Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[futuristic]

Hi guys.

My latest experiment:

Quite successful I think.

so adding 3 magnets to the rotor at 120 degree separation should work right? Or is the launch of the pendulum in the null zone after the repulsion zone. . The art is getting enough of a gain to be able to push a preceeding magnet into the track..Nice video..

Lets do some basic math. to calculate the potential energy before the drop .. What is the hieght of the drop and wieght of the magnet , and what is the highest point of swing? From that we can work out how much excess energy is shown..Pe=mgh

@Lakes: Close!

Well here goes my idea for a toy, sorry I?m terrible with drawings but I can blame Paint.

The idea is that the roller will accelerate and rotate at the end of the track by the momentum, and start accelerating all over again etc.etc.

Looking for something to build such a track, needs to be simple and non conductive

Could this work?

Height difference is 5mm so energy gain is not so big.
I don't have a scale for measuring so small weight.

what are the measurements of the neo on the pendulum?,Although the weight is artificially high because the wooden pendulum arm is not balanced. Therefore the starting energy is considerable , it is the wieght of the arm plus magnet. If the arm were balanced ie, just a circle with the magnet stuck to the perimeter then i suspect it would not drop into the track so easily, perhaps positioning the drop so that the magnet falls into the null would aid that..
