  • "Enter test here" it says but how to enter any text? Impossible...

  • This will interest everybody, I promise, I have plenty more where this came from, I collect them, Hydrogen experiments as well, I love to share notes, no money involved, just people helping each other, I plan to hopefully get a return from doing further R&D and building the complex designs for people.

    Drop me a line if you can't find it

    All the best, happy experimenting.

  • I liked your magnet experiments, it's a shame you stopped.

  • @tradur1 Thanks for the comment, I'd love to keep on experimenting but life and money get in the way. If I ever find a way to make some money I will return to this and a few other ideas.

    Dan.

  • i would like to build one, is it a magnetized steel ball , and are the little magnets all faced with the same polarity or do they alternate n-s . thoughts please thank you in advance.

  • @Sliverinski Yes they are all facing the same way, the magnets are 5mm cubes, space the pairs about 5-10mm apart. The ball is magnetized. Have fun.

    Dan

  • wow...this is cool can you make some ladder to it? and continue ?

  • @maxinpains You can make it longer and I have done u bends etc You cant make it loop though.

  • @djburke135

    guess need some extra energy then.... thanks for reply.

  • mY MAN! THATS THE WAY TO THINK! SIMILER TO A MAG-LEV TRAIN IS WHAT THIS IS.......

  • YES!

  • maybe at the right time a copper piece could help in breking the field so it drops with gravity. as copper is non magnetic

  • @yourroaddog The problem is that at the end of the magnetic field the ball is pulled to a stop and you can't release it without providing extra energy. I have tried gravity at that source but I could never get it to work reliably.

  • Hmmmm 5 months later la lala

  • You are simply misunderstanding what you are looking at here. The magnets are not responsible for launching the ball up the track at all.

    The only reason the ball rolls up the track is because you put it there. The position that you put the ball in gives it potential energy with respect to the first magnet on the track. The first magnet yanks the ball forward, converting the potential energy associated with the magnetic attraction into the kinetic energy of the moving ball.

  • Once the ball passes the first magnet, all of the other magnets are doing nothing with respect to speeding up the ball. The other magnets are simply keeping the ball on the track. There are also delaying the "sticky point" so that it is at the end of the track associated with the last magnet.

    When the ball is going up the track, it is slowing down to overcome gravity, but we can't see it. The energy to get the ball moving came from the first magnet, which came from were you placed the ball

  • When you finally take the ball off of the track with your hands, you pull the ball away from the magnetized track and reestablish the state of potential energy between the ball and the first magnet on the track. You have "cocked the spring" and to release the spring all that you have to do is position the ball at the bottom of the track.

    If you make the full track circuit, you will find that it does not work, just like Mother Nature intended.

  • Its still not clear can u explain it bit illustrative baking with laws of magnetisms and mechanics? coz i have another senario and things seem bit confusing..

    Imagine the same setup with N(more than 1000) number of magnets. As we know each magnet works as an accelarator so after N-1 magnet speed of steel ball'll be very high & after Nth magnet it'll b so high that its impossible for magnetic force to stop the ball! Is this possible? Theoriticaly Yes but practically;we need to figure out!! mbm

  • I am quiting myself: "Once the ball passes the first magnet, all of the other magnets are doing nothing with respect to speeding up the ball. "

    Each magnet after the first magnet does not act as an accelerator. Each magnet in the line of magnets first pulls forward on the ball to speed it up as it approaches, and then pulls backwards on the ball as it leaves the magnet, for a net gain of zero.

    With a very large number of magnets, the ball keeps slowing down until it stops.

  • Yes BUT....... YOU DONT OPERATE A DEVICE LIKE THIS ON A CLOSED LOOP CIRCUIT....... SORRY BUT IM GONNA SHOOT DOWN YOU BIG 2 PARAGRAPH NEGATIVITY WITH ONE SENTANCE (GENIOUS LIES IN SIMPLICITY). YOU DONT USE A CLOSED LOOP, YOU GO FROM POINT "A" IN NEW YORK, TO LA WICH IS POINT "B", THIS MY FRIEND IS THE OPPOSITE, AN OPEN LOOP CIRCUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • Excellent stuff, if you continue the rail back down at an angle, will the ball bearing fall away from the magnet rail due to its momentum ? Also, please see my latest vid magnet gravity motor, you might have enough bits to build it

  • Yes it does. Doesn't produce much useful power.

  • are you for real. it actually rotate on its own? come on.

  • then remove the metal,make a circle with wood (do some math), heat the platic with a touch slowly and form it to the circle.once youget the circle complete epoxy the ends, and remove wood reinforce with another peice of plastic.

  • Yes thats a good tip, I have played with using a metal frame to hold the magnets whilst the glue dries on the plastic ring, it seems to work. I'll show result next week.

    Dan

  • just a thought but when you get the magnets, try placing them on a peice of plasctic lets say 1x15 them place a peice of sheet metal thesame size rite under it.Arrange the magnets the way you want them,epoxy(autozone) the magnets to the plastic

  • what would happen if you made acompletecircle of that?

  • Well, I will be building a circular version of this very soon, takes quite alot of magnets and is very fiddlely to get the magnets to stay in the right place but we will see. I'll post more video in a week or two.
