Roll on the 20th June

Batman has some SERIOUS freaking magnets. Nice job on the setup.


Batman also needs a shirt

Posted another video just now after trying most of the weekend to break the wall and close the loop to restart the cycle.
Mother nature does not want to give up the secret to making it work.

@Queue
You hafe done a lot of work for your race to build a FE runner.
I do not like the fights here on board about, who is the first to make claims.
Why ?
Because : All Setups are very different from eachother.

There are just not comparable.

Archers Setup is axial while your Setup is radial.

Archer has presentet a proofe , that the Roller was succed into the circle and was lifted up and at the end falling out of the track without sticking at the last magnet.
I guess, that the power and weight arrangement in the axial arrangement is a little better,  than in a radial setup.

Sorry my english is lousy    i will continue to express my impression about the wheel I hope you dont mind

At the weekend i had made a setup that should work horizontal ( not to fight against gravity). The axle and the beam was made as a rod from fiber carbon and the Neo was round with a hole in the center . To be able to rotate on the beam.
The body of the wheel was made from strong foam  (not to fight against eddy current )and ceramic magnets where glued on the side as a roundet track.
I used this setup,because :  bevor i had made a track as a strait line , with the same ceram mags in use.
It worked quite good.Not as strong as Your or archers mags are doing, but able to climbe a little.
I was very enthusiastic.
But what happend at the first try ?
NOTHING NEW
The Roller just sticked on the stator and was not doing as  after my plans.
First I was about to give the Setup to the Kids in the neighborhood to play.
After i think it over, i did not throw it away.
In this setup, I had made one importand change .
Instead of a flat round neo i used a slightly bigger one with a hole in the center.
Now i think,that the neo was to strong for the track.

One more thing i like to tell you and rusty and the other builders.
While i was watching Archers Vid again and again i had the idea,that during the rotor was traveling in the inner circle, the rotor might rotate slightly and stored some momentum in its mass, that was used at the end of the trace to overcome the sticky spot.
It is  just a idea,but it might be of use

Keep on doing your excellent work
And dont care who is doing the first claim, as you do your research honestly  to save the world

Mankind counts on you

Double your pleasure, double your fun with double site posting.

So.....anyway.........

Like I said yesterday, I was a gonna do some building, so I got my handy dandy cutting board with the cd player motor assembly, some thin plexiglass from the garage, a bamboo skewer (with the help of my cordless drill and a 1/16th in. (about 1.5-2mm) bit, my magnet cache, and a bit of a low E string from a guitar string replacement, and a beige paneling nail and started playing.

I mounted a CD on the motor assem. and laid out 32 strips of 2 sided tape from a window insulator kit around its radius, and tried a few spins w/ a magnet rubberbanded to it, but it popped off the CD every time, so i took it (CD/motor) off and used my center marks for mounting it.

I then striped off the protective layer of the tape and started laying out MkE's of approx. size in the different shapes and sizes of neo mags I have (no scientific measurement was used, just size and length and I THOUGH polarity, until it reaches about 6:30-7:00. I was pretty sure I tested them all before placement, but obviously missed one and THEN continued testing as the polarity switch happens from that point on.).

Then the whole shebang took a car ride out to god's country where I cut an 11" X 11" (27.7-ish mm X 27.7-ish) of plexi with the protective plastic still on it, found it's center and drilled it, cut the skewer to length and drilled the 1/16th in. hole, found the paneling nail (with ridged barrel so I could use it as a rat tail file too) and used it through the skewer and plexi to place in a drilled hole in the cutting board.

@ 1st I just place the plexi on the circular run of MkE and start some 1cm 2 big cylinder mags at the start and let go, expecting them to end up on the floor.

They run to 3:00 and stop staying w/i the array track.
I do this again and again, and it stays in the track. I reach that 6:30 barrier I mistakenly made a couple times.

No big whoop, except nothing is holding the roller mags, they are physically unfettered.

I then took 2 large cylinder mags both about 1mm long and wide and put them on the skewer @ the start of the run, pull back a little and let go.
I almost consistently hit @ least 6:00. I try using the 6:30-7:00 barrier as a rubber band to break the end attract and it might work if I use more massive cylinder mags, but if you pull back too hard the whole assembly shifts to the inner pole every time.

Never did have to use the guitar string as a keeper. It had too much iron in it's core for the phosphor bronze to defeat.

I'm going to try to have a vid up in an hour or so.....but I had to tell someone.

This is cool stuff!!!

Now to get baked and flim flam....errrrrrrr.....film.

C U in a few kids!

@ Batman,

Hi Batman, how about putting your plans up so we can build ourselves?  Maybe send Newt plans so he can build with professional equipment???

Finally.

Had to go to the womans house cause she was housing the nice video equipment.

Here it is:
