Do you see what I see???

No, it's not hard to say that it won't work, if you've messed around with magnets before. If you don't believe I'd suggest that you buy 50 magnets for a total of 20$ and try out multiple arrangements yourself...

I've got a couple hundred Neo magnets and mess with them a lot but no diamagnetic ones.  I still think he's on to something and it appears he already has somewhat a proof of concept.  I'll be following this with great interest as I've always felt there is a way to do something along these lines.

i think this guy was using the same principle... his method is a bit different though.

Hi e2matrix

IF you happen to have 16 sphere magnets, you may try a test with them too, the principle would not change, maybe you would get less torque vs the cylinder magnets, I think.  Of course this just a suggestion. Fixing sphere magnets with the correct polarity orientations is not the best passtime...

At first glance I could see what you are trying to do. But as you have it, it will not work for it will skip and find an equilibrium. I am highly experienced at this approach.

The first major change is you have to have each wheel geared and your spacing has to work with the gear ratio of the wheels. also you will have to have a top wheel added to keep it from jumping due to the magnetic fields.

I did a quick drawing of one of mine but took out what else I was doing. If you add your idea to mine. Between the two of us we might have a running magnet wheel. But will it be real strong? I doubt it, but it might be strong enough.

Excellent drawing by AB and concept by Raj.  I agree with you on needing gears and a tension wheel.  Compare your drawing to the inner workings of a harmonic drive system.  The tension wheel is done away with and replaced with an elliptical plug with outer bearings.  There is also no backlash. 

Here's a demo video of the harmonic drives, http://www.harmonicdrive.de/german/funktionsprinzip/funktionsprinzip-film.html and a wiki link for additional information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_drive

I believe your drawing is a better option for the "automatic gravity engine" than the harmonic drives, but I'm posting this to spur some thought around this principal.  Maybe some aspects of the harmonic drive system can be incorporated into a working system based around your drawing and the concept of Raj.  Excellent thread.

Hello Alan,
Working together with you or anybody else, on a project of mutual interest, will be more than a pleasure.
No man is an island. More hands make a load ( mental and physical) lighter.
It is just finding a modality for working together.
Do you have a proposition as to how we can work together.
Our endeavour would be to try to make, possible, a working device .
Regards.
Raj
