@Zarrykotter You'd need to keep increasing the strength of each magnet if you wanted the ball to continue more than 360o Because there is a constant loss of energy like StebBack said /|\ up there. Than eventually the ball would stop at the most powerful magnet... now if you could work out someway to ONLY engage the magnet in front of the ball you might be on to something.

it is the best
-
@elizahadriantiong No you can't, because there are always tiny losses due to friction, sound (the clang-clang noise we hear as it traverses), air resistance, etc. Because these are energy losses, it means the ball doesn't have enough energy to get back to where it started, which is why the ball in this video doesn't *quite* make it back to where it started.
Very close though, very impressive. :)
-
hey it will be a wonderful thing if you can make the ball travel endlessly with just permanent magnet. can you???
-
@vaughanify Um, a few magnets AND gravity...
-
I don't think there is such thing as permanent magnets... but it looks cool! XD
-
WOW!

In Theory, The velocity of the ball would increase substanteously given that the mass of the ball and the power of the magnets would be great enough. Now then, im only 14, and yet cant fit into my head why this doesnt work. it makes SENSE that every action consumes energy in which must come from either a potential or "Stored" source, or from a direct source like a push. The Friction would inevitably call the ball to a stop, but if the force of the magnets would be enough, wed have infinite power
-
@saxplayingcompnerd but can you return it to its original position without an external force being applied to it?
-
@vaughanify Gravity is effective over the entire width of the universe and is produced by all concentrations of matter. Electromagnetic fields...not so much. In either case, the question is, how do you harness this to provide "work"?

I can make a ball roll downhill without magnets. Impressive looking but i think gravity is more efficient.

I don't get the hate for this video, it is literally what it advertises: A ball travels 360 degree circle, utilising the power of magnets to traverse the upward phase of its journey.
That's it. its a curious novelity, nothing more.
