@kren2012 Wrong... No one has made something with magnets that will continue to spin... It would defy the laws of physics and thermodynamics.... although I would hope to see one, but doesn't look good.
Is it necessary to stack so many magnets? Can the effect be the same if the magnets are mounted at differents heights thus incrementally increasing the strenght through the length of the track?
I wonder if we could place some magnetic viewing paper in such a way that we could see the magnetic field lines in motion as the steel ball accelerates, use some sort of time laps photography.
I think it is for demonstration of the various methods to show kinetic force at different angels of attack. I think Gilles actually is the first one that made that style of linear track which works pretty good and has good field strength.

Apply this to a wheel with many balls on it and it will continue to spin. I get what you are saying. nice job.

Wow! you have discovered magnetism.
But I'm sorry to tell you that you are several hundred years too late.

I know little about these things but onthecuttingedge2005's idea to visualize the magnetic field as the ball travels sounds very interesting.
Perhaps the ball could be held at various heights with a non-magnetic "stick" as a picture is taken of magnetic viewing paper or iron fillings etc?
I question whether the field viewing device is able to react quickly enough to capture what's really happening in real time?

Yes ! for an uniform field !

just put a small curve at the end and a ramp downword s and you will have parpetual motion !!!

This is a great experiment, similar to the ones I've done at an undergrad physic lab, decades ago.
Really to see what is fully happening here, one must see the full spectral effects in the magnetic realm.
What I see is a version of the Searle Effect.
Since most people dont know what they're witnessing here I tend to ignore all the previous comments.

Thanks Gilles, wonderful demo!

thanks my friend ! it's right ! for the moment just some demo ! actually I work on wheel accelerator and try to through the closed magnetic field...

Yeah really it's just a ball speeding upward from magnets.
