  • how to manage the Timing of the Magnet to Catch the Ball when it is accurately at rest in the END...Just this Much Please ???

    it is important Please tell Soon.

  • @melad786 Actually it was mostly by chance that it worked out, however it is possible to adjust the speed of the elevator motor by adding or removing batteries (increasing or decreasing voltage) This particular motor runs on anything between 3v and 12v. The closer to 12v the faster it goes.

  • my friend and I are building a roller coaster like yours! could we have your e-mail to ask you a few questions please!?

  • I'm going to do that ...

  • i love this video

  • Aww man, I first I thought you had figured out a way to make it move solely on magnetic force. But nice video nonetheless. :)

  • @SystematicChaos2112 U could use some gears to lower the RPM but increase the torque. Have it go to a large gear, that will increase the torque.

  • what kind of motor did you use? I'm having trouble finding one with low rpm but high torque. All the one's im finding are in china :( but then again, I suck at finding things. Any help you have to offer regarding finding a good motor would be helpful. thx

  • @TheMystery7314 Sorry mate, not much, was my mate Rob and I having a conversation, a bit worse for wear. Like your post, that's all.

  • @SkinandSketch mate, just what the hell has that got to do with my post? :P

  • @TheMystery7314 how about dropping hot glass from a certain height into hot water? they aint glass you dick head they're made with metal, its got a magnet in it.
