maybe its just backwards and you should keep the speaker magnet stationary and the let what is the innerpart here move around the magnet. maybe a circle is the wrong shape. maybe a triangle ring would create a magnetic field pattern that provides continuous movement around the stationary magnet.

@sydfan526 Thankyou for your advice. I have a better design using some shielding and a wider opening at the point where the round magnet re enters the gap to allow less resistance to the momentum it has built up, but there is still the attractive force that keeps slowing down the momentum as it crosses the gap. If a load were put on this device it would stop at this point. I will try your design idea, Thanks again.

did u get this working?

@MrPSNdaz1182 Thankyou for your most helpful comment. I will try what you have suggested. I do have another arrangment that has been much more successful but there is always room for improvement on any device. I just can't find the proper shape magnets that I need .

thanks for your comments. I did try non ferrous metals and plastic. the magnet that you see running around is actually on a round speaker magnet. I was trying to get enough momentum going to break one magnetic field and to enter the other side of the field. No luck yet. Im working on another video with a side shot and a magnetic shielding method that looks promising. thanks for watching.

Did you ever get that hole plugged? :D

[magneticmotorfun]

I did get the hole plugged., but the magnet wouldn't go around at all. Still working on a solution if there is any. I think maybe I'll try the radus boots switching method that I found on Tom bearden's web site. Thanks for watching. Will update in the future.

did you span the gap with plastic? Oh and how about a side shot of the experiment.

[AdminOnDuty]

The gap is necessary to create a field differential. The force of the magnet needs to accelerate your mover to the point that it's momentum will carry it over the gap. A nonmagnetic track (plastic etc.) can be used to span the gap and give the mover a surface to roll on. Because of the field changes, you will also need to prevent the mover from flipping near the gap - perhaps a channel in this area? Could a larger radius provide higher acceleration? Or would the added track add resistance?
