Gaussian gun energy gain

[futuristic]

Hi guys and girls.

I'm not quite sure if this is the right forum for my experiment but I didn't find any better

So here it goes... I was playing today with my Gaussian gun and decided to measure energy gain.

Well as you will see on video I droped the steel ball from height of 0,5cm and it went up to the 4cm

See here:

Hi Frenky,

Great vidoe/experiment, thank you!

Would like to ask if you drop the ball from only 0.1cm height, will it not reach the 4cm height?
And likely,  if you drop it from higher than 0.5cm height, it would be able to go higher?

Have you been thinking on closing the loop? seems pretty easy?

Thanks,  Gyula

awesome, man    good show  almost unbelievable

thanks for the video. shows that magnets can do work.

but only once. this means not more than hanging a weight on a strong magnet, which works also continously, as we all know.

cloosing the loop is impossible, because ball sticks on the magnet as long it is removed with effort. to reload the system, you need the same energy as you get out.

@Joh70,

Correct. Except that when hanging a weight on a strong magnet the work is also done once and not continuously as you've stated. Using Gaussian guns isn't a fruitful avenue to pursue when trying to demonstrate violation of CoE.
