The Halbach Array Meets the Tri-Force Roller.

[CLaNZeR]

Just noticed this topic and thought I'd add what I found with the tri gate (if you hadn't found it out yet yourself).  Hopefully it will help with testing and shed some further light on tri effect.

Found that stacking tri gates width wise, instead of linear, increases that thrust, so more roll away.
Just keep adding magnets till you get to the final tri gate---continue the same polarity pattern though or it won't work.

Picture attached, hope this helps and thanks for sharing your results

Hi Ray

I can see your picture clearly and many thanks.

I take it the entrance end is the single gate?

Do you just have one gate each side accept on the final gate?

Cheers

Sean.

Sean, the entrance is the lower/ flat side of the triangle.

  I think you misunderstood the drawing.  I was was just showing the progression from a single trigate to the multiple one (which forms one big one).  I included another drawing to show.  One on each side of roller.  Remember, continue same polarity schema or it won't work......uumm, ok, I'll do a drawing showing this (wanted to be lazy).  Especially since you go through the trouble of making video demos.

Hi Sean,
nice video.

Try to incorporate some 90 degrees iron core pieces like in this video:

Then you might not get this reversable attraction effect of your ramp.
Good luck.

Ok, it's kind of rough, but here is the polarity drawing (I need one of those computer sketchpads)

Why it didn't work?

I tried to watch the videos on YouTube, but the videos are no longer available.
