Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[sm0ky2]

@ omni, again you are diverting from the context. you cannot compare apples and oranges.

taking the absolute value of the potential energy dismisses the direction. however when examining a repulsion field, with respect to an attraction field - they are exactly opposite.

the points of maximum potential are on opposite sides of the field.
in this case we are dealing with a repulsion field, the point of maximum potential is at the 'surface'.

Hi All
I thought I would show you a couple of videos showing how the stop the repel comming into the Trigate, I have 3 ways to do it and I have made videos showing two of them, the first uses iron as shielding at the front of the Trigate, the second uses iron behind the Trigate as the third magnet of the triangle locking the flux in and the third takes the steelballs away from the back of the Trigate turns the magnet around and let it connect again this also locks the flux in.
All 3 ways work you just need to tune the gate a bit by getting it the right distance from the roller magnet also the roller magnet must be right in the middle you have a corradoor it must run down.
Oh it wont let me upload the videos so you can find them at the Minato Wheel Group file section there names are ShieldedTrigate.wmv and BetterTrigate.wmv.

Can you post your videos to youtube please, they would be easier to access there, thanks.

You have it right based on my experience. Of what I have read from your posts much of witch is well above my pay grade I have already verified the hard way.

This contest between you and Omnibus makes no sense.

A time out that allows reality to catch up with the facts could be useful.

Without an adversary there is no contest.

But that is what I Think

Be Well

I often do not agree with you but you have shown some common sense and reality

If you use a Wheel to enter the magnetic field based on what I have experienced there will not be an issue with the entry gate as the moving magnet will enter the array under attraction as the repulsion is encountered only at the front end of the array. IE enter the array before the end.

I offer no truths or data

Hi Tinker

I was thinking along these lines as well of entering the gate beyond the Entry Repulsion.

What if took the Rotor and made it perfectly balanced but hinged on the Axle. So it still spins around but the arms get tilted up and down.

Then some mechanism that will not cause too much friction too lift it past the Entrance and drop it into the Transition area.

Excuse he bad picture not too scale but a general idea.

For a setup like Clanzer's had I wouldn't be using my Trigate but trying my Corner gate which was made for circler motion, this will attract in and repel out with more force then the Trigate infact the Corner gate is the closest to a perfect gate I have seen, in other words if you want a train type system use my Trigate joined the way I have them joined, if you want a rotating system try my Corner gate but remember everything is a trade off you can't take attract back or repel in away you can only divert them to give you the best result for what you need.

Hi Graham

I will take a look at the Corner gate.

Home early this week and I have dragged my Big Rig into the Front Room at home as the workshop is too cold LOL.

Have played with a lot of different configurations over the last 3 hours and when you think you have one that has smudged out the Entrance, up it pops again.

Plenty more tests yet though.

Cheers
