Roll on the 20th June

[bullsnbears1]

I've been thinking about sloping the array away from the plane of movement of the roller again.

Here's the video I showed before that demonstrates a roller mag starting on a sloping array and jumping to another vector on an adjacent array:

So I'll try this next:


And if that works, I'll try this:


It seems like the flat track will work but I don't think the wheel will work, but I didn't think I could get the roller mag to jump off an array a few days ago. Maybe sloping arrays w/ an archurian gate will work.

@gwhy!

?Maybe something in between what you showed me & this?

What you are learning with the intersections is simple and seen in the nagnetic fields of the track, the entrance area is a greater flied than any other part of the track. I don't mkae tracks anymore, as the only show the actions and to machense a track would be difficult.

But if you simply want the mayernik to loop, you should remember two things, a vertical fall always has the greatest wall breaking power, second why not simply put a tringle on the wall side, intersection out intersection direction change (or outer point of the trinagle) and intersection whre it rejoins the track.

each intersection works as an entry point, you would not need a break in the track, you only need remember to run the track under or pat the join, not stop at the join. Copy what youe see works. to stop the track at the intersection creats and end and an attraction wall as strong as that of the direction changer entry. this means the end of the riangle must run through the circle not stop at the circle as well.

Thanks for the input. Duly noted!

AQ have you done any playing around with different types of magnetic shielding?

Hi bullsnbears,
  IMO i think this will just look like a continual loop as far as the arrays go so I have my doubts ( but you never know with tweeking the spacings between the 2 arrays ) as I do with my original graphic v3 I was thinking more along the lines of rotating v3 90 degrees clockwise and having a much bigger fall for the roller as long as there was enough momentum to brake the roller away from the array. The roller can be helped to brake away from the array by placing another mag on the track in the middle but reversed polarity ( this appears not to affect the initial acceleration do much ),  I think also shielding the last part of the array would be just like putting a large lump of metal on the end of the array which the roller will be attracted to. So IMHO shielding not really beneficial in this application. But looking good and loads of things to try

no havent used sheilding as such.

attached is what i was saying, think you should get it. but you can see why i dont draw, i can sculpt, and carve things perfectly, i can do 3d paintings of ships etc, but can't think in 2d

actually as there is no wall at the interchange with the overlap, and only acceleration entry points that should run on a flat track as a loop, just remember to keep the overrun of the track past the entry and it should work every single time.

see peices of puzzles, just show me the pieces
