No, it would be analogous to smot if the ball returns to A

Don't blabber nonsense. I repeat, it will be analogous to SMOT if the ball returns spontaneously at B.

I'm not going to allow stupidity to prevail. This is a warning.

Johannes Taisnierius device (SMOT and the magnetic propulsor) is of singular importance in science. It is the only device so far which proves reproducibly violation of CoE beyond a shadow of a doubt. The obvious difficulties which are encountered to utilize that violation in a somewhat more practical device (permanent magnet motor) may or may not be overcome but the far-reaching consequences for science following from this device cannot be overemphasized.

I hope I do not get ribbed too hard for necromancing this smot thread, but I had a question for Omnibus.  In the drawing below, I have an alternate SMOT scenario.  Instead of a magnet, we are using a red bungee cord.  The ball initially dangles around point A.  Then (and this is the position of the drawing) the ball is placed by the experimenter at point B, where it experiences a significant level of tension from the bungee cable.  The experimenter lets go, and the ball of course immediately and spontaneously rises to point C.  At this point, the ball runs out of ramp and of course initially lunges toward the base of the bungee cable.  The ball then falls and comes to rest somewhere at point A.

Assume the ramp is split to allow the bungee cable to remain attached.

Is the principle of CoE broken in this scenario, with the bungee cable substituting for magnets?

Hi,

Is the red bungee cord fixed in point X? Is the bungee cord some kind of a rubber band with a ball fixed at the other end?

@shruggedatlas' example need not be discussed any further. It is not an analog of SMOT.
