My first question on this. Has anyone used the magnet model program to see where something like this stops?
I am sure all the SMOT people have had this thought.
The drawing is crude, but you get the idea I am sure. And another thought was extend the arm and a second steel wheel 180 degrees away. It falling while the other is being SMOT up into the air.
Gravity to drop the wheel, SMOT to sent it up.
Just a thought and I am sure those would be custom magnet.
It is like a SMOT ferris wheel, more wheels and more small C shaped magnet.
G'day Mike and all,
Have a look at this small video, it shows a similar arrangement.
