Working SMOT ramp from Tom Ferko ?

no.  More like 5 to 10 minutes depending on how smooth and fast you can spin it.

It'll be very intersting if you can post a video.

It is basically just a frictionless magnetic bearing.

Hi Guys, 

I have many huge ring magnets and since this simple demonstration works using nothing but a pencil and 6 small ring magnets I will give it a try with my huge 4.5 inch diameter ring magnets and a long wood dowel rod.  Maybe the setup can be used as a motor!

The pencil you see is levitated and actually spins by itself -- no tricks.

this idea well go great with the TWO-STAGE MECHANICAL OSCILLATOR by Mr. Mikovic (http://www.veljkomilkovic.com/OscilacijeEng.html)

@konduct,

That's correct. Will be interesting to see with a pencil close to 1kg as Finsrud's steel ball. How long will such pencil spin. I'm thinking in terms of Finsrud's device. If the 1kg pencil stops spinning sooner than couple of tens of minutes this may be a clue probably that Finsrud's machine, working for days sometimes, isn't just an efficient redistributor of the initially imparted energy. Just a thought.
