What if ?

[Low-Q]

Hi, Low Q, the question was "what if"  The scenario is simple.

Someone creates a working SMOT, it is proven to work and lights an LED.

What are the ramifications for the science world ? do some laws of physics get re-written ?

Ah, I see. It would be a bunch of pretty hysterical scientists out there if that was possible to make :-))

Hello Vidar,
Dont see any real problems. Ball rolls out of smot top into cradle on wheel, rolls out of cradle at bottom. Weight of the ball in place of water.

The SMOT isn't the problem, but the person who views it. It is easy to wrongly imagine how things work if one doesn't fully understand all the mechanics involved - and spooky conclusions araise - even religious.

A SMOT is an arrangement of magnets which can lift a ball up a hill. The ball builds up momentum and escapes from the top. So far, no big discovery.
When the ball leaves the top, the ramp will still attract the ball for a moment, and slow down the balls acceleration during its drop.

So then the surprising part:
When the ball approaches the bottom of the ramp again, the magnets arrangement will cause the ball to be magnetized in such a way that it will repel the ramp (in front of the enterance). I have put out a video somwhere here that prooves that the ramp repels the ball before enterance. The sum of these forces (gravitationally and magnetically) will finally in sum give no net force at all - which is not that surprising. No force to spare, no energy to spare.

Even worse who not read before replying.

What is SMOT ?    I don't understand, I thought we are discussing any Ou device and consequences of public disclosure.
I'm fully aware that magnetic field is static but can add force to already acting one.  The momentum gain can be used to mechanically change the path of movement and thus a limitless move based on gravity and magnetism is possible.
