Magnetic engine efficient accelerating magnet gate on youtube

Sorry to be the one to break the bad news, but the forces do balance out.  The weak repulsion going in, and the weak attraction on the way out,  add up to balance against the stronger pull going through.  This type of magnet system  is just a ring of magnets with all like poles pointed inwards, and is sometimes referred to as a bedini gate.  These types of magnet systems are fun to play with though, and in repulsion can behave like an invisible rubber membrane.

Thanks for breaking it to us gently, derricka.

No way.


Show us!

I'll try to make a video later tonight. I'm pretty busy right now though. Hint: obviously you can levitate a magnet over another magnet, by mutual repulsion. But did you know you can also levitate a magnet, under another magnet, and have it maintain a fixed position against gravity?

Derricka & TinselKoala, I encourage you to read the topics in which you post, to save you any embarrassment in the future....my comments in response to you both were a bit 'tongue in cheek', as I'd already commented on the ring magnet scenario and commensurate difficulties higher in the thread.

Keep up the enthusiasm, however!

Magnetic levitation of various expression, has been around for some time now.

@Techstuf
Perhaps you should re-read your last comment and tell me who should be embarrassed.
