In the above experiments what happens if a downward ramp of non-magnetic plate is provided at suitable angle near the hand operated gate?

The moving ball  (magnet?)  has to execute perpetual motion if the ramp is provided at perfect (critical) angle because when the ball moves over the ramp,  its distance with the fixed magnets increases thereby reducing the attractive force and the ball falls down easily repeating the motion.

Reply from maker of the video:

Hi also to you: thank you for thinking! Punkt eins: the device does not exist anymore. Point two: but the swing the magnets make is not enough at the end of the ramp to enter the magnetic field again. "Unfortunately" all my attempts have shown: without additional energy (still) does not go.

One (better two) of the best SMOTs I have ever seen.


I also like very much that the inventor Bernardo has not lost his grasp of reality. He built a nice and clever machine and did not make silly claims.
