Sean CLaNZeR's Hamel Spinner 2

in hammels theory the setup shouldnt be static but should oscillate as a part of a larger system four levels deep.

If this experiment proves anything it would be that conservation laws are accurate. The magnets slow down the initial linear motion of the falling ball and give it back as the spinning motion you can observe. If you hold the magnets with your hands it doesn't count because they can never be completely steady and that means you're continuously adding energy to the system. If the magnets support is steady, the ball will eventually come to a stop.

it will come to a standstill, so it's useless

Have you tried suspending the ring with a string so it can freely oscillate?

Are those diametric magnets? or is the marking just so we can easily see the rotation?

Love the music...
