Building a self looping "SMOT"

[TinselKoala]

I believe this is a fraud in the making.

'elecar' make have discovered a way to loop a SMOT a few times by giving the ball some gravitational potential energy to start with , but it will stop once friction bleeds that excess away. Interestingly this would probably work better without the magnet in place.

His description of on-going self-looping is pure fantasy in my opinion.

Post a video of it working or withdraw your claim. You have nothing to loose as your patent application is sufficient IP protection already, if it works.

Exactly.

So in this case the "proof of concept experiment" is defined by a static magetic ball rolling uphill towards a Ceramic magnetic array and at some point rolling back down free of that array back to where it started,[with no moving parts other than the ball]??

are you saying this can't be done as described by the inventor?

...unless, of course, the experiment is wrong.

A video showing the self loop in action over a reasonable period of time, would seem an obvious way to provide evidence for the claim.

Note that Feynman's statement applies to YOUR theory as much as it does to mine!

Experiment trumps theory, as I've been telling students for decades!
