Working SMOT ramp from Tom Ferko ?

Hi Vidar,

Any ideas such as a tiny electromagnet pulsing at the right time and position to offset the larger working forces as soon as they attempt to equalize.  Then always an imbalance will be present.

If that is possible then a working motor could easily power the smaller controlling electronic device.  If you have a suggestion illustrate it.

Hi All,

Here is an illustration of maybe how a very small electronic pulse circuit could control the larger forces of attraction and allow gravity to pull the ring magnet inside the drum back down to start over again.   

The repulsive electronic pulse should be at the exact same time that the powerfull forces of both ring magnets equalize and take a lockup.

What do you think?   A smaller force controlling a larger force and in the end the larger force could easily power the smaller force if designed correctly.

A small pulse of energy will probably make it work, but this amount of energy will provide as well a small amount of motion. If you can make it work in some kind of resonance mode, the rolling magnet will probably be able to move as much backwards as forward except the small change of energy you're putting in. If the magnets could be controlled like a transistor, by applying very little energy to control high power, this would work. However, it's not (yet) possible to control  magnetism that way.

Hi all,

Here is my drum track idea.

The best to date and I have the items to make it.


Letter to follow will explain all.

This letter explains the drum track idea. By the way the drum --will turn-- a while back I got one full rev with great ease each and every time.

I used only one large external ring magnet shown in the fixed magnet position then.   With the extra ring magnet on its own tracking seperatly inside the drum now it should be a different story I hope.    Open for comment on this.
