Which machine? The wheel or the Egyptian Fulcrum?

What do you think about the one way catch? If the perm or electromag can push the rod up, then you wouldn't need perm mags at 1-2 (avoiding the dreaded sticking spot ("wall")).

House, maybe it would work.  But part of the rationale for having the upper permanent magnets was to be able to use less electrical energy at 7 o'clock when pulsing the electromagnet.  (If using an electromagnet.) 

And if you are not using electromagnets, but relying only on permanent magnets at 7 o'clock, you will probably just end up having a much bigger wall there, if you don't also have mags in the upper part from 1 to 2 or 2:30.

Using both upper and lower permanent magnets, the two "walls" don't occur when the rod is at the same place in its travel.  (One wall happens when the rod is at 7 & 1 o'clock, and the other happens when the rod is at 2:30 & 8:30 o'clock.)  So you are trying to push your way past two smaller walls rather than one big one.

Do you know anyone who has successfully broken the perm mag wall at 7 o'clock by extending the weight past the perm mag?

Interested in seeing how far the rods were raised.

Thanks. Been following their progress for a while. IMO Redrider's video doesn't show the rod breaking the wall, just his hand pushing it passed.
