CLaNZeR can achieve overunity!

An important point that many are missing here, is that magnets inside an external magnetic field don't necessarily move towards (or away) from that field, however, they will align. Place a magnet on a floating piece of wood, and it will only turn to align with the Earth's field, it will not be drawn to the Earth's north or south pole. For a magnet to move inside a field, it must subjected to a GRADIENT (change in field strength).  Closing the loop on a SMOT yields a net gradient of ZERO. Claiming a SMOT works is like saying "Look I can ski downhill without doing any work" Sure you can, but forgot to mention that you had to climb the hill first. For a magnetic field, entering the "sticky spot" is that uphill climb. Anyone can ride downhill for free, but the real trick is to ride uphill for free.

Here's an interesting thought on this subject. We talk about closing the loop in such that the
roller returns to it's start point and reenters the array. What if it could generate enough stored energy in a cap. bank due to a long roll to in effect be simply pushed back through the array. If it can run continously for a long time then it should be able to generate and store sufficient energy to be able to do this in other words when it reaches some point
it simply bounces back in to the array to return to it's beginning and the whole process is repeated over and over.

It's a pity that you skeptics this time can not use the old argument of comparing a SMOT with a "cliff" or "going down in a mountain" one more time...

You can't do that, because this is not a SMOT, it's Halbach array.

And the video is sufficient proof of the fact that the roller can overcome the gate of the second array just with the speed it gained from the first array, and both arrays are equal.

I was thinking of use two "tracks" of arrays, side by side, but you remembered them: the same array can be used in both directions!

Just use the piezos to charge the capacitors bank, and then use the energy in the capacitors bank to put the roller in a position that makes it travel in the inverse direction, through the same track of arrays!

No, your understanding of how SMOT works is incorrect. I don't want to get into this here, however. There's a lot written already on the subject.
