Will this motor work?

[Duranza]

This is my first post so don't go too hard on me, but please do be honest. I was playing around with some neo magnets and i noticed how a ceramic (weaker magnet)? moves right accross from one end to the other in a track i made. It consists of hard drive neo magnets in the following manner (neo, steel, neo, steel... and so on). The poles are facing like this? ?S/N [Steel] S/N [Steel] S/N [Steel] S/N [Steel]. I used a 1/2 ceramic magnet and it moves both ways on the track deppending with side of the ceramic magnet is down. I have attached a picture of a circular track. I was just wondering what you guys think. I have already ordered some cube magnets and will experiment with them. I will post my results later on.

Sorry, I think it doesn't works.

In the top of the wheel, there are three cube type neo magnets, right. 2 of them first attract the right side of the large ceramic magnet (second they want to rotate 90 degree, and standing forever), and the only one neo on the left, which repulse the ceramic magnet, it isn't enough to break free the wheel from the attraction. Attraction works like a rope, unfortunately... And magnets do not want to repulse themselves, unfortunately...
And i see, in this case the attraction is minimum two times stronger than repulsion, and tie the wheel in the drawed position. No motion...

But its only my viewpoint... maybe wrong, but i think it is not...

I hope you find another solutions. But don't worry. 
It is not easy, i know...

My theory started with this setup and it works. I made the rotating wheel to see if it would hold the same principle. I think it might work. I guess i won't know until i get my 1/8 neo cubes. They  were really cheap anyways, so there won't be much loss there. I think the key is small neomagnets and a bigger ceramic magnet. I will try to upload a video of my simple linear track, to see that it does move the ceramic magnet accross the track.

Duranza,

what do you mean by "it works" ? Did you build a physical experimental setup ? Or did you just simulate it via a software-programm ?

The problem with all these setups - like the Adsitt-Ramp ( and he failed too) - is that the whole area around this setup is filled with balanced magnetic fields. The glider( runner) - even if it is getting in fast from the left - is not able to move as far out of the system in order to escape the field-border on the right.

Do not waste time. many have tried and failed. Look for the Adsitt-Ramp and study it.

Kator01,
es ist gut,dass Sie Andere vor Uebereifer bewahren.

To Duranza: if you want a workable "magnet motor" then visit the espacenet-archiv and
search under the names:Henry Bougon(FR,US), Tamke(DE),Grander(WO).
