Building a self looping "SMOT"

[Michael Q Shaw]

Don't listen to a Newbie like me, all of you professors know everything there is to know somehow.

I know this wouldn't technically be overunity, but has anyone though of using the curie point as a mechanism to help past the sticking point? Just look up the 'nickel curie point motor' video on youtube. It was just a thought anyways....

There is no sticky point when you exit through the width.  it drops right out.  Just the proof anyways...TinselKoala, Oh, your name is so cute.

Curie point?...Whatever.  Air Force Energy...Whatever, Air Force Energy, does not believe me!

Think about what you just said to me, I have been wrong before, yes I am human, but I feel that it is you that is wrong this time around TinselKoala.  When you hammer in a nail, you are doing the work with the muscles in your arm and using your energy.  In my example, the Juno spacecraft is not connected to any arm or muscles, it is in the vacuum of space...with nothing connected to it at all, so the only correct response is that gravity did the work when it increased its velocity while it sling-shot using earths gravity, not Earth's arm.  Saying otherwise is only lying to ourselves. That is what actually happened, regardless if textbooks (or our equations) agree.

I am so sorry that you are wrong!

That's the magic energy injection that keeps your ball moving onto the next track.  This is hard to visualize.  The gravity field will give you energy when you drop.  Literally, the ball is being sucked out of the magnetic potential energy well when the ball falls.  That is a "magic" injection of energy.  You just have to think about it.  Gravity literally makes your problem go away by pulling the ball out of the well.

When the ball falls it's acceleration is slower than it should be but you can't see it by eye.  You could video it and make measurements, or perhaps something much simpler than that:  If you have a small gram scale that hopefully won't affect the field or be affected by the field, and you slowly lower the ball you will see it's measured weight is lower than it should be as you pull away from the hole.

Height is another energy component in your system.  It applies when the balls are going up the ramp, and it equally applies for the short free fall to the lower ramp.  Height = energy, as simple as that.

So try to imagine an "injection" of energy due to the height drop, and that's why the ball shoots down the next track.  However, one more time the ball is dropping into another magnetic potential energy well at the end of the second track.
