I don't understand why you don't put a guide rail system ot a guide-cam on the single actuarial magnet.
You know, like the crankshaft of a car enging or the cam rod does for lifting the valves?
Wouldn't that work?
-
just a thought:
why don't you use 4 engines like this on a single rod, shifted in angle by 90* each... this way, when one of the wheels passes by the static magnet, there will be 3 other wheels that don't, and this should compensate for that gate... I don't have the means to test this, but the principle is the same as in a 4 cilinder engine: while a piston tends to halt, the other 3 pistons push it further... I'd like you to do this and to post a video if I was right ;)

Good on you, guy!! Keep it up!!

It is going to be very difficult to figure out how to get by the gate. A cam on the wheel with a pull magnet on a track will not work, to much friction. I agree that the wheel might have to have more mass. Maybe momentum will be able to push it through.
Good luck on future models.

so where did you get those magnets? cuz i'm having a hard time finding those types of magnets.

Set a mechanism up on the V Gate motor and you can have it run itself. You could very well have a nice table piece if you get it running on its own.
-
You should try connecting 2 of them to the sam rod-set the gates on opposite sides-maby the power provided by the second disc could get the first past the 'gate' and vice-versa

Your a legend man i thought of something somewhat simler using magnets and also a weight to take advantage of gravity but seeing this has just sent my mind in a different direction keep it up.
-
What if you make the "V" wider? By doing this, would it make one full revolution faster? With a little more speed, you might beable to hop the gate?

Have you tried adding more stator magnets (say, 5-6)?
The are just stuck in. I drilled holes with a 1/4" drill bit and pressed them in. Nothing to tech, the rubber of the wheel holds them tight.
