magnet-gravity wheel

Started work on this one today, but got to go do the family thing for a bit, so thought I would do a quick update and I hope I am along he correct tracks!

Hope to do more tomorrow and update.

Comparing the two it is not too far off and the sliders do exactly as expected at each position.

I have attached some small Neo magnets for now to get the effect of weight while turning the wheel, will lathe some disks off some steel bar tomorrow and attach.

Then the next challenge will be the Smot ramp, ummmmmmmm should be fun.

Must admit one thing that comes to light is that you are not going to be able to spin this one too fast as by just doing it by hand, all arms remain outwards as RPM increases.

But for me personally alot of lessons learnt from building this one as with all other experiements I have done.

Your might be able to through some steel washer stacked together on for the weights. Just a thought.

Excellent idea Tim, save time and effort, will bolt them on tomorrow.

Because of the small size of this unit, I am wondering if a couple of 50mm in length magnets will be okay for the smot, or whever to tape a few together to make a longer ramp, will play more tomorrow.

wow it is looking really great.

another thing i was thinking about is that the smot doesn't actually have to physically touch the rollers. it would probably be better this way anyways. no friction, know what i am saying?




thanks for giving this wheel a chance and saving me time/money. really thanks!
