someone please build it
You say it will run itself.
I say it won't. It will "stick to itself", that's about it.
Build it yourself, please, and show it running itself.
Then you can ask us to please build it and confirm your claim.
well thanks for the advice, but if I had the money and the mechanical skill, I would not be asking for help.
just to be clear, I'm not asking anyone to build it for me. build it for yourself or for the earth, whatever, if you think it has a chance to work
thank you for the constructive criticism
im sorry to say your idea is not a new one
most people ditch out on this idea and aim for a SMOT type design by making the magnets spiral in some way, but they always still run into a sticky spot
it might look something like this

angling the magnets might make it slightly more efficient but it will stick in the same spots with the "driving" magnet
notice how in the video it wont go unless he manually lifts the driving magnet
i believe your trying to overcome this with magnetic shielding, but once again it might make it slightly more efficient but still most likely not enough to have it power itself
hope this helps, you could build this yourself with only 5 magnets, 4 on a "turn table" one for the driver
use an old cd or something for the turntable so you would already have a balanced wheel and a hole perfectly in the center
@grog,
build it, claim it has a cop of greater than 1 and tinselkoala will then debunk it. you must claim a cop of greater than 1 and/or overunity, then and only then, will tk 'debunk' it (unless it's stifflers circuit, he won't touch that).

So you are asking someone else to to risk (or waste) their time and money on an idea that probably won't work?

Actually, that's exactly what you are doing.. You are asking someone to "please build this".. Remember your first post?

Tk is wicked smart, if he says it won't work you can bet your life that it won't work.
Tk is good folk, you should listen to him more often.
in fact, if my research money comes through I will personally give TK a kick back job of supervising the most advanced solar tech opportunity of a life time
I am going to need about a trillion dollars to build my space craft, I will need all the help I can get. the solar tech will help with the finances because that is what it might take.
that's a lot of money, but I think it can be done.
Jerry ;)

lol, that would be primetime viewing!
grogmark,
build it yourself to test the theory, no lame excuses about lack of funding etc. if you really believe in this then you should find a way to build it.
You flatter me.
I'm always ready to be proven wrong, but it's true, a drawing isn't usually enough to wake me up from my slumber. Especially if it's pretty much a re-hash of old ideas.
The job sounds good though, especially since I might be needing one soon.
(sorry about the trollbot, it seems to follow me wherever I go)

popcorn would be in order. he knows which battles he can win and picks only those. that's why he won't touch it.
it would be a good show though. i can see the network title now, 'dancing with the anagram' featuring the magnanimous trinity... ::) he seems to be having lots of fun singing and dancing for RA at the moment. i wonder if wild horses could even tear him away.
