SMOT TEST- can someone do this?

[The Eskimo Quinn]

can't seem to find the link from last year, but this one is alomst identical and uses 3 volts DC to lift the 500 pounds. Hope it helps your designs

Hans,

Comparing the two videos, the one with the smot in place, the ball rolls further up the ramp than the vid where the smot is not in place. 

Which videos acp?

Always willing to learn something new, if real.

These two Hans.

One shows a ball rolling down a slight slope downwards then dropping suddenly, then climbing a slight incline. a mark is made where the ball reaches on the incline.

The other shows the same track, but with a smot at the beginning of the track. The bal rolls further on this one.

Wow, that's really interesting, if genuine.  Maybe Omnibus is right and all the naysayers like me are wrong!

I think the problem with the SMOT has always been to solve mechanically the ball's way back to the entrance of the slope so that the ball be able to go uphill again, this way closing the loop.  Omnibus will be right when someone solves this.

Somehow you have to find the most optimum and most frictionless route/course for the ball to utilize its kinetic energy gained from the magnets + gravitation.
