  • it looks cool .. but i think u should fill half of that close-wine-cup looking thing with water... this way the sphere would move freely without touching the surface of the cup

  • it magnet could be perff. in structurer

    balance the little oil u put =but less rpm a,d the prm you are getting now

    is scary i cant conseave the kinetic

    e/ freez mag or get some[ blank crs]..........................­............. nitrogen

    guy b =zz

  • That looks really good!! You are the second person I have seen that is getting this to work with a bifilar coil NOT made from magnet wire. I have had my eye on a coil of speaker hookup wire that radio shack sells that just might work. Thanks.

  • Hi Lidmotor, and thank you! Your work has been an inspiration to me, I'm honoured to be able to assist you.

    I think my extra-large coil makes it more difficult to keep my magnets balanced and controlled, they like to go crazy and fly away (to the nearest metal object). I tried a saturn-style combo like yours... AWESOME but totally scary - mine accelerated out of control and it has a lot of momentum. I'll get a vid for you sometime.

  • Nice demo.

  • Thank you ACG! I really like your coilgun application as well. Some really neat stuff there.

  • use glass and some oil

  • Hi JB! I've had a difficult time finding appropriate testing materials... busted a shot glass in 2 seconds, LOL, so until I can get a good concave mirror kinda thing, I'm stuck with the cheap plastic. There is a little bit of vegetable oil in the cup, and now I have a similar enclosure for the large magnet. Should probably use a better oil... hehe

    thanks!!

  • nice, but one question...

    Where's the red launch button?

  • hehehe wait for version 2.0...

    actually those little neo spheres get a lot of momentum and can spin around the inner circumference of the cups super fast... I was thinking of putting a tube coming off the 'equator' with a hole covered by a 'trap-door' on the inside which I could open when the sphere is at optimal velocity... and ZOOOOM out she goes!
