torus.
This Torus has 27 coil positions. 18 coils may be required to get the Rotor both rotating and levitating.
My next attempt may have the coil positions number doubled to 54. The Rotor would then have a very concentrated doubling of magnetic flux with 72 Poles, to get the Rotor levitating.

A front and above view. The Torus circularity is a bit poor, but Blender takes a bit of time to learn. A Torus Machine would need to be near perfect in this respect.
The next Torus build would see the web pieces around the inner and outer circumference eliminated. Some other method of attaching the upper and lower halves will need to be found. This would enable the entire machine to be wrapped in coils. When shorted, these extra coils should provide more electrodynamic lift.
