New magnetic-gravity motor chasing its tail from Tom

So he just uses 2 sphere magnets now.....which i have...all i need is a design to replicate.

Yes, One other "bit" is The 3/8 -16 Titanium rod ,I believe "Susy" is still in the Mix {the reccomended Hole size in the first description above].

PS
I love "No electronics"!!
Gentlemen ,its time to Start Playing with your Spheres [Neo's].

Let's hope Toms camcorder works. What we need now is a video of the d..mn thing.

I have to say this part sounds intriguing

Now since the runner magnet is not mounded in the exact center of the lazy susan it should turn the lazy susan.platform. Notice as it is turning the heavy huge ring magnet is also TILTING, TURNING, and pushing the runner magnet along.

The runner magnet can not excape this becuase it is ALWAYS GOING TO BE UNDER THE HEAVY UMBRELLA OF THE RING MAGNET SEEKING THE EASY PATH TO EXCAPE. THE LAZY SUSAN TABLE WILL TURN IN THAT DIRECTION.

THE 45 DEGREE MOUNTING OF THE RUNNER MAGNET VECTORS SOME OF THE GRAVITY FORCES ( WEIGHT) OF THE RING MAGNET INTO TURNING THE LAZY SUSAN PLATFORM.

Post where you see fit.

You commented that a new vid was up [which dissapeared]
Was the "new vid" the device described above??
Did it have Spheres?

Thanks

This is the one I was working on. I have not built anything yet but in the simulator I found a way to omit the gravity part. There is an interesting effect if the ball pivot point is at the correct distance from the magnet as this can be used as the vector point of two forces. At this point, it takes nothing to tilt the magnet and drive the rotor.

Just something to think about.
