Title: rotational SMOT?
Post by: eserf on June 28, 2005, 11:00:10 AM
Just doodeling while updating my system at work....

Take the SMOT, link a few ramps together (which has been done time and time again).... and then make the RAMPS rotate UNDER the BALL? The ball could also be a guided tube fixed so as to move only vertically with a bearing on the bottom for smooth motion. Magnets attracted to the ball pull the ramps around, gravity disconects the ball from the field as usuall, starts over. May be a better way to get usefull work... although it does seem that the speed of the SMOT is self regulating. Just a thought.... could work for the Adsitt ramp perhaps as well. NO... I have NOT made one? ;) . Just tossing the idea out there to chew on. Sometimes its nice to switch the perspective of an existing device to see what happens.

It is from a video Bruce Perrault sold from his last years Inventor?s weekend 2004.
The whole video is pretty interesting !
I wonder, if the inventor has now built a longer track to see, if it also works on
a larger scale ?

Regards, Stefan.

That also is my interest. As he stated in this short video - the train would run forever if the track is closed. The idea itself is nice. Because of rotating the magnets while cycling the wheel, the magnets see different magnet poles and repell-attract.

Its an idea, worth thinking about.

Any idea how to contact the inventor? Who is this guy?
