Is SMOT an example of overunity??

[Latch]

I think so. It seems to take a ball in one kinetic state move it vertically and horizontally then returned to the same kinetic state.
If that is so then why wouldn'ta V-Gate and a DaVince machine should work. It has all the same elements, a ramp, a falling off point, and the magnets to power it.

If you can loop a SMOT it has to be OU even if it is not producing enough excess energy to run anything but itself, because when you factor in friction and other losses if it is still self running then it is OU.  And nobody can argue otherwise.

A SMOT is no different than picking up a steel ball and dropping it. No OU at all.

A SMOT that could self loop would be overunity. However no one has ever produced one that can and theory predicts that they cannot.

There is no arrangement of permanent magnets alone that can give rise to an excess energy over a closed cycle.

The steelball in a SMOT is moving by natural causes. It is not over unity, and will never be.
