  • yeah. I got it. only one ramp and the end is lower. The only energy gained is by the change in elevation. sooo sorry i dont like to be the bad guy but this is a trick.

  • @Horribleengineer "the only energy gained is elevation" this is not enough for you?

  • JR81472, the ball is a stainless steel ball. The track is alluminium from an old badmington racket. The magnets are simple latch magnets I bought loads of. Truth is standard science states "magnets don't do work".. which is true, but what they do is allow for "momentum carry", or to put it another way, for the lenth of the gate the magnets will continue the original momentum... the longer the gate, the longer the momentum can be continued... Anyways... Bill.

  • dude, totally hurry up and build a circular version and then post it!

  • @johnshepherd2011 already done by another guy on youtube.

  • @amermahdy70 who? what channel?

  • @johnshepherd2011 youtube.com/user/XxWhoopiexX

    his comment is somewhere down in comments.

  • is this a magnet Ball or just a metal ball?

    Thanks

  • I'm afraid you've missed the point of what the SMOT is MYSQ10.. so I'll give a brief synopsis... In a nutshell the SMOT is a 'magnetic gate', for this gate to be of use you must be able to OPEN and CLOSE it with NO energy input beyond the initial start-up cost. Ball enters gate as it goes up the ramp, and exits the gate as its drops off under the pull of gravity at the top... OPEN/CLOSE.... thats all a SMOT is. cheers bill.

  • Why is the starting ramp higher than the ending ramp?

    For this to work, the surface should be flat (yes i know it is) and the start and end ramp should be the same level (which they aren't)

  • Hi Whoopie. I've just started a new job so the second stage of this is on hold until sunday, but I'm not trying to series this up, obviously (and as you've proved) it works. What I'm going to do is a one ramp run-around and back to itself, to do this I need quite a lot of lift, maybe 1.25inches, before drop.... But it will work. Bill

  • Hello,

    yes, you can connect 6 - 8 of this in series. But then the ball stops. I have built 16 ramps in series. Look at my videos. Best regards

  • thats not perpetual perpetual means it moves based on gravity and will not stop becuase of it

  • if you allow the ball to use gravity to let it go down the curved ramp then into the next incline you break the circle which will allow for the ball to move perpetually around the tracks think of building the device inside a room and along the walls the tracks incline and at the corners u can let the ball freefall ina tub e with a curve ramp on bottom feeding it into the next incline. or keep the ball on the track and curve the track at each corner thank you i hope u make it. it will work

  • video is great but make a longer straight track going up then have a curved track going down that feeds it into another magnet ramp. im 100 percent sure u can create perpetual motion like that. so you would combine 4 straight magnet ramps that decline at top then bend in the middle on the decline using the force of gravity to feed it into the next ramp.with a little tweaking it could be designed to power buildings. dont try for a circle that is where all fail.

  • Don't use Aluminum it will work against you. Whats the arrangement of the magnets?

  • @ibpointless2 --- Been busy lately. I achieved a fair bit of lift with this simple little project. Magnets CAN do work, contrary to what modern physics say. I used a N to N arrangement, creating a pole on pole flux gate, which the ball simply is sucked into and gravity prevents from hitting the ' sticky point ' and the end of the gate.

  • Starting work on v.1.1 tomorrow, basically been meaning to but been busy. My equations indicate that the magnetic gate does do work, or else, simply put the ball wouldn't arrive at the end for gravity to pull it down. There is no way in physics a ball will roll up a hill unless there is a power source propelling it, and as you can see from video v.1.1, its doing it all on its own!!! Back soon.....

  • what ever happened to this project? you still working on this?

  • @ZarrenV -------- Gonna re-start the project in next couple of days. Been meaning too for ages, never quite got round to it.

  • Yes, a steel ball bearing. Alluminium track. Crude at the moment, have extra magnets now. Beginning next phase.

  • nice, i assume that the ball a steel one , right ?
