MAGNETIC GATE --- Possibly the best yet??

Hi MM,
Are you claiming success ?
Does this rotate continuously under its own power ?
Look forward to your next video update on youtube.
Cheers,

Hi,

When I have a self runner working for at least one day I will post it on the U tube.

So far I have not made the other 3 segments and have to replace my worn out rotor bearing.
with a large free spinning Go Kart wheel bearing. Flywheel weight will damage a small bearing real fast.           I am however feeling good about this

If made EXACTLY as described here it should put you into the ballpark.  You might have to work yourself to get up to the  batters position however since this whole concept is new.

  It works even with one segment as shown but needs more gates.   Resistance to pull in is a mute point. Exit rollback is a mute point.  What more can I say?

3 more iron segment gates should do it.   Making them now.  Feel free to construct one yourself  As shown-Turns clockwise    Used colored electrical tape to show polaritys    Please Note: Check with me first if you plan to patent my setup or make a profit from this.  I have given this freely to the world to use.  .

The magnets will experience the very same things three times instead of one time. So what is the benifit with three if it won't work with only one gate?
Note: Meant as constructive, or some kind of leading questioning

Thanks for sharing the colored electrical tape idea for marking polarity!  I agree with Low-Q.. one gate should be enough.  I would try 5 arms on the stator instead of 3.

A simple test with the setup in the video would be to place the ball bearing unit in a trough with a ramp on each side.
Once the ball bearings climb to the maximum height on the ramp they will roll back down and into the gate again.
According to the video the ball bearing unit should keep rolling back and forth through the gate indefinitely.
Or pick up enough speed to roll over the top of the ramp. 

Question, does this unit work with 2 steel wheels instead of ball bearings or is the spherical shape needed for some reason?
