Yet another, free, all magnetic idea.

Great stuff ,we need one of those

Cap't Thanks

This is the concept of my new idea I am working on.

It is easy to see how the magnets need to be setup for desired operation (or non operation)?

Anyway I am about to start construction on this just as soon as I am convinced the MYLOW device doesn't work. I do plan to give him just a bit more time but then it's on with the action.

im very intrigued by your idea,

basically the shielding allows for the force to be focused in a more perpendicular fashion so the magnetic field doesn't occur until it almost squared with the edge of the stationary magnets causing an attracting action on the "red" deemed pole and then following a repulsion of the "blue"


the only feeling i have with it is that it would want to stick on the way out and the "red" poles would align

if its more concentrated it might be harder for the magnet to "pop" through the other side to be repelled and pushed away

in addition the stronger the field is created the more drag will be induced in the moving magnets

i wonder if it would change anything if you used a double magnet for the moving magnets and used single magnets for the stationary one
*in the rotating/ track type one^**

those are only initial thoughts, curious to see when you/whoever tests it



until next time

I have my ring magnets ready.  My next step is to build the rail.  Still looking for a good ferromagnetic tube/pipe for the shielding of the ring magnets.  Any suggestions for the thick ferromagnetic pipe would be appreciated.  I won't have much time over the weekend to work on this, but  I"ll try to have this completed by the 8th.

I have a feeling this will work if it's done right.  If not, please don't kill the messenger.   

Thanks.

I doubt you have the tools for this. But you could use some roof flashing and use a hole saw that's very near the size of the inner diameter of the magnet...

And another that's maybe 1 cm smaller than that. What you will then get is many laminates of it which you can stack to form a tube.

Another solution would be using dead batteries on the inside. Saw that they are quite good flux channelers on those magnetic shielding videos on youtube.
