And how is this a gun if it gets like 5 FPS?

[frenkystromar]

I is just called "Gaussian Gun" it is not really a gun, doh :D

[Coodude26]

I'm sorry but what was the point of the first 33 seconds?

[frenkystromar]

The point is to show how high the ball would climb without magnets.

Can you make a channel so the balls fall back down and feeds back in so that it can repeat continously?

And, if so, what is keeping you from putting a little windmill contraption as the ball shoots out to convert a little bit of the linear energy into rotational energy?

If you could do this, wouldn't that qualify as a 'free-energy' device, as you would harvest a bit of the energy gain?

I could bring back ball with no problem. But there is already one ball attracted to the magnet. So first this ball should be removed and then effect could be repeated. But it takes a lot of energy to remove the ball that was attracted in the first round.

The big question is:

Is the kinetic energy of the ball that rolls away bigger than energy needed to remove the ball that was attracted to the magnet?

[cornflakemad]

those would be the ones

though cilvilion magnets (ones u buy online and from stores) tend to shatter easily

[ahc25wn6]

dya mean neodymium or sumtin?

[GMenSB42]

where do u get the small magnets in between the balls?

[cornflakemad]

it is a gaussian launcher

gaussian refering to magnets

it is like newtons cradle, the magnet pulls the ball bearing towards it, then the kinetic engergy is transfered to the far bearing which is released at a high velosity.

these along with rail guns are the future of wepons tech

if u want to make one, you have to use neyodium (cant spell lol) magnets.

these are super magnets(much stronger than sodium ones) and only these have the power to make this work

order mags from the net
