I've tried that configuration, it's a normal Gauss Rifle but i couldn't get i close looped.

Hi Pino,
which one did you try exactly ?
If you try the SBMOT you need to have 3 Balls between each magnet and
also 2 balls at the end on each side.
Only then will the SBMOT probably work.

I've tried this one a year ago from sci-toys.com

Thought of a zillion combinations but always ended up with the balls stuck to the magnet.

Pino,
I did buy today a plastic hose with 16 mm inner diameter and 22 mm outer diameter.
When the steelballs will be getting in here I will try it myself first to see, if I can get
the balls shooting out of a "U" turn plastic hose configuration.

As to the SCI Toys experiment:
As I said, you need between each magnet pair 3 balls and at the end you need at each side
2 balls.
So according to the upper pic you would need 13 balls and not just 9 balls
as is shown.
Then the very right ball, when it comes down again, should be able to kick the very laft ball
back up again and it should get kicked higher and higher.

Regards, Stefan.

Perhaps this would work?

@m668004

Could you please explain, how it should work ?
Gets not clear to me.
What is rotating and how are the balls moved ?
Thanks !
