Has anyone tried this idea

Hi all

I found this drawing which looks as if it may work. i would welcome any comments positive or negative. Is it worth trying to replicate?

I think it could work, but the strength and placement and metal would have to be near perfect.  Best thing you could do is try      Oh yea..if you get it to work, come back here and tell us

When I was on that path, the #1 magnet was more drawn to the metal than the repulsion force of the north pole.  Played with it a while and it always kept me thinking "it's almost there, just a little more tweak."   Has promise but basically wore me out.

I think in that case, use a more dense or heavy disc to keep more momentum through the gate.  Maybe even try using a bigger radius.  Who knows, it might not be possible with this setup, and a dead end, and I know what you mean by being worn out.  Its fustrating, as I feel there has to be some simple answer and its right in front of us, yet hidden due to a lack of imagination of accepted reality.
