Thin Magnetic Ramp experiment

[shylo]

Hi Bill, You must have watched a different clip than me. From what I could see he just releases the ball , It doesn't look like he is throwing the ball.
Regardless that type of set-up will never be capable of doing anything usefull. IMO

He says in the annotation that all you need to do is blow on the ball to get it in the gate...or something to that effect, yet, he rolls the ball as if he were in a mini bowling alley.  I submit that with that much input energy, he could have the ball go even further if there were no magnets there at all.  He is deluding himself.

TK gives the ball a bit of a nudge, but the ball rolls uphill in this video 3 ramps, and then off the table, well out of the field.
I think his further conclusions deterred him from this line of experimentation, but it does give a decent example of what this thread is attempting to do.

@At all

For the record / information.

1. The device represented in the drawings I first presented, was built. (the ramp is the shorter ramp
version and neither the sphere or cylinders are permanent magnets)
2. The roller constantly accelerates as it traverses the ramp.  (no measurement other than
eye ball observation).
3. The "magnetic current being shorted"  on the bottom side of the ramp, by the steel plates,
greatly reduces any magnetic attraction to the "roller" on that side of the ramp, and appears to,
to some extent  decrease the attraction at the tip of the ramp.  This, combined with the the momentum
of the roller, allows the roller to escape the ramp.
4. Traverse of the ramp by various rollers,  at any angle, including completely vertical can be done,
when using various "lighter weight" rollers.
5. A particular range of  roller sizes, ascended the ramp at 4 deg. max,  while still able to escape the ramp.
6. Escape of the roller was only possible when using a vary limited range of weights for the roller, even
with the ramp at 0 deg. (level).
7. No external energy is being applied by Mr. hand.

I have no doubt that this simple of a device can approach unity nearly, if the ramp were thinner.
This is a simple and reasonable conclusion.  I did not say exceed it.  I have no reason to expect
other wise in the design presented.

Next....

In the present embodiment, the roller is attracted to and transported along the ramp by
(what I will call) a sheer angle of attraction to the magnets (not directly toward a pole).

The roller's escape is like wise at a sheer angle.

What I am trying to develop is a design that makes use of a more or less straight on approach and escape
of the roller to the magnet poles, except, that a final exiting of the roller from the ramp will be 90 deg.
from direct. All momentum will be lost (as momentum) except the rational ?

Yes, while gaining height / energy.  OK?

                                       thanks for you time

TK?

I was talking about the guy in the video posted just above that says..."Gotcha" at the end.  That was not TK.  This guy tosses the ball into the gates like he is bowling...I have watched it like 5 times now.

What video of TK are you talking about?

Bill

There must be 2 different videos' The one I watched , The guy just lets go of the ball.
No bowling at all.
