Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[hansvonlieven]

G'day all,

If I was esoterically inclined I would say that Omnibus is a re-incarnation of Johannes Taisnierius. He sure sounds like it, hough the all round education of that period seems missing. All that is left is his obsession with that stupid magnet.

My advice to Omnibus is; 450 years of chasing a pipe dream is enough. Go on to something else. Maybe you could become a Lesbian or something. It would be a lot less boring.

My advice to you and to anyone else of your ilk is to go away. Your incoherent blabber is the least needed here.

Hey the only way I can accept that it will not work is too see it with my own eyes, mad I know but someone has got to do it  .

Few more videos while waiting for delivery man.

@CLaNZeR,

The videos are great save the shaky camera but that's all right. What concerns me more is the repelling force when entering the stations. You always place the piece (and the fire engine) beyond that point. I hope that in the variant with the incline the piece would've gathered enough gravitational potential energy when smoothly exiting the stations and sliding along the reversely sloping plane (hope that'd really be the case) for this piece to overcome the repelling force at the entrance of the gates.

Who knows, despite my skepticism, judging from your video 5 one may expect that your horizontal variant may also provide enough excess energy at the exit to allow the piece to overcome the repelling force at the input of the system when attempting a follow up run along the closed loop. We'll see. Like you say we have to see if that's the case with our own eyes. Very much so. Good luck again with the experiments and keep up the good work.

Hi Omnibus

I have to start it at the edge of the first gate because of the repulsion. I could push the Roller over that first bit, but I think that defeats the object. So I place the roller where the attraction field starts.
What I did expect to find, like I have done with alot of other experiements is for the attraction field to be of equal force as the roller departs, because as we all know that is the problem with magnet fields, it self balances out eventually. But with this setup the attractive field is indeed there but not as stong as you would find on a smot V ramp for instance. This is why I think it has potential.
What I want too find out next is as the curve gets to 180 degree's will it start balancing out? or when the 360 degree loop is closed, will there be no ROLL as such at all?
Looks like I will not find out this weekend as my Big magnet set did not arrive today as I expected

Found this interesting, I used bigger magnets on the Roller, made it wider and left the magnets 20mm raised above the roller.
As you can see it easly beats the exit attraction.
