[Xblow23]

You are not right. The ball doesn't have constant speed, it has constant acceleration. So V = 2.14 m/s (and acceleration a=12.12). So the energy must be multiplied by 4.

And WTF the mass is 1.5*10^(-5)? May be you meant it weights 150 g = 1.5^(-2) kg?

But the video is interesting =D

try lubricate the path the ball goes

[Emeengor]

@Xblow23 speed is measured by distance divided by the total time needed for this distance or u=x/t were u=speed,x=distance,t=time in S.I u is meters per second (m/s) thus x is in meters and t in seconds.

the total energy Etotal of the ball equals to the sum of its kineric energy K + its dynamic energy U or Etotal=K+U => Etotal=1/2m*u^2+1/2Dx^2 wereD a constand though at the beging of movement speed u=umax and the dynamik energy equals to 0

also this small sphere could be 1.5*10^-5 kgr

Try to take video at least with 60 fps. Put ruler under the ball. Then you can measure position at defferent frames. Ecah frame @60fps has about 15 ms. So you should be able get Position(time), speed(time) and you will get acceleration. Very intresting launcher!!

0:40 four* ?

@mysql0 "I wasn't responding to your joke...

I was responding to your logically flawed and incorrect comment trying to imply that this invention is useless."

Oh, you mean his joke?

[Armourix]

@FlipJick using this magnetic design you can generate massive amounts of energy with little cost it appears. more use than smacking a credit card.

[Thekidwhofailsalot]

now make this 100x bigger and see what it can do

[SuperFulltone]

but i think we didnt see the ball going down the rail enough...

[SuperFulltone]

dat is so coul

Screw gravity!
