Ball magnet on copper rail

This is a sort of pendulum like thing.
A 10mm magnet (N,S) ball swings over a copper rail.
It runs on the solar SS1CC circuit in the shadow.

@theonelinerkid Hi there,

No. The coil is connected to the SS1CC circuit and it is powered by a solar cel

Great idea. I would like to duplicate your work. Would you mind asking what is the inside diameter of coil?

Hi . i measured 17mm inside coil,but the best is to make it as small as possible. The better it fits the stronger the forces are on the magnetic ball. so it swings more. If you got it ready, maybe you post a video of it? Have fun with it. (i uses 0.1mm copper wire)
