SMOT

[PaulLowrance]

Greg's test is riddled with problems.  Also I have searched through all the files at his forum and see no data for the second test which is measuring the ball falling from a SMOT without magnets.  In other words, I would also need to see the data of the ball falling from a ramp that has no magnets.

I know there are people here who have a smot and access to a video camera.  Could you please just do two simple tests ->

1. Of the ball being pulled up the ramp by the magnets and then falling at least 1 foot.
2. Of the ball at the top of the ramp without any magnets on the ramp and the ball falling at least 1 foot.

If this is OU or FE then don't you want to know?  I sure do.

Thanks,
Paul

I have built a smot using a smaller size steel ball about 5mm in diameter. I have the ball travel inside a u shapped alum rod instead of on top of the edges. I use very strong magnets and can get the ball to go up the 8" ram at a 40% angle. This gives me a drop of about 2 inches.
I  drop the ball into a 1" ID clear plastic tube that has 3 levels each one slightly lower than the last so that the ball moves down hill to the start of the smot where it "drops" into the u channel. It pulls up to the top but because my magnets are so strong I have been unable so far to exit the end. In other words I can get 95% around and up the ramp. The tube is about 18" in diameter.
Forget the math and the theories build the damn thing it either works or it dosn't.

Hi Bill,

I have yet to build a smot but I read (from Greg and others) some info on it in other forums as follows:

1) Make the upper part of the ramp shorter (about 0.5 -- 1.5cm less) than the length of the side magnets  and/or
2) Try holding a separate magnet with correct pole near the area where the steel ball is supposed to drop down (make sure the extra magnet would not catch the ball) and /or
3 Try using magnetic shunt at the upper part of the ramp to reduce magnetic strength at the very ends (such shunt is like an U shaped iron piece with nonmagnetic spacers to adjust the effectiveness of the shunt).
4) Maybe you can keep larger distance between the two side magnets to make magnetis field-strength less strong at the upper ends of the ramp.

Why?  There are nearly countless free energy machines.  The SMOT has one of the all time lowest possibilities of any OU or FE.   I would much rather spend my time with another machine such as Tom's MEG.

Yes, I hear you.  For a lot of people it is like living a science fiction adventure movie.  There is nothing wrong with that, but it is also healthy to live in reality.  In other words, if a person is truly seeking FE or OU then chose your machine wisely.

Paul,

Your oppinions on this device are more than noted.  I do not see anything constructive comming from your rants against SMOTs.  There are people pursuing this and that is as it should be.  Modify what doesn't work until it does.  If people dropped everything after the first few attempts, we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are today. 

It occurs to me that you will not look further down this alley and you convictions lie elsewhere.  That is good.  We should, as a people, be pursuing diverse projects.  Apply your passion where it is strongest and you will make the most of your contribution to science.  To denegrate others for doing the same, merely because your pasisons do not match theirs is counter to this diversity.  When you, or someone else, makes a breakthrough then post that and the rest of us will take notice.  A few people who are passionate about finding something, anything, that works will follow on that success.  There will be others, though, whose conviction will be too strong to be led off of whatever project they are working on, thus maintaning the diversity of our research.

If you want to remind new-commers about your oppinion that this device does not work and will never work, then start a thread entitled "SMOT's suck" or something, or you can host a web page warning people away from research in that area.  Of course doing that will only lump you in to the group of many that claim that research into <insert field here> will never lead to anything new. 

Do the independent work that you are inspired to do, but trust others to follow their own muse.  If something isn't working, then offer fixes, if you don't have any fixes, telling people to abandon their project entirely is not helpful and can actually be quite offensive. 

Thanks
