  • What will you give me for it, and shipping?

  • Well, most of the model is printed from CAD models generated with Solidworks, using a Stratasys Dimension 3d printer. The side are machined polycarbonate. The base tubes are just polished aluminum rods. The magnets are 1/4" dia x 1/8" thick and were ordered on line. I don't remember where. The bearings are skateboard bearings with the seals removed to reduce friction. Hope this helps.

  • very good !but can you try to use a steel bar not a magnet cylinder

  • I'll try that, Thanks.

  • Cheak my video to improve your design

  • Pyrolytic graphite is the key to blocking the sticky spot!

  • Oh, and can that machine pre-drill the holes for the magnets? If so, I'd probably want one continuous, more gradual v-track instead of three.

  • That depends, how much does it cost to make a wheel? With or without magnets? How many wheels? I'd pay roughly 20 bucks for 1 wheel without magnets, and the shipping, of course.

  • I'd like to buy a/the wheel (or the whole thing) if you're selling. With or without the magnets. :)

  • I know you haven't been on in a while, but I was wondering if you could go through your materials: where you got them and how you put them together. Pretty please. :)

  • Yea too bad magnetic fields dont actually push or pull on eachother... Ever noticed how the repultion feels more like it is trying to wist around? well it is. It wants t ospin around and merge it's field with the other magnet's field. It is not much different from if you had two rooms with different air pressures in them and opened the door between them. You get a sudden burst of energy then the two forces reach equilibrium and stop doing any thing.
