Graham just a thought    I bet we could use your open bottom V  gates [stationary]  on a disc    on the back side like a variable speed   sliding in or out to grab [push] mags on the back like a speed controller  or a brake [load] I wonder if clutch packs like this would take out a lot of tuning    maybe add more power?

House others   the wheel is the Boss's    others have become inspired and started to replicate   Archer had a small toy working a  stereo     red rider read the thread on his own and had a working rod till it broke   then decided to show what he had done anyway    which I greatly appreciate   and when Archer is done with his currant monster  [which he also scaled up from a prototype] I know he will figure how to scale up his first device if no one does it first   Chet
PS the same scenario applies to @Dusty @Clanzner @Exx and others   no one getting private instruction IMO

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.

Correct.  When he posted the link in here to his video, however, he claimed the thing went around a few times before the axle broke.  (That could have been due to his original spin up, of course.)

Since I am willing to give such generous odds, I am only accepting wagers of $10 or more. If you place your bet within the next 24 hours I will give you 1000 to 1 odds (with no limit on how much you can wager).

Send your money via PayPal to Newtonian.God@gmail.com.

Now that would be fun - if only this address would be registered with PayPal. Pitty, would have sent you some money, even if it would just end up as pizza + beer in the end.

Archer has explained why extending the rods will break the wall:
"To explain rotational dynamics, the wall at seven against permanent mags is always equal to the weight you are shifting, if you increase the weight, you need to increase the power thus the wall increases, if you shift the weights and leave the magnets of the wall and rod in the same place, the math for the wall no longer applies, and you are able to break the wall thus the arm will pass over and the rod will fire shifting the weight."

Does this mean if we continue to extend the weight passed the 33% increase in rod length Archer mentioned we could increase the size of the perm mag and therefore provide more power? Or is there no benefit of extending the weight further than ~33% passed the perm magnet?
