  • i'd like to know where you got the track from

  • Go to Amazon and search for Skyrail......

  • have you tried using four on each? you might be able to get it to circle twice

  • I did try several combinations but found the effect only works when there are no ball bearings on the impact side of the magnet.

  • AWESOME! Nice idea of using it as a track

  • where does the ball bearing pickup that extra energy??

  • holy cheese ive been lookin for these magnets for ages wered u get them please respond with a @ before my account name u know what i mean right?

  • Sweet!

  • @sdense That is because the ball that shoots off has the same speed as the previous ball did at the moment of impact. The magnetic field accelerates the first ball just as it is about to hit because the magnetic field is at it's full strenth at it's surface. So with a ball keeping the impacting ball further away the acceleration is minimal.

  • Pics or gtfo

  • its not possible to make perpetual motion!

  • also try NIB ball bearing magnets that already magnetic and see if you can get a chain reaction going.
