sprocket magnet motor

[Unicron]

The idea is the magnets repell/attrackt and due to the sprockets it can only turn to one side and not backwards.

Could would this work?

Hope it's clear!

Unicron, so far all my magnet to magnet experiments have ended with a stationary state of equilibrium. I strongly suggest making a simple (Popsicle sticks or whatever) device to test your theory. It's fun and the more one experiments with magnets the more you learn and get a sense of the energy patterns and dynamics at work. Inexpensive ceramic magnets should be adequate for testing this device.

Looks like a neat idea, I'll be keeping an eye out for you and look forward to reading what happens when you make it.

Best of luck to you. Keep up the good work.

Yes, the sprockets at the bottom are connected, so when the magnets press eatch other outwards ( ore attract inwards) the spin can only go in one direction.

So the push/pull wil generate a spinning force, i only hope the force will be enough to line op the next 2 magnets.
It will take some tweaking, like how far apart the magnets should start passing each other, and maybe fitting some weak metal to reduse the magnetic force on a few sides.

I don't know when i will create this, i have to order some things, but i hope it will be soon!
