Now this guy is a geneius, that will absolutely work, i urge everyone to look at the drawing, it would likely work with most mag train setups actually, not as easily as one that runs under instead of both sides. but with the new array that would work. Of that i have no doubt at all.

Go for it, you should be able to build heaps of machines using it. That what you need people, more of these.

Exceptionally well done.

Note.

I should note you will need to find a way to break the wall on a vertical climb. But the mecahnics are brilliant. I could fix it for you only takes about five mins for me to work that sort of stuff out. but I let others have a play for a while.

PS got it already

try thinking along the lines of shakmans idea and you will see what i mean, think how the rods work

@All,

Even if Archer's current approach works by using lets say a 80% mag filled loop, it is going to be hard to pull any power off of the rotor because it would interupt the momentum that it is using to get thru the circle and the rolling unit would hang.

If it's mag track only, with weight on the outside doing the flywheel thing, why couldn't you tooth the outside perimeter of the wheel and interface that with a much smaller gear attached to a generator?

It's still gonna ba a balancing act to get mag strengths vs. weight involved and the draw/drag of any generation, but if you are figuring those variables in at build time, shouldn't be as hard as it might sound.

Mondrasek has a nice concept, but I think when it starts using larger masses it will have issues.

Yeah, his flipper switch is a cool addition, but I think he's got an uphill battle with the patent thingy.

So please find below the drawing for a new combo concept, which would be good at moving large masses and maintaining it's position.

Notice the catch basis at the end of each run which will break the wall and catch and hold the mass roller until the angle changes enough for the ball to get pass the timing hump and run up the other side. The timing hump is used to stop the roller from starting at to low a speed. It may not be needed, just the last magnet being closer could do it.

Can anyone see any problems with this design?

Also, the roller balls should be in some kind track to keep them centered.

Please excuse the hand drawing, but just starting to learn Sketchup.

That is COOL! Nice out of box thinking!

I have to admit that when I 1st saw it, it's reminded me of "old timey" radiator fans that cars used to have.

As long as the arrays on either side of a "fan blade" are far enough away from each other, it should have a chance.
But if they are too close it might have a problem with the effect helmut noted above as the fields we be always working in a contradictory manner to each other basically freezing or majorly slowing roller mag progress because it (the roller mag) is trying to roll 2 ways at once.

Keep 'em coming Larry!

Someone has to balance out my blather with a little content to keep the intrepid coming back.

Aces dude!



EDIT

As Archer said this will have to break the wall too.

How about the ever infamous ramp?

Give it a higher cerebral function tumble bud.

LOL It looks like a car cooling fan. But I see other problems with this one. But by all means build it, it looks like it could be a cool toy.

Thinks, Please run with it (I don't have the items) , change what needed and get shakmans to redraw. After all, this is for the world.

Larry you have a nice KISS design rotating the arm 90 degrees can get the weight even closer to center   Chet PS Archer can you post your mag array config for larry?
