Looping SMOT ramp ?

[ChileanOne]

You are right Chilean, I AM really interested in this. 

It appears to me that by choosing a helicoidal path he is attempting to create some sort of vortex. There could indeed be some surprises there. I have not heard of anyone trying this.

I wish Padawan well. He seems to be very methodical, meticulous and imaginative in his research and appears to be well funded by the look of it. Altogether a pleasure to see.

I  Knew it!!!!

LOL

I don't know if you have advanced in the experiments with the "decoupling" of the systems of reference, but I have been doing some thimking and tinkering and I have the suspicion that if you raise the ball in a vorticall path with, it "takes less energy" than rising it just at the same height but in a straight line. I have some fuzzy experimental evidence of that, too.

Now, combining  it with a smot, hmmm. Hmmmmmmmm..

The "SMOT" basic principle is >350 years old.
Nowadays, the complete energy transactions can be measured. (although the theoretical part is more simple. ...)

No constant "self looping", no OU...  In fact, it's a very inefficient setup.

If one would measure all the energy exchanges correctly, it would be obvious...

Cheers!
