Thin Magnetic Ramp experiment

[Floor]

Based upon an obvious / old idea ?

I had this idea some time ago when I first read that Vgate
arrangements could draw a sphere up an incline.

I always expected that some one else would or must have
already tried this experiment ?  I thought it was going to
be just a matter of time before we would see some kind of
a magnetic ramp doing cyclical work.

I didn't want to be stepping on someones else's project or idea
so I have left it alone until now.

Attached below are several PDF files,  they show a progression
of the project / idea.  The Ball and ramp 7b.PDF is the latest
explanation of the experiments progression.  The other files
may add some clarity as to how the experiment has been
evolving.

ITS LOOKING GOOD AT THIS POINT !

Well, you are right about one thing: The experiment has been tried before. Several times.   

Starting with the first published version in 1659, the Taisnierus' device, which is the magnet ramp and ball reduced to the simplest parts.
