V Gate Wheel or the "SMOT wheel"

[Rapadura]

Well, the last few weeks have been very busy for me here in overunity.com, but today is my last day of vacation, and tomorrow I go back to my job, so the time I can dedicate to the cause of overunity will be reduced considerably.

So, before it happens, I have to start a new thread about "V Gate Wheels" and my conclusions concerning this kind of "SMOT wheel", a thread in the correct place, that is here, in the "Magnet Motors" section.

For those not familiar with what would be a "V Gate wheel", the two videos below show two examples of working devices (with a little help from the human hand):

As I posted in another thread, I have imagined an experiment to try to clarify some things about the "V gate wheel".

This experiment involves a large neodymium magnet attached to a spring that is fixed to a wall, a magnetic ball of neodymium and a inclined track.

The large magnet will atract the magnetic ball, accelerating the ball and making the ball go up on the track.

Here is a visualization of the system before we release the magnet that is attached to the spring under tension:

When the ball is half its way going up on the track, we release the large magnet, and the spring under severe tension will very quickly pull the large magnet to the wall, at a large distance from the track, so there will be no more attraction between the large magnet and the ball.

Even so, I imagine, the ball, that was accelerated already, will continue its way up, until the end of the track.

In the other thread i had asked two questions:

1) Will this really happen? When the magnet is quickly pulled back by the spring, the ball, that was already being accelerated, will continue its way up, and it can reach the end of the track? (My simulations on Algodoo software shows that yes, the ball will continue its way up);

2) If this happens, someone can imagine any relation between the magnetic force of attraction of the magnets and the force of the spring pulling the larger magnet to the wall? Or those are two separated systems?

[Rapadura]

As explained in the other thread, I had imagined this experiment because, in the "V gate wheel", apparently the attraction between the stator and the wheel at the moment when the stator begins to rise, lifted by human hand, don't cause deceleration in the wheel, maybe because of the angle of departure:

Notice as the direction in which the stator departs from the wheel is the same direction of the rotation, it departs in a direction that favors the rotation, rather than undermine the rotation. The same principle of the experiment I imagined above: the departure of the larger magnet favours the upward movement of the ball, because of the angle of departure, the direction of the departure (same direction of the upward movement of the ball).

And  this periodic "departure" is NOT the main thing that is causing the wheel to spin. The magnetic attraction between the stator and the magnets on the wheel along the REST of the rotation (let we say, 300 degrees of a 360 degrees rotation) is the main thing that is causing the acceleration of the wheel.
