Building a self looping "SMOT"

[TinselKoala]

@TechStuff:

If God tells me he has a SMOT that self loops and runs continuously (if a bit noisily) ....  I am still going to want to see it before I buy it.

Don't you remember Archer Quinn? He spoke of God, too. He even called his non-working wheel the Sword of God. But in the final end, even when people sent him cigarette money and bought him more and more magnets to put on it... it didn't work. Yet, at the beginning, just like elecar, he claimed it did, and that he would teach others how to build it. Just like elecar.

That's where my "tinselkoala" handle comes from, by the way. When I first encountered this forum, someone from Italy had forged my credentials, impersonated my usual handle, even stole my avatar photograph of me illuminating a CFL bulb wirelessly next to a Tesla Coil, and was posting lies in my name. So I couldn't register under my usual handle... so I scrambled the letters again and chose TinselKoala from the results. (It sounded a bit more dignified than "Ali Snotleak" and I wasn't about to be a "silent" koala) ... and it was indeed a poke at the Australian Archer Quinn. He got it, too. Yes, tinsel is flashy, cheap stuff that people hang on Christmas trees, and koalas are nasty buggers with a vile disposition... and Archer Quinn was a fraud, and finally went away, trailing bits of tinsel and suffering from some nasty koala-claw scratches. Where is his "working" Sword of God now? The same place as elecar's self-looping SMOT: in his dreams.

Have you started your swim yet?

"If all is yet not known,then to make a claim that a device powered only by magnet's can never happen-is faulse."

Your logic is faulty. It is a classic "argument from ignorance."

My logic is sound thank you TK.It is yours that is faulty.
How can you say you wont get a flat tyre on your trip,befor you have reached your destination?-maybe you have the power to see into the future?

You missed my point about the God post. My point is ,people choose to believe some things without having hard evidence,and yet need hard evidence to believe in other possabilities.

Quote: and koalas are nasty buggers with a vile disposition...

And where did that conclusion come from?Youtube?
Koalas are quite the opposite,but like all other animal's,will defend them self if threatened.
So what do you believe?,what you have seen on youtube,or what the guy that has been amongst them tells you?.
This is exactly how a wild koala is,unless provoked.But like all animal's,you will get one or two with a bad attitude-and yes,it's on youtube lol,but a correct interpretation non the less.

So that being known,we can see your knickname now represent's a flashy,cudly little critter.

Anyway,back to topic.
The thing i was refering to in my question of the overlooked action takeing place in the smot(of inclined ramp type),is the transfer of weight on the ramp as the ball rolls along it. As the ramp is fixed,that transfer is simply sent to ground. But who said the ramp had to be fixed?This is where i was looking at a different design-a tilting ramp. So what would a tilting ramp do?,well it would remove most of the angle at the exit point. So we would go from a 90* angle,down to about a 3-4* angle on the exit ramp.This would allow the ball to retain much of it's kinetic energy.
So i will post a pic below,so as you can have a look at it,and see if you see any advantages an disadvantages in it over the fixed ramp.]
Where would be the gain's,and Where would be the losses?

When the ball gets to point C,the ramp will tilt. The ramp will ofcourse return back to it's starting position under it's own steam-another point of work being done.

Careful, TK, it's too easy to become what one hates. 

At least, by some amazing engineering, (either the blind dumb kind or the keenly sighted kind) you can hear the crickets chirping. 

Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from these men, on the meaning of "Sincerely Asks"....

One of the most powerful sentences I've ever read by any Author, is the simple phrase:

"You have not because you ask not".

And to those who ask, either in mock sincerity or for selfish reasons....consider:

"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." - James 4:3

Don't end up like the man who bargained with life for a penny.  Because no matter how one lands, on it's head or it's tail....

The one who flips it is always on edge.
