How to make a magnet (ball or disc) rolling a long distance, simple device.

[bikelight]

Place a magnet ball or disc on a narrow triangle magnetic metal sheet (such as iron/steel), the magnet will rolling from sharp point to wide end.  Length of the sheet, the magnet will rolling on.

A simple way to move object from A to B without any energy.   I am thinking if the magnet is made of superconduct-coil, it may rolling very long distance, but I unable to test it.

Power of this device is decided by:
1.  How strong the magnet force.
2.  Angle of the sharp point of triangle sheet.
3.  Length of sheet.
4.  Thickness of the sheet.

Adding informaton from bikelight

The narrow triangle sheet not only can be made as a stright line, also can be made as bending line or circle line.  The magnet will rolling along the line.

Where are the magnetic poles of your two magnets?

Hi Bikelight,

Thank you for sharing.

The example you show of going over broken sections is what caught my eye.

If it can jump the gaps it might be possible to create a slight curve at the end of one strip and overlap it with start of the next strip.

I attached some pictures of ideas for testing or inspiring a new design.

Very nice video.  This is like an inverted/reversed V-gate.  I have not seen this before.  Well done.
