Working SMOT ramp from Tom Ferko ?

Hi Dean,

Your idea about putting a magnet on each end of the rotating shaft and one with like polarity on the fixed rod stop plate sounds great!      

Maybe I can use a cone shape magnet for the rod shaft ends and a small ring magnet on the shaft end plates.   Naturally the cone magnets tip should be repeled within the inner diameter of the small ring magnet and the rod shaft now would always center itself.  

Then virtually no friction other than the air around any rotating shaft would exist.      I will have to look into that.   Tom

what a useful and maybe helpful idea from, dean!!!  my apologise sir!  i am sorry for ever doubting you.

lol, and happy holidays to all

For those that want a fancier levitating pencil look at this toy called the Strobe Revolution.

Same principle as the pencil but this one has LEDs that flash as it spins. The LEDs are powered by a couple of button cells in the axial. Cool effect and a nice desk top conversation piece I got as a gift a few years ago.. Now if you could just keep it spinning

Hi Guys,

For many years I have been looking at permanent magnets as a source of energy that might be converted to mechanical rotating motion.   A self powered motor.

Well I had been looking at the forest to long and never at the trees in front of me. 

I took another look at a certain magnetic characteristic of a huge ceramic ring magnet that I brushed off in the past.   I just started the (large)magnetic levitated pencil setup and that pointed me in the direction I am now headed.

I just found something that  I am now trying that might result in a self powered model car using nothing but permanent magnets, wood, brass screws, plastic, and non ferrous axel rods.

I actually got a large ring magnet to turn "Continously" with great  power by working it a certain way.  NO magnetic tracks are used whatsoever.  I hope to convert the idea into car wheel power.

Now I am constructing a small test vehical to put the idea in and see if it will self propel on any surface and any direction -- linear or circular.   Uphill will be the real test.

If it works so be it -- if it doesnt I wont be dissapointed as failure is nothing new in quest of free energy.   I should have the whole thing ready within a week and find out what happens.

Once again if it works I will make a movie showing all.  If it works it will make the Perendev motor look like old hat.  Uses only 4 magnets.

Unbelievable!    Tom

Tom, why did you remove your original SMOT video from Google Video?
I don't see how you could seriously think that it could not be set up in a circular fashion.
