CLaNZeR Halbach Experiments 4

[superstitionadd]

What would happen if you made an endless Halbach array by repeating the pattern of magnets over and over instead of placing 2 or more arrays end on end? On Visimag it seems to create a longer monopole so maybe the sticky patches that you are encountering are the extra magnets on the end of each array causing a like-like and upsetting the continuity of the array.

genius thats the way should work traffic cars on autopilot

[Hamysa]

PLEASE put the tiny car in the middle of the triangular array and let it go. There in the middle, balance is supposed to exists. If it will move away, THAT will prove there is a real motion force in the array. Putting the car at the end of array, as shown in the video, will just benefit of the usual magnetic atraction.

And please, shoot it and upload, if possible. Thank you in advance. :)

if you make a circle whit the triangular on both side and you put a weel in the middle whit your truck stuff ... look like you get your self an engine pretty clever but still need to test

[yosemite4000]

wonder if you could make it go back and forth but i cant imagine how itd work maybe:

who knows lol

[fanblade000]

How would this be useful though? It produces almost no measurable torque.

[klebbs1988]

@fanblade000 the first steam engine diddnt either, learn to think outside the box..

[ian5576]

@fanblade000 If it produced anything beyond the initial 'magnetic spring' that would be a Very significant discovery regardless of output, however there is nothing more going on here than the initial 'pull' by the magnets followed by a release of that pull, with the car eventually coming to rest.

If he put more of these 'halbach emitters' together it would perform about equally, even in a vacuum and adding low friction bearings to the car.

[seansalvador1]

Why? due to the second law of thermodynamics. The entropy will increase and the initial energy that is put in at the human placing the ball will eventually run down... it will be lost to the environment ar friction, noise etc. even if it were perfectly elastic the second law precludes the perpetual motion of the ball. Physics 101

[seansalvador1]

You are putting in the energy whenyou place the thing!

Idiotic...

[egysrac17]

Magnets are not eternal, they lose their strength after some thousand years.

[VederchiHarry]

If You build this kind of array in a large circle... would it go on for ever?

[seansalvador1]

@VederchiHarry

No.

[jemmani22]

@seansalvador1 why wouldn't it?

[sssgg89]

what are you setting the magnet arrangemnts in. They look like plastic boxes. Did you make these specially to fit?

[kukulcangod]

do you have resistance at the start of the gate? and at the end?

[farplenorp]

This was a sweet video. I like the progression of building on an idea and following it through. I also like the subtle reference to DNA models in the tri-gates. Great Music too! Keep it up, don't give up.

[agentbullvi]

great music.

[onthecuttingedge2005]

a plastic tube placed over linear rail magnets seems to work the best, the magnet ball needs a track long enough track to attain escape velocity, once the escape velocity is known then it is much easier to figure things out.

[onthecuttingedge2005]

All it takes is the proper escape velocity to escape a magnetic field, Magnetic launchers made right can allow optimum velocity only if they are long enough to build up that escape velocity. the magnets need to be oriented correctly for optimum field reaction. a plastic tube works rather well as a track, place said magnets underneath plastic tube.

[lillahedi]

is this smot an effect?

[onthecuttingedge2005]

Some call it a S.M.O.T or Simple Over Unity Toy or some just call it a magnetic launcher.

[shubus]

Try breaking the extended Halbach arrays up with spaces between them. If that cogging at the end of the run could be overcome then you'd really have something.
